Canada was mentioned only because he has a sibling there and would be nice to be closer to family

Regarding H1b ...not all result to Greencard filing and in suitation like the 2008 recession people lost their jobs and were back to square 1 overnight and unexpectedly so personal h1b doesnt mean much to me or guarantee anything, except when it gets to GC .... some companies file h1b but stop at that and dont file GC . So after years on h1b u are back to square one

Also i know several people who switched from US to Canada and did not earn 40 % less than when they were in USA ... not true for people i know...... .Yes taxes are higher , things are more expensive in CA but for them there was also an assurance that comes with Canada PR path to Citizenship unlike H1b .....

@bolded
You use the word "some" like it's widespread practice and not a complete outlier. Did you ask the employee if there was a breach of company policy? Also, you referred to the year 2008. There was a Global recession and that was a black swan event that forced many firms to go bankrupt leading to the incident you described. That clearly shows a unique atmosphere in that year. Oh and for the record, that recession hit canada harder and was the start of the bleeding of the $Cd and it hasnt recovered since then.

Also, because you know someone doesn't stop a trend neither does it change facts. Facts are sacred. and the following are facts
1. Income/wages are lower in Canada compared to the US
2. Price of consumer goods also higher in Canada.
3. Taxes are also higher.

That being said,
I didn't tell him not to go to Canada, Ultimately it's his decision and family is a cogent one.I find it rather futile to argue online.
I gave him a new perspective on things. It's his ultimate choice but at least he needs to know what he's about to get into.

Information Technology is a STEM program, which means you get 12months OPT, and 17 Months extension. The 17 months extension was increased to r 24months on may 2016. So STEM graduates get a total of 36 months on graduation.

I will definitely apply for the Canadian FSW program, but that would be after I get one year US work experience on graduation.

Clearly you need to do more research.
FSW in Canada and then what? Earn 40% less than your American colleagues with higher taxes? Where are the jobs in Canada to begin with?
It's just as difficult for people in the sciences as well. Look for a way to do what you need to do in the US.
Canada is not an easy way out. There is no easy route in life..

What do you mean by one year post graduation work experience. Your first job will be OPT which is the precursor for H1B which you get when a company decides to file. You want all that to waste away because of FSW? Huh? Who does that? shocked

I noticed you're a fall entrant. These issues shouldn't be prime on your mind, rather study and academic work should be. Nonetheless passive research on this topic would be useful so you make informed decisions.

You still don't know how painful this feels. This past feb 11, I lost my immediate and closest sister who I purposely went to visit and stayed with in Nigeria in December. Two days to my birthday, 10 days to her birthday and just after 2 weeks that we spoke last. Cause: Nothing was diagnosed until she went asystole. Words can't express the excruciating pain I felt and how negative I was to life. I remember driving while crying and ran red light while everyone was looking. I felt like my life should seize instantly. I went to talking to my psychology instructor in school but my emotion got the best of me...... I wept in the class. I will go to bed at 5pm, I won't eat anything but sweet. Still it's sad for me anytime I see her facebook page or listen to our past phone conversations or think about the short time we spent together when I went home.

Imagine someone you called sister, who you lived with, went to junior and senior school with, fought and laughed with, eaten with, spent more than 1/3 of your life with. Someone who you called every time and who's always be there for you, gone. Grieve is extremely painful, it's like an infection causing inflammation of mind (minditis). I still can't stop feeling this pain even as we speak. My positive view of life since then is that I've made it my passion to help others and prevent such sad story.

Take heart my friend.


Accept my sincere condolences.

That is how those so called agents will come and view this thread and be selling open source information to their lazy clients.

Agreatman I repeat do not allow mackivconsult to pay your GRE with credit card again, the next bouncing is likely to earn you a 5 year ban from writing ETS exams, demand that he pays it with Western Union Money order and ask to see a high resolution picture of the money order showing your Name, address and DOB and check out the amount and the name of the organization (Educational Testing Service) it was issued to

Really surprised to hear this.
I used Mack 4 for both my gre and toefl and they were reliable back them.

Maybe economic crisis has made them change their hustle. What a sad change.
I think what's sad is the fact that someone might get a 5 year ban for something he didn't know about. That's essentially a dream killer.

Saw your funny post about UToledo
Funny, I got an admit there with full funding but their stipend was kinda low at 15K so I turned it down.

Fast forward three months later, I met someone who finished with a masters in my field from there and wanted to start a PhD. She was complaining that she wasn't happy with the quality of the instruction she got there.

It's a decent/OK school, but when they start to ask for annoying requirements that clearly exceeds the quality and funding capabilities of the programs offered, it just calls for laughter.

Politics / Re: Senate Considers Climate Change Bill by bbdd: 2:43am On May 06, 2016
NOIBMUUL:


Let me enlighten you.
1. Food: due to the effects of climate change our farms and agricultural systems have become increasingly susceptible with low productivity.

