Not in my city, but many cities now offer citywide free WiFi.

Naija which was forward? When?

Hope the cold weather didn't affect you too much. If you ever make it out to the West Coast, my Wife and I are near Los Angeles.

Getbizzzy:


But how did the man that sought for asylum get there (Canada)?

guiddoti:
You asked for proof, here is it. no stop! haha
That guy is a lawyer, I guess.

EgunMogaji:


I asked for proof of asylum being granted based on sexual preference. It hasn't been provided.

Congrats bro. Going through dis your thread and d pix actually made me drool. The Lord that changed your status will change mine too very soon. This country Nigeria has no plan for the youths nor d masses. Na d fastest way to leave dey hunger me. We keep hoping it will get better but it keeps getting worse. Ppl keep saying no place like home but in the real sense to me, home is where joy is and where people can boast of a comfortable life whether abroad or local. Home is where the life of the citizens are more important than anything. Home is where an average citizen can afford 3 square meals per day. Home is where security is well guaranteed. Home is where there is no huge discrepancy between the rich and the poor. Home is where our resources and funds are not being embezzled by our corrupt leaders . Home is where there are job provisions for graduates. HOME is where there is HOPE!! Home is, home is, home is, home is.................. ABROAD

FrankNetter:


My brother, that's just the truth. The DSTV own is just funny. The cable we use here is xfinity, the wifi speed is bloody, unlimited channels, Netflix and it comes with a remote that you search for tv channels or programs just by speaking into the remote.

Guy!

FrankNetter:
Good news guys, my permanent residency card just arrived in the mail.

Happiness is too mild an adjective to describe how I feel right now,



Do you know what this entails?

This means the level of success I would attain in this country is directly proportional to the level of hardwork I put in. Nothing can dampen my enthusiasm for life at this moment. The sky is not just my limit, it's my stepping stone.

The Mr. Oliver came out as a homosexual in 2005. While on a visit to the US in 2012 for an AIDS conference, he decided to apply for asylum. A few months later, he was granted asylum.

Congrats bro. Everything is happening so fast. You are greatly favoured.

Yeah man, it appears so. That's why I just laugh at those trying to come here and throw shade at me.

Your relative has not disclosed to you exactly how he got the green card. Definitely not based on his masters! Unless may be the masters is a very rare one and there is a need for people with that particular masters. I just can't imagine that's the case.

First of all congrats on the verge of getting your PR. But just an advice. JUST FOCUS ON OFFICIALLY GETTING YOUR PR. Once you get it then we can go from there. You're trying to run before crawling, that's very dangerous when dealing with immigration issues. But I still need more info. Is it a provincial sponsor PR where you'll have to stay in that province (state) for x amount of years ? If so cool down and do your time. If not, you can always message me. 72-100k per year up here in the oilfields is chump change. Cleaners who are illierate get that. I can always direct you to job postings. All you have to do is get certain oilsand safety certificate which takes a day. Take a look at the link below. One of the Ghana lady I know on site who's like 50 years old, said if you join this union, you'll be set as they'll post up up north on camp. All she does is throw out the garbage and put the plates in the dish washer. She literally does nothing as I always see her sitting down and watching TV. She clears/takes home 6k dollars every month after tax without overtime. The link also shows you the certificates you need.


On a side note stop being selfish. Why don't you explain to the people how your experience has been since coming to Canada and being on the verge of getting your PR. Is the government immigrant friendly like they've been advertising ? Do you think you made a good decision coming to Canada oppose to US/UK, etc. Talk to us.

Thanks for the explicit response bro! I actually intend givung both the Pnp and Express Entry a shot, so whichever click...
My experience so far has been fair enough! Considering my heavy workload...Their course curriculum here is very intense, and it is structured to make one think critically...I basically had little or no time to juggle jobs with my coursework during my first two semesters...However, during the last summer I had to maximize my working time and finances, i must have made about $13k during the 4 months working about 64 hours per week...It wasn't easy though! All went down into paying some portion of the tuition, books and the recursive bills...

People here are very friendly, and they're always willing to help especially the elderly ones...For me, canada is the best place to be for now in several aspect. The advantages over the likes of UK and US is just too numerous to mention....I was actually considering the US prior to my coming, but after doing my homework I got to realize Canada represents a more viable investment, with the chances of securing stay upon graduation almost guaranteed coupled with affordable tuition...I was basically discouraging a friend that was bent on studying in the UK, have never been a fan of the the UK though...

Overall, I would say it worth all the effort of long visa processing and competitive University admissions....The quality of teaching, the standard of living, and the very many opportunities it offers is just too good...I will encourage anyone with intention of schooling abroad to give Canada a shot, you just can't go wrong...It is liken to a win-win scenario...But the cold here na die, it is like living inside deep freezer for 6 consecutive months...
Sorry for any typos!

Welcome to Canada.

Which Province/City are you in ? Thanks for confirming everything I've been telling people for some time now. Why people pick the US or UK before Canada is beyond me. Both countries international fees are easily 50 percent more than a Canadian school, and you'll be most likely told to leave after graduation. Then you go back to naija with all that money spent on international fees, just to sit down at home and be unemployed. I too have told many to come to Canada, only to be ignored. Years later and a deportation notice from the home office or US immigration, they're now back in naija applying as a skilled worker to try to enter Canada lol. You'll get a 3 year work visa since you graduated from a Canadian University. Ask people with experience or hire an immigration lawyer to help certify that PR card. That should be your sole focus as that'll guarantee you citizenship. Forget the oilfields for now. DO NOT leave Canada until you get that card. As for the weather, you'll become acclimatize. And once you buy a car, you'll be driving around in a warm car, you won't even notice/care about the cold. So you made 13k or 3.1 million naira in 4 months. Why didn't you leave Canada, go to Ajegunle, and buy a house outright ? Why stay here and suffer ?

The ignorance Africans have when it comes to credit is pathetic. Well said. I work in the oilfields with other igbos. I know some who used credit and bought several condos. There monthly payments are 700 dollars per month for each unit (The man owns 3), but charges and gets 1300 per month. That's a 600 dollar profit each month per unit. Times that by 3, that's 1800 dollars per month for doing absolutely nothing. He now takes that 1800 and pays 1500 dollars per month towards his own house which his family lives in. That leaves him with 300 dollars to pay the utilities and property tax. So he's paying nothing per month for 3 condo units and his house. Now to mention those property must have appreciated in value significantly all those years.

If you graduated as a professional in the US, you can apply for H1 visa while you are there and work your way to citizenship. Even if you are a professional from Nigeria, in as much as you have already set your foot on US soil, you can apply and get your H1 based on your profession even before you write exams to get license to practice.

Not yet. I'm only a student of the law, for now.

ttmacoy:
Not technically correct, you cannot apply for H1 visa, you have to get employed by a company who them applies for a H1 visa for you or it is the employer who applies for you not just you finish studies and apply or land in America and apply.

falopey:


I personally know someone that came to the state last year. He got his H1 without working for any company. He was a professional in Nigeria iin the medical field. In fact he is just preparing to take the exam to get his license to practice. Maybe there is more to his story. But I'm 100% sure of is that he was not working for any company to get it for him. In fact, he doesn't have the license to practice yet.
