Russia is making so much profit from d war. The only thing they don't want to lose is their indegenous manpower. Their industries have revived during this war

Las Las, after killing themselves and drastically reduce their population, either Ukraine or Russia would give us express entry into their countries.
Japa will become easier.
UK, USA, Canada market will not move.

otherway:
Japaying is always the best if you are going with rights to work.

Wether UK, America, anywhere as long as you have the right to live and work.

Most of those people saying abroad hard have no documents to live and work.
For instance, in UK, with postgraduate study visa of 18months you go save about 40 Million naira in just that 18months

Because you have rights to work you can do two jobs making like 2500 after tax

You rent all inclusive bills room for 600

Eat with 200

Transport and phone data 100

Miscellaneous 300

That is 1200 remaining 1300

Save 1300 x 18 =£23,400 about 55M

Is that not a good investment?

This is the best comment so far but only if you are truly in uk and not hearsay or you are not a travel agent.
I've been thinking about how one can get back his money in case one couldn't get sponsorship for job in uk and this comment gives me hope.
Thanks for sharing sir.

Some people here knows nothing about those countries they suggested.
How can 20M take someone to Canada where even living cost is more than 2M per month and job is scarce.

Australia is more affordable than New Zealand but difficult to get pr.
Switzerland is expensive.
Finland and Ireland are joke.
New Zealand has poor pay jobs (even the citizens are running away to Australia).

Your best bet with that amount is UK but the new changes in immigration rules has ruined it.
Unless you want to make more money within the 18 months after your masters and Japa to Canada.
Canada is the best but you need more funds (60M will do). Again, PR is becoming harder.

If not because of our corrupt politicians, why would a Nigerian be eager to leave a rich country like Nigeria?
Shame on our leaders.
May God punish every bad leader in this country.

Hi..

If you already know how to design Electrical drawings, you can learn RevitMEP on YouTube.

K

Thanks for your response sir.
I've seen much YouTube video but unfortunately I don't have the revitMEP app.
I downloaded it from Autodesk but it was asking for serial number and network number which I don't have because I needed a free version.

Please can someone help me on how to go about training on revitMEP as an electrical engineer?

Thanks in anticipation.

They are not typically called community colleges in Canada — that's an American term used to describe colleges located within cities.

Also, the notion that colleges are far cheaper than universities in Canada is far from accurate , especially for international students Keep in mind that international tuition fees are often three times what domestic students pay.

In general:

Tuition fees for international students range from CAD 10,000 to 15,000 per year.
You also need to budget another CAD 10,000 to 15,000 for living expenses (accommodation, food, transportation, personal costs, etc.).
So, if you want to study comfortably, you should plan to spend between CAD 20,000 and 30,000 per year all-inclusive.

When comparing costs:

Master’s program at a university may cost around CAD 15,000 to 20,000 per year
college program typically ranges from CAD 13,000 to 18,000 per year

As you can see, the difference is not very significant — maybe a CAD 2,000/year gap on average, which is relatively small when you consider what you might be gaining with a Master’s degree.

Also, many colleges and universities charge similar fees, depending on the program and province.

From a long-term perspective:

Master’s degree holders are eligible for more immigration pathways. For example, Ontario has a PNP stream specifically for Master’s graduates

Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) prioritize candidates with advanced degrees.

A Master’s degree gives you higher points in Express Entry — 135 points vs. 128 for a post-secondary diploma. Trust me you need all the points you can get

It also typically leads to higher salaries, faster career growth, and helps you stand out in Canada’s competitive job market.

I always advise people: If money is the issue, look for public universities with:

Lower tuition fees
Higher or moderate acceptance rates

For example, Memorial University (in Newfoundland and Labrador) is one of the most affordable in Canada. Last year, international Master’s students paid around CAD 3,222 to 4,833 per year — that’s less than 5 million Naira a year!

https://univcan.ca/about-universities-canada/facts-and-stats/tuition-fees-by-university/

With proper budgeting, you could complete a full Master’s program for under 15 million Naira total.

