Investment / Re: Treasury Bills In Nigeria by umulobi: 7:54pm On Dec 16, 2020 |
Hi gurus in the house, please,hear my story and advise me on next step to take.I have posted this on crime section but didn't receive any response.
I completed an application for CBN's FORM A through my bank( one of the commercial banks) to pay tuition fee in Canada last week. On Monday 14th December, 2021 I received a debit alert with more than N128,000 over what my account was supposed to be debited. I quickly checked on CBN's site for exchange rate for that day and discovered that it was N296.7 to 1CAD$.
I immediately called the customers service center to find out the reason for the excess deduction .The agent asked me how much I requested for the tuition, I told him and he did some calculations and told me that the exchange rate was N311 to 1CAD$. I countered him by telling him the rate I saw on CBN's site, he responded that there are charges attached. I made him understand that I made similar transaction in October with the same bank and branch and to same school in Canada and nothing was charged (even if there is,it should be very negligible ,not N128,000. I even transferred a higher amount in October)from my account. He was a bit confused and told me he would send me the receipt of the transaction which he never did till today.
After waiting for some hours, I emailed the customers service center with details. They responded few hours later on the same Monday and asked the branch I completed the FORM A. I replied immediately with the branch. Since then, I didn't hear from them again. This is unlike my bank that would respond and resolve issues within 48hrs whenever I email them.
Today, 16th December 2021 I sent I reminder to the customers service center via email that I am yet to get feedback from them or see a reversal of the excess amount in my account. I made them understand that I would escalate the complaint to CBN if I didn't receive a resolution within the time frame given by CBN.
Please, I need suggestions on how to resolve this issue or how to take it up ...on twitter or CBN or consumer protection council. |

Congratulations. That was a long wait since february.
I don't think you can print the counterfoil from your GC key account. You will only get notified on your GC key account that your counterfoil has been stamped, document number, status, expiry and status date updated. This notification will be under the document status section.
When you physically get your passport, you can then print your counterfoil (which is the visa stamp on your passport)
The documents you can print from your GC key account will be under the section titled messages about your application and available to be downloaded (such as your correspondence letter, passport request letter). Thanks for your response.Yes,I have downloaded the correspondence letter and also noticed that the counterfoil is there under documents. God bless. |

Congratulations @Umulobi, I never knew you later got your VISA approved after series of rejections. Indeed, your flawless resilience and determination paid off in the long run. I'm glad it worked out in your favour, my best wishes are with you. It will end in praise. Thank you so much @Frank,u reviewed my first application's SOP and identified some red flags which were not properly dealt with.I worked on those areas and reapplied, obtained approval and submitted my ppt for final processing since February but haven't heard from VFS & Canny HCommission.I have registered for Fall2020 courses but yet to make payment for tuition because of this uncertainty.

Congratulations.. This biometrics part confused me. Is it that you didn't do biometrics? Or IRCC doesn't update that section? The profile is probably a reapplication,in that case,biometrics were collected in the previous application provided it was done within the last few yrs. 2 Likes |

skylord11: 4 mins Liverpool 0-0 Aston Villa Mo Salah wants a penalty. He won't get one, though. The Liverpool forward dances and jinks and shimmies and turns to try and get away from a host of Villa players before dropping after contact from one of them. I think he knew he was going nowhere, though, and tried to pull a bit of a fast one. However, it was a tad clumsy from Douglas Luiz, sticking his leg in. Copied from BBC's site 1 Like |

Chynwe: It is becoming a bleak isolation/lockdown for civil servants and pensioners in IMO State, as the March Salary promised by Governor Hope Uzodinma has not been received Some civil servants who recounted their ordeal to Newspaper publication,Edge Point,yesterday through the telephone, lamented that the lucky ones were only given their February salary cheques,which have not cleared till today. I was issued my February salary cheque last Friday.We were told that the March salary cheque will be issued soon, but this cannot be earlier than after two weeks lockdown announced by the Governor, a female respondent (name withheld)said.What troubled her most was that the cheque could not be cashed across the counter."I was forced to pay the cheque into my personal account and as expected, it will take about three to four working days to be cleared. Another male civil servant expressed reservations on why government reneged on the prompt payment of monthly salaries it promised its workers. Honestly it is no longer pleasurable to work as a civil servant in Imo State. Workers are demoralized and the system has been badly bastardized. We have bad stories to tell,but this will be for another day,"the man lamented. Meanwhile, some displaced traders in Owerri, have condemned the government for not respecting its contractual obligations to workers. Nathan Ike-Okoye reminded government that money circulates when workers are paid as at when due.
Source:Edge Express Newspaper If this news is anything to go by then Imo people should blame the CJN & Supreme court for giving us a retired yahoo boy. |

Yes, you are allowed to and students do it. Once you change schools, you need to inform CIC via your online account. However, I will strongly advise that you don’t inform CIC of your proposed change until you are in Canada.
If you change while in Nigeria, on getting to immigration, officials at the port of entry might ask you a whole lot of questions you may not be prepared for.
I am not a guru and what I have put up there is just a an advise. All the best.
Thanks Naijaforeigner for your advice,however,if I change when I enter Canada as suggested, will I also go back to Immigration to change part time work permit issued at POE with the first school's details? |

I am a prospective postgraduate student of the university of Bremen Germany, I got admission to study Msc environmental physics, my problem now is I can't book appointment for interview at the German embassy because of passport which I applied for some weeks now at the asaba NIS office, I have done the necessary documentation and capturing yet they are telling me there is no booklet to produce the passport,. I even tried to rub their hands maturedly yet the PCO insists that he understands my situation but can't help. I don't know what to do please let me know what I can do about this because time is really running out as the interview appointment at embassy seems to be filled.
Kindly advise Thank you so much Best regards I am in NIS Asaba,we have captured your biometrics here so you can't go to any other passport office to apply for a passport. If I may ask who handled your file at NIS Asaba? It is a fact booklets are scarce but if you go through the proper channel you will be given attention. |
