that proof of funds na blockade for most people, Canada and Australia only wants rich and skilled people. what's the essence of migration if you only need rich and skilled people

ednut1:
less likely to do crime or yahoo. If they take anyhow people without skills how do they fit in or even integrate. Use Malaysia as example yahoo boys took over. For canada own the money part there is way around it. The money is supposed to be in your account so get a relative to gift you

Malaysia don cast- I don't think they give tourist visa,student visa, or permanent residence again to Nigerians

@Rud, Please which country in Europe has prospect for Civil Engineers from Nigeria, or those ones that allow stay after post graduate studies.

Note :The only way is through Msc Scholarship of Ptdf, Commonwealth, Nnpc/Total e.t.c as IELTS is unaffordable.

RuudVanNisteroy:

The countries I know of in Europe are:
United Kingdom which recently changed their policy and stated they will give 2 years post graduate work permit
Netherlands- 12 months post graduate work permit
Germany- 18 months post graduate work permit
Norway- offers 12 month post graduate work permit,
Sweden 6 months post graduate work permit
Finland -6 months postgraduate work permit

My advise is to always go with the country that offers the longest post graduate and that is within your budget. It takes time to find a job in Europe, even if you did several internships.

Forget U.K. o. No matter how you try getting PR is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Brits are very selfish and conny. I have never heard or seen in person that studied in the U.K., and got PR eventually except they married a citizen or some sort.

RuudVanNisteroy:

I know many Nigerians that got their PR after their studies before 2012. You are likely referring to the period when a law was enacted by former Prime Minister Theresa May,which made it impossible for international students to get PR and was kept in place from 2012-2019.

Boris Johnson made a change to the law in 2019 and international students will get 2 year work permits. And hopefully things will return to the glory days before 2012, when majority of Nigerians were able to get jobs and get permanent residency in U.K. As long as you got work experience during your undergraduate or master you were almost guaranteed job after graduation in UK before 2012.

bitter truth. Most are living in past glory. China has stolen most of their markets

RuudVanNisteroy:

What did you graduate in and do you have at least a year's work experience?

Hello RuudVanNisteroy,

Thanks for all you do here on this thread. I would like to ask about the possibility of an individual obtaining a permanent residence permit with a professional job outside his field of study.

That is, would I be granted permanent residence in a country after getting an IT job (e.g Germany), when my Master's course of study is Geophysics?

Thanks in anticipation of your kind response.

ChiefDaddy1:
Hello guys. Please how true is this and can someone cofirm if Nigeria is included?

RuudVanNisteroy:

I know most countries don't require you to get a job in your field. You could have graduated with an Engineering degree and filed for permanent residence with a fast food supervisor position.

What they have is a National Occupational Classification of different job titles that usually required a University degree or Diploma. And as long as you get any job under that classification and you are able to file for permanent residency after a certain time period usually 6 months-12 months.

For example in Canada you can graduate in any degree and as long as you get a job under skill set 0-B under their National Occuptional Classification and work at least 1 year full-time in that job you can file for permanent residence.

If you have one year I.T experience even in a Nigerian bank you are able to file for permanent residence. If you work for a reputable organization it is easier for them to verify your work experience.

Craigbrown4076:
Any similar package for the Netherlands?

RuudVanNisteroy:

Netherlands has similar requirements if your on a student that just graduated or ona work visa :

- you have a 12 month period to find a job that offers you a full-time position or contract for at least 12 months and pays you a minimim amount ehy specify.

- After you you complete the 12 months work requirement you get a Blue Card which is valid pan Europe and given for 33 months. By then after 33 months you should have completed the time living and working in Netherlands to apply for a PR.

Please my CRS is less than 400 points with no chance of going any higher but someone advised me to learn French and become Bilingual that I may get a PNP invite.

Is it true that French can really add some advantage for me?

Kekereekun123:
yes. New Brunswick pnp

It seems you are unaware of the fact that the German route is also open and easy.

One would ask how? Its quite straightforward.

Apply to a Germany university ( Public universities are tuition-free). However, you need a block account(roughly 4.5m) Whether Bsc or MSC once you graduate, you can apply for residence permit which typically last 18 months, once you get a job you can apply for permanent residence. Live there for 8 years and you are eligible to apply for citizenship.

Craigbrown4076:
