Try HSBC or Amex, there has to be someone who issues international money orders.

Hi

Well,i raised my draft in us dollars from oceanic bank,but what i did was instead of trying to convert the canadian dollar to usd i just did 1 for 1 i.e 550 canadian dollars=$550

If you sent that draft to CIU Sydney for FSW1 application, it is coming back.

[dreamteam]

so what do we do in nigeria?
no hsbc or any other international bank in nigeria yet
are we in trouble of some sorts.how did u do urs and when did u do yours

 

[PMM]

Hi

No PMM,i wasn't sent back cos i received my receipt and we don't send our application to sydney from nigeria,we send it to accra ghana.

1. don't confuse people all FSW1 applications from 02/08 go to CIU Sydney where the fee has to be in $Can. You may have applied prior to that time or not in FSW1.

PPm was right, I raised my draft through a friend in canada. I paid the naira equivalent into his account and he raised the draft from a Canadian bank. I have since received my confirmation to submit the full application

 

[barsindoo]

Contacted a long lost friend that way and he assured me that $CAN draft can be obtained from CITIBANK. The only caveat is that you most have a dom account.

Peace

nice one,please let new applicants from Nigeria if it's true,cos i asked a lot of bankers and they all couldn't help.it's good,pls if it's been tried and tested,pls spread it.pls how many people from 9ja have been issued visas since the new process atrted?

 

[Jada]

dreamteam, it is near impossible to get an international draft from a Nigerian bank. What i did was to send to get the draft from a friend of mine in the UK. I paid the naira equivalent in her account. Don't even try US dollars. as per Nigerians who have gottten their visas under the new system? I don't know.

 

[rajnik1976]

@ dreamteam - you should seek help of any friend/relative living outside Nigeria because that's the only way you can get out of this situation.

Good luck.

 

[barsindoo]

Give CITIBANK a trial. It's an American bank after all.

 

[dreamteam]

please am i to send police reports to accra at this stage?i am just sending to local for the first time since aor?

 

[rajnik1976]

Sorry, could you elaborate your question a bit?

You only need to obtain police clearence certificate if you are stage 2 and have been asked to submit your application to local Visa office.

Are you at stage 2 now?
