Hello Diaspora Nairalanders,
A friend of mine would be finishing her undergraduate degree next year, but will be proceeding for her Masters degree. She is currently stuck between applying for PR and continuing as a part-time student, or simply applying for an extended study permit.
Here's what we layed it.
Extend study permit: Full time grad student for 2 years, might wait another 3 years before getting citizenship
Apply for PR: Actively start working, take Masters program part-time for 3-4 years, closer to citizenship eligibility.

Or can she do both? Apply for Extended Study Permit and PR? Does anyone have a friend in immigration office and can offer some advice.
Thank you

There is absolutely no basis to compare a PR and a student visa/permit.
If your friend is in a position to apply for a PR which gives him or her all the rights of a citizen apart from voting, including having to pay lower tuition whether it is for a part time or full time study, why the hell will he/she even think of applying for student permit?

Apply for a PR, it's a better option for u and ur family. Am looking at coming there or go to the UK to do Nursing. Been trying to be ur friend but u have never noticed me. I even sent u an email...
Meanwhile there is absolutely nothing wrong with u. In all ur just being a human. Love to be ur friend. Cheers.
