You would need to find a job in one of the sectors the government has identified as a priority category.

I don’t know your skill set or what you are best suited for that part is entirely up to you, boss

Please someone should help me. I applied for police character certificate online, paid everything. I have not gotten any information from the police.

penitential:
Please for police clearance in Nigeria, will
Biometric be required at SCID?

It will.

olasubomy:
See Link here: https://possap.gov.ng/p/signup

Register here(link above) to apply for the Police Character Certificate. It would require your NIN or BVN. Once it is ready, the digital copy stamped by Central Criminal Registry would be sent to your email.

After paying I have not heard anything from Nigeria police o

Albertone:
I appreciate you. I feel encouraged right now.

Lastly, do you advise professional masters or research-based masters? I read that research-based can help with tuition fees, that’ll be a huge relief for me.
But still, I’m not sure which is most preferable.

Choose research if;
You want funding or lower cost
You’re okay with research work
You may do a PhD
You have a strong academic background

But know that research takes extra time and harder to get admission.

Choose course-based if;
You want to finish fast
You just want a job after graduation
You don’t like research
You can afford tuition

Albertone:
Good! It’s just that AI is making me scared of tech as many jobs are getting done by AI now.

Thank you very much.

So which job do you want to do that AI cannot do? AI is there to make working easy and not to takeover any job.
Imagine you do 'Business Analytics and AI' as a course, you'd be most preferred for a job.

Albertone:
Thanks a lot.

Please considering my non-STEM major, BSc Business Administration, what kind of jobs will I be accessible to me in Canada?

Do Business Analytics. Try and draft towards tech. Because in Canada people in Tech, Social Work and Health have more chances

what are you talking about I do not help anyone apply for visa Do it yourself do not use any agent

HAhaha. Drop the list of licesened agents na. Na me go humble you for this forum.

Yokoyama:
evidence or proof to show you're legit please

I want to apply for Canada visa

dont give anyone ur money o. he will post some agents here for u. run. DO-IT-YOURSELF

Oga don post him agents again

amnotapervert:
Agent for admission? 😂

Who’s still using agents to get admission in 2026?

And when exactly did I ever encourage anyone to use one?

Admission and visa applications are two completely different things but you keep bringing up misleading argument

I am a do-it-yourself person, but if you must use an agent for visa processing, please use a licensed one. https://register.college-ic.ca/Public-Register-EN/RCIC_Search.aspx

Nigeria only has only 7 licensed consultans, and anyone outside that list is not legitimate but I guess that’s too much for you to understand.

I have consistently spoken out against fake Facebook agents, especially those on Facebook, and the damage they cause people end up with 5-year bans because of them.

I tried to be friendly with you, but it seems like your visa rejections are affecting you. I am not your problem

At this point, it just feels like you are projecting your frustration. 😂

amnotapervert:
Hahahahahah hahahahahahaha an exception is not the regular case well what do I know about anything

You know not everyone from Nigeria came the same way you did.

I came with my full rent it was cheap ($400/ Month) in 2017/2018 for two years and my school fees paid for two years, so I only needed to work after school.

and the money I made from working was used to buy my first car cash after school when I got my first Job

I also had a brother and a sister who were both working full-time In Toronto before I finished school.

I understand that this isn’t the reality for most people, but still…believe anything you want to believe

Stay in your lane. Your lane is agency. You no nothing about work in Canada. lol

amnotapervert:
It seems like the lack of approval and multiple visa rejections, despite having eight admissions, is really getting to your Brain. I will pray for you

It's now 10 admissions. Mostly from Ontario and Nova Scotia. No agent o.

No need

Mrdos:
Do I need or I don’t need . Please I don’t understand what you wrote there

Predator188:
I've seen too but in a 90 minutes football match!!

My comment wasn't for you and you can make your point without quoting me. Thanks

amnotapervert:
If you are coming to Canada, please do not be discouraged. The main thing to keep in mind is that nothing ( work and PR) is guaranteed or promised. Having low expectations is the key to staying realistic and happy. You should also understand that you need to plan your life after school even before you start applying for admission.

Think about which province you will stay in, what type of job you can get after school, and whether the school you are applying to is registered as a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) so that you can be eligible for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

Consider how many points you might have after studying and working in Canada and whether that is enough for you to qualify for permanent residency. Check if your course and job fall into categories that make it easier to get PR

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/rounds-invitations/category-based-selection.html

You need to know all this before you even apply for a school.

Also, think about whether your course can lead to a job in the province you are targeting, and whether it could help you qualify for a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) after studying and working there.

Remember: immigration rules are always changing, and nothing is guaranteed. Planning carefully and being realistic is essential.

I was expecting you to drop your agent contacts after this. Mr Agency.

Mrdos:
Good evening house . Thank you for all the good works and may God bless everyone in the house trying to support each other . I want to ask some questions . I applied for a one year course . The school have sent all the documents I need . I own a company which I operate myself.. . My school fee is 21kcad and living expenses is 23k total 44kcad .in Naira it should be. 44m. But I have 55m .49m in my company account and 6m in my personal account . I’ve a sister in Uk which I can ask for her bank statement for sponsorship. My question is , do I need to add a sponsorship or I’m good with the 55m. I will be waiting for your response house .. God bless ..

