I have a shapefile that define X and Y in meters, not lat and lon. Then I have another file (CSV) that stores points locations as lat and lon, e.g. 30.4, 2.2.
I want to load these two files as two layers in QGIS 2.10. First I added a shapefile as a Vector Layer. Then I added a CSV file as a Delimited Text Layer.
I can only see a map (shapefile). How can I correctly project lat and lon? I tried to set different CRS, e.g. EPSG: 3857, for the Delimited Text Layer, but nothing works.

The best approach I found so far is the right-click either layer, select 'Save As', select your preferred CRS and "Add layer to canvas'. Your new layer should be re-projected and visible.
Another thought as well; do you have 'enable on the fly' checked under Project Properties > CRS?
Hope this helps.
