Hello guys.
I've been exploring so many travel routes and I thought about this one.
Can someone who traveled out of Nigeria to the US on a work visa/permit invite someone else over? Let's say a friend, no family ties.
Kindly drop links if there's any.

yes, a legal resident can invite you. But if you have no previous travel history and strong ties in Nigeria ( high paying job, business with good turnover, etc) . They will not give you visit visa.

I plan to relocate to Canada from UK probably next year September. I have one and half year experience in care in UK. I would appreciate if anyone can suggest a cheap and good college to apply for diploma in healthcare in Canada. Can I get a good college between 9000-14000 canadian dollar ?

why not enter the express entry pool. Some people with UK care experience got invited last year. School route is no longer straight forward like it was 2 to 3 years ago o.

BlackRock Inc. agreed to buy Adebayo Ogunlesi’s Global Infrastructure Partners for about $12.5 billion, vaulting the world’s biggest money manager into the top ranks of investors that make long-term bets on energy, transportation and digital infrastructure..

This is phenomenally huge! Congrats sir. You're truly peerless.
Sagamu is trying o. Haba! From Anthony Joshua now to Chief Adebayo Ogunlesi! Wow!! I am so proud of Sagamu joor. Proud of these great Nigerian exports to the world.

Chief Adebayo Ogunlesi goes for very audacious goals and gets it done. He is just too phenomenal and I nominate him to be conferred with a GCON national honour. He is following in the footsteps of late Lagos Island-born Chief Dehinde Fernandez.
God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Large numbers of UK universities are at risk of falling into financial deficit due to a sharp decline in international students after hostile rhetoric by Rishi Sunak’s government, the head of the sector’s main lobby group has warned.

Vivienne Stern, the chief executive of Universities UK, which represents more than 140 universities, said the sector was facing the prospect of a “serious overcorrection” thanks to immigration policies that deterred international students from coming to study in Britain.

If they want to cool things down, that’s one thing, but it seems to me that through a combination of rhetoric, which is off-putting, and policy changes . . .[they have] really turned a whole bunch of people off that would otherwise have come to the UK,” Stern told the Financial Times.

Stern’s plea came as it emerged that some top universities including York, which is a member of the elite Russell Group, were being forced to soften their entry requirements in order to maintain numbers of overseas students.

The government needs to be very careful: we could end up with, from a policy point of view, what I would consider a serious overcorrection,” she added.

With the £9,250 domestic tuition fee effectively frozen for the past decade, UK universities have become increasingly reliant on non-EU students to make ends meet, with fees from non-EU students now accounting for nearly 20 per cent of sector income.

Universities are warning privately that numbers have softened sharply this year following a series of hostile policy moves by the government, with indications that enrolments may have fallen by more than a third from key countries including Nigeria and India.

One senior university insider told the FT that the sector as a whole had been “spooked” by data that showed the number of international students taking up places in January 2024 was “way below the bottom end of projections for everyone”.

In January, Sunak highlighted changes in government policy to stop international graduate students from bringing family members to the UK, adding the policy was “delivering for the British people”. 

The government also announced in December that it was reviewing the so-called “graduate route” enabling international students to work in the UK for two years after they graduate and announced a crackdown on “low-value courses”, even though only 3 per cent are failing to meet criteria set out by the regulator.

Data from Enroly, a web platform used by one in three international students for managing university enrolment, showed that deposit payments were down 37 per cent compared to last year.

New analysis for UUK by consultants PwC found that the combination of falling international student numbers, frozen tuition fees, rising staff wage bills and a softening in UK student numbers was leaving the sector facing a perfect storm.

“You take those things together, and you’ve got a big problem,” Stern said, warning that the government needed to wake up to the risk posed to a sector that contributes £71bn to the UK economy every year. 

The PwC analysis was based on 2021-22 financial returns for 70 UUK members in England and Northern Ireland and found that about 40 per cent are expected to be in deficit in 2023-24, falling to 19 per cent by 2025-26.

However, Paul Kett, a former senior Department for Education official who now advises PwC on education, said the numbers reflected assumptions about spending and income growth that now looked highly optimistic given the policy environment.

The PwC analysis found that if the growth in international students stagnated in the 2024-25 academic year, the proportion of universities in financial deficit would rise from 19 per cent to 27 per cent — but if numbers started to fall between 13 and 18 per cent

Governor17:
On October 10 2022, I went for a B1/B2 visa interview. The purpose of my visit was to purchase a loom machine and also attend a three-day workshop held by the same manufacturer from whom I had been planned to buy the machine. I am the procurement manager for a firm owned by my wife, and I was to travel to purchase a new machine for my company as well as attend a three-day class organized by the company. When I arrived at the interview, I just had 4 minutes before the consular officer denied my visa and advised me to try again later. Non of my documents was checked.

I was only asked this 2 questions.

1. Ques: what’s the Purpose of my trip?
Answer: I’m traveling to purchase a loom and attend a short course?

Ques 2: Tell me about your company.

Ans: told him the name of the company and what we do.

To my surprise, the next thing I heard was....you are not eligible for this kinda bla bla. He asked me nothing bout my wife and none of my documents was checked

Then I asked him why, so he asked me if have been out of the country before, I said no

I will need to reapply. And I need your candid guidance on how to navigate my next interview and I also need to know what went wrong? Thanks

do you have previous travel history

Couldn’t provide bank statement because he wasn’t in Nigeria and showed 15k usd cash. This guy is a joker. In this day and age of online bank statements. Abegi

If you don’t have your full tuition like you claimed in your application then anything your eyes see na your problem. Alot of Nigerians have not been able to meet up with their fees yet more people are still trying same route. Pure madness

Princezibk:

Ontario is set to bar employers from requiring Canadian work experience. It could open the door for some immigrants – but employment discrimination isn't black and white.

they can see it from your resume. How will a candidate be able to prove they were not shortlisted due to lack of Canadian experience.