Do need for sponsor.

amnotapervert:
Who said you wouldnot get a job?
But that job will only cover your rent, food, transportation, phone bills, etc......not your school fees

I have seen a student pay her fees and even bought a car while studying.

dsureguy:
He won't. The GIC account will only hold 22,895 CAD. The remaining money will be in your normal account, which is accessible to you when you get to CA and have a student permit.

God forbid admission doesn't come through, the bank will return the money the same way it came plus interest.

He said he puts 40k CAD in the GIC acct. If na true say he put 40k CAD in GIC and his tuition is in that 40k CAD, oyo na him be him case

Predator188:
So which city is cheap in ontario

Ontario has big cities like Toronto and the likes. No big city is cheap anywhere in the world.
What I was trying to say is that Ontario is a province not a city.

Predator188:
I know 3 single students who paid their school fees with part time jobs, full time when college is on brake...
But this students did only 1 year college program 18k tuition fees ,house rent of about 500 for one room apartment per month..
2 have completed the course working in demand occupation and already got pgwp waiting for ita in pnp nominations...
The other one has manuerverd her way to pnp nominations and have applied for permanent residence she is healthcare practioner back home..she pay upto 1k for 2 rooms apartment but rent the other room out..

The problem is when students apply for 3 to 4 year program in big expensive cities like ontario and expecting to pay tuition fees with part time jobs .

However I know other student who couldn't get a job or even pay tuition fees with part time jobs or maintain the study permit and they dropped out..

Ontario is a province not a city.

amnotapervert:
where is it possible ?

stop discouraging people on this forum. Na because people no patronize ur agents.

@coolflame7 have money that will take care of your feeding and housing for the first 3 months. from the 4th month you should get a job unless you are lazy and can't network.

amnotapervert:
When you say that, they will respond, But I know a girl whose brother was able to do that Then they will say you are not sharp enough.. or you no sabi anything hahahahahahah

You will get a job within the first few months if you can network.

I just applied mine today

Timibankz:
No bro. I also want to obtain it. Planning on renewing my passport that is why i haven't applied for it yet.

amnotapervert:
Is it realistically possible to work while in Canada and pay up the remaining tuition. No

I wanted to explain this properly with numbers, facts, and even links if needed showing how many hours you are legally allowed to work, how much you actually earn after taxes, and the reality of expenses. I could even break down the math.

But honestly, I don’t bother anymore.

No matter what you say, someone will always respond with, I have a friend who paid over CAD 40,000 for their program just by working while studying in Canada At that point, I just laugh and tell them to do whatever they want.

People have called me a Madman because what I say but at the end of the day it all makes sense

The truth is, many people think they know better, and I don’t sugarcoat facts to protect feelings. When you actually look at the numbers, they simply don’t add up.

At the end of the day, it’s not realistically possible to fully pay your school fees just by working while studying.

you can pay rent you can pay phone bill you can pay for food but you see that your school fees you can not...........

All the best.

Always here to discourage people. The other member you were telling him to tell his sister to book the next ticket to MMA1.

@coolflame7 yes you can work to pay your tuition fee if;
1. you are not the lavishing type.
2. you work multiple jobs
3. You utilize the holidays (students work full time during holidays/breaks)
4. you have a special skill or services u can render within and outside the school campus for a fee

Chigbo55:
I have opened TD GIC for Proof of Funds from Nigeria, sent the details to my in-law in Canada to fund it and he has funded it with $40kCAD, my sister his wife supposed to be my sponsor since we bear the same surname but unfortunately she recently came to Canada and hasn't gotten her work permit(she's not working). My tuition fee is $28k, my sis has paid10k deposit already from her account. How will I prove relationship with this my in-law since we are not related by blood. He his ever willing to sponsor me.

I hope you didn't put the remaining part of your tuition fee in the GIC else you will regret it.

Timibankz:
Hello bro, I also tried it earlier and i faced the same issue.

But as at now i just tried it and it worked (17-03-2026 03:28 AM), so i am guessing it's just a server issue. Maybe you can also try at midnight too

thanks.. do you know how long it will take to get the police clearance?

Victory662:
I recently bought a Toyota Corolla 2005 model, Nigerian used. Since then I've had this constant problem of hard starting. It's not very bad though, it picks after second or third kick, although in some cases it could be worse prompting my battery to run down.

I have explained the issue to about 4 mechanics, each of them telling me what they suspected could be the cause, I paid them and at the end of the day, nothing changed. I've spent over 300k on this very issue.

The only option I'm considering now is that of the latest mechanic that told me it could be fuel pump system pressure or electrical fault or both. I'm just afraid of spending money again because I'm already afraid it may not work.
So NL family, have your car ever had this "spiritual hard starting" problem? And how did u get out of it?

Change the complete fuel pump housing and you hare good to go. I experienced it with my Corolla '07

olasubomy:
I gave it a test myself, and you are absolutely right—it just keeps rolling and eventually stops. It does seem like there might be a system glitch. My suggestion would be to wait a bit and try again later, as these things sometimes resolve themselves. Alternatively, you could post your concern on the Express Entry thread; there’s a good chance someone who has faced a similar issue—and found a solution—will chime in with helpful advice.

I remember the system used to give both "BVN" and "NIN" as options, but now it looks like only "NIN" is available. If you don’t get responses on the thread and you need to sort this out urgently, your final option might be to visit the Alagbon CID office in person. Hopefully, though, it won’t come to that, and you will be able to resolve everything online, which would definitely save you both time and extra expenses.

pls can i have a link to the express entry thread? thanks