Plus, after graduation, if you get a job and meet the criteria, you may be eligible for the NL Provincial Nominee Program (NLPNP) under the International Graduate Category

Just remember

Always choose a school and program with a long-term goal in mind.
PR is not guaranteed.
Jobs are not easy — you’ll need to hustle and position yourself well.
So, it’s not just about selecting any school — you need to be strategic

I could say more, but I’ll stop here.

I always find it difficult to scroll past any comments from you, bobomaigida and other experienced commentators because your comments are all rich and handy tool for anyone really interested in this project.

God bless you all sirs and mas.

Hello good people.

I'm interested in masters program in Germany (English version). Please kindly advise me on how to start this process.

What should I do first?
Next and next?
How long would it take from start to getting visa?
Do Germany give job to graduates of courses in English?

Thanks in anticipation.

1. Your age is an issue, the visas that lead to residency/PR have a 55 year old age limit, so by the time you have spent the number of years required, you may not be eligible. So if your wife is younger, maybe she should apply.
2. If you had a Masters, I would have recommended a PHD because once you are done, you are on the fast lane to Residency then PR then Citizenship (again your age by that time might count against you).
3. If your spouse is younger, maybe she should apply? if she has a masters, maybe she should apply for a PHD which allows you all to live and work in NZ but it is pricey, for this route I recommend you use a PAID LICENSED immigration adviser and not IDP because IDP is just for the primary applicant that is going to study and it is free.
4. In your case, use a PAID LICENSED immigration adviser.

Please Note: THIS IS NOT IMMIGRATION ADVISE, JUST MY OWN PERSONAL OPINIONS.

I appreciate your time and advice.
Thank you sir.
More blessings.

Good day everyone applying to, intending to apply to or thinking about applying to New Zealand.

I thought about posting my journey after successfully landing in Aotearoa New Zealand, but something told me that was a lack of faith right there! So I shall be sharing my journey to the land of the Kiwi's as it progressess.

I am not a betting man, but I can see Aotearoa New Zealand overtaking many of the popular destinations in the future, that's if you can manage paying the fees in full (not compulsory if you are taking the AIP route - you apply for the visa first and if successful, you then pay the school fees, in full), and taking a two day trip in economy (or business ) class.

Had I know about Aotearoa New Zealand, I wouldn't have wasted money on Canadian study application fees and I would have started preparations earlier, I would have jejely done my IELTS Academic since and kept, (IELTS Academic is compulsory for Aotearoa New Zealand schools - my school required a minimum of 6 across all bands, and a 6.5 overall score) - so yeah you're gonna do that IELTS Academic, its not hard, its just English. At the time of posting this, it costs 266,000.00 Naira for the exam.

For the school fees, I got a hefty bursary of 15,000 NZD (I would have gotten a scholarship but as I didn't take my books seriously I missed it), anyway I said thank you Lord for giving me a sign! So try and see if you can get a scholarship or a bursary, and for this I would recommend using an agent, I used IDP (I hope this is not an advert, I am just sharing the steps I took), they don't charge a dime, you just know what you want to study and that makes the work easier.

1 NZD = 879 Naira

To be continued... Next update: Police Character Certificate and IOM X-Rays but after the public holidays.

Please can you kindly recommend the agent you are using? 🙏
Thanks sir.

I am 45 years old, Bachelor's degree, federal government staff, with a wife and 3 children.

I intend to do 1 year masters program (with Post study work) in NZ with my family.
Is this possible please?
Any advice is appreciated 🙏.
Thanks in anticipation.

Note:
To be honest, my intention is to Japa.

#100k only?
This is slavery job

Please where can I get an intense training on HVAC. Not just on air conditioner and fridges only but on heating and ventilation too.

Fire on the mountain.
God have mercy upon us!.

Immigration white paper to reduce migration and strengthen border
Radical reforms to Britain’s immigration system, restoring control to our borders and reducing record-high levels of net migration have been set out.

From:
Home Office and The Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP
Published
12 May 2025

Measures unveiled in the immigration white paper published today (Monday 12 May) will reshape our immigration system towards those who contribute most to economic growth, with higher skills standards for graduates and workers.

