@ bolded, what do you see it as? Why do you think CIC bothered to include a placeholder for date of evaluation report? If the date is irrelevant, it won't be there.

Aunty Fanta, I saw the mini testimony you gave a few pages back on how far you've come and giving God glory. Only for you to get ITA without His glory? So you wan help God give you the PPR? Does He need your help by you cutting corners?

Ask yourself these questions, you will know the right thing to do.

Abeg, make Una let me chop my Christmas snake meat in peace.

Chai, but Nigerians can cut corners eh

MSc and Bsc now evaluated as 2 or more certificates??
Omo, na fuel scarcity dey cause this one.

biacan:
I thought they are already married.....ehmm why is she crying just because he propose.........? low self-esteem

Madam high self-esteem , you don marry?

freeradical:
Lemme attempt this for a family of four with two pre-school age kids

Monthly rent.................853
Tenancy Insurance.........28
Groceries......................400 (being ultra conservative here)
Internet/cable TV...........105 (I'm getting this free for signing a one year lease with my rental company)
Phone bill......................110 (For two phone lines with Fido)
Child care cost...............769 (After removing the government subsidy)
Bus pass x 2..................190
Electricity bill..................50

These are basic expenditure you will encounter as a newly landed immigrant hence the request for POF. I didnt even add miscellaneous expenses. Now you have it. I hope this doesnt scare you off from completing your journey to Canada

monthly expenditures? Then why did CIC propose far less amount of money as POF ?

Ok, let's do this in naira.
2500*290=725k/ Month.

Jesus have mercy.

crazyinlove:
You can check the University of British Columbia.

https://masterdatascience.science.ubc.ca/

That is where I will love to do mine too by God's grace.

This is a nice school but I'll advice you have other options. Admission is so competitive..

GlitteringStar:
One cannot really predict anything until they do the first draw for year 2018 in January. By the way, it is 2750 people and not 1250 people.

Ok, thanks.

Hey guys,

I noticed that CIC has been inviting 1250 people in each of the recent draws. Is that now the standard or will they increase the no of people they invite for subsequent draws in the new year?


@glitteringstar

einsteino:
it would likely fall in january, if provinces didnt issue pnp recently. i expect a drawscore of about 438 in the next draw. but its just a guess. lets just be hopeful.

And no more IELTS tests this year.

All these people with high CRS scores, collect your ITA now and 'leave the road''. Una dey block me with my 429.

Congrats guys.

Newmum0615:
Receive your ITA today! Hope you have all your docs ready, so that you can submit sharply and flex this odun.

Chai. What is the fate of people like us with CRS score of 429? Is the score expected to come down soon?

GlitteringStar:
You will pay domestic fees.

Ok, thanks.

GlitteringStar:
I will advise your friend to focus on Express Entry if he is eligible and has a high CRS score. However, the 2.5 Million Naira will not be enough as there are other expenses (IELTS, ECA and co). Also, the minimum fund required for a single applicant is 12,300 CAD but he can use gift deed. Tell him to join the Express Entry thread. He will change to a domestic student when he land in Canada and enjoy many benefits as a Canadian permanent resident.

Hi guys,

I got an admission for 2018 September session as an international student but I'm in the process of getting ITA and subsequently PR. If everything goes as planned, will I pay school fees as a PR/citizen and not as an international student?

MhizzAJ:
Men! I really don't know what they want

Funny enough they show no remorse after cheating

Wives should stop going after the side chics biko they should concentrate more on their husband
One woman is just enough

Who told you one woman is enough?

Btw, the women should stop flooding everywhere with sex.

Talk to your fellow women. They believe they are all in competition with themselves

LUGBE:
Wonders, because of irresponsible man

How are the men irresponsible? The women are flooding everywhere with sex and so we have to collect na.

When the women's immorality reduce, the men would have few or no extra pu$sies to f0rk.

This is the reality.

40manlappy:
No!

The effect of those 2 schools and arsenal would have had a massive influence in your life- make you a very patient person.

Owols:
I believe it will.
But you can be considering PNP by the side.
Cheers.

PNP? Well, unless you are referring to Ontario PNP. I have an offer of admission from the university of Ottawa so I don't want to go to any other province aside Ontario.

