My agent is charging me 930 for Canadian dollar rate while it's showing 850 to 900 in the official aboki rate. He's insisting that buying cad with naira there in Canada is more expensive than the Nigerian market.(He's in Canada).
Is he being honest with me? The highest i can see CAD to naira in black market rate is 900 and he's insisting on 940 🥲
I can't back off right now he's going to want to intentionally withhold some of my important documents I'd be needing because he's the one who started everything from the admission to the initial school fees deposit for me.
This is just ruining my finances.
Please nairalanders how much are you guys paying for CAD?


I'm just so sad right now
finished what u ve started.

Thank you for your kind response, congratulations once again.
gideon19:


I used 1 year for my UBA MBS
Spouse used 6 months (i think that's the max) for GTB MBS

I told them I have 94k CAD [liquid] as proof of funds just for this programme and I showed other assets in my name.
NOTE: I used N561.686/CAD 1

I also ensured I have more than the available funds stated in the SOP i.e. more than the 94k CAD.

Instead of 10k CAD for primary applicant, i used 14k CAD cos, that's what they stated in the admission letter. The insurance is also from the school, so I used info I got from the school to draft the table



I just even realize say i made a mistake for this table. [lolz]

Just want to know if Canada conversion rate differs from that of Nigeria.
I talked to an uncle in Canada also he said converting naira to cad there is most times like 100 naira nigher than normal black market rate in Nigeria that's the reason I'm not doubting the agent much. But it's really draining.

Bro we have gone a long way already and i just funded my gic account.
I confirmed from one of my uncle (who refused to assist me) about the rate and he told me almost the same thing, that converting naira to cad in Canada is most times 100 naira higher than Nigeria black market rate that's the reason I'm still giving him benefits of doubt

Already paid my full one year tuition fee wish I saw this earlier. And a family uncle also confirmed what the agent said that converting naira to cad is sole tunes higher than normal naija black market rate that's the reason I'm still following him calmly.
Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Stardor: 9:28pm On Nov 15, 2023
Big congratulations to you, pls how many years programme are you going for? Reason I am asking is because of the proof of funds you provided, its moderate compared to what my agent is asking me to have in my account..

I posted here earlier that the agent that did my vv visa wasn’t communicating with me, and didn’t give me access to my account. I also tried the application status tracker but it didn’t go through. It was after I submitted that I was able to view my vv visa application and saw that it was refused.

In my imm form, when asked if I applied before, I said yes. When asked if I was refused, I said no, that my application was still in progress, without me knowing that my application was refused.

On November 1st, I raised a million web forms updating IRCC and explaining that it was an oversight on my part, and indeed, my visitor visa application was refused. I raised more web forms on Monday

Help me praise God ohhhh

I used a virtual dollar card from Payday to pay for mine. Or you can try Pay4me.

I think Cadremit is better when you have student ID number already.

Hello,
Please I will be needing any form of assist.
I applied for my study permit visa and did my biometrics on the 22nd of September, 2023. I already did my medicals on the 11th of September, 2023 and the result was sent to IRCC by the panel physician on 16th of September, 2023. I received a message on the 6th of October requesting for my medicals, which was sent same day by submitting a case specific inquiry and attaching my e-medical document, which i got a feedback few days later saying the document was received. On the 7th of November while doing my daily check on my IRCC portal to confirm any update, i noticed my medical status now shows 'We did not receive the results of your required medical exam. Check your medical exam request message below for details'. i filled another webform and the portal still displays the same and I got a feedback indicating they got the document and due to technical issue it might not reflect on the portal.
Please I would like to know if anyone had similar issue and how long before he/she got a feedback?.. it’s been 5weeks+ now after medical request and I’m to resume January.

In my case, I did upfront medicals on the 30th of August, medical officer uploaded my completed result on the 6th of September, I got medical request on the 19th of Sep., medical was passed on the 30th of October.

I believe your case will be resolved soon as your webform is acknowledged.

Freeman6771:

I submitted at DHL office in Ibadan, but my passport got to VFS office Abuja the following day.

I suspect some passports are stamped outside Nigeria. I believe this is the reason for delay in some cases.

I’ve really learned the hard way. The whole time the agent was using my funds to pay her own tuition. So painful
Oh my God.
You didn't get your refund or get him arrested?
I came to an agreement if my visa get refused I'm getting my complete refund if not he knows I'd go any extent to hurt him or anyone close to him that's the reason I'm not really bothered about all these few naira he's adding on the black market rate.
Our matter go enter news if i get refused which I'm praying I don't.
