The weather right now is quite warm. We are heading into cooler weather as the leaves have started to turn yellow and fall off the trees. Best time to arrive in Canada.

Can we help you with any information or resource about coming to Canada? Ask.

Vessi:
Greetings. I'm coming to Canada for Msc in Pharmacy related career. What province is most suitable for favourable weather, cheap cost of living, cheap tuition for international student and good job prospects on completing my Post-Graduate(Pharmaceuticals).

Greetings to all nairalanders here. I am a graduate with biochemistry background. I will like to inquire from you on how I can get an headway in applying to a university in canada. I just need clues on schools that offers postgraduate diploma before heading for masters. This arose because canadian schools are highly competitive, chances for an admission to msc is obviously slim for a second class (lower division) candidates.... Please, my people help me out !!! Searched on Google but couldn't get anything concrete. Public Health is my desired course for masters.

I got an offer for an unpaid internship in a museum as a business performance analyst, is it worth it considering my interest are in investment and banking together with few years banking experience in nigeria and am almost done with my pogram presently considering moving back in 2 weeks to start job hunting. Your feedback would highly be appreciated

Phema:
Each date could vary by a few thousands. I guess this depends on the demand for that date.

Phema:
Yes. For some dates though. And it seems to have increased to about 104k

Yes, the waiting is ridiculous. They spend too much time talking to customers after serving them.

1-Have you been issued any visa for the UK, UK Overseas Territories or Commonwealth in the last 10 years?

2-Have you travelled outside your country of residence, excluding to the UK or a Commonwealth Country, in the last 10 years?

What I have learnt so far and tips for newbies:

- one of the first things you must do is to head to primark and get appropriate clothing. Get a jacket, warmer abi na skull cap, gloves, scarf. All the cloth u brought from Nigeria is useless, maybe except ur underwear.
-Always plan ahead for trips involving trains and coaches. Its cheaper buying tickets online days before you travel. Spent owo omogo taking virgin train from london to chester and back. Plus impromptu visits to friends in london. Wasted cash. From now onwards, I will only visit people if they give me two weeks notice so I can buy ticket beforehand. If dey dont inform me on time, then they will have to pay for it.
- travel coach for long distances. A coach is the equivalent of ekenedillichukwu in nigeria, but much safer and smartly run. Its very cheap. Spent £40 pounds on a train trip from london to chester, A coach trip costs £28, £14 if u book early. The train is faster but where the hell re u rushing too anyway.
- if u re a hustler, ur priority must be getting any accomodation. Because sans accommodation is sans bank account is sans national insurance number is sans job, savvy?
- if u ve not left nigeria now, pls bring food wen coming, if u re allowed 2 bags of 25kg each , pls dedicate 1 bag to nigerian food, I beg u, dont say I did not tell u o. Dere food here is nonsense. Bought fish and chips this morning, d idiot poured vinegar on it ( vinegar o, imagine eating dundun with vinegar) had to throw it away, bought chicken kebab, d tin no even resemble chicken to start with. Threw that one away too, so invariably the only tini have eaten is the food I eat in a friends place on saturday.
- make friends quick, dose oyinbo ppl mo bose nlo, dey re students too so dey can giv u budgeting tips. After all dey re playing home while u re away, savvy?
More later

The University is asking that I re apply for a new admission letter bearing the January start date.

MallamYahaya:
Hello @Justwise and other distinguished members of the House, please how do I pay my tuition. My visa debit card was declned. I contacted Diamond Bank and was told that my limit is below the 50% tuition I am supposed to pay. Since Monday, diamond bank has been posting me and have not provided a solution. I don't have online banking access Andy funds are trapped in their bank. Please what do I do.
