that's why you don't just get ee... You must someone with a reasonable working experience, in most cases married and also have some cash is very unlikely to run away..... These people know their jobs more than us..... Thats the main reason why they don't run visa lottery

SamReinvented:


Sighs....thank God that you exist! Apparently, people here believe, everyone on a visa thread automatically wants to "escape Nigeria". I've seen someone here accuse another person of lying, just because the user said, he is only interested in the Canadian education.

I know Nigerians generally have bandwagon mentality, but there's really a lot more you can achieve with a good Canadian MSC/PhD, than just living permanently in Canada. There are multinational companies in Nigeria, Canada and across the world that can give you the expatriate living, especially if you are armed with essential skills, along with your international education. Also, if you have the essential skills, you can easily own a conglomerate in Nigeria. The competition doesn't even exist, as we have very few large local companies. Opportunities abound for success in Nigeria. All you need do is, create a business to fix one of the numerous problems that we have. Only that, the professional skills have to be there for you to achieve anything. It's not a coincidence that Nigeria is currently experiencing influx of highly qualified returnees in virtually every sector. Kene Mparu of Film house cinemas resigned as executive director of Odeon cinemas (the largest cinema chain in uk and probably europe) to start out his own cinema chain in Nigeria. Mo Abudu graduated from top schools abroad, but now she's raking in box office figures of her films, and owns one of the biggest TV stations in Africa. SKILL. Nollywood, oil, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, etc are all being bombarded by foreign educated people, and all people on nairaland want is a Canadian PR? People even cancelling their admissions after PR, because they are more attracted to "hustling".... Nawa.

When in the Next ten years, Forbes list is dominated by returnees and IJGBs, Nigerians will come and be complaining about some inexistent imperialism and partiality.

After my visit to Canada this year and I get a good feel of the country, it is possible that I will get my MBA there. But it is majorly because I want the qualification, the education, and most importantly, to boost my competitiveness in the company I work at the moment. Yea, living in Canada is cool and all, but I'm more interested in eventually heading the worldwide operations of the company I work now. My next promotion will have me transferred out of the country anyway.

Canadian PR is very good too, and i'm not even against trying to get one (if you're genuinely qualified), if you really fancy living in Canada or even just for the sake of it. It is also an important decision, if you want to get jobs in Canadian companies operating in areas of your interest, so you can build your professional skills. Canadian PR is not bad at all, but I just want to clarify that, living in canada all the rest of your life is not the only vision to a "better life". And seriously, if you find it hard to compete against the overwhelmingly half baked people all over Nigeria, I doubt you'll find it easier living in Canada or any other developed country; largely filled with highly qualified people, and there's stiff competition everywhere. Well, except you want to go to Canada just for the spectacle. You know, to count the speed trains and assess the beautiful boulevards, and hitech buildings .

No one should get me wrong this time, cos I still won't give replies to expantiate or explain my points. A word is enough, they say.

taiwo92:
@Mcowubaba thank you very much. but what I want to know is after paying I want to know the required document that they will ask.

jummolami:
Good day everyone. I just got an offer from Wilfred Laurie university. I want to start my online application for study permit.
I just want to clarify what" medical upfront" means.
I got offer for master Business Economics. I have first class in Economics(2011).

Thank you all.

Who told you that everyone that wants to go to Canada is doing so for the sake of "hustling"? Fallacy of hasty and ignorant generalisation. It's fine that you want to come back to develop your country. That is what you want to do, allow other forum members do what they want to do without making them feel like they are doing something wrong. Lots of people will rather live in a country like Canada with clean air, peaceful environment, constant power supply, sane political system to the reasons you pointed out for wanting to return to Nigeria. I know lots of people here who have gotten well paying jobs in Canada. Live and let live. Don't choke us with your own ideas.

Mcowubaba:

Congrats on your admission

Upfront Medicals simply means doing your Medicals before you are asked to submit it.

While the 2nd option is to wait for a mail from the Canadian Embassy, requesting you to submit a medical report.

Disadvantage of Upfront medicals is that, if you're denied Visa, your money is gone.

Most times, when Canada Embassy sends you a mail to submit your medicals, it's most likely that the are positively considering your Application.

Also note, there are APPROVED hospitals/clinics for this.
Below are a few, some are cheaper than the others.

judebebo32:


I would suggest you apply for masters in Banking/finance related course, all you have to do is to explain why you decided to switch from Bachelors in Animal science to work in a bank. I think the VO would fancy Masters in Banking/Finance as a route to career progression.

Eraytee:

My. Advice for u, considering your years of experience in the banking sector, if u can get MBA/M.sc in Finance, it would be better, then fine tune your application with a sound SOP letting the VO see why you chose that with respect to your experience in the banking sector. All the best.

As explained by @thesoj.... Worked well for me


Document Scanning Tip
To get very high quality scans at a low file size, scan your document directly into the .tif or .tiff format at 300dpi color (don't convert another format to .tif/tiff, scan directly to .tif/.tiff), then use Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert it to PDF, and then finally distill the document. To distill, first convert the PDF to postscript [.ps], and then open the .ps file using Adobe Distiller; Distiller will ask you for the distill quality, choose the “Standard” option. The final PDF file size will shrink considerably but the quality will be super high!

Sugaro:

Pls i got stuck at the point of Adobe acrobat pro. How do I deal with that? I tried downloading it buh I couldn't
2)pls can I just zip the file and upload, Is it acceptable?

elimsme:







Your response is uncallled for, it is just a vain confrontation. To my way of thinking, the man only gave his candid opinion, which is not wrong. If you have something else to say, you can always post that differently...

And you said he generalised, if he did, then you probably did the same too by trying to speak for everyone, cuz I dont feel choked by his post the way you do...

Please, Please and Please. we are here to help one another and we are very dynamic beings, so we cant feel the same way abt stuffs. My dear brothers and sister, lets try to avoid vain confrontation like dis, expecially when the case is past and forgotten....



Thank You

Vain confrontation? Really? What is vain about me telling him not to choke us with how he sees things? Looks like you just woke up, saw the word " vain confrontation" and decided to use it illogically.

maziude:


No, you cant zip.

There is this site i used to reduce my documents. I will search for it and send to you tomorrow when i get to school. If you can wait till then.
