Ethelia:

@ethelia, can someone already studying in Canada apply for pr? He didn’t know he could make the crs and after checking, he is at 452. Can he go ahead to apply for pr while on study visa?

Having admission doesn't give any advantage in PR application. Student visa application and PR application are 2 separate processes. Now, some people feel that you stand the risk of having the student visa application refused if you submit it when you have a pending pr application. This is because there is already prima facie evidence that you intend to remain in Canada and the Visa officer might feel you wont be inclined to leave after the expiration of a study permit if your PR application is refused (hope I’m making sense?). In any case, if you are able to prove enough ties back in Nigeria and convince the VO then your student visa might still be approved

Kayla10:


It is still her opinion and story however, and none of you have the right to censor her. I find that some men (especially Nigerian men) are bothered by women like her who expressly know what they want and refuse to settle. It is okay for men to all day errday choose to selectively court and woo beautiful women, but women are denied such luxuries as well. When a woman states what she unequivocally wants, all y'all start losing your s**t. E dey pain abi? Mtchewwwww!!!!!

....And I find it absolutely inane and immature that people always resort to the ridiculous "you will be 40 and unmarried line". So what if she is 40 and unmarried? Pray tell, would that mean she couldn't live a marvelous life? Why do some people insist on foisting silly expectations on women?!! Some of you won't be happy till women are cowering and existing as token handmaids.

@Nicoletheo, please DO YOU! You feel me, do whatever you think you need to do for yourself. These ones here flapping their gums won't come and live in your home with you. They won't be there when s**t get real; many people are only great at giving nonsense advice and opinions so feel free to ignore the heck outta them.

And finally una wey dey follow that Alikote talk na una make mistake; his english alone was a dead giveaway. Una for just know sey e no fit talk better something....mtchewwwwwww!!!

Hi Blingyrie
Just want to find out if you have received your passport/ have an update

Nicoletheo:
Hello All,
Greetings to all the Elders in the house. I am Nicole and currently work as an IT Business Analyst in an Investment House. I am Female and 31. I have a master degree from one of the top 10 schools in the UK, and first degree in Computer Science and Law. I've worked as a BA for 5 years with ITIL , CBAP and other certifications under my belt. While my fiancée works in a Bank in Treasury. His first degree is in an Political Science but he's worked in the Treasury arm of the bank for about 3 years. Now my dilemma is , how feasible would it be for him to get a job? Since we are both considering relocating. He's an amazing man but sometimes when I remember that his line of work does not sell as fast as IT , I get discouraged about settling down permanently with him. I feel because I have worked with IT professionals for most of my working life, I believe such skills are more in demand. Asides the job thingy, my fiancée is one of the most amazing and selfless individuals ive ever met.

We are considering getting married in October 2018

follyzee:
In as much as I avoid getting into conversations that aren't my biz, I just could not let this pass.

I feel it's totally wrong to insult her becos of her opinion. To a large extent, it's her life n she has the right to use whatever metric to measure all that concerns her. I feel the info she provided isn't enough to judge her to this extent

Moreover, how are u sure the guy is not in the relationship 4 the material gains. It's very common now in Nigeria becos of the economy downturn. Young guys looking 4 wealthy daughter to carry the financial burden. As view her as a cash cow (I'm not saying that is the case here).

Moreover as a father, if a daughter brings home a man, u will want to consider his future plans n prospects.

However, I will advise she discusses with him n plan on how they can improve his "educational issues" if that is the only pending issue.


Pls dont castigate her, lets be kind to one another ...

Salford1, your friend can still buy the house and have someone or a family rent a part of it (like the basement).
This way, he can still be paying 1K in monthly mortgage instead of tossing it in rent.
Some people buy houses and don't even spend a dime in monthly mortgage because they have renters paying for them the monthly mortgage.

TheCongo2:


Incorrect. The price of a house would always go UP and never down unless there is a recession which is very rare.
Having a property is the best investment anyone can ever had.

A house you buy today will be 5 years OLD in 5 year, but would cost $50.000 to $100.000 more in 5 year market.
The more you wait to buy a house, the more expensive houses will get.

The common factor among most of the people who buy houses is the following sentence "if I knew then what I know now"

TheCongo2:


I bought a 4 bedrooms house in 2013 in London, Ontario. The mortage including porperty taxes varies around $1600/month ($1300 Mortgage + $300 in property taxes). And this was a new house.
I have a sister, who have been paying the same amount of $1600 IN RENT in Ajax, Ontario. WHAT A WASTE.


If I decide to move, I will make a profit by selling my house given that it costs around $400.000 in today market. I brought it at $275.000 in 2013. And on the other hand, my sister will never got the money back she had been putting in rent.

My 2 cents

salford1:

Sister..this canada project requires a lot of wisdom and prayers o. lol

My friend that i spoke to yesterday (mentioned in my early post) is on target of making 100k this year, but he knows his current job is not secure...

He is in the constructing and building industry back home in Nigeria, and he is yet to get his license to practise here in Canada which would also get him a stable job, but his wife is hell bent on them buying a new house like their friends at church.

He currently pays just over 1k at the apartment the family lives in. His aim is to save as much as he can on his current not secured job and take two years off to study and pass his licensing exams. He knows if he buys a house now..he might end up never ever returning to his original career and become stuck in paying mortage and bills with nothing solid on ground.

He had already made up his mind on what to do and only called me for a 2nd opinion.

TheCongo2:


I strongly disagree with the bolded part. Having a property is the best investment and the sooner someone buys a house, the better.
In addition to that, you will still pay rent if you don't own a house. So, why not to invest your money in your own mortgage than paying someone's else mortgage in the form of rent?
And if you want to move, you can still sell the house and get your money back whereas if you have been renting you will never got the rent money back.
In my opinion, the money you put into rent is money that you have thrown at the window.

40manlappy:




I was initially confused on whether to choose "Part 2" or "Part 3" for the thread.

What made me settle for "Part 2" was because the initial thread was majorly pre-Express Entry, so I figured that may be the reason zandora did not name it "Part 2" especially since EE was launched in January 2015.

@all

Please let me know if "Part 3" would be the preferred title so that I can adjust accordingly.
