God bless you and grant your heart desires my brother! You are indeed a good person! Others would have said Google it! Will do just as you said.

Oh no, your wife's situation is indeed an urgent one. I can only but imagine how she's coping with baby and the wound. Please let her find the MP for her area within Regina, it does depend on the place she lives. Here's the website: https://regina.foundlocally.com/Local/Gov-FederalMPs.htm. Just pick the person representing her area and call or schedule a meeting. That's where I got the one I'm in touch with.

It's well.





I do wish the MP in Ontario will even answer somebody.
There is nothing much one can do but wait and wait.

I placed a call to cic today with respect to my wife's application and the automated system stated clearly that applications recieved after May 9th are not yet being processed.

Meaning its pointless looking for update if you applied after May 9th.

I just know one thing sha...none of my children will be Nigerian by birth.. cheesy

Its well.

Hello house, I do ask a questions but unfortunately few ppl do respond to my problem.
Again tonight, pls I want an advice for this problem which is urgent.
I have applied for visiting visa before and it was delayed last month due to travel history and purpose of visit. Fortunately enough now, I got admitted to a college for Postgraduate certificate. So pls hope my delayed visiting visa won't affect this new study permit application that am about to submit?
Secondly, Is it compulsory to include my personal statement of accout apart from my sponsorship account because I don't have much there?
Pls Gurus in the house I need your urgent help

Travel / Re: In A Dilemma Of Studying Abroad Or Serving The Country (NYSC) by kife(m): 11:00am On May 28, 2016
It all depends on your short term and long term goals.
If you have the funds for an Msc abroad, I did like to think you should go get it, over 30yrs, you simply apply for an exemption cert. And life goes on.
Moreso, studying abroad isn't as easy as it appears, a lot of planning goes into the process, getting admission, getting the relevant documents, and then filing for visa can really be challenging and time consuming. So during the time frame, you may as well begin your NYSC program, and travel when you secure a visa.QED!

if your claims of applying for a PR from Nigeria are true to the letter, it's best you worked even more assiduously to get the PR.
Upon immigration, u pay domestic student fees as against the high tuition fees paid by international students.

Also, as a PR, the benefits are just invaluable.

@obiwann, welcome to the Canadian thread. I know your moniker very well. I used to read the German thread a whole lot and you are one of the gurus on there. My bro (now in Canada) almost went to Germany (took IELTS, got MSc admission for Comp Science, etc), and all the guidance we used was from most of you and eke40seven's posts on the German student visa thread. You are a very helpful person.

I would advise that you read any or a combination of Parts 5-8 (Part 9 is not as solid). If you can read part 7 & 8, you will be set. Also, look up old posts written by people like Team12, me (thesoj), khalesi, Onyeoma3, montrealer, sholay2011. All of those monikers are of people in graduate school (both MSc & PhD) in Canada with the exception of me, lol. I got on this thread last year to help two siblings get their Canada TRVs for graduate school. I live in the country just south of the Canadian border.

Here is an amazing resource for you: this post (click here) provides a bunch of enumerated information that may answer some initial questions. Cheers.

Please gurus in the house should please address this explicitly.

As required by the Visa Office in Nigeria:

Proof of sufficient funds to cover your tuition and living expenses for at least one year in Canada. In addition to the cost of tuition, you should have at least CAD $10,000 available to cover your living expenses; an additional minimum requirement of CAD $4,000 must be added if a spouse or partner is accompanying the student, as well as CAD $3,000 per accompanying child or other accompanying dependent. Evidence includes:

Original plus one copy of certified bank past six month’s statement s or financial investments with history including your submission month or ending one month prior. You must also show a reliable source of funds for the duration of your academic program. You may also submit financial documents r elated to a valid pension plan or proof of income from rental properties or stocks and bonds. Failure to provide evidence may result in refusal for insufficient funds.

kife? You are not stupid, you are intelligent enough to know what i'm driving at here.

Lets stop pussyfooting this and call a spade a spade, compromising document is fraud, forgery and its a criminal act.

I don't want to be believe that God does not hear or answer Nigerian prayers but i think we are one bunch of hypocrites, today is Sunday and church is full, people are praying and castling the devil including some visa applicants but at the same time you have forged and lied in your application while praying to God for success?

Who are we deceiving? Because of our own self centeredness we ruined it for others, application takes months to be decided because almost everything we submitted can not be trusted.

Who told you that your destiny can only be fulfilled in Canada that you have to commit crime just to achieve it?

Well said!
I appreciate your sincerity, indeed alot of Nigerians have misrepresented the national image far too long.

Yet, not having an account that runs in millions shouldn't be a factor to limit the dreams of a purpose driven fellow.

I tell you this, not every Nigerian wants Canada, most prefer Europe, they go as far as sailing through the Mediterranean Sea on some plastic boat,risking their lives, just to get to Europe...why? To alleviate the poverty and lead a better life.

For few who obviously have some educational background, North America is the Focus,should they give it all up and stay growing old in Nigeria because they don't have a "Heavy account". I think not!

Canada isn't the only place to fulfill ones destiny, yet, it's a better place to grow a career as compared to my dear country Nigeria, QED!

So you tell me this..if you don't have the means of achieving your dream now, is crime the only solution?

Means : the means here isn't an issue, anyone who can afford visa fees, air tickets and has access to accommodation or even friends and family who could lend a helping hand abroad is a solvent aspirant.

Dreams : am so glad you agree that a quest to immigrate is a dream, a worthwhile one at that.

Crime: compromise is no crime in this case, one must follow open doors. If crime was the focus, I like to think, going through a visa process says differently.

From all your post, I have come to realise you are one of the individuals who have invaluable information about Canada, such that can help increase the standard of living of the good people of Nairaland.
It's a call to assist them with this invaluable information and have heavens bless you!

@All

Please Let's not waste any space here discussing whether Canadian embassy verifies bank statement or not because it's a pointless debate.

Apply for your study permit with genuine documents and worry not about verification or if you decided to submit forged documents then good luck with that but don't come here to ask if the embassy will verify it.

There is nobody that intends to travel for any other reason other than for a better future. Sadly some individuals with this noble intention do not have the kind of accounts that presents them as viable students, this doesn't make them insolvent.

I believe you of all people should understand that Nigeria is tough, so tough as it were.
If one has say about a million naira, it's enough to sort things out for starters but to CIC, such an individual is Insolvent. What then should such an individual do? Stay put in Nigeria? Efforts must be made for purpose driven individuals, and that I believe is part of the questions asked, QED!

Thank you for the advice. I have take my time to go through some visa section too and already sent him some link. I will advice him to consider student route because that seems to be the simplest route. Even myself, I have applied to some schools already so I will advice him same and UK or Germany at least. Thank you for all the advice. Happy weekend!


Germany is ok, it's the strongest economy in Europe to the best of my knowledge. Yet recall that there is the language barrier factor.
People without good educational background really have a tough life in the UK.
There are people who travel only to become redundant and worse off than they were back in Nigeria.
As it were, this is the resulting effect of travelling abroad unprepared. He should take out time to understand what ever terrain he finally decides to indulge, if he fits into the system, a visa is sure.
A round peg may fit into a square hole in Nigeria, but overseas, the story is different.
Godspeed!

“The agreement we have with China will not solve our problem in the LONG RUN . The only solution for us is to start EXPORTING . We must increase our exports to China if we are to have a substantial amount of yuan in our reserves,” Ayodele said.

It's not a debatable issue, this is common economic theory, and no big deal.
The fiscal/monetary policies in place still makes importation not so attractive.
Moreso, it's not even an issue of governance, it's an issue of interest. If national interest more than outweigh self interest, if posterity is prioritized over prosperity by the Nigerian business moguls, I would like to think, we actually can get it right.

The currency swap deal with China has, is and will always be a necessary condition.

Hello,

I have no idea to be honest. I know my friend makes around 70k working with the federal government here. But I'd apply for the skilled worker program if you can, then come here. You can always change profession and you'd qualify for gov't loans if you can't afford to pay for your school fees. These are the occupations they're looking for, perhaps you can try to fit economics into one of these job categories. See number 191 on that list. Remember, your degree/qualifications will most likely not be recognized in Canada. So do your research before thinking about coming here.


http://www.immigration.ca/en/fast-track-high-demand-occupations.html#Occupation

Thanks alot.
An Msc from a Canadian university most likely gives me the recognition a Nigerian cert lacks.
I intend to use the study visa route, then work for a PR given the available routes that minimize cost and maximizes my chances at the shortest possible time.


Thanks once again.

I can't answer your questions but I have a cousin and family friend who were in your shoes. I'm assuming your B.A/Masters are from Denmark ? If so go back to Denmark and apply for the skilled worker program. It should take like a year max with no issues. And you'll come into Canada as a permanent resident (PR) with full rights as a citizen except for voting. And obviously a citizens citizenship cannot be taken away. DO NOT TAKE SHORT CUTS. My cousin just landed in Canada like 2 weeks ago under the skilled worker program. He got his masters and was living in the UK. It's well worth it.

My family friend is a geologists in northern Alberta but lives in Calgary. He just bought a house there. He was an international student in Canada, graduated, got a 3 year working visa then eventually PR. He was making around 100k per year when oil prices were high, now he makes around 80k per year. Very good money in that field and I think Canada is looking for people with that skill. Come in as a skilled worker, you won't regret it.


I love the encouragement.
One begins to wonder what then is the fate of Economics major? Cos it's d sci Lords I get to hear about all the time

Hope they too can earn this 80k, 100k that sounds like blood money to me
Thanks for the anticipated response.
