Does unskilled jobs like receptionist and other vocational jobs count as jobs that can be used to get work permit, after the expiration of the six months visa?

Please 🙏 someone should enlighten me, this is the last thing I want to find out before I start processing my visa application, help a brother.

How I Helped My Sister With Food Items And Accessories To Take To Canada.
Recently, my sister escaped from this hard country to Canada for greener pastures. Many of you knew me on this site as that young girl with sharp mouth. Well, I may be choleric but I m also nice.
So this February, sister went to Ontario. I knew she'd miss home. I went to Wuse market and nearby street shops n bought varieties. I waka-waka my rubber slippers cut. My sister is a picky type that eat light foods but she still love our local dishes. She's going to miss home 😭 and I just want her to v her favorite foods as long as she can. Though she can patronize African stores over there too.
As I m typing this, I can't wait to see her, am so happy for her and I hope to relocate too via marriage in future. Hm, God when?

Anyways I ll list some of the items as I post them here. They are educative and useful for people going abroad too. There are some items you can take along like razor blades, shaving sticks, stock fish, palm oil, locust beans, garri, beans, rice, onions, matches, polish, makeup props, grinded beans for moinmoin or akara, crayfish, beans, balls, sellotape, dried pepper, potash, bathroom slippers, cleansers, needles and threads to sew post letter tear-tear undies or clothes. 😂 In fact, just carry any small daily use item we use here and conceal them well cos of over sabi long throat immigration officers at airport. It ll shock you you can buy a packet of blade that's not up to N1,000 for over $20 Canadian dollars, that's over N20K in Nigeria. Imagine blade pack kan for N20K? It no shock you?
So below are items I packed for her and she's enjoying them there. 😂

Pic 1, Carton of coaster biscuit, table size mortar and pestle for her to grind pepper and packs of match sticks.

which pathway did she travel with? via visa type

read well. Op is not talking about job seeker visa. He said work visa.

I made a mistake, I was actually referring to the job seeker visa category

pseudonomer:
It’s prolly Job seeker visa, for this, you don’t need a job offer.

For a job visa, you need to have a job offer.

Yes you're right, that's it.

Aizenosa:
Advice get a work visa, student visa is limiting and funding living and educational expenses is not for the faint hearted and sometimes it doesn't tally up. The only good part is that you get a degree.

Yeah, I'm weighing my options....thanks for engaging.

1Alex:
I'm not talking about visa sponsorship

Okay, But the ones I see getting it didn't get any job offer.

1Alex:
Meanwhile you are not alone in this case. But I have concluded to work towards study route. I am a Graduate but going for postgraduate studies no make sense for me. Na money I dey find. So I have decided to Find a certificate or diploma course that will last about one year or at most 2 years. This is to give time for me to plan well while there. But it will be wise to find a course that will be of benefit to in case of emergency.

I don't think it's mandatory to get a job from here for the job visa category I'm looking at. People are getting visas without a job offer, I guess you're talking about job visa sponsorship.

Studying is cool too, but why spend time studying when I can start working within a short time frame of arrival? That's why I'm looking for more ideas and insights.

I've been in a dilemma for some time now, trying to choose which pathway I should use for my japa plan.

I would prefer to go with a study visa(to Portugal or Malta) as I'm more familiar with the process and can do everything myself without much help, and it's also easier to get the visa.

My problem with it is that it's quite expensive, and it will take some time for me to start doing full-time work to save tangible funds and cover up the sources I used in getting the japa capital.

On the other hand, a work visa looks great, but I'm not familiar with the process (I will most likely seek assistance from travel agents I know in person), I don't know the possibility of getting a good job within the time-frame the visa will last.

With study, I'll have to target countries with favorable PR requirements, but with a work visa, I will go for any good one without considering much about PR possibilities.

My major motivation is financial, please which one should I go for

How legit is work visa, looking for jobs on arrival. I need your opinions. Thanks in advance.

Eky29:
You don’t have to change the location on your profile but you can change the location in job search column on LinkedIn. Just like in the picture below.
It will bring out all the job advert in the particular position you want in that country

Okay, thank you very much....

Eky29:
Through LinkedIn

Did you change your location to Croatia for the search on LinkedIn?

Is it an IT job or a vocational job...?

charmingsamson:
These are Jobs for foreigner, find the profession of your field and apply. They are all visa sponsorship. Good luck

Which sites can I find these openings on...

Eky29:

I’m waiting for my work permit now from my employer.
I’m hoping to be there in March by God’s grace

Please how did you find a legit employer.....?

OP, how much will be enough for a single person for the whole process, like an estimate.

tensazangetsu20:
Lots of reading to be honest. Also meeting people in the country and being friends with them way before you even move can help with your decisions too.

Okay, thank you very much. I've been following you for a while and have seen how much genuine info you share, please don't be discouraged by these unrepentant cornmen. Some of us still need privileged info as we're still working behind the scenes to leave here for good.

Please how do you do this immigration research, I'll be glad to know how you do it.

My people, I'm planning to sell off some properties next year to start applying for an MSc study visa route, please what are the best ways I can save proceeds in other currencies from the sale of these properties so I won't experience negative forex exchange when I want to use the funds.

Help a brother please.

Please I would like to know if University of Hull have January intake.

Thanks bosses for all the wonderful tips, God bless y'all.

tensazangetsu20:
You should start researching now o. Admission is open once a year for Finland if you miss January you don miss o till 2024 be that. Honestly, if you can you are better off in other European countries. The Uk doesn't have much to offer in terms of economic prospects.

Okay, thanks fam.....I appreciate, one love!

tensazangetsu20:
6 million is too low for Canada. Op go to Finland, admissions are currently open and will close in January.

Okay boss, but how do I get to know about other things like the kind of jobs that could be available, accomodation and the rest.

I would appreciate any vital info on that, or a link to where I can read it up....!

Sweetvie:

jorez:
My dear no one can place absolute answer to your questions,but you may have seen thousands taking this step, is faith determination and prayers,what may be good for A may not be so for B whether is in Nigeria or UK,but one thing is sure the system works better over there and if you work hard you are likely to succeed more,so make up your mind and take a bold step for your future and leave the rest to God.
Have a great day.

Thank you very much, I appreciate....!

Greetings Nairalanders, I would appreciate your candid advice about traveling to UK for my post graduate studies.

I come from a family of 4, all of us are graduates but none is gainfully employed, thanks to Nigeria's bad government system.

We've been struggling to make ends meet for a long time, no notable achievements from we the children.

My mom is late and my dad is a retired civil servant, so recently my elder brother's friend and his wife migrated to the UK.

He told my brother about the process, now my elder brother wants me to be the one to travel to UK so things can change for good in the family.

My people are planning to sell almost all of the landed properties we have, we're looking at 5-6 million naira or more.

I'll be 27 by March next year, I want to know if this is a smart move.

Would this venture worth the risk....

What is life in UK like...

What do I need to have to make it there

What should I expect studying in UK

Which soft skills can fetch me more money

I'm a guitarist here, can I do anything with over there?

Aside from UK, which other countries I can be studying and working part-time to make a living and help my people down here.

Please I would appreciate your contributions, God bless you all.....❤️��✊�
