It is one thing to get the Canada visa which is a success on its own whether you process the visa yourself or an agency did and it is another thing entirely to make the best use of the visa and respect the terms and conditions to which it was issued. Today, we shall be checking 5 reasons why international students abandon their studies and some of its consequences.

No urge to get the education: Many international student never had the urge to get education most of them sees the visa as the real deal rather a means to escape Nigeria’s hardship; to them, the overall success is the visa approval and nothing else hence they find it easier to abandon their studies to hustle for money. It was thoroughly debated in a forum that high rate of Nigerian’s out-of-schools or who has never been to school in Canada contributed to one of the reason why many Nigerians get refused even when their intent is genuine and it look like their application is perfect.


Having freedom for the first time: This is mostly pertaining to undergraduate students who are probably leaving home for the first time to have their freedom to themselves in a country where there is no parent or guidance to check their excesses. Some of these students make mistakes that can cost them their life, career and future, some of them become so loosed to the extent of becoming pregnant, and have babies, all these happening without the consent of their parents.

Inability to meet the Canadian educational standard: Canada has a very high standard of education; an easy reflection of this is their grading system. Take for instance, while grade “A” in Nigeria start from 70%, in Canada, grade “A” starts from 90%, that is 20% higher than Nigeria’s own. Some international student chickens out when they see their grade falling below average and they are not willing to put up a fight and study harder, they rather consider their current course as difficult and think about alternative which they mostly never worked on. This act is not peculiar to Nigerians alone.


Pressure Group and Social Media: The urge to show off on social media as a big boy/girl, Canadian based who is living large. Many international struggled between the life they left in Nigeria and the one they are currently living within their first few months as an international student who just arrives Canada and this is simply because they attached too much value to money (CAD). This is often time common with students who comes from a rather poor home.

Money: Whenever I have the opportunity to talk to international students either as a group or as private individual, I always lay emphasis on education over money because the first thing they will see when they get to their new destination, it is money they will keep seeing either as hard, soft or “wish currencies”, imagine how enthusiastic someone who has no interest or urge to study will further has more reason to abandon his/her primary assignment of being in the country? Most of the student in this category becomes so rude, violent and very aggressive with the use of word especially when it is evident that they have made some little money, every advice given to them at this point on how to at least get education becomes useless, they will be like “shoo! Make I carry all this money give one school laidat”, the money they made while ignorantly overworking on their SIN abusing the privilege. Many of them won’t realized until it’s late and realized that not getting education or getting improper education has technically defeated and relegated them to a semi-skilled labourer a position of less professional and less required!

Add yours

There are several consequences attracted to not having education or proper education in Canada especially for someone who had entered the country as an international student issued a study permit and some of these consequences we shall be discussing in our future reviews.

Hmmm

Nigeria had 83% student visa rejection for canada student visa applications. Some borrowed money and padded their account. When they get there to pay back and also study is never easy.

You are very correct, also most agency also don't take things easy with their clients, it's not going to be easy for someone who paid 1.5m for an agency service fee and still have to incur flight ticket, accommodation fee etc.

Canada tops the list as the most educated country in the world. According to the OECD over 56 percent of adults in Canada have earned some kind of education after high school.

In addition, the pass mark is the big issue. In some unis/colleges, a pass mark starts at 60% while others have theirs set at 70%. Any mark below the set marks would mean a fail.
Whereas in naija, pass mark is usually set at 40% except things have changed.
