Travel › Re: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Worker Program - Connect Here Part 11 by aestake: 2:31am On Jul 06, 2025
Or Nigeria gets better leadership!
GraciousWords:
This is my old mantra but still relevant in the changing landscape.

Federal government and the Provinces are quarreling....kind of - result is a few PNP draws with less than 1,000 being called at each draw.

Canada is a very compassionate country... honestly..... so they are trying to accommodate CECs as much as possible - result is a few more CEC draws compared to General.

Even CBDs draws have been few and far between.

The largest consistent draws over the last 2 years with the lowest CRS score have been the French draws.

My advice remains - bite the bullet & learn French (additional CRS points wise and money wise) - not easy at all but it's the most rationale choice now if you look at the options coldly.

With French you'll still be ahead in 2 years time than someone who went to Canada as a student and completed a 1 or 2 yr degree, has 1 year Canadian work experience (CRS grid facts) and you'll spend far far far FAR less money - student POF (excluding tuition & travel fees) is no joke.

There's always the chance of a miracle but prepare like there's none on the horizon. Stay hopeful, pray that the odds will favour you more often than not, but please do the needful.

#Learn French

#YouCanDoIt

Life is indeed beautiful here, sometimes stressful if you have young children and very expensive!

PS: I'm not a French tutor, but there are a few options that others have used over the years on the TEF thread...link here:

Iran is standing up against aggression with courage and conviction. Every nation has the right to defend its sovereignty and respond to injustice. This is not just retaliation — it's a message: oppression will not go unanswered.

Israel is finally looking like Gaza
They forced their way into Iran o. No forget.

Focusmind:
All these people saying he should come back home are just jealous that the guy is running a PHD in the States. Come back home to do what, exactly? If you think that the guy has any intention of coming back home, you are dreaming. He is a research student, which is a STEM program. Nigeria is not for him. He may even struggle to get a teaching job in a polytechnic without connection. However, if he is found guilty of identity theft or any crime, he should be deported. I hate it when Nigerians go abroad and starts committing crime.
But na him tribe man dey rule Nigeria. How that one take bad?

Yes Nigeria is a crime scene but you need to have your brain chkd if you have to always wrap everything around politics. The criminal who did this might be a Labour Party member. But it's share stupeedity if this is how we reason. This is a clear case of rape and eventual homicide. And I think it's lazy of people to post things like this with incomplete information.
The govt should get the killer then. What?

Victorodehankel:
The attacks are in very remote areas mostly without good roads, telecom facilities and light, most of the people here are just poor peasant farmers the herders are obviously on a mission to take over their land but unfortunately the system that should protect them have failed them, there is a ban on open grazing in the state so what are the herders doing in the forest ? is there a country where its citizens are killed in their homes daily in such a manner without repercussion on the assailants and we all carry on like all is okay? The worst that will happen is to allow people to be pushed to the extent of taking up arms to defend themselves, we are sitting on a ticking time bomb.
One Nigeria, igbo man must not rule.

Hey guys, one of my friends' parents got "come to embassy to have your fingerprints taken" in two weeks' time. However, this was done last February and they had to fly to Lagos from Abuja 4 times in the course of this process. Everyone is tired of this dribbling.

I told my friend to respond with an email. He has done so with these email addresses: LagosIV@state.gov and nigeria@usvisaappt.

Any other email address?
The couple got the visas, traveling in 3 weeks before the visa expiration is short.

The other of my friend's brother has no movement; family of 5. The USC brother had sued everyone. Way to go!
