I am a Canadian Citizen, married to a Nigerian.
My wife is thinking of applying for a masters degree programme in the UK.
I do not want to be away from her as the marriage is still relatively young.

Now that the dependent visa is cancelled, as a Canadian citizen, I am allowed to stay in the UK for 6 months.

Is it possible to search for a job within this 6 months, get an offer and convert my visit to a work visa ?

I do not need a visa to enter the UK as a Canadian citizen.

I work in IT as a Network and Cyber Security Analyst.

Please advise me. Thanks.

This is funny.....

I'm not understanding why ur wife is thinking of UK for a masters degree? Why can't she do masters in the country where u are a citizen and u both won't have worry of residency

Are u sure this wife is thinking of being with you as much as u are thinking of being with her?

Hahaha brotherly, thank you for looking out for me.
Yeah your suggestion would have been the best option, but getting admission for her programme in Canada would not be easy, I have looked through most schools and its just few schools offering her discipline at masters level (agric) .

Also, the admission requirements and visa process seems to be quite hectic since she will be considered an international student compared to the easy process of UK.

I am trying to get her into UK for a graduate programme, then if I can also get a job in the UK, we spend 2 years working and visiting Canada, so crossing to Canada after her programme will be easier that way than crossing from Nigeria considering the little snag we have in the spousal sponsorship I wrote in my previous thread.

I hope that makes sense...Thanks.

A real man should force his position on his wife not change his position for her.

OP na OG Simpson.
