Morning guys, where can someone do COVID test in Lagos for 35k.

if u pay for a one way courier for ur port, How do you get ur port back? cause VFS said i can only use their courier which is really pricey

Kema22:
Hello...I also didn't get any confirmation from vfs do I ed the office with the live chat software and I was given my tracking ID. When I checked this evening it was showing that my port is in transit for stamping and I submitted on Monday.
So, relax. I am sure they have received it and since its already a week, they must have sent it for stamping. It may even be on the way back. You can also message vfs office to ask for your tracking ID so you can track it yourself

Thanks Kema. id you get any notification in GC key yet?

gracedson:
Just calm down, let’s see how tomorrow goes. Abuja VFS even called me sef, there have been lot of comments on this forum that Lagos is not as fast as Abuja.

gracedson:

Good Morning guys. so here is my timeline and story.
1st time applicant.
Application submission-May14th
Biometrics-May 27
Medicals-August 11
Correspondence-September 7
PPR-September 7 (about 30 mins after correspondence)

i received nothing on my application till September. I sent mails but they said to stop so i did but on September 7, i sent another one begging them to answer me and after 30 mins, I got my PPR. Infarct, Eligibility never changed till i got my correspondence.
To my story

I am a product of God's grace. When God says YES, believe me, no one can say NO. I applied to about 3 schools but i picked a course not really related to my discipline because i wanted funding. Sha, i was reject in two of the schools and i was giving an alternative in the 3rd university which is MUN to take a graduate diploma and upon my performance this fall, i will switch to the masters program which can be funded.
It sounded great and i asked here on NL for people's opinion if this was a good offer.it wasnt logical so majority of the people discouraged me saying i had a good grade in my undergrad cgpa of 4.+ so if i applied, my visa might be rejected. Also, there is no career progression, i am going for a course which is not aligning and so on.
i didn't know what to do but at some point, but i decided to give it a trial.

i went ahead to submit my application. The point i am trying to make is that.
My application looked impossible and even me myself was skeptical about it

1. I had limited fund i.e my funds where less than 7m, the funds where lump sum. It was sent to me about 5 days before i applied and i never showed where it came from i.e the persons bank statement cause it was from various sources.
2. i didn't pay any tuition not even deposit
3. Doesn't look like there was career progression
4. going for a different course

Document submitted
1. My university transcript, degree cert, waec etc.
2.My bank statement
3.Nysc cert
4.SOP- Very detailed 4 pages
and some other document like employment letter, payslips (just 2 years work experience with NYSC)

Infact, i have started preparing for another application window and was about tom pay for ielts and start the process again but GOD had plans for me. Little did i know .

Sha Sha Sha, God did it. My point is to give us hope that God can break all protocols if we believe. This platform helped me a lot. I cant count how many people i DM to help me and they were all willing. I did it myself, No agent whatsoever and it was all based on the knowledge i acquired and information i got from this platform.
God bless us all. lets Keep the hope alive and it shall surely End in Praise

Please, i am looking for a roommate/ Accommodation (F). I plan travelling next month to ST Johns. Also, where can i get the Johnson and Johnson[right][/right] vaccine. Since its one shot. Please help. I am trying to save cost.

Thank you all

Guys,I submitted my port today but didn't occur to me to do a 2-way courier with DHL, i only did one.

im really worried. What can i do?

For people who used DHL around where was it located?

Anyone going to Memorial University this fall, Female...I need roommate for the time being.

Please, should i send my port to Abuja or lagos? cause school resumes tomorrow i want to travel fast

PPR dropped this morning....This is the Finger of God...'Cause my application was absolutely nothing and this is no lies. I'll drop my timeline soon to encourage us and to let us know that God can break all protocol for your sake and that what GOD cannot do does not actually exist. This platform is the very best. Trust me.
Thank you all

Asking for a friend please, How does one go about stamping ones port after PPR request

Hi everyone, Please i need clarification on something. I applied with a gifted sum of money, i was gifted the sum of money for my study permit and its been in my for a while now. since IRCC has refused to answer me for like 3 months now. Can i use part of the money cause this money has just been sitting in my without any active use.

Kindly advice

Good morning beautiful people.

I have a very important question to ask. if someone get his or her visa approved (PPR) to go for fall but you decided that you do not want to go by september again but by january. what step does one have to follow? does the person have to tell ircc that i will be resuming in january and will they extend the study permit period?
Please answer guys, Thank you all

You are welcome Chief.

Of a truth, the Non-STEM graduates I have seen so far that got Fully-funded Graduate offer from Canadian & US Universities are those in
- History
- International Relations
- Political Science
- Language & Linguistics etc.

I haven't really come across Non-STEM in Management areas that got Fully-funded Graduate offer in a Canadian or US universities.

But I feel the possible game changer for you is if you can tailor your Non-STEM Management Research Interests to STEM cos have seen posts on twitter whereby some two guys in Banking & Finance field have to tailor their Research to STEM , which enabled them get a Fully-funded Graduate offer.

How can you do that?

Since you specialise in Finance & your Research interests are on
- Corporate finance and investment banking or international finance, if you are skilled in Data Analytics (Python, SQL, R-progam, Advanced Excel, SAS etc.), you can easily go for RESEARCH INTERESTS in Business Analytics, cos your skills in Business Analytics can be applied to Corporate Financing, investment banking , international finance

You can go through the Post in the link below, you might find it helpful

Gaskiya, it's no Child's play.

You can try send a soft reminder to those Profs., they might just respond. Some would respond after such reminder telling you "sorry for the late response, blah blah"

A SAMPLE OF A SOFT REMINDER MAIL TO THE PROFESSOR YOU SENT A COLD MAIL TO

Dear Dr/ Professor X.

My name is Arinola Cardozo, I am a potential applicant to program x. I sent you an email 5 days ago regarding the potential of you being my supervisor for so so program program. I decided to re-send this e-mail as I was not sure you had seen it.

I look forward to hear from you soon

Kind regards,
Arinola Cardozo

Also Make sure your mails are sent in the timezone of the Canadian province the Professor (school) is located, Send mails to Canadian profs. preferably in between 12.30pm & 2.30 pm , cos that would be the 8am, 9am of those profs. In Canada. Doing this would bring about a certainty that your Mail would be on the Top 5 to Top 10 Mail inbox of the Prof.

Very importantly, don't send a Mail to a Prof. on a weekend, cos if you do, your mail would be submerged by those who sent it on Monday at the aforementioned time and it won't be treated with any priority.

Thank you so much lekiboboe. i intend specialising in Finance. Research interests are in Corporate finance and investment banking or international finance.

Please who is experiencing a delay in their GRE? My friend has written his GRE since the beginning of the month and it’s yet to be ed to his profile!

it happens, your friend should mail them, they would tell him what exactly is delaying his official score. This may be due to investigation by ETS especially if the test was done at home.
