Good evening.
I specifically opened a new account for my JAPA dream.
Please does graduate assistantships cover full tuitions or just a waiver

Graduate assistantships cover full tuition and if you are lucky, living stipend might be added to it.

However, there are some programs where tuition waivers are impossible. You need to make research on that

Prost.

GodsGabby:
Hadampson abeg confirm.

richmond500:
Seychelles no good reach Nigeria o, they may have higher GDP ratio but does not spread evenly due to corruption.

Nigeria is better than all those countries listed

Maybe in insecurity, banditry and terrorism

Spiff20:
Can you imagine? Almost all the countries listed are small islands like Bonny Island in Rivers State with poor infrastructure, no jobs only quality education.

You don't know what you are saying sir

Seychelles has good infrastructure, abundant jobs and good security system just to mention a few

How to go about scholarships and schools by Dr Olumuyiwa Igbalajobi

1. Search for your course of study on google in the country of choice, e.g schools with Msc in Microbiology in Canada/Germany

2. Click and navigate to the department/faculty homepage

3. Look for graduate admission and requirements. Read carefully and checkout their funding options.

4. Most schools do require you contact a supervisor prior to your application. List of faculty members with their contact details and areas of specialization are always on the graduate admission page. Carefully draft a cover letter indicating your interest in the group/lab and attach your CV and transcript with the mail. Do not rush to send the email. Read over and over again for typo.

5. You can use the same cover letter for different schools with few adjustments which aligns your research interest with that of the proposed group. Avoid generic cover letter.

6. Apply to many schools/ countries and do not be disappointed if you receive no reply or even negative ones. It's part of the process.

The end.

jizzyjordan:
yeah I concur especially with the no6. I heard been really good at a particular sport can get you a citizenship without stress

That's right
I just hope Lasisi bamidele is lucky sha cos we know how tough it is to get UAE citizenship.

Brawlscartel:
Bro how is Portugal PR easy... please explain....

Portugal don't have a stringent laws for prospective immigrants like Norway. You get PR after 5 years but you get PR after 3 years in Norway. Norway is very strict with their immigration laws and rules. Every year, you need to apply for TRP and they won't grant it if you don't have the required amount of money in your account

GodsGabby:
Seychelles is visa free for nigerians and one the strongest African passport in the world.

No collect our "Giant of africa" tittle give another country biko. Allow make we hold m dey console ourselves ��

Reason why i called SA ordinary not really for anthing bad but cos we are all Africans per say.
One thing these develop countries look out in visa processing is the ECONOMY of the country they are applying from...speaking from experience.
As long as you ain't in Nigeria, your chances of getting any visa of your choice is high.
If you are in nigeria, na prayers go full your package.

We don't deserve that title, South Africa and Egypt deserve it more than Nigeria cos they are making progress

@bolded.. That's one of the reasons why i have it in mind to apply from another African country

GodsGabby:
Well this is true.
Besides, i thought we were talking about just schooling and not to PR process level tho.
Norway is second to Germany in terms of development and all that and you can move to germany from there reason why i said that.

Having PR in places where to integrate will take a long while is kinda uneasy too except like you said one needs to be ready to take whatever step needed including learning their language.
I love your Energy too.




Errrrmmmm...
Norway get stockfish ooo incase you wan change mind����

Yes you are right. It's easy to move from Norway to Germany. Same applies to Portugal, you know it's one of the countries in Schengen zone

Yes, one has to be prepared for any challenge, language learning inclusive

I'm a meat lover so no thanks

There are some ways to become a permanent resident/citizen of a country.

They are as follows;

1) Job offer - If an employer is willing to apply for an immigrant stay. I have seen a case of a guy who got employed on LinkedIn by a swedish man.

2) Marriage - This is the easiest way to become a permanent resident or citizen of a country. If you marry a Spaniard, you become a citizen after a year of marriage.

3) Child birth - If you give birth in brazil, the child automatically gets citizenship and permanent residence given to the parents (if they are foreigners, regardless of legal status in Brazil) and you can apply for Brazillian citizenship after one year of legal residence. Brazillian passport gives admission to over 140 countries visa free (including the UK, Ireland, whole of EU)

4) Investment - If you have money, i mean real money, you can invest in USA, Australia, Austria, Canada etc but if you have less money to invest, then focus on tropical carribean countries, with $100,000, you can become a citizen by investment

5) Asylum - Well, this is not easy to get like before. Despite that, the LGBTIQ folks are still getting the asylum in Canada and other countries. We know majority of Nigerians are homophobic so it kinda make it easy for LGBT people to get asylum on the basis of that.

6) Being exceptionally good at a sport - I have heard of this

7) Education - It's very important to make research to know the immigration policy of a country before moving there. Canada, Germany, Scandinavian nations, USA, Australia, NZ etc offer a path to permanent residency after study

8.) Applying as a skilled migrant by following through the country's process. Canada, Australia and New zealand have such programs in place

9. Humanitarian grounds - if removing an immigrant would endanger the person's health etc

Thread on how to apply for Swiss government excellence fellowship by Sanya Jain (her twitter handle is sjay_yayy)

-1/ Types of scholarship offered:

Research (pre-doctoral, doctoral, post-doctoral). A master’s degree is required to apply for this.

Arts: For students who wish to pursue a Master’s degree in a Swiss university or conservatory.....

- 2/ Visit the scholarship website (mentioned in the image below) to see what conditions apply for YOUR country:

Select your country from the list (see the video below). https:/ /t. co /W3aoaqBFfc

-Download the application documents. These documents will tell you the APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

-Eligibility and selection criteria

-Timeframe of the application

-Universities where you should contact your host supervisor

-Deadline


- Contact information (email ID) to get the relevant application forms (personal information form, research proposal form, letter of recommendation forms, medical health form etc.) that you will SUBMIT. For example, check the 2nd image attached

https:/ /t. co /Av6GwA9ATa

3/ When you contact the Swiss representation in your country, you will receive the following documents:

- Guidelines for applicants (what all you need to submit and how many copies and the AMOUNT of the SCHOLARSHIP).

- Letter of recommendation form

-Medical health certificate form

-Personal information form

-Research proposal form

-Guidelines on how to find a supervisor



- 4/ Once you know which universities are eligible for this scholarship, you can start cold-emailing your potential supervisors.

She recently wrote a thread on how to write successful cold emails, if you are on Twitter, search for her username and check for the thread. Also check the 3rd image, attached to know how it is being written.

This format has worked out really well.

When you cold-email the supervisor, explicitly state that you are applying for this fellowship so that they know you will come with your own funding. If you want additional funding, this has to be discussed amongst you, your supervisor and FCS (the scholarship granting authority).

- 5/ Once they have agreed to host you, share all the relevant information with them that they need to know as a supervisor.... You can share the “Will you be my supervisor” document with the prof. that you will receive from the Swiss embassy. This will ensure that there are no misunderstandings about funding and other requirements. You will need a letter of invitation from them that you will SUBMIT along with other documents. Make sure they are ready to write that letter for you (and a STRONG one)!

6/ SUBMIT the application to the address mentioned in the application document downloaded by you (see 2/).... 7/ Wait till approx. March 2022 for the decision.

CHILL, you have done your best!
The best part is that the application cost is ZERO.

True
Thanks

If you are interested in Poland, talk to Subomi007

GodsGabby:
Add Norway in place of Portugal.
And these countries you listed have language barriers which is needed for you to integrate well into their system.
Except like said, you just need them as a stepping stone.

Norway is the 2nd most expensive country to live in. It's way too expensive for someone who want to economize like me

Portugal on the other hand is cheaper than Norway. Plus it's easier to get PR in Portugal than in Norway.

I always say this, language can never be a barrier. It's an added advantage. Since we don't have the required amount of money to enter our dream country, there's no harm in learning the language of the country you want to choose as a stepping stone.

GodsGabby:
All these just boils down to the "NIGERIA FACTOR".
They see Nigerians as "japa" candidates.
Sometimes when you move to those africa countries, they require you to have stayed for like six month there.
Like the US embassy sometimes will send you back to apply from your home country if they see you came just for appointment there.

Ordinary SA dey take months to give nigerians visa, a whole giant of africa in the Mud.

Well let God help.

South Africa is not ordinary o and Nigeria is not the giant of Africa, Giant of Africa title should be awarded to either Egypt or South Africa. When you check positive indexes, you hardly find Nigeria on the top 10 list except for entertainment.

That is by the way. Some Nigerians have used other African countries to go to western world. In Seychelles for example, it's very easy to get visa over there cos the processing time is very fast if not the fastest in the whole of Africa. I heard it takes less than a day to get Schengen visa but i don't know if it's possible to get it as a resident in that country.

How i wish I was a Seychellois, i wouldn't have even thought of leaving the country.

daintyprincess:
Thanks for the thread.
Is it possible to always carry ourselves along especially for those that have common countries in mind and work towards both savings/scholarship while still acquiring skills (please drop if you know any). Seems like a lot of work but it's very possible.
I have just Germany in mind cause of the low school fee and intend to explore other countries after schooling but getting AD is becoming very difficult so thinking of branching which is faster but more expensive than going directly.
I'm working on getting my passport as that is the first step to take.

If you have other countries that fit into our common want(less money to migrate to and economically good), please share tips or direct us to the thread. Thank you

I have done my research and so far, i discovered that Poland, Portugal, Russia, Italy and Estonia have low tuition fees compared to other countries

Nowadays, most Nigerians are using Poland as a stepping stone to enter their dream country.

southniyikaye:
enlighten me more bro, cos right now, am at a cross road... Which African country will be best to move to?

I'm thinking Cameroon or Benin Republic because of their close proximity to Nigeria.

GodsGabby:
That's cos the only one they KINDA prioritize now with appointments is those going for phd or masters.

Even at that, it's not easy to get visa appointment. It's better to just go to Cameroon and apply for visa there

southniyikaye:
like how fit move person enter Germany? And what is the best way to go about it?

The only surest way is through study visa but unfortunately it's not easy to get visa appointment in the German embassy

If i have the money, i will move to another African country and apply from there

Number 1 thing. Even if you don't have money and you wish to travel, the very first thing you must put into consideration is the immigration policy/law of the country you planning/wishing to go.

Subomi007:
Money is important in this journey and its quite unfortunate, I could not continue my admission process because of funds, so I believe with enough funds one can easily japa without stress.

I'm hoping I can gather money to actualize the dream. Depression dey set in sef

Don't be depressed brother. Everybody have their timeline, let's wait for our time alright but while waiting it is very important to learn some life saving skills