Guitarlife:
Brotherly this is not an excuse na. So many single ladies here with low CRS and most also praying for life partners

Just send them a PM or advertise yourself for serious relationship and am sure you will get some look ins.

Ko si ere ni Moscow jare.

Na so people dey take find wife o even me sef am seriously eyeing GlitteringStar and I know am not the o ly one . Lol

Glitteringstar is a a superstar here so a lot of people will definitely be on her case. Step up your game.

I'll love to attend Una wedding in Canada.

luciano80:
If they happen to dish out ITAs to top CRS applicants, then chances are it will drop. When a lot of applicants with high scores are plentiful in the pool, then it will take a some time...my opinion

Thanks.

I'll be patient and wait for my turn. I have no Masters and no wife to add any point to this CRS score of 429. My age sef no help (early 30s ).

Hey guys,


Listening 8
Reading 7
Writing 7
Speaking 7

CRS score is 429

Do you guys think the CRS cut off will get as low as 429?

40manlappy:
@tippex @Bsbabe Both of you made me laugh out loud

I attended both institutions, so I can relate

@tippex undergraduate or MBA?

Really? Are you also an arsenal fan?

vcole:
And to that person trying to look for who to get into a completely senseless argument over preferential treatment of women in Nigeria, well done. Keep on living in your la la land. If you like too, argue with yourself or insult me and my entire generation, i will not answer you.

Drops troublesome mic.

Picks the mic

You must really think that your posts are sacrosanct. Whenever you want to make "completely senseless" posts on a public forum and feel so big to defend it, don't post it.

kike100:
As you all are doing Voltron on long distance marriage/relationship ontop canny matter, remember say:

WHAT A MAN CAN DO, A WOMAN CAN DO WAY BETTER!(RSV)

q

There are some battles North Korea wouldn't get into, against the USA.

XX01:
I'll pass on that.

Good. I'm happy you know that women get preferential treatment here in Nigeria.

temitope06:
You lied. Nigerian girls will chase a great grand father if he's rich. 50 is very young with our Naija Aunties, even the female celebs are not left out. Naija man alone making money while the family is abroad? The one wey the family dey with am sef still dey fire steady. Alot of my friends that were good guys when they were single are now firing squads after marriage, a 360 turn. They tell me guy marry first then u go understand. Marriage is a whole diff topic tbh cos apart from having kids, it is a disaster, how in the world are u supposed to be with the same person for over 50 years? Being apart is a definite recipe for divorce, the good men will not allow it to go beyond just shagging but some men fall prey to the 'extreme' powers of our lovely naija Aunties and then Achebe is involved, things start to fall apart.

This is so true. Unfortunately, not a lot of people like the truth being laid bare this way.

Arielle:
You are so right. It would take massive commitment and super human discipline for the relationship to survive. I know a couple doing that and all is not really well with them. But going by the naija style of marriage, they're still together and that's what matters.
It sounds doable though, if the couple have a plan and a schedule from the onset and give themselves a limit for living apart. And adopt the 'don't ask don't tell' (and don't snoop) policy. Like someone said here, Canada is too cold. � And a lot of naija babes can be pretty determined. Young guy, banking or oil money, big empty house and no madam. Done deal!

I'll like to think that the women here don't want to hear the volcanic truth because it would give them high blood pressure. If only they know the truth. Personally, I know a lot of men who philander immediately their wives and kids move abroad. Naija men? Forget it. But body no be fire wood.

Infact, once these single girls see a financially buoyant dude (less than 50) without his wife , they will hunt him to feed him with pussy. God help you if these "mosquitoes" want more than just feeding him with pussy. For some reasons best known to them, these men are better than the single guys.

XX01:
Nigeria ke!

I can give you instances but I would like to understand why you or vcole feel that ladies are regarded less in nigeria even with all the preferential treatment they get in Nigeria. Yes, in Nigeria.

