That's a good rate compared to other banks like GTB and stanbic..Divide 22,000/134=N164 per CAD..I did a transaction with stanbic and I was charged N173 per CAD. You are lucky man!

You were NOT informed that's d reason it seems u're deformed. They just added 1,712 Naira interest rate and u are shouting. Canadian Dollar in the bank exchange rate is 151.41 to 1 Naira. U should be happy that it went through and make sure u're ready for the tuition and other fees. Success to all TRV hopefuls!

Re: Travelling To Canada Part 9 by Kris99: 3:31pm On Nov 22, 2015
Greetings from Toronto to you all incoming and prospective students. ON how to get cheaper air tickets, Isuggest you do book it through credible websites or agencies. You could always check and compare prices from expedia.com and make a choice. I am pretty sure the VAC/IOM which process your applicants also has extremely discounted air ticket rates for Canada-bound students . Dubious individuals posing as ticket agents may inflate the rates or abscond with your money. Be cautious.

On student jobs here in Canada, as one of the colleagues said above it is always open to chances, the season and the aggressiveness of the student. I was a masters student in Political science and had a guaranteed job as Teaching and Research Assistant for 1yr. I was making $32/hr

What you must know is that most student visas come with limited number of on/off-campus hours of work. In most cases CIC forbids you from working more than 20hrs per week so long as you are a full time student. What most aggressive students do is to do what is called working under carpet. it means you work alright but must make sure your company doesnt pay in your name so it does not reflect in the database of the government. There are ways around that sha. Summer (May-Aug) is the best time to land multiple jobs in populated provinces like Ontario. Be careful not to overwork and have your academic grades sink. The best way to get a job here is to sign up with Temporal recruitment agencies, register with job search websites or rely on referrals of other students who are already established here. You could make btn $CAD 11.35-20 depending on the type of job. I hope this helps.
