This should be a good thing right?

Then maybe banks will have more funds available, and people will be able to get FOREX through the banks.

What is happening in Nigeria?

This is just too much!

Guys has anyone received a PPR for a minor?
What are the documents required?
Since they didn't do biometrics, do they still need to pay the Biometrics Transmission Fee?

Kayz3446:

I was denied my study permit and I have ordered and received my GCMS notes which I would want to share with you before applying again because I have been itted again for a program fall 2021.please let me know how to show you the GCMS note to advise me on what to do

Okay, please send me a PM.

Kayz3446:
@letskeeptalking I will like to ask if you can give me a way to communication with you like WhatsApp.I need to talk to you regarding my application

Hi,

Please send me a PM

teefinix:
Thank you and congratutions.

I have similar situation. I have 3 children whom i want to take along while traveling this spring. I am presently awaiting response to my request for written authorization. Meanwhile, if granted, is one-way ticket ok for them? they have visit visas

..

Did the Authorization request include them? If not, you will need to get for them too.

I don't know about visiting visa though, but I think a one-way ticket should be fine. If they ask you can tell them you decided for them to stay with you for the period of your study, and they already had visas.

closetoyou:
Congr :Datulations!!

I am next bi idhnillaah

Amen!!!

2. Did you do anything specially to expedite the process? Because that processing time is mind-blowing!! �

I'm having sooo many DMs all asking the same question, and I'm really getting tired of sending the same replies. So I'll just post my own little insights here and hope it helps everyone.

1. Pray and Pray and Pray . . . I know some people will argue, but I think God plays a huge role in all this.

2. Do your research . . I followed the exact steps on their website on how to apply for a visa during COVID. See link below.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html

3. I have really young children . . 3 of whom are US citizens and can come with me. I travelled with two of them. I guess they didn't want to separate my girl from the rest of her siblings.

4. It's better to travel first and then get your study permit. Because you can use that and your Canadian address to send an invitation letter to your spouse and children.

5. Reason for their travel should read something like . . . to stay with you for the period of your study since you can't be travelling back and forth to visit because of the COVID situation.

6. PoF is critical . . . I got the exact amount required for the whole family and had the cash in my . I also had it for a long period so it showed when I sent in mybankstatement. They like to think that you will be bringing in money, rather than coming to take.

Applications are assessed on a case by case basis, so the secret is to find what works best for you and use it.

For someone without young children, you can say you need your spouse because of emotional strength, especially during this COVID situation and the likelihood of a lockdown. Being alone and separate from your spouse is not good for your mental health (or something like that). Please don't quote me oh, I'm only suggesting

If you still need further clarifications please feel free to DM, but you will have to bear with me, it may take me a bit to answer.

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert oh, just sharing what worked for me.

Residentourist:


A big congratulations to you and your family. Please I need a few clarifications from you as I hope to follow in your footsteps in a few weeks. When you said you applied for visitor's visa for your hubby and your daughter, did mean you applied for them as a sponsor ie issued invitation letter and the works or was it your husband who applied on his own and just mentioned that you were a student resident in Canada already?

Technically it was my husband that submitted the application. But I filled in all the info myself (I'm better at it). And yes, I wrote an IV letter for him and attached my study permit.

I used NSE.

bollybeejay:

Can you share your number?

I'm sorry . . please send me a DM and I will try and answer.

TennieYF:


The visiting visa was so fast, I've heard SOWP takes a longer time, is this true?

I think these things are done on a case by case basis.

I have a friend here whose husband's SOWP took about a month. And another who has been waiting since January . . .

I really don't know.

But, I think it helps if your children are really young.

Teeprecious:


Please I also intend to do this after I land. Does it mean ur daughter will be on visitor's permit in canada or can it be converted to study permit for the duration of your own studies too?
Also,does it mean only one's spouse can bring the kids? What of if I decide I prefer my mum cos honestly dunno how soon my hubby will tidy his business and job here to come over and I want the kids to come asap when I land.
Kindly shed more light on this.

She will be issued a study permit at the border. The primary application is a visiting visa. Study permit, work permits are all determined based on the period of stay.

