LiteratureHow The Phrase Or Expression "Crocodile Tears" Came About. by Jeboy(op): 5:18pm On Apr 27
When a crocodile catches its prey and begins to devour it, it cries.

The leading hypothesis is that, the eating generates an airflow through the sinus cavity which stimulates the tear glands from its eyes.

So the tears from the eyes aren't emotional but simply a mechanical response triggered by the act of swallowing.

That is exactly what the expression '' Crocodile Tears" comes from which is often used to describe grief that isn't real.

All of you ranting Fubara should not honour the invitation are still going to be the people that will insult him when SoE is extended by his non-appearance. The tide is against him now and he has to cooperate to reduce the collateral damage thrown at him.

Remember Fubara made the first mistake of trying to eat with the devil via godfatherism and later change the script planned by the godfather. He should be man enough to take all the shit that comes with the path he has chosen. Following empty political talkers will be his undoing. Fubara should humble himself and do the needful and get back to governor back in 5 months time. I hope he has learnt his lessons.

I am a core Obedient but some of the courage I have seen Asiwaju exhibit in a complex secular state like Nigeria, it will take 5 Peter Obi to take that route.

Looks like an Asiwaju needs to be president 1st to clear a very rough political terrain overtaken by Northerners and Southern political collaborators so that an Obi type (normal kind of politician) can give good dividends. These guys would have grounded Obi if he had won the elections.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Jeboy(m): 6:26pm On Mar 27, 2025
All Masters programme irrespective of length a year, 16months or 2 years gets 3 years PGWP. That was earlier implemented before all these recent change. It's only College that needs two certificate programs (at least 8 months length each) or a 16month diploma program to qualify for 3 year PGWP.

ChiXi:
Hi, I have a question, it's about PGWP, with the recent changes, if I am aiming for the 3 years PGWP, will the graduate diploma or certificate program (like 1 year) be sufficient to apply or I need to focus on masters (2 years) program if my aim is the 3 years PGWP?

That is how IRCC manage their tracker, the most important section is the Eligibility. Where there is a refusal or approval, other section might still be pending but the Eligibility will be surely completed to show the Application is no longer opened but closed.

Hi Guys, I need clarification please.

Reason was my purpose of visit isnt for temporary purpose , I have also requested for GCMS note.
However in the tracker ( New IRcc New Version) it says Eligibility - completed and Background check is still "In Progress even after decision was taken. Has anyone experienced such and what could be the reason.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Jeboy(m): 4:56pm On Mar 19, 2025
Absolutely. My guy summarized and nailed the point.

Uche can also give us stats of how many people he knows that have gotten EE from Nigeria.

My secondary class mate was head of IT Payment dept in a FinTech with his many years in IT and Masters degrees, French saved him to get QC nomination. He had to study for a year. Not many of us can pass through that mental stress. If I hear Ques Qes Ces like this, I don japaa lolz

Bobomaigida:
Uche, the poster did not post any misleading information, what he has stated is the fact on ground, which is to use EE from outside Canada, you will need to have French proficiency which alot of people do not have, if you decide to learn it, it might take up to 6 months to get a mastery if you have a knack for languages. Which leaves the Study route as the most available one for us though it is now expensive and has many restrictions.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Jeboy(m): 4:48pm On Mar 19, 2025
How do you apply for Express Entry when most of the score are in Canadian Working experience, Canadian education and your English test will also give you additional marks in these areas?

It means you technically are at disadvantage if you don't have access to Canada to get education and work experience.

I know so many people in the EE pool for several years that didn't get ITA but once they took the bold step to get a study in Canada and get a job (which itself is not easy), they got ITA after getting into Canada to get the education and work experience advantage.

So EE favour's 80% of the people living in Canada and ONLY 20% of people living outside Canada.

Though am not saying it's not possible from outside but u need to work in top organizations like MTN for many years, have good IT skills and apply in a less competitive Canadian province that needs your work experience. All these criteria are even higher now with lower reduction rate to PR if you are applying from outside.

Only French folks stand a slightly better chance applying from outside Canada

uchennay:
People like you are misleading many into taking the student route and getting stranded or option for asylum . L know student in Canada with huge debt because people like you make it seem easy to get PR through the study route, which is a total falsehood. Many students are stranded now, or in huge debt, running a second program or option for asylum. After graduating, it's even difficult to get work in the required profession to gain experience. Some have to pay for jobs they've never done just to accumulate the experience required for Express Entry nomination. A shorter and less expensive path, such as learning French or taking a short course like a diploma in IT to gain a second certificate, could be a better option to relocate via express entry . We know all the difficulties students face in Canada, but you're here making baseless fantasy claims. Meanwhile, many people are landing PR through the French route, even a 40-year-old man with zero travel experience received an invitation in the last French draw, while their mates in school in Canada are still struggling to raise money for school fees at a time when getting work is extremely difficult in canada. Let's always share the truth. Even the government's projected numbers show that the majority inside will struggle for PR.

