My aunt just paid for her son to go abroad. She was like staying there and not working is safer than leaving her son in Nigeria wrote SARS will kill him for her. Some people are willing to pay that price just because Nigeria is not it at all!

AirBay:
Maybe, not 100% sure. I can try to get the contact number of the agent. The agent and the landlord are both Nigerians.

AirBay:
No sir, I clearly remember my bills excludes water bills and it was stated on the agreement BUT unfortunately I did not take the tenancy agreement papers with me when I left.

AirBay:
Yes, everything was on the tenancy agreement, all to be paid except council tax and water bills. Yes both of our names were on the agreement.

Well the school route is one of the easiest ways to get into the UK...I think most people are more interested in the 2 years post graduation bonus...naija is hard with increasing crime rates...so anybody who prefers the UK, who thinks they can get a head start with studying here and can afford to should take the chance o...

LagosismyHome:
I dont get why universities are not offering discount.... not fair especially those who started in January. This model is not what they signed up for especially those with practically element to their course

Job after graduation is another tricky thing.... all this lockdown means more jobs are at risky. Those with UK experience no job, then what hope Is there for those without UK experience

DisGuy:
I really pity international student especially, paid thousands to be locked up receiving lectures online, some unlucky to be in the most hit region with no chance of part time work

these unis didn't even offer discount and I'm sure they will be getting extra funding from the government!! good thing there is the 2 year post study

jesmond3945:
google is your friend bro. Even in BAME their is an order of preference.

DisGuy:
What say you about this new lockdown...

jesmond3945:
My point is this in uk, you are judged by were you come from and you would always be boxed with the box called BAME were preference is given to indians and asians before you. So after spending so much on studies you would end up doing menial jobs like security, driving, factory and care as a black coupled with heavy taxation. Also the social climate is very unfriendly and tasteless. This is unlike northern america were you are rewarded based on your skills and a more friendly climate. If you are not a doctor, nurse or it person na menial job you go dey do.

Kekereekun123:
some citizens too are finding it hard getting jobs.

Kekereekun123:
it is not easy getting jobs that will qualify one for work permit after the 2 years. Its just a scam to make more people come. You are likely to do uber or security job for that 2 years and get kicked out

sweetmelanin:
This is completely FALSE.
You obviously didn't read the write up. Post study work permit has now been re-introduced.

ednut1:
i have lots of ex colleagues who are working as auditors in uk. Pwc, delliote, kpmg and co. But are all doing canada pr or have left. Dont you think there must be a reason. After 3 to 4 years on work permit, they may deny you permanent residency based on flimsy excuses. No one wants to be in that situation. Similarly alot of Indians immigrants with good jobs in usa are doing canada express entry because of trump. Its not rocket science

sweetmelanin:
I see a plethora of individuals speaking ill of the UK on this platform... for example there's an active thread in this section where a man is asking for other countries to move his family too, and a number of folks have discouraged him from considering the UK...

Allegory:
Please can we stop the excessive requests for whatsapp groups. Everyone wants to be added to whatsapp group, even newbies, so what's the point of this thread?

Please do all your whatsapp/telegram group requests in the DMs so that the thread won't be filled up with so much unimportant info. I'd be reporting any future whatsapp group requests I see and please do so too if you hate seeing them as much as I do. Or we can as well change the thread handle to the whatsapp group request thread. @justwise biko help

After searching nairaland travel section for architects/ architecture students living/studying in Canada. I decided to open this thread for Architects to learn how to get admission in schools in Canada/work, best province to consider and share useful information. Thanks

The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) is a community-driven pilot program. This program is designed to attract new immigrants from other countries as well as from urban parts of Canada and stimulate economic growth in rural communities by offering permanent residency to skilled immigrants. The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) is one of the easiest ways to immigrate to Canada. Getting your permanent residency via this immigration pilot program is very easy.

With this new program, you can get a job anywhere in Canada and you are allowed to move with your entire family.
• Does not require a high IELTS score (5.0 is okay)
• You get a job almost immediately
• Only 12 months of previous work experience required
• Age does not matter
• No proof of funds required
• Only 2 years of post-secondary education required e.g. OND
• Not based on points (like Express Entry)
Many Nigerians are already using this method to relocate to Canada but like other immigration channels, it will soon become highly competitive.
And that is why the time to learn more about it and start processing it is now.

I will be posting useful informations about this pathway on this thread.

Hello people,

I got an offer for masters in De Montfort University, Leicester (January). I'd like to get opinions about staying in school accommodation while working on jobs. Should a prospective student who wants to work alongside rule out staying in school accommodation?? Also, what's the job market like in Leicester? What kind of jobs are easy to get there? What should I expect living in Leicester?
Thanks.

@Justwise, I think the antispam bot hid one of my posts and banned me for 24 hours. Can the post be retrieved, please. Thanks.

Soknown:
You are welcome, If you are considering room share, spareroom and roomforlet are your best bet. You could request for ensuite room for more convenience if you are a lady.

You can also put your name down for the hospital accommodation, I mean the at the Redhill hospital. Just to give you time to check for a convenient room in town after which you can move out. Personally I never liked the hospital accommodation, because you get the feeling that you are still at work even after close of work since you are on the hospital ground. So I did not apply for it.

If you have like-minded or friends in your cohort, 2 or 3 of you can pull fund together to rent a flat, then share the rooms according to your numbers and the Bills.

Finally, Ask your colleagues, some might be looking for housemates.

canadaishome:
I just found out that there is no more limit for postgraduate studies in the UK.
That means you can do two master programs back to back

Just thought to share

Guys I need your advise.

I received decision mail (priority service) on the 15th October, up till now I haven't received a collection mail.
The tracker shows it hasnt been "Transferred to VAC" which I find odd.

I called on the 20th, the lady says I should wait till next week, that the priority only guarantees a decision will be made within 5 working days, but doenst guarantee delivery within the time frame. Which is rubbish!

I am aware the TLS offices are closed, but something should have happened at least. Does anyone have any idea when the offices will be open?

I intend to go to the UK embassy in lagos to make complaints next week, the moment offices open.