New requirements on employers to boost domestic training will end the reliance on international recruitment, restoring order to a failed system that saw net migration quadruple between 2019 and 2023.

Key policies in the 82 page blueprint, titled Restoring Control over the Immigration System, include the following:

reversing the long-term trend of increasing international recruitment at the expense of skills and training

the labour market evidence group will be established, drawing on the best data available in order to make informed decisions about the state of the labour market and the role that different policies should play, rather than always relying on migration

departments across government will engage sector bodies as part of this approach

Raising Skilled Worker threshold – skilled must mean skilled
Lifting the level for skilled workers back to RQF 6 (Graduate level) and above. Salary thresholds will rise.

The immigration salary list, which gives people discounts from salary thresholds, will be abolished.

Access to the points-based immigration system will be limited to occupations where there have been long term shortages, on a time limited basis, where the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) has advised it is justified, where there is a workforce strategy in place, and where employers seeking to recruit from abroad are committed to playing their part in increasing recruitment from the domestic workforce.

Adult social care
End overseas recruitment for social care visas. In line with our wider reforms to skills thresholds, we will close social care visas to new applications from abroad.

For a transition period until 2028, while the workforce strategy is being developed and rolled out, we will permit visa extensions and in-country switching for those already here. This will be kept under review.

Study
We will strengthen the requirements that all sponsoring institutions must meet in order to recruit international students.

We will introduce new interventions for sponsors who are close to failing their sponsor duties, including placing them on an action plan designed to improve their compliance, and imposing limits on the number of new international students they can recruit while they are subject to those plans.

We will reduce the ability for graduates to remain in the UK after their studies to a period of 18 months.

Family
We will tackle the over complex family and private life immigration arrangements, where too many cases are treated as ‘exceptional’ rather than having a clear framework.

Legislation will be brought forward to make clear it is the government and Parliament that decides who should have the right to remain in the UK. This will address cases where Article 8 right to family life legal arguments are being used to frustrate deportation where removal is clearly in the public interest.

Growth
We will go further in ensuring that the very highly skilled have opportunities to come to the UK and access our targeted routes for the brightest and best global talent.

This includes increasing the number of people arriving on our very high talent routes, alongside faster routes for bringing people to the UK who have the right skills and experience to supercharge UK growth in strategic industries.

This includes increasing places to our scheme for research interns, making it easier for top scientific and design talent to use our Global Talent visa, and reviewing our Innovator Founder visa and High Potential Individual route to maximise their benefit to the UK economy.

Tackling abuse
New policies will apply to individuals who claim asylum where conditions in their home country have not materially changed, particularly where they have claimed asylum after arrival.

Tighter visa controls, restrictions, requirements or scrutiny will be applied where we have evidence of abuse, based on a clear assessment of the risks.

Measures to ensure that other governments play their part in supporting the integrity of the UK immigration system – particularly where there are currently barriers in the way of us returning their nationals.

Innovative financial measures, penalties or sanctions, including for sponsors of migrant workers or students where there is evidence of abuse. These will incentivise them to act responsibly, with new measures to support compliance with visa conditions by migrants.

Foreign national offenders (FNOs)
Reform the deportation system to ensure the Home Office is informed of all foreign nationals convicted of offences – not just those who go to prison.

Review deportation thresholds to take into account a wider range of factors than just the length of sentence, and start by revising the statutory exceptions criteria to ensure that the deportation test reflects the seriousness of violence against women and girls.

English language
Introduce new English language requirements across a broader range of immigration routes, for both main applicants and their dependants, to ensure a better knowledge of English, including an assessment of improvements over time.

Earned settlement and citizenship
Double the standard qualifying period for settlement to 10 years.

Expand the points-based system to both our settlement and citizenship rules, so they are based on contribution to the UK, with further details to be set out to Parliament by the end of the year.

The policies outlined, part of the government’s Plan for Change, will be delivered over the course of this Parliament to strengthen the UK’s immigration system, with the first changes set to be introduced in the coming weeks.

The government will publish further reforms to the asylum system and border security later this summer, building on measures in the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill currently progressing through Parliament.