What is the offfence with these because I see you branding judgement. Please just quote the criminal code she broke as an offender and the jail term. You are the one that is been emotional here.

Goldeno:

Let me ask you all, if a goverment official in America were to be suspended for misconduct and the official still self fund them self to an international meeting claiming to represent the country and then in the process deliberately tarnishing America international image, what do you think they will do to such official?

Say they suspend their UN ambassador and she still took herself their and while their try to sabotage their image, do you think Americans will give her a heros welcome?

I think She should be arrested, stripped of all government privileges and access, banned from all government positions, and made to serve jail time. This is a national protocol breach, its even national security breach

She could have easily go on to agree on deals, vote on behalf of the country.

I believe before government officials go outside to represent their country there is always a briefing, what to do, what to say, what position to take on matters, what vote to cast, because they are not their to represent themselves or their own opinions but that of their country

What about the students and legit immigrants already in Canada?..let's even leave those who are yet to come.

They allowed them come to school in Canada with the hope of easy pathway to PGWP and SOWP and now they changed the goal post midway
That's not fair at all to Intl students who came to invest in education. I expect the new minister from Moroccan descent to reduce some tough policies Miller introduced. against Intl Student. They are not entirely responsible for the problems in Canada..

orjohn24:
It’s going to be tough, and it may not favor immigrants if she wants to increase her party's chances. With the federal election likely happening within the next two months as the new prime plan to call an early election , the Liberals will need to act quickly. Currently, Liberal ratings aren’t favorable, and immigration with the economic is a major issue. Even recent poll show that Over 80% of newcomers feel Canada is bringing in too many people without proper planning, and most Canadians believe immigration levels are too high. To improve her party’s image, she’ll need to take decisive actions, such as reducing immigration numbers, deporting overstayers, and cutting student visas. These steps may be the only way to secure a win, or else Pierre Poilievre Conservatives will win the next election

TravelRe: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Jeboy(m):
From your application history, the visa officer has flagged you of not showing evidence for the funds source.

Whatever you do, if that suspicion is not dealth with, you may end up getting the same decision.

Get someone who is legally financial stable and is sponsoring you to share their source of funds as someone above said if they are the one supporting you. Otherwise you will need to show how you source the fund yourself if you re self sponsoring. I don't think it is too much to ask by the visa officer.

Canada don't want money from untraceable source as inflow into Canada. It could be money from ML/FT sources so no matter what you do if you don't prove its source you haven't done anything.

BarbieGoldD:
Kindly clarify my on this question too.

My first and second application was refused because of finances, not been able to prove source of funds and how the money in the account was accumulated. I used Naira account on both the first and second POF, but now I want to use a Canadian bank draft for my POF.
I have paid my first semester tution fee, i want to put 35CAD on the Canadian bank draft as my remaining tution fee and living expenses. Because I heard it serves as GIC purpose too.

My question is
1. Do i have to show a naira account to proof source of funds too? If yes, like how much should I show in the naira account? With what opening and closing balance?
2. If i attach only Canadian bank draft as my only POF with 35 CAD, what documents will I need to provide to show how the money was accumulated and to convince the Visa officer that I actually have access to the money.
3. I also want to prove that I do business and work. Do i need separate business account for it and also have seperate account that shows my salary earnings?

Your inputs and guidance will be highly appreciated as this is my third application, i want to get it this time around.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Jeboy(m): 4:42pm On Mar 13, 2025
The 16 month duration criteria is for spouse or family accompanying the main applicant via SOWP or family work permit not really for the PGWP itself.

To qualify for PGWP is automatic for all Doctoral
Masters and undergraduate Degree programme. Only Colleges or non undergraduate programs from Universities requires specific programme (STEM, Health, Agric, Construction and Early Childhood Education) to qualify for PGWP.

Bobomaigida:
Yes, please ensure the programme is 16 months long in duration so the student can qualify for PGWP after studies.

My former colleague applied from UK in Feb last year. As at last month (about a year) approval was yet to drop until I asked him to attach an update on his UK job (50k pounds per year) he got and then the vacation trip to Europe they had.

Immediately he did the above, PPR dropped after 2 weeks.

Their PoF is about 40k CAD for family of four.

Bruno678:
Maybe you should re-read your own post in Nov 2024 self 😄.
For clarity sake, i never said a Nigerian cannot travel back home! A work permit is a temporary visa and if you or anyone has one, you will be told at port of entry that anytime you travel out of canada, it will be revalidated and re+issued. So, with stricter rules around Canadian immigration, i mentioned that the concern should be on re-entry cos border officer now have authority to cancel and deny. I remembered someone being asked a few questions where as, i was asked none. Of course, i didn't wait to know whether he is eventually given. In fact, we met there and as guys, startled talking n which led to me knowing what happened btw him n the officer n stuff.
Temporary visa is temporary, until things get soft with immigration, my opinion is be mindful. Thanks
