Here's the link for Australia, those guys there are really helpful, www.nairaland.com/2338380/general-australian-visa-enquiries-part

Thanks brother.

You may start by writing IELTS and also evaluating your certificate (once you finish you masters).

Thanks bro.

Hello friends,

Thinking of relocating to either Canada or Australia after my MSc graduation here in UK this september.

Yes i know nothing is sure; I just need people in the know to kindly advice me on what are the possible opportunities available in these countries and what visa type is better in either country.

Just to help; I have 2.1 in Mechanical Engineering from Nigeria Uni; MSc in Subsea Engineering from UK Uni.

Have had about two (2) years working experience with a oil and gas contractor company in Nigeria before coming for my MSc in UK.

Your advice is appreciated, Thanks.

xfire, justwise, spikesC

Actually I have said more than enough. Those that know what people in Shell, ExonMobil, Chevron and Total earn in that order, will more than understand. You should have humbly and simply asked for clarification instead of being cynical.

My brother if you want to give info, give; if you dont want to give, then forget. Stop the name calling and the way you wrote that your former post was like you were coding the message (from your own future colleagues in no more than six months ).

Makes me remember one of my classmate (abeg, not you o), that will always like his own classmate to be lobbying before he let out info. Me and na neva agree one day.

Abeg, nor be like that o since we will be colleagues soon.

Caveat: I wrote in Pidgin so that you will understand the tone of my msg, na joking tone o.

Nicer:
Amusing to see the number of people who claim to have 'insider' information here. All wrong by the way. wish you guys that have participated in the AC the best of luck. it's all down to you, not down to any referral, not down to any senatorial district (ridiculous!). just pray....

The most trustworthy source on this thread so far; thanks for stopping by to break words with us. Very reassuring and calming to the uneasiness that was gradually developing.

To wait patiently isnt an easy feat; the favoured ones shall smile at last though.

If i'm not asking for too much, we will appreciate if you come around like this quite often to dispel the lies from those who claim to have "inside sauce", and probably massage us with some nerves relaxing and insensitive info like this.

ladyF:
wow and I'm complaining when we were about 3 females on my own floor.

But we shouldn't say this recruitment has been strictly on merit. Someone who scored higher than me in the SHL from another state of origin that didn't make it to the AC may exist. All I'm saying is since they are already awarding based on state of origin, they can as well extend it to gender... Even GEJ used that as part of his achievements during his campaign.

Assumptions is the mother of all f*ck-up.


Happy Sunday Friends. Our appointment is getting closer with each passing day.

Kelklein:
At the interview to fill the vacancy of a Field Engineer in a multinational oil company, two competent and qualified Engineers were shortlisted and the company was to decide on who to retain and who to show the red card.

They asked them If they could drive and they both answered in the affirmative even though only one of them could drive. The Head of the Human Resources spearheading the interview cum pruning session then handed his car keys to them to prove their driving skills within the premises.

The over-confident applicant collected the car key, opened the car, switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled, swerved and made some stunts on wheels before parking the car on the same spot to the seeming rousing applause and mischievously knowing smile of the interviewers.

The other applicant who could not drive collected the key all the same, opened the car, opened the bonnet, checked the engine oil level, the brake fluid level, the gear oil level and the water in the radiator level. As he closed the bonnet, the chief interviewer walked towards him and said: "Don't bother driving, you've just been hired!"

Precaution is more powerful than expertise!
The race is not for the swiftest, but to the wise!
Don't be brash and over-confident. Learn the ropes and never back off from giving your best even If you don't possess what it takes.

That someone is doing it fast doesn't mean he is doing it right! Direction is more important than speed! Exercise caution and take precaution in the journey of life- that's how to be recruited into the employment of success...

Thanks friend for sharing. You just encouraged me.

God bless you.

Such height of Patriotism.

If a man like this get the right motivation (from a system that works), Boko Haram would have been a thing of the past and Nigeria Army would been the best in Africa.

But, my brother; use brain do the patriotism because the ogas at the top are not helping matter. So nor be man pikin go die put o.

Good luck to you.

Good evening NLanders!! Justwise, worry357, spikesc and other lovely U.K diasporans


I have a cousin who also happens to be a Nairalander, i am bringing this here for her to get other opinions and stop disturbing me
She'd soon be making her U.K student Visa application and then this news of foreign students leaving the country after studies dropped, she has been on the phone with me all evening crying cause she said she really wanted to stay back and work. i already told her to worry less cause by the time she has completed her four years in the U.K something else must have come up, i know i am very bad at motivating someone, LOL. She really can't go to any other country now cause
1)She has family in U.K and this might help settle her in fully well..

2)She already paid half of the tuition fees, everything for her Visa application is ready.


I just need you guys to say something positive to her, let her see the light at the end of that tunnel. I know some peeps are also in her shoes, so i guess whatever you guys tell her will also calm some spirits down..

Thanks

My brother the best motivation is to say the truth as it is.