You mum will also be okay. Doesn't have to be your husband. Any immediate family member will be fine.

Kkddyit:


Congratulations. Please can you share her timeline including that of your daughter.

Thank you very much.

Thanks guys . . .

I applied for my study permit on 15th of October 2020
Got my PPR 5th of Jan
Travelled to Canada on the 18th of Feb
Applied for visiting visa for hubby and daughter on the 5th of March
Got their approval on the 29th of March (Hubby missed the email so we just found out yesterday)
PS: I applied for visiting visa for hubby because he will be returning to Nigeria after bringing my daughter. Otherwise a SOWP is the right application for those who want to stay.

Guys, what's the latest procedure for submitting a port?
My spouse's PPR just dropped . . . and a Medical request for my daughter.
Could anyone confirm if he will need to go to the embassy to submit the port?

Baba Soyinka, what of Nigerians who Trump nko . . . Claiming he is sent by God. A man who has openly shown hatred for us as Nigerians and for Blacks in general.

Why a Nigerian will him, for whatever reason, is beyond me.

We just don’t love ourselves!!!

Seeeker:
She is paying rent for a business premises. We created a different source of income to be used in financing the rent. So this is not a matter of having no money to pay rent in her business. But she never showed me receipt of rent paid over the years.

Suddenly last week, premises owner locked out wife's workers and her over unpaid rent. I asked why she has not been paying rent. She said I should not worry about the premises owner, and that it's a small issue. I went to the place and met everyone outside and was told wife has went to see the landlord. Some minutes later, a different person brought the key and opened the office. Wife called and asked me to go and that she has paid him. I left and returned one hour later to hear more gist and I was told that wife has not returned from the man's house. I left. The fact that wife never showed me receipt tipped me off that something was brewing between the two. When wife came back at night, she washes all clothes and bra she wore before leaving the house in the morning. Wife usually don't wash clothes at night, only in the morning. That shows she was trying to clean up something. She said nothing about her encounter with the landlord. That night, she was checking her boobs in a secluded part of the house; when I showed up behind her unannounced, she was shocked and moved away.

Being a very serious Christian, I knew that she would feel guilty. Since that night, she became moody. That means the premises owner was waving the rent to get into her pant. We had our first major fight last month because she has been denying me sex for many months. Sex was happening like once in a month. During the fight, she said God would choose a prostitute for me that I can copulate with always. After the elders settled the fight, I decided never to ask her for sex again. I started monitoring her phone and got what I was looking for.

If I try to stop the investment that is meant to pay her business premises rent, that means I will resign from my job. Besides, I'm tired of the job, just doing it to get the money...the shame I get from the job is unbearable. Instead of paying rent, she was lavishing money on clothes. She spent money like father Xmas during the new year, but because she doesn't want her bank to go red, she couldn't summon the courage to pay landlord out of anger and opted for option of using her body.

I know she was caught unawares. But I can't try separation because of my daughter. My daughter is worth someone to suffer for in marriage...such an angel. Besides, given my status in the community, divorce will tarnish my image.

I decided never to let her know I caught her. If she wants, let her tell me herself what she did.

You may want to say I should gather money from the job and start something else... Money realized there can only pay bills in the house, the investment is the only gain but it is meant to pay wife's rent with the hope that if wife's business booms, we can plan something better.

You didn’t ‘catch her’ . . You are just making an assumption with no concrete evidence I might add.

rawfact:


Oh, you just discovered that? They started the division years ago. Trump only fought back tenaciously, while maintaining amazing focus on growing US Economy, drastically reducing unemployment, securing US Borders, funding US Military in trillions of US Dollars and keeping oppositional countries like China and Iran at bay.

He was really amazing in strength, fighting both local and foreign "wars" at the same time. Biden dare not oppose western media (especially CNN) even if their move is not in the best interest of the American people. He dare not. Now, Social Media Giants have been enlisted into the "cabal".

Trump remains a Legend - a Hero of all time.

CNN is not the only US media naaa. Most of them Trump. Fox News will say Trump’s poo is health and can even be used for economic growth.

