Travel / Re: Nigerians Abroad. Share Your Experience With Racism And Discrimination by ayandee: 5:28pm On Sep 21, 2023 |
I will share a bit of what i have discovered in my short stay here in Canada. Whites are very accepting of you as a black provided you stay within certain defined limits that exists in their subconscious minds. They are very ok with you working as a clerk, an entry-level officer in a bank or in a government agency or working as a support or care giver. They start rolling their eyes when you start breaking borders and moving into more traditional, professional roles which they consider their enclaves e.g being a lawyer or getting into management. You need to wear a thick skin at that level. With black medical doctors and nurses though, they really don't have a choice. Same goes with IT. There's a shortage of professionals in those fields. I call them the "colour blind" professions. With time, determination, a positive outlook, and having the right qualifications and skills, I find it's easier to break through those racial barriers than the nepotism and tribalism that exist in Nigeria. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Canada's social security system for children from low-income families and seniors from age 65 is one of the best in the world. Working with the agencies delivering benefits has broadened my understanding of the values and ideologies underlying the Canadian system. It's based entirely on empathy for vulnerable people (children, disabled people, widows, orphans, and old people from age 65). The social safety net for these groups are very strong. A 65 year old with no other income at old age who has lived all his life in Canada would get almost 2000 CAD monthly to take care of himself. If they miss their cheque in the mail, another must be re-issued immediately so they dont lack money. We trust they will return the duplicate because they will. Their mortgages are paid off already at that age. It's the reason they live very long and it's the reason the working class is taxed. It's a wheel that revolves. So, it's not all about how much one person is able to accumulate in their bank account. It's better to live in a society where taxes are put to good to use. 3 Likes |

Trendy101:Congratulations. IRCC won't be concerned about pregnancy and you wont be the first to study while pregnant. Since your delivery date is April, you still have 4months from resumption to plan for child delivery. What's your support system in Canada like? Do you have family members here who can help you with the baby? Is your spouse coming with you? What's your financial situation? These are questions that determine whether a deferral would be necessary 2 Likes |

Where a relative (a brother) has paid fees directly to the institution but the applicant is selling her own land to raise proof of funds, what documents does she need to show for study visa application? The brother is only helping with tuition, nothing more. |

Education / Re: What Is The Most Useless Certificate You Have Ever Gotten? by ayandee: 1:22pm On Aug 16, 2023 |
Oyindamolah: You are right. A university degree simply means you are diligent enough to show up in a university consistently for 4 or 5 years. It tells the employer that you will show up consistently for work. Degrees are based on a gradient. A first class means you have the ability to be thorough and committed. A 2.1 means you will always put in your best efforts. A 2.2 means you can be trained. 2 Likes |

Religion / Re: Pastor Taiwo Odukoya Is Dead by ayandee: 7:01pm On Aug 08, 2023 |
My husband got his first job after NYSC through a career fair Pastor Odukoya organized in his church. My husband never attended his church and just got info about the fair from a friend. The fair was made open to the public and a lot of companies came and recruited people. He was happy to have that job at that time. I wish churches could have more of that. Rest in Peace Pastor Odukoya. You've touched lives in very special ways. 5 Likes |

Crime / Re: Pastor At Kidnapped US Girl's Funeral In 1975 Charged With Her Murder by ayandee: 5:40pm On Jul 27, 2023 |
In the 1970s, there was huge respect for pastors and religious leaders so they got away with a lot of things. I guess that was why the police didn't press further. When they interrogated him and he denied seeing her, they just took his words for it. If it was today, they would have probed further. 1 Like |

Alejo2000: You don't have to go to Canada via study route. Like someone advised, learn French aggressively for one year. I mean learn it like your whole life depends on it. Attend french classes, listen to French people talk, speak French and become very comfortable with it. Depending on how much progress you have made studying, you can go to Togo or other francophone countries for 2 months for language immersion. Then write TCF canada or TEF Canada. You will spend money learning This was what I did. I didn't go to Togo though. This way, you can preserve your 20million and use it for proof of funds when you get invited to apply for Canada PR. Join the Canada TEF thread and the express entry thread in travel section. If you are considering this route: 1. Find out if you are eligible for FSW on Canada dot ca using good ielts score plus B2 french. If you have a masters already, that will be a plus. 2. If you are eligible, apply for credential evaluation with WES Canada. 3. Start your French journey and while at it, write ielts general. 4. With your language scores and WES report, create an express entry profile. When you get invited, apply for PR. Not an easy route but it's doable. 5 Likes 1 Share |