KrustyKomet:
Lagos is the country's commercial capital, great place and all but I found your post funny especially when I compared it to what you posted about Lagos somewhere else

She was obviously joking when she made that statement. Some people just want to argue just for the sake of it.

vcole:
Not true for everyone. My spouse and I were in the "doing well" group back home. Migrating to Canada was not triggered by a need for better financial prosperity but for other reasons. There is more to living in a country than the Jobs or funds you make. I have kids, growing up in this present day Nigeria for them is a risk in my opinion. Violence is allowed to thrive, the values being perpetrated right now back home are not exactly great. Then let's talk about the "over religiosity" and yet lack of love and kindness that is rampant back home. For us, it was mostly to be able to live in a place where our kids would grow up and not feel comfortable walking past someone who fell on the road and needs a helping hand to lift them up. Yes, they could have been taught that everywhere but it is harder to do that in present day Nigeria. Even our generation grew up in a better naija than this. Also, let's talk about education........Nigeria is still waaaaayyyyyy backwards as regards advancing educational opportunities that are relevant in the future. I have an interest in Academia and that would practically die if I remained back home. Let's talk about health care which happens to be my field. Yes, I could be in Nigeria and make a ton of money but my career would be pretty much dead in the water having more patients who die than those who live. No matter how hard I tried within 7yrs of practice back home I could never develop the selective amnesia needed to practice in Nigeria. Then let's talk about gender issues. I have a son and a daughter. I refuse to raise my son in a society that makes him regard women less than they should. Yes, he could be raised sane in Naija but it'll require more effort and I'll much rather put in that effort and let the society I live in help strengthen it. My daughter........Canada is currently the best country in the world to live as a woman and I'll much rather live here and have my daughter raised here than in Nigeria.
People migrate for so many other reasons and not always because they are not "doing well"
No matter how much doing well you are doing back home you'll still have and maintain a generator, provide your own water, drive on pothole ridden roads, provide your own security, keep yourself and family indoors during elections, run away to another country for medical care if you are diagnosed with cancer, pray that you are not involved in a ghastly accident on the expressway or even within the city because emergency care services may never get to you in time and no matter how much "doing well" you are doing your life expectancy will remain in the 50s and the list is endless and personally I don't believe in "praying for every damn thing" . But these kind of issues don't bother everyone.

I agree with all you wrote except the part you said that girls are regarded less in this country. In Nigeria, women get preferential treatment.

Nice write up.

yokus:
I just tire my Sis. I read it, shook my head and jumped pass. I can't even fathom how one can come to such a conclusion so confidently.

Ok, how can 2 people who live in different continents remain married ? A financially comfortable dude living in the land of mosquitoes ( desperate girls) at that. My landlord and my boss have their wives in Europe while they are here (in Nigeria) philandering. Is that one marriage? Maternal said the truth undiluted. Is it now a crime to see the truth and shout it they way it is?

Beube:
like 200-300k

����
Bro, please.




Do take your time to read about benefits of immigrating to Canada. You can visit quota to get people's experiences or even some experiences of our seniors here.

ItsYourFriend:
May I answer, yes...

Well, it depends on what you want in life? Money, sane environment, clean air, good healthcare system, functional society and co. My cousin is a branch manager in one of the banks in Nigeria and she is also planning to relocate to Canada. She would rather live in a sane country with slightly good pay than the huge amount she makes in naija. To each their own.

Don't you trust in your ability to compete for and get good job in Canada?

Beube:
Please i want to ask a very funny question but i really desire to know the truth.
Is it worth coming to canada if u have a job in naija and earn average well
How easy is it to get a job in my field basic telecoms job,
How easy is it to settle.
Whats the best region to settle.
Will i get a better job path if i come.
Many questions on mind, because am almost giving up on this journey with the many stories of no jobs over there and u not been able to save anything from ur income. I heard u spend all ur salaries on bills. Please i want to know the crystal truth abeg

What's the range of that "average well"? 600k-800k/ month?

maternal:
Plenty woman dey for Canada. In fact you'll forget about that colleague once you land. Focus on relocating here first, then worry about your love life. It's easier to get a woman than Canadian papers. In 2017 a responsible man shouldn't have woman problems. Plus having papers, your level don change. Finer babes in naija will want you sef.

Me sef dey this kind of wahala. Like maternal adviced, your future over woman matter. If you let a naija girl know that you want to relocate to Canada, her love for you will skyrocket from 7% to 99%. ��
