Is any nairalander studying in South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences or does any one knows more about the place/location?

pricelessmr: Congratulations! Princeolu, Wonderbob for the great news. Wishing u successful sojourn in deutchland.

Thank you Kelly4top, futurewise & co for the info on food in Germany. My wifey will be excited to know that there is something like garri in germo... She doesn't joke with swallow for me, I don't joke with chicken and red wine. It all means that living in Germany may be a win-win situation for us.

I follow this thread closely. Everyday, I see reason to relocate from naija. God help us.

Are you planning to bring ur wife too like me?

ChriGo: STEPS TO CANADA ONLINE VISA APPLICATION

Hey there, Tired of waiting, and feeling Frustrated with the Canada visa Paper route processing time?
The solution you need is right here. Online route is all you need to get going

Follow these easy steps:

1. Visit www.cic.gc.ca to register……Click on Apply online, you’ll get a prompt asking if you have applied before……Click NO……you get the next prompt asking “What are you applying for?”......Select STUDY PERMIT………you get another prompt asking “Have you used our online questionnaire to find out if you’re eligible to apply?”……your answer here should be NO since you’re applying for the first time, but if you’ve filled the questionnaire before then you can click YES.

2. After Clicking a NO to the Eligibilty Questionnaire question in step 1 then it takes you to an info Page……Just Click START……..Now that you’re on the getting started page…..Take your time to read the instructions……And then Click NEXT……Please fill in the Questionnaire correctly as these will be used to generate a Checklist code for you to upload your documents on your myCIC account.

3. After completely filling the Eligibility Questionnaire you will hit the “Review your answer page”……Please scan through to confirm your answers to the Questionnaire…….Then Click CONTINUE…………It will take you to a page were your CHECK LIST CODE is boldly written……the one I generated for mysef now is OX2980052333(plsssss this na my own code oooo,go generate your own biko).….Please copy your CODE or save that page or print that page……Just don’t misplace your own checklist code biko…..if you do, then you will have to fill another questionnaire all over again to generate another checklist code….. Please note that the checklist code you generated has expiry date(probably 2 months) so if you plan on generating the code make sure you use it before it expires else you would have to generate another.

4. Now that you have created your check list code the real application begins……you will have to re-iterate from Step 1 by visiting www.cic.gc.ca ….Click on Apply online, you get a prompt asking if you have applied before……Click NO……you get the next prompt asking “What are you applying for?”......Select STUDY PERMIT………you get another prompt asking “Have you used our online questionnaire to find out if you’re eligible to apply?” ……at the point click YES........It then ask you “Do you have a code that looks like this: QK4350881372?”……..Click YES…….Then it takes you to “Create myCIC account page”……Click START.........Now you’re at the page……Click GCKey Login…….since you do not have a Username and password yet then click REGISTER FOR A NEW GC-KEY........After you must have registered…..It takes you to terms and conditions page….Just click I ACCEPT……….

5. After clicking accept….it ask you if you already have a client ID which is also known as UCI number…..if you had previously applied to CDHC either through paper route or other route and you were given a UCI no please click YES…..but if you are just freshly applying to the Embassy then click NO…..Then it takes you to the Mycic Enrolment were you will fill your names, DOB, Country of birth, passport number……Then click CONTINUE…..Next is to create your security question …… click CONTINUE…….Then it ask for your email…..enter your email and click CONTINUE……. you get to your main cic page were you get to click APPLY ONLINE……….It ask you for the checklist code(remember the code we created at the beginning)…..

6. Enter your checklist code……..Now it takes you to the checklist questionnaire review page……Please note that you can still modify your questionnaire on the fly if you are not satisfied with some answers you provided…..all you need to do is click on MODIFY…….When you are done reviewing the page, click CONTINUE……Then it takes you to the part where you get to upload all you scanned documents……View the picture below to see what it looks like……

7. Please always click the question(?) attached to each upload section….example:- once you click the (?) attached to “Proof of Means of Financial Support” you will get these long lists
• your bank statements for the past four months
• a bank draft in convertible currency
• pay stubs
• an employment letter
• proof of assets or business
• proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees
• tax reports, declarations or statements
• proof of a student/education loan from a financial institution
• a letter from the person or institution providing you with money
• proof of funding paid from within Canada, if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program
• proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada

All you need to do is look for the documents you are able to provide on this list and then Copy and Paste them into a Microsoft word after scanning…..Save the document as PDF format in other to get a lower size pdf document…..if at the end you shrinked to pdf and you still have a larger size pdf, then please download a pdf compressor www.pdfcompressor.org

This is just for a section of Upload…..there are other Upload section(check the pics) were you need to also shrink documents to lower size….Please do this right and make your documents as clear as possible after shrinking.

When you are done uploading all docx......It takes you to the Review page.....Click CONTINUE.......Now you're at the payment page....Please make use of Zenith or First bank master card.....It has been tested and trusted to work on CIC platform.

Now that your application has been completed....always watch out for any message in your cic account....usually they notify you via your email of any pending message in your CIC account so always check your email regularly

Please note that these steps also apply to Visiting Visa application.....Just follow the Instructions for Visiting Lobatan!!!

take your time to study this well….Its practical so do not be scared to read all…..once you get going with it on your PC/Laptop you would see how easy it is to apply Online……Package your application well and then leave the rest to baba God…..GOD AINT SLEEPING

Cheers

ChriGo what about those that wants to apply sor study permit together with their wife open work permit and kid visa too cos i heard married students can now come with their spouse and kid and must apply together. In this online case how do they do it cos one will be applying fo study permit another open work permit while pickin go apply too. Abi na paper route fit them?

earthgreeners: Its a nice place... they gat Oil like Alberta and BC, their economy is reasonable... Saskatchwean is on the Prairie; just like Manitoba and Alberta, so expect some windchill in winter... Spencer is studying in Saskatchewan..and I also have a good friend out there

What of Memorial University Newfoundland?

Any body with useful info about University of Saskachewan and the city of Saskatoon in term of everything and job?. Any great nairalander there?

Bwave: Where do you see the full chicken for €2, you better state facts so that you don't decieve others who may come and see something different.You have the choice of starvation, so always use the standard three meals to make your analysis even if you eat only one meal a day. FYI malnutrition affects your concentration,memory and assimilation, so your self study may even be counter productive because of starvation, and massive reduction in weight no good for cold weather oo,moreover you may not like what you see on the mirror in a few weeks.if you can live on €60 in a month I wonder why you will be required to provide €8000 for you sustenance in a year. Mind the information you give out because people maybe making wrong assumptions based on your fallacy.

If I may ask, what trash are you talking about?. What part of Germany are you cos you sounds as if futurewise does not know what he is saying. I can attest to the fact that it's true so if u live in an area where you buy it at 100 euro pls don't transfer ur aggression here. keep it to your self. Who told you, you cant eat 3 square meals daily with 60 euros monthly if u are the cooking type. I don't even finish 50 euros per month on food and drinks. if u don chop ur 8k euros finish and u are broke, then look for job or something doing. Learn how to talk to people politely. What he said is true and you are the one based on fallacy.

futurewise11: if u see grease u go forget garri.i was introduce to it by my kenya room mate.its just like semo,but very strong like eba.i don even abadon my 10kg of semo sef.its easy and cheap.
for the chicken look for aldi or ask anybody inyour area for maukahft,super hun chicken is the real tin,just like our own agric chicken.its 1.85cent.
for fish go african shop 2 titus na 3 euro
red oil 2 euro,4 indomie 2 euro.so guy food is cheap if u buy at the right store.

Titus here na 0.55 cent here oh. No worry when u come this side again try chater am many. Just remind me.

magnus4life: @kellytop nice breakdown buh unlike UK hop u won't pay addition charges/bill on room acessibilities such as d runnin water, electricity, tv cabl ntwrk , etc?

Everything is inclusive in your total monthly bill of 254 euro which i pay. No hidden charge and no extra charges.

Any nairalander studying in University of Calgary or University of Alberta? Please kindly indicate.

apple08: Went thru Emirates.. ticket was 217k Naira. Abeg come prepared ooo cold dey, but inside warm sha cuz heater dey the rooms..

Check Turkish too.

I buy 8 big lap of chicken at 1.8 euros sef at koufland and full 1kg od pork meat at 1 euro. Greiss is something like garri not exactly garri but no difference. Today is 20th and the 35 euros i withdrew for food still remain. It was when i came newly i do spend alot on food cos i dont cook then.

Guys wey like chicken and pork meat make unua ready oh cos unua go chop cheap meat tire. Sometimes sef i just buy only chicken and cook as food to show u how the thing cheap. I no fit try am for naija cos i must hold like 2k. Another cheap thing here na drinks, juice wine and especially beer.

Accommodation here is expensive but cheaper in Northern Germany. My guy pays 180 euro bigger room than mine sef. I pay 254 per month although everything is furnished with internet, electricity, Tv cable network, properties, kitchen utensils shelves, heater, etc. But if u are able to work part time during studies at week ends like i do, it will compliment for ur accommodation and 80 euros health insurance. Everything is planning and God.

ChriGo: ....What kinda job?...If na Fishery jobs i bet newfoundland go bam...but if na oil and gas jobs then Alberta....if na Info tech jobs anywhere in Canada will do ....

aahahah sofar them pay me well even though na fishery catching work. job na job. u no lie sha oh fishery job go full there cos na so so water surround the whole place. The fish sef kon dey Hungary me now. I go chose that province make i go chop fresh fish biko.

Hey guys which province is in Canada can you recommend in terms of job availability and affordable tuition for international students with moderate weather?

tebenezer: Glory be to God alone,I thank him for a safe and merciful journey to my haven.......Canada.....My obsession

Tebenezer, which university in Canada are you?

Justcul: .......can we move on plz?
@all our oga's at the top in germany (Tope, Godson, T-med, futurewise, kelly, jejet, Angel, aflynvir, ganasy, franklyn,dmitroika,lily and a host of others not mentioned), i hail ooo..

Na me hail pass.

OjaP: In addition to what BigFrancis said, she can apply for a F-2 visa if you guys are "legally married". You have to show proof that you will be able to sponsor/take care of her while here. This means she would have no recourse to public funds all through her stay in the US. Many people do that, and you can go through that route if you can defend yourself.

However, I should warn you that this category of visa lists your wife/child as your dependent, so you have to be responsible for them while here. I don't know how this would be possible if you don't have a job to support them. Most of us who go to the embassy paint a picture of a decent job and income. I am so sure your wife would paint that kind of picture too if going for an interview. But does it really make sense to abandon your high-paying job to relocate to the USA where you can't work and depend on a graduate student? These are few of the loop holes you have to close before letting her go to the embassy.

If I were you, I would come here first, study the system for like 6 months, calculate my income, and determine if that is what I really want to do. Unless you plan to leave the USA after your education, getting a green card for your wife would be so difficult. She may be bored to death in this country because she won't be working. And for you, your surest option of getting a green card would be through job. You have to go through the H-1B to green card route if you are lucky to get a company file for you. Since you are married, green card through marriage won't be possible again unless you divorce your wife and marry a citizen - I won't even advise you to do this. It is very risky. But if you do, what would be the fate of your wife? Well, she can re-marry and get a citizen file for her too. And would you end your marriage with your wife because of green card? This is tough to do if you truly love your wife. These processes may take a long time and in most cases could be so frustrating.

This is not to diminish your joy in anyway but just for you to plan very well before bringing your wife here. And like I said earlier, unless both of you plan to go back home after your studies, this may not be the best thing to do. I assume your wife is educated, if YES, let her apply to grad schools and go for a F-1 visa. With that, both of you have good chances of getting a H-1B or even a green card later in life.

Again, congratulations and welcome to the land of the free home of the brave.

You are such a good representative of your home country to have taken time to explicitly put down a very good advise in writing just to help someone avoid a mistake. Ride on brother.

princeolu254: Unahh wan kill the guy.....make unahh leave hamm make he tell us all he knows.


@styles2009 youself try make you chill no dey jump like say u be Visa Officer.

By the way you said you are living in Italy and going to Germany to study, i dont get that, do you have permanent residence in Italy or do you intend to return to Nigeria and start all over again...Please Explain.

Try start by talking about yourself first. Thanks...

The guy na yahoo guy. (I no mention name oh)

frederal: Some guys can be deceptive, this guy doesn't want other guys to come and enjoy the beauty and tranquility in Newfoundland.
Guys, Newfoundland is the place to be: cheap accomodation, cheapest tuition in whole of Canada, plenty of sea food, cold refreshing weather,oil rich region, nice people( most amazing ), party peole(downtown)...its countless.
Welcome to Newfoundland! Don't mind Dommakaveli...people like tupac always want a place like L.A.

Is there Jobs in newfoundland?

Chrigo is the online route still possible since canada has introduce biometric/finger prints compulsory for all naija applicants which is done at submission point in vfs at some charges?

ancient1: Anyone coming to UPEI, feel free to contact me..... I'm hoping I can be of some assistance in helping you settle down, though I can't say im completely settled yet... Not many Nigerians here.

How is the job opportunity in UPEI? Is it easy for students to find job there?

richard4ssky: Thanks so much for the information, so are you saying I have to wait still 21st and is that what uni assist told you, r u on bbm let chat more since we r both facing same problem

I am studying in Germany oh. lol am not facing same challenge. That was what they told me when i tried applying for my cousin here.

princeolu254: EVEN THOUGH THEY DONT NEED GERMAN FOR STUDY IT IS OBVIOUS GOING TO GERMANY NOT HAVING ANY IDEA ABOUT THE LANGUAGE...KNOWING TOO WELL THAT 80% OF THEIR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT..............BETTER ADVICE THEM TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE THAN GIVE THEM HOPE WHEN THE REALITY THERE IS DIFFERENT................

Actually if you have time to learn the basic part of the language, then is will be added advantage for you. If your program is fully taught in English, then you don't need English proficiency. The truth is that your English ends in the classroom. After classroom things na strictly German every where, in the bus, train, sign post, work place, hostel, neighbors, street, supermarket, application forms etc. Though some Germans speak English and can help you out.

I didn't say you should speak fluently but try to understand and speak basic ones first. Most schools here will take u extra classes on that. Don't let the language issue bother you but take it as a challenge to learn it when you come here cos the language is more important than English here just as English is more important than German language in Nigeria.

As for me the study work load does not give me time to learn the language the way i wanted coupled with the fact that i only speak English in classroom. I'm even learning faster at work place where I hear people speak it everyday.

richard4ssky: Hello I am having problem with uni assist online application..some of d program I can fine it in the online application form,so. Must I apply online or I should just apply by sending my document to uni assist my poster ur advice is needed

Most programs are not opened yet for Summer application. So just wait till November 21st according to the info i got from them cos i have to write uni-assist cos i was also trying to assist me cousin apply thru them.

This world na small world oh. I was with Futurewise today. Na Tope remain wey i go see for Berlin latter... Tope dey warm up oh.

futurewise11: You are welcome bro.i really like to see many nigeria in germany.atleast in my area ooh,am yet to see a nigerian student.

Whenever i go to a nigerian party/church,the people there always look at me with surprise......so u come germany come study?omo na una go enjoy germany oooh.just face ur study u will enjoy this country.thats what they always tell me.dem go so,pupo ninu wa eyinkule,la gba wo ile.

My advice,please learn the language before coming here,it helps alot.i was offer a job by a nigerian in eningen,but because of the language barrier i cant do it.if u have ur drivers license bring it along.and prepare for german school,there course no easy ooh,but we will overcome

Learn it and mingle.

Which area? Reutlingen?

joyoftheLord: Hi Friends, i went to Book emirate to Frankfurt but was asked to Book for returned, and not one way. He said since d student visa is 3 months (which will later be extended), dat i need to get a return ticket which is about 172k else i Might not be allowed to Fly at d check Point. Pls, those who purchased emirate, did u Book one way for d 3 months visa? Secondly, pls which other Airline can allow me to Fly one way from Lagos to Frankfurt even at a cheaper rate? Thanks Friends.

it's a business strategy to sale more tickets. My guy that just landed in Germany this week via same Emirate was told the same thing and he insist he wants one way ticket cos as a student he does not know when he will come back and there is no where it is writen in the airline terms and condition that you must book return so why wont they allow u check in except they are ready to refund your money. Pls dont fall mugu for them.

Angel Diamond: I flew Lufthansa..........my ticket was booked with a credit card in London........
My story: Before booking i asked a question on nairaland about showing card when checking in my luggage or boarding and someone said i will show the card because he or she was asked to show his own.....I called Lufthansa Lagos to confirm and i was told YES! i will show the card i used to book.....I told the lady that the card that will be used is not in my name and she advised i get the cash and pay myself......A popular boss here on nairaland also said they won`t ask.....
The card holder called Lufthansa London, and he was told that i do not need to show card, that they stopped asking for card since June 2012.....
I got confused and did not know which to follow.....as i would be flying from Nigeria.....
On the day of my departure, i was too carried away to remember the ticket was booked with a card not in my name.....It was when i landed i remembered no one asked atall.....
Atleast, i am sure now that Lufthansa does not ask for cards.........may be different for other airlines though....

I also booked Lufthansa from London with my Brother's credit card in Uk and i flew from Naija to Germany this year and nobody asked me for any cc. 2 times i flew Lufthansa now they dont ask. So book . The 2 airlines that must ask u is Qatar and Emirate. Its even writeen on their online payment portal. Though they remain the cheapest but their journey remains longer cos of transit things.

PlayPays: Yepa! Bros what have you been reading?!
How do you know its only two white VOs are present here in Nigeria, you've worked there before? Hey sir, not all blacks are african.
I don't know the law but I won't believe that a Visa Officer of a nation can be from another nationality.

maybe those blacks are citizen sha. U may be right. It was one black yoruba babe that interviewed me during my her acent was pure cos she speaks like them but her name was yoruba name. I attended a canadian education fair sometimes ago and the 2 whity said they are the only visa officers in cany Embassy and hence the reason for more delay as they receive huge application on daily basis.

Onye oma: Not true sir....we've critically analysed this stuff over and over again....

It used to be like you said in the past,but recently, I know of a number of peeps(more than 50%) who used their parents and waited like hell before they got their medical calls...

@ a point, it was traced down to one's course of study which up till now is still under debate and has not been fully verified...

The whole stuff is just mysterious....

Na God sure pass bro...

gaps in between studies also play a big role. You should be able to say what you have been doing in gaps in between your studies and they dont want to hear you are working except you are a graduate.