2. Shelter: climate change has made environmental refugees of people especially those staying in fragile and hostile areas e.g. areas prone to flooding, erosion, desertification

3. Security: of course the recent fulani n local people clash is a classic example of competition for limited viable grazing area. Once upon a time these used to be abundant in the savannahs areas of the north but the effects of climate change has shrunk these areas and made grazing areas scarce in the north. Hence their migration to the south to supoort their herd.

4. General populace: of course, i cant overemphasis how the last few months have been extremely hot even in coastal areas like Lagos, Calabar n PH. Now imagine the north!

I am sure by now you ought to have found a link btw climate change the people.

If you understand climate change, you'd know that Nigeria doesnt constitute even 2% of global emmissions. Whatever law they're passing won't have an effect unless the big industrial powers of the world decide what to do. Global warming is not a country by country thing. lol..

As much as this makes sense,
Unfortunately, Nigeria contributes less than 1% of global CO2 emmissions so whatver we are cutting won't change anything. The major polluters will remain the major polluters and as long as the major industrial economies don't act on this, we're simply wasting our time.

Bbdd, did you choose your research topic and advisor before getting to campus?

These things are very department specific. If there's a specific person mentioned in your funding letter. That's the guy you should be contacting.

Nonetheless, I think this is the time to relax and prep for your trip. You'll have more than enough time to think about supervisors and research. Trust me.

Romance / Re: Why White Men Will Forever Be Ahead Of Black Men. by bbdd: 12:50am On Apr 26, 2016
Ladrang:



I'm a black man. I'm proud of my race. I'm proud of my black skin colour.

When you started out with this thread, I thought you had a goal of drumming a harsh and cacophonous criticism to jar the slumbering ears of black men into life. But it is obvious at this point that you have absolutely no idea about what you saying.

In any argument ( Now you're forcing me to school you in logic), the first things to look at are matters of facts:
. Is the black race a failed race? Hell NO
. Is the black race inferior to the white race? So we are made to believe.
. Are black men lazy? NO (see Richard Wright's 'Long Black Song').
. Are black men cowards? NO( see Mau Mau Uprising)
. Are black men indolent and leave their brains dormant? NO.
.White men love themselves more... but black men don't? NO.
.Do white men sell the worst of blacks to the world? YES... And you're lauding that? Too bad!

You've failed to even get your facts right, and that explains why you're running all over the place like a headless chicken.

I'm not done schooling you.

Only one of the points you've raised qualifies for the second phase: the definition of facts. The black race might have been constructed to be inferior, but the inferiority of the black race starts and ends in the mental edifice of the brainwashed. In strength, IQ, and all natural endowments you can think of, the black race is not inferior. Even assuming the black race is truly inferior, you gat to show love; self love. You gat to love who you're no matter what. A mother will always love her child no matter the disability.

Now I'm done schooling you! Back to the matter.

Over the course of this thread, you've said a lot things -- bad things. You've not only denigrated the black race, but you've tacitly denounced being one(I have no problem with that). You've disrespected the struggle of the black slaves in America, and glorified the evils of the white slave masters. You've disrespected all black men alive.

The black man may be down today, he may be a second or third class citizen of the world, but the black man will always survive; always have, always will. The black will survive even the attacks of misguided people like you.

I understand you want to always stand out, but you've have a lot of things you need to learn: start from history, continue with my lesson on stasis, and above all, learn self-love. Learn to love you.


PREACH BRO!!
You make sense!!

I'm in Canada, been here since 2009, finished my masters in 2011. I beg go yankee. USA is a better market for job. USA respects degree while Canada respects only experience thereby forcing a lot of masters grad without experience to go into menial jobs to survive.

Forget about what u hear about Canada among Nigerians. Well, it's up to you, let your spirit man guide you. God bless you, Brother.

True.
Canada's permanent residency has less benefits compared to the US green card which is why Nigerians rush there because they feel it's easier to get residency..but there's life after PR.

There's also a big phenomenon of PhD cab drivers. This is a huge issue in Canada because lots of grads can't seem to get jobs even with permanent residency which is almost unheard of in the US.

Coupled with the extremely harsh weather, very high tax, lower income compared to the US, Cd$ is not doing so well.......

The process is a little confusing and I really don't know where to start. First, what is your budget like? The three route I can outline for you are:

1. Apply to Kaplan and be prepared to attend classes and live lectures- this should cost you about $9,000 for 10months study plan. This includes admission and sevis fee.

2. Write GRE and apply for Masters program. And look for a way to create a study plan for yourself or write your USMLE exams during your semester break or after masters, you can use your opt time to write the exams.

3. You can apply for Masters, switch to a language school which would cost like $500 monthly or apply to a community college and take easy classes while you study for your USMLE.

If you have specific questions you would like to ask please do. It would make it easier to get a more direct response.

Hey,
I hope your friend is doing well and studying hard for the exam.. Has she done part 1?
I would advice her to start researching community practice and less on specialties because Obamacare(affordable care act) is putting a lot of emphasis on community medicine and VA programs so they will need some people...I think...those should be less competitive than the classic residency for specialties but less pay.