There is nothing wrong with the Media having a voice, and using it as the see fit. That’s democracy after all.

But somehow you Trump ers only focus on the ones condemning Trump, and never mention the ones egging him on.

I wonder how CNN was supposed to stop him from doing his job as President, just because they give bad reports about him. Stop pointing out irrelevancies to your GOD, Trump.

Twitter bans people who post obscenities. Why should he get special treatment because he was President? He was warned, but he taught he was above the law. He got what he deserved.

I agree with Morgan . . . Shame on him!!!

Let’s watch and see how fast his wife will divorce him!!!

bukatyne:


While bonding with the children is on the man, let's not ignore that the mother teaches the children to disobey their father by undermining his authority over them.

How can a father call his sons to wash the car and the mother say 'they are sleeping'?

Did they go to the farm overnight? Can't they wash the car and go back to sleep?

If sleep is so important to them, can't they wash it the night before?

And shouldn't a 20 year old help his father dress up for work? Polish his shoes, iron his clothes, help him co-ordinate his wears in the newest fashion?

Let's assume the man doesn't actively seek to bond with his kids (a lot of Nigerian fathers are guilty); can't the mother encourage it especially if they are not in an abusive marriage?

The mother should be the one pushing the kids to wash his car, polish his socks, iron his shirts, pick his tie etc. That way, they would bond and the father can nuggets to the sons.

The sons would also learn how to be responsible, co-ordinate/lead a family, note the father's mistakes to improve on etc.

If the OP was complaining about the sons not sitting with their father to watch CNN, I would ask if the father sowed the seed to reap such.

But disrespect on the mother's orders and with her backing? Na!

I agree with you that the woman’s role in this case is questionable. But the boy is 20. At that age he should be able to take decisions without being influenced by his mum. He should want to help the father, even if the Mother were against it.

Apparently the only strong influence they have in their life is their Mother.

My point is that such influences are formed at early stages in life. I don’t think the children, if they had a good bond with him in the beginning, would turn on him now.

Or do you also agree that the responsibility to raise and instill discipline in the kids lies entirely with the woman? How come when a child turns bad it’s somehow the woman’s fault? Where was the man to play his role too?

Growing up my Dad had a very busy Law practice, and my mum was a Teacher who was home almost all the time. But we also felt my Dad’s presence because whenever he could he would go through our books, help us with school work, visit us in school hostel e.t.c. He was busy, but also present.

I would say I also have the kind of job my dad had because I’m always traveling and closing from work very late. But should that be an an excuse for me not to get involved in my children’s life??

While I understand that in this case the woman is not acting properly, my point is that she is able to do that because the man neglected his duties as a Father when he had the opportunity.

omojesu202:


Yes, bonding is important but not everyone is good at it especially with some jobs. Now, if the children are disobedient to their father but not to the mother, isn't it obvious?? she can correct it, not as if he's the type that beats his wife.

Women also work, sometimes even more than men. Men just choose not to bond, and that decision is nobody’s fault.

A woman cannot tell her child what to feel.

At the end of the day whet the child will is how he felt safe with the Mother and no recollection of ever having such feelings for the Fathed.

omojesu202:
It is no news that most marriages are collapsing.
Mine is just two years but I also see signs of collapse.
What's happening in my brothers marriage is painful to me because I know the financial investment and sacrifices he puts into it. I don't know what he did to his wife but she has turned his children against him.
imagine that you cannot tell your 20 years old first son to wash your car like 7am, the mother will tell you that you should allow him to enjoy his sleep. Not once, not twice and not thrice.
This is the children you'll go hungry and borrow money to pay high school fees to make sure they go to good schools.
It is painful to me because I knew when he was paying 200k per term each on three kids while his basic was just 300k.
Now the firstborn and secondborn will disobey him on ordinary washing of car just because he can no longer meet up.
Please how would you handle such issues?
You might just hear that a man killed his wife and three children in the news. That would not be our portion.

From outside, she has been a good woman but she didn't blend the children to their father. They nature of his job takes him on transfer always and not stationed with his family but regular monthly visit is always there.

Is it a woman's job to connect the children to their father? Are they not his children? Why did he not ensure he creates that bond between him and them.

