Travel / Re: UK Skilled Worker Visa / Health And Care Worker Visa / Qualified Teacher Route by gistbite(f): 3:45am On Jan 07, 2022
Hello house, I'd like to get a certificate in support Care for the elderly preferably online. Note, I'm already here on dependant Visa and I have an interview with an agency that promises to train me while I have work for them. I just want to be certified early so I can hopefully switch to a work visa.
Thank you.

Why not ask on the UK thread, they would be able to help you better with getting a job since you are not restricted by the 20hrs per week rule seeing you are on a student dependant visa. You only just relocated to the UK on the 8th of December, why the sudden change of mind to move to Canada? Just take things slowly or better still try the Canada express entry while waiting for your significant other to finish his course.
Thank you. We are just trying to get information on our options. I thought express entry was on hold?

you are better of applying yourself. the so-called agencies will chop your money ( over 10k pounds) and no guarantees. It's easier to get a UK work permit than Canadian self.

Oh. How do I go about getting a uk work permit?

Hello, Richdee. Thank you for your comment. Having a care certificate should normally be of a greater advantage to boost one's chances of getting a Care Worker job in this HACW visa route. However, I can't vouch for Kope-medics meeting the expectations of providing CoS and accommodation for 3 months, especially as this might be quite competitive due to high demands. Hopefully this new law that's about to come into effect will not make it mandatory for those applying for Care Worker jobs to have care certificates and prior experience. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!cheesy

If you are already in the Uk on dependant Visa, which care worker certificate should one get to move to skilled worker visa? Thank you

Same with mine oo, they were all surprised and one said imagine paying that much for this cold country grin grin. One needs to let them know that migrants are not their problem when it comes to accessing benefits.

No recourse to public funds and we pay through our nose to get ILR, then no send us work sha.

Now imagine a Family of 5 on the 10yr route,
Student Msc
PSW
Student (Msc) partner

Student (phd)
ILR
British citizenship

Does post graduate visa counts towards the 5years road to ILR? My family of three started this journey in October this year.

Hi everyone,

My SOWP application and SP applications for my 3 children were refused sometime in September 2021. I applied for GCMS notes on October 1st and received the notes today (December 11th). It took about 71 days for the notes to arrive.

The VO's main reasons for refusal have been quoted below:

“Adult male and 3 children intending to join spouse/parent in Cda, currently in status studying a Masters. I note that spouse’s application was submitted.

On that application, husband and 3 children were listed as non-accompanying.

No guarantee that either will find work to support themselves and 3 children. Given that all deps were listed as non-accompanying and that SP adult recently arrived in Cda, I question the truthfulness of that original statement. Entire family travelling together reduces socio-economic ties to Nigeria. On balance, reviewing all documents before me including information available in the original SP application for adult female, I am not satisfied that PA would respect T&C of entry and leave Cda by the end of an authorized stay.”

Please, GURUS in the house should suggest how I can tackle the refusal reasons.

Please, if you have found yourself in a similar situation, how did you come out?

Thank you in advance of your useful comments.

(Pls note: Wifey travelled to Canny since early Septemer 2021)

You have to wait for her to get a job
she should included that you guys were joining her later.

I think on the 20th they’ll lift the ban and allow people quarantine in their homes or something. You see that £2400 no be me and them go pay am, I’ll rather use it to pay for priority and the thing that make me pay for priority won’t make me pay their quarantine money, Awon ole.
I hope so. I just couldn't wait. My experience here is different from what people are saying online. I got to the hotel yesterday afternoon and they brought dinner that I couldn't eat. I told them my food preference and they brought it today.

How about those who can not afford it? How about those who has a place to quarantine but was forced to pay £2585 in 10days and at the end test negative?

People who have tested negative 48/24hrs before arriving or 2days after arriving should not be forced to pay that stupid money.

You decided to come to the UK after the rule was introduced then it’s your problem, pay whatever you are asked to pay because you knew the consequences of your trip but for those who got caught out while away should be allowed to quarantine in their homes.

I planned to go through out countries not in red list but I have changed my mind. We will sort ourselves out at Heathrow airport when I get there because that money is not coming out of my bank account.

You will be fined 4K or 10k pounds and still pay for the hotel. It will also go on your record and affect future applications in the uk.

There are people trying to reunite with their families, resume school or begin their careers. So, getting into the Uk ASAP is very important to them. Although, I still think it's better to spend that time and money chilling in a more deserving country instead of being locked up in a hotel/prison with their rubbish food for 10 days. To each, their own
