There are criminals and then, there are dumb criminals. There's no way you imported a 2015 vehicle with less than 1k miles. Prove me wrong by providing the VIN...it's either the vehicle has been in an accidented state for 7 years or the mileage was rolled back. I don't know why you people do this...but you lose credibility when you advertise a vehicle like this. FyI, the average N.American drives approx 15k km per year (outside the COVID years). Do the math. This is not a luxury vehicle and so folks do not purchase vehicles like this and store in their garage. |

Ibime2003:With abit more liquidity, you may be able to immigrate to countries like Canada under the "investor class" category. The caveat is that you have to show willingness to invest. So, what a few folks so is to buy into a business or franchise. Every province in Canada is different and has different thresholds. So, what you need to do is read through the provincial nominee program and go through each province to understand the requirements for business class and sew which one fits you. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/provincial-nominees/works.html With this understanding, you may want to check out other countries that are pro-immigrants like Australia to see if they have similar programs. When you settle for the country/program, then you need to figure out what business to buy into. You should be careful that you do not piss your hard earned cash away. 2 Likes |

mamacajah:This is not quite accurate as the newborn will not be able to obtain a passport within 7-10 days; It takes minimum of 7-14 days to get the birth certificate, which will be required for the passport. In my opinion, it comes down to $$ and convenience. The debate around immigration is valid but not a big deal in my opinion. In terms of costs, Canada is the safer option especially when there is always a chance of complication with every delivery; a CS can run up the tab pretty quickly in the US versus $0 in Canada. So, the suggestion to give birth in Canada seems quite logical. However, I certainly cannot underestimate the support required at childbirth especially in the western world; so it probably makes more sense to land in Canada and take the next flight into the US. Alternatively, @geebaby10 husband can stay for a couple more weeks after the delivery and all can fly back to Nigeria afterwards. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I read your comments - all of it and I actually agree with your perspective, which is quite consistent with the OP's perspective. He/she may have over sensitized the topic but shared his/her experience, which is the essence of this forum. Maybe if he/she (and the over 90% of foreign grads) planned better, outcomes may have been different; nonetheless, several others are still making the same "mistakes" (for whatever reasons - poor planning, not paying attention, lack of info, strategic hoping, etc) after almost a decade.

TWoods:Fair enough, but this is simplistic at best. However, I believe that the argument is that the UK immigration laws currently provide limited (or no) levers/options that a foreign grad can exercise; so going to the UK as a foreign student is not the best deal given other options out there. The stats show that over 90% (I believe the number I saw was 97%) of foreign students (not just Nigerian students) leave the UK after their studies. Compare that to the retention rates in the US or Canada. Isn't this the crux of this thread, no? 10 Likes 1 Share |

I try to stay away from debates about settling experiences because everyone's experience is (going to) be different; so as usual, i did not bother reading the post you quoted. We are all unique with different abilities and react to circumstances very differently. Canada will not work for everybody...that's a given.

Saintp:Not necessarily. I am assuming it is a multiple entries visa for 1.5 years. What it means is that she is eligible to enter Canada (once - single entry; multiple - multiple entries) over this time period (1.5 years). However, at the point of entry (airport), her stay for that particular entry will be validated. The max on a TRV is usually 6 months and more often than not, the border officer just stamps the passport. However, there are some times, the officer may choose to give a shorter time period and a visitor record. If for some reason you have to extend the stay, you have two options. One option is to apply (internally) for an extension; you have to meet the requirements for extension. The other option is to leave and come back (as you suggested). |

The process is quite straightforward. Basically, you purchase health insurance (from 3rd party insurance companies) for the parent and include the evidence in the application. For context, the SuperVisa was introduced to allow Parents spend time with their children/grandchildren for an extended time without continuing to renew a TRV or 6months stay. However, the govt needs some assurance that the health of these older folks are not at risk and they will not put undue burden on the health system, hence the need to transfer the risks to 3rd party health insurance companies. I hope this helps. pauloverdi: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Nothing she can do other than spending $$ on a lawyer and hoping she does not lose her status. CIC does not joke with misrepresentation and ignorance is not an excuse.

Welcome and good luck with your move. Nothing against your approach because it is quite obvious that you prepared quite abit for your move. However, I will never advise anyone to sign a lease (I am assuming you signed a 1 year lease) on the first day of arrival. Give yourself a few days to familiarize yourself with the environment, different options/neighborhoods and landlords (yes, every landlord is different). Just a suggestion. XX01: 9 Likes |

pauloverdi:TRV is probably an easier/faster option. With Supervisa, your MIL will need to do medicals and you will also need to get medical insurance, which will cost you a few hundred dollars. One advantage of the Supervisa over the TRV is that your MIL can stay for up to 2 years without having to renew her stay, unlike 6 months with the TRV. The Supervisa is typically valid for up to 10 years or until the passport expires; most Nigerian passports have a validity of 5 years...so the max validity of the Supervisa will be 5 years. With TRV, it is really up to the Visa Officer. She could be giver a 2 weeks Visa or a 2 years Visa....so you might end up renewing it a couple of times. However, one thing is for sure...as far as you/she meets the requirements and there is no misrepresentation, she will be issued the visa (TRV or Supervisa) 1 Like 2 Shares |

Adesire1:Canadian PR Applicants may be denied entry to Canada if their health or any of their dependents' health (whether accompanying or not) is a danger to public health or safety; or will cause excessive demand on the Canadian health care system or on social services in Canada. School aged children diagnosed with Autism, legal blindness, deafness, etc are flagged because these conditions require special care. If the applicant's family is admitted to Canada, the system is such that the child will get the best care and social support and he (the applicant) will not pay a cent other than his taxes. The healthcare system does not have a cost recovery component where an applicant can choose to reimburse the government, however there have been cases where applicants have put forward a mitigation plan, with success. hifyty:@hifyty, I will not resign yet. It may be a longer journey but it is not insurmountable. There is a spectrum of autism, the higher end being extreme and requiring all hands on deck. You will likely not get an outright rejection, unless you choose not to respond. You may be required to go for additional tests and depending on the results, you may want to start thinking of some mitigation measures you can put forward. Again, the context is to minimize the burden on the Canadian healthcare system. Please spend some time reading through this, if you have not already done so: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/standard-requirements/medical-requirements/refusals-inadmissibility/excessive-demand-on-health-social-services.html All the best! 21 Likes |

I thought I'd add to the tax discussions - For newcomers (or even older residents) filing taxes, I recommend studiotax. It is a free software for personal use and if you are like the average employed resident (or self employed consultant, contractor, etc), you may want to learn how to file your own taxes. It is very easy (to file taxes) and helps you understand some key principles behind the tax laws and financial planning. You may want to validate your first filing with a tax accountant or someone that has a clue. 32 Likes 27 Shares |
