@ poster
its very difficult for anyone o advise you based on what u have submitted. can u be more specific? what excatly do u mean by your status
how are u there for 10 years? are u a permanent resident or what
what have u been doing there that gave u the money to pay your fees in canada
are u a nigerian citizen( i note u used 'niger')
applying from outside nigeria is always a preferable option but that depends on your legal status in the outside country.
other people might be able to help when u becomme more explicit

thanks my brother, am asy seeker, i dont know my fate yet almost 4 years ago

@Phil2009,

If what you are trying to do is apply for Canadian permanent residency from Europe, you can do it only IF you were legally admitted into Europe on a visa that has a duration of one year or more.
If you arrived in Europe illegally, you will have to return to your home country to apply for Canadian permanent residence from there.

If you have a strong asylum claim in Europe, better to stay there and obtain a legal status than move at this time.

i"ll advise you to obtain your legal status first before you even think of making any move.Going back to niger to aply will do you no good.i just finished my first year MBA programe here in warsaw Poland and i am thinking of continuing my education in canada with my transcrpt obtained from here combined with my first degree result obtained from nigeria.As a result, i have been to the Canadian and Australian Emabssy in the last couple of weeks,the the first question they asked me was that "do i live legally here in poland"?.

BY the way, which country in Europe do you reside? if its a non-english speaking nation just like poland"(my opinion), your chances of getting the visa is very bright(though i really dont know much about english speaking european nations), this is as result of the fact that the canadian the embassy here in poland is not as populated(or should i say do not receive much visitors as often),owing to the fact that the citizens here shy away from speaking the language , English.even when on ocassions when i got there,the people i meet where mainly Asians who could manage to speak a little english.

On the contrary,if you feel getting ur legal status may take time,you could better still aply for a programme in the country where you reside,and the school would assist you in geting a suport letter to aply for legal status, but it all boils down to where you live in europe.

Thanks so much, i reside in an english speaking country, you know 4years, its not a joke, i lost my dad, in that period, unable to go home, my fair is that if i should go how do i comeback, with the situation on hand now, i have all resources to apply for visa in niger to canada, atleast if i could be granted atleast everything will be ok for me. thanks once again