Things are getting bad and to deceive somebody to something that might get even worst is worth re-considering.

With the way things are going, we dont expect the immigration situation of foreign student to improve tremendously in four years.

She is better of requesting for a refund from her school and going somewhere else (where ever that is except UK - though i prefer Canada).

Many self sponsor students in my school wished each day, they had chosen other more friendly destinations.

As for settling because her family is in UK, I think this is the aspect you can concentrate on motivating her that she can survive else if others have been surviving (besides she has her money and isnt going there to survive by hustling - i guess).

My one cent. Prevention is better than Cure.

naastyme:
Lol... Discussing money and keeping our hopes high might result to a more intense heartbreak, but lets live now and die then like men! There was life beforé NLNG, there will be one after it...

Nobody is dieing bro, at least not me.

I believe with the end of AC in Lagos last week, PH will starts tomoro and will continue for two weeks.

jnrbanks:

The best way to get any woman to love you is to ignore her...........women get irritated with too much attenntion

Classic

So far so good about 400 persons would hv done the AC since it started on the 8th of June, all things been equal.

Four weeks into the AC excercise and with 20 persons per day.

2 weeks in Abuja and another 2 weeks in Lagos so far.

4 weeks * 5 days/wk * 20 persons/day = 400 persons done till date.

Questions??

Does AC till continue in Lagos next week?


When does PH AC start?


When is the end date for this AC?


If this AC continues like this every week without any break in between and some persons claim to have AC in August, then AC peeps could be up to 1000 altogether?


Lastly, those that have done theirs have you started receiving refund for your transport, because i have not yet receive any though i did mine on the second day of the whole excercise?

As much as these rules tries to look like you are not serious or committed; it could be apply alongside with real commitment to duty for effective result.

That way, your commitment will give result for your bosses to see while these rules will be magnifying the input you put in to achieve the results.

Maywhile, this rules does not just work in Nigeria, I live in England; i can say it works world wide. But just ensure you produce real results as these rules only magnify the input and effort needed to produce the results you are producing.

Beside, it is the white man that applies this rule the most. As they will make even small work look like they have to conquer maintain everest to get it done; so that they get lots of praises and probably higher pay and promotion.

Like the poster above said, it is called 'packaging'. But lets me emphasize that you do the real work and get result for this 'magnifying the effort' packaging to work and impress your boss.

First thing first...op ur jobless.

You don give her direct employment into washing plates department.

Baddest
.
This was exactly what i was expecting the op to do.

The guy go there go say 'tell am say i dey sleep'. Common, for play the prank reach end.

Why re ppl bordering themselves this much.

Is it not obvious they will extend it; or do u think in ur right mind that ur hard earn money will just lost in a bank like that if u didnt do today?

Pls tell me another story, jor.

Collintos:
Woow love that mindset... " ..our company... " it shall be so to you. Trust everyone is having a nice time with the AC. Wishing everyone all the best.

Thanks man. Wishing you all the best too.

Another positive breaking news for our company, NLNG.

chuksydon:
Guys,

Please I need your help. I'm scheduled for this AC for June 19 in Abuja but I am unavailable for that date and location. I have since sent 6 emails to the recruiters but haven't gotten any response.

Does anyone have a phone number I can call instead of just still waiting for an email response?

I'll be most grateful.

I called them earlier but they said there is no room for rescheduling.

But you can try again, here is the legit +234 80 3907 4227.

If they refuse you, please try and make on that day. It is going to be worth it.

Schipolkky2211:
Na u dey always sabi. Is d second one a prof. or also a PHD holder?

Dfavouredone:
Cool idea bro. I am in the UK right now but will be flying to Nigeria first week in June. I am having my AC on the 9th of June in Abuja.

It will be nice good idea for we coming to Abuja for the AC to have a mock AC on Sunday 7th of June there in Abuja just before the start of the real AC on Monday.

Guys, what do you think?

Those interested in a Mock test in Abuja on 7th of June; please could you kindly indicate your interest so we get a consensus and enable Mr. Jarus to firm his plans.

Jarus:
We'll organize for Abuja on June 7 if we get 8 people to signify interest.
Pls call my PA on 09092989936 to signify intention to come for the Abuja session.
We need to firm this up by May 31 latest so as to book flight ahead. I booked flight for the PH session today because we've had minimum number of people.

Jarus, please that number isn't going. Keep saying, 'the number you re calling is not available'.

Cherez:
I'm booked for the 8th and a mock will be OK on the 7th at Abuja. I am in.
So, Jarus hit d button and give us details of your price and what we need do.
Thank you.
I

Got Cherez in.

Emmaville:
Wud b cool with June 7, Lagos.
Can consider Abj depending on turnout

We can make the require number of 8 and do a mock AC at Abuja.

Emmaville is in also.

I am in too. I think that make us three thus far.

RudiPapi:
Hey guys. I like this whole mock AC idea. I am one of the guys from the UK and would like to get together with similar people. Cheers