When men will abandon children for their mothers, and be forming big man. . in taking care of your own children. This is the consequences.

You don't know the bond that develops over little things like helping them with bathing them, feeding them, helping them with their assignments, taking them to school e.t.c You think the children know/care who pays their school fees? It's the person who was there for them emotionally that they will love and appreciate.

Nigerians men continue forming big men, but don't cry foul when your own children turn on you!!!

Vyzz:





Right now it doesn't matter who to ...


The Man is dead and the dead can't defend themselves...

This is a one sided story for eternity

So because he died the lady should be punished for defending herself?

Please does anyone know if students with approved Visas are considered non-discretionary?

Has anyone travelled on a study permit after January 7th? What exactly were the requirements for travelling?

Thank you.

NwaAmaikpe:




Point of notice...the spark never remains in love or in marriage. It is left to you to spice it up through mind games or sexual escapades.

Your husband is not the only one guilty of not noticing what he should notice...you are too!
Don't tell me you have not noticed other men who are noticing you.

Notice them back, flirt with some of them...get distracted by the attention they give you and if you have the heart for it; spread your legs for a few but please don't bring home a bastard baby.

Your husband will definitely notice your lack of clinginess and he will begin to cling to you out of fear that he may be losing you because like Usher rightly said; "you never miss a good thing till it leaves you".

I don’t know why they’ve not banned you permanently!

Semaj77:



Her story has a lot of holes in it , what is more harmful is believing any fake rape claim

What part are your finding difficult to believe?

The part where she said he threatened her with a knife? Or the part where she said she was hypnotized?

Let’s say she wasn’t even hypnotized, that she followed him willingly. Why would she lie about being threatened with knives??

Seriously, talking about the dangers of false rape allegations at this point sounds a lot like you are a rape apologists.

The man is dead, butchered by someone claiming he tried to rape her and threatened her with a matchete. Did you ask yourself how she got a matchete in his house to kill him with?

This lady is risking her own reputation by coming out to corroborate the Corpers claims and you guys are acting like she is out for the dead man.

She was raped at 18 and told no one out of shame. Now she is matured, she is taking the risk, showing her face, telling the whole world. Why would she do that if it were a lie

Missssii:


I have stopped being shocked about how some men on nairaland reason. For my sanity I just shake my head, scroll and vow to lay a proper foundation of empathy and respect for my children. Cannot dare birth boys that will come online to act a fool.

It’s truly disheartening shaaa!!

Pochettino:


Detective Fashola, where is your proof to justify this as 'rape'?? Her word against nobodys?

So once a crime is committed and the victim claims rape, it should be dismissed? I pray you & your family lose your lives and the perpetrators claim rape, then you will understand. Bloody fool

I doubt if you are truly female.

The comments on this thread are truly shocking. Now I'm beginning to agree that we have a rape culture in Nigeria.

Hi everyone,
I applied to the University of Manitoba for a graduate program in Fall 2021. I completed my application yesterday after being delayed by my Professor.
I attempted to pay the application fee with my debit card and with Barter to no avail. Finally, I tired Paymytuition.com as recommended by the school.
Payment went through and I'm told it will take 3_5 days to send it to the school.
Application deadline is on the 15th of this month.
I have sent an mail to the school telling them of my situation.
Looking for advise here on my situation. Thank you

Did you send evidence of your transaction to PayMyTution your school? Technically the transaction takes effect when they remit to the school and it takes about 3days like they said. They should remit same day they receive.

I think you can only hope for the best at this point.

oyibo4real:


Hi babes can we connect cos am in a similar situation too, though yet to get my visa. I intend to go with the Nigerian citizen and later apply for my hubby alone since the rest dont need visa.

Did you apply with your Nigerian citizen child?

You Visa is on the way too, Amen!

nextstep:


Eh... this slump is par for the course. See the other dips over the past year? Notice the recoveries after March, and again in November? As a serious investor, you would buy more twitter now that it's on sale.

Wow, what a brilliant idea!

I bet they didn't see this one coming. Jack needs to fire his risk assessors!
