No offense but your said research is outdated

Germany block account isn’t €8640 anymore, it’s now € 10,332

A little back story.
I am a 36 YO guy with no university certificate, was too wayward to finish school in FUTO then, left school in my 2nd year for a 4 year course.

Tried my hands on business years later and currently have 7M naira saved.
Now, I want to go for degree and eventually start a family .
I am considering seeking admission in a UK or Canadian school. Luckily, I have sponsors .

For a guy of my age , looking to study IT related course or physiotherapy and eventually seeking residency, would you recommend UK or Canada?
Please I need supported answers.

Thank you all.

With that amount of money you have, you can comfortably process an educational visa to German including the €8640 you need blocked for visa application, transportation, applications etc., without even needing money from sponsors and you'll still have more than $3000 remaining to travel with.

German education is free, you'll only be paying about €150 or so per semester as student union fee depending on the university.

For the blocked €8640, the Government pays you back €720 monthly (12 months total - 720 x 12= €8640) for your upkeep. They do that so you have what to rely on for your monthly food, rent, transportation etc. They don't want you to become a nuisance to the society and the Government. In one year you should be able to secure a job and live your life easily.

To learn German language you can download and use an app called Duolingo.

I am not an Immigration Agent, I only know about this because I had done my research. You can search online too to confirm. You don't need to call me for help as well because I have given what I have with my comment.

Best of luck.


Thank you , grateful for your input

7m is okay for him for a 4-year major in the UK? Are you crazy?

perry247:


Germany is also another option due to their tuition free educational system and its quite easier than the UK

Search for Dr. Linda Iheme on youtube or instagram.

Age plays a key role in admission in foreign school ,except those ones looking for money.even some embassy will find it difficult that one really wants to go for bachelor at 36. It's possible any way, it's one thing to study abroad, it's another thing to get good job, at a particular age . If your motive is to leave naija, don't invest that money in education, u may think of short courses in I.T in some small European countries and then migrate later to bigger countries for job.all better still , learn I.T in naija and apply for jobs abroad

Please how to invest 5m to make 20m


Put me through

If you are book smart then you can choose any of the medical Fields but if you're not IT related will do and preferably Canada. You're more oppotuned to make it in Canada more than USA. My brother who is a level 2 RN Anesthesia in Canada earns $12k monthly but in USA it's about 10k

Billyonaire666:
Use 7m to buy a farmland.

Stop going broad cos UK and Canadian citizens do not come here to live.

Morons everywhere.

Thank you, you know your onions

@OP:

If you could save N7m via a business in Nigeria, you should be able to replicate that.

36 yrs old IMHO is too old to travel out to start a first degree and searching for a job thereafter.

If you want to go back to school, look for a Nigerian part time or online course in your field of interest so you can keep doing your business to sponsor yourself through school.

You can even reach out to Covenant University and Co if you are particular about your institution.

You can go for your masters later when you have a continuous source of income that can sponsor you.

I know of a man who came from South Africa (Indian parents) to Canada with Chemistry degree.

After years of teaching and being a citizen, he started a medical degree (he was almost 40). Went from $70,000 a yr to $150,000 starting salary.

It is never too late.

3 of the guy's 4 kids are now doctors as well, specialists too.

ec0malchemist:


lol, getting into US ain't easy as it seems at that age.

Plus how does one go about the auto mechanic craftsmanship when he gets there ?

bukatyne:


@bold is your answer.

Your example was a citizen, could work legally, earn big and support himself.

He was not starting afresh; he just changed his career path in a society he has mastered.

Kanayo o. Kanayo just finished his Legal studies in Nigeria; Dangote can decide to read medicine today if he fancies it and earn from it.

OP would not have that luxury abroad. He is at the stage your friend was 10 - 15 years earlier.

Does the OP have that time without a regular/stable source of good income?

To process Canada....how do I go about the IELTS exam

Billyonaire666:


No comfortable Nigerian likes to live abroad.

cooooooks:
Lol. False.

Pretty much all the comfortable and rich people I know are either trying to get permanent papers or sending their kids abroad.

Super rich people already have citizenship in various counties in case.

A British company that arranges special visas and diplomatic passports from smaller countries saw their Nigerian market balloon last year during Covid.

Billyonaire666:


You seem to have a problem understanding what I wrote. I want to repeat what I wrote 'No comfortable Nigerian LIVES abroad'.

Does not mean you do not have houses or resident permits or alternative citizens in case the human zoo gets into uncontrollable entropy.

But living abroad is not really for a Nigerian who can afford to live like a King with just a million naira when that amount can not pay a comfortable rent abroad.

When you become comfortable and travel abroad, you will understand. Until then, keep struggling, some how, if the Fulanis let you live, you might get my message.

Lol. I'm not in Naija.

What is the point of defaulting to insults?

Also, your comfortable people disappear from Nigeria whenever they are sick, tired, etc. Most of their money is also sent outside of Nigeria.

So what is the point of having them in Nigeria? Nigeria does not benefit from their living there.

Billyonaire666:


You are not yet comfortable yet. some of us own assets abroad and only travel to come and fucck some bitches and escape the resonant frequency of known environments.

[s]By the way, those diasporans do not really send much money, most of the diasporan cash coming into this country are proceeds of yahoo yahoo and drugs.[/s]

Be guided.

You don't know what you're saying.

My reply is not aimed at you but just to set the record straight. Feel free to not respond.

The NBS, among other stat bodies, have shown that we are in fact dependent on remittances.

Remittances are the largest source of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) in Nigeria and in most African & developing countries.

As for 'fuccking b*tches', I can confirm that a lot of guys do that. December is the time for IJGB to steal abi rent your gf.

tensazangetsu20:


Stop replying him. There are so many of them on nairaland trying tooth and nail to convince people that the world's poverty capital, a country where 50 percent of its population live on less than 2 usd a day is better than everywhere else. Lol. I am not a western citizen but I have gained more from the west than Nigeria has given me. I earn close to a figure he quoted but I am working day and night to escape from here.
