Yes I am coming to Canada to write my proctor security exam which must be write in person after I had paid and through with the online course and invitation for me to write the exam,thereafter three offers are waiting for me already ....please help before applying ..... And I want to really push this thread forward because no be every body will like to go to schools in Canada.

So you want to go from naija to Canada just to write a one day exam ? After buying the plane ticket and hotel room for a 1 day exam then you'll return to naija and be a professional security officer ?

aceblaizer:
from my experience its going try school be de best(you ain't paying tuition) get admission equals visa then defer and work

How do you work with my work visa or social insurance number ? Or are you suggesting one works under the table for corrupted Lebanese/Arab guys who'll pay you 1 dollar an hour ?

Dextra:
I know how frustrating it can be when you try to get information from the Student Visa session, all you see is "Medical hopefuls" and lots. I tried to find information too when I wanted to apply for my Visitor Visa. Anyway, recently I received a Multiple Entry Visa Canada So, the basic requirement are all in the website: Application form, Family information and all that. Now, other document to submit depends on your purpose of visit. You need to prove to the VO that you will return after your visit. When I returned to the country after my first visit most of my friends thought I was stupid to have returned and I even met few people over there who told me what to do to remain in Canada. I'm glad I was smarter and returned even before my visa expired. Believe me, I will never advice anyone to overstay. Plan to return at least for sake of next application. That is why they really want to make sure you have strong reason to return.

Items that will prove that you will return are: Strong tie to Nigeria, regular employment, fat account balance, assets, and previous travel history.
I hope this will be helpful to you.
I wish you success.

You're obviously well off. It's not easy to get a visa to enter canada from Nigeria. People were surprised you went back because they obviously weren't aware of your financial status.

presidentpikin:
Thank you bro...am intending travelling to Canada on visiting visa to write my basic security license exam in Canada after completing the online.The purpose of my travelling is for security employment.... Please what is my hope and requirements.

So you're coming to Canada to write the security license exam then get a job working security in canada ? Be specific then I can help you.

Gabrielsylar:
Please someone who fell victim of visa agent fraud and was refused visa on the ground of deception this happened in 2006...will the UK 10 Year visa ban Apply.

Thank you

You'll most likely never get a legit visa to the uk and every other developed nation.

momoyama:
So you HONESTLY mean to tell me that the lights go out on average every single day in parts of Lagos? Sorry, but I do not believe that.

YOUR ignorance is comical. You honestly don't know how bad this country is. That woman is feeding you garbage. She's definitely benefitting from the corruption with such foolish patriotism. Don't let her fool you.

momoyama:
Why on earth would she lie and say she only gets 17 hours electricity a day?! On my calculation, that leaves 7 hours with no electricity. Does that sound like something to be bragging about? You do not even attempt to be fair and balanced!

In Nigeria ? hell yes. No disrespect sir, I won't be doing this with you. Like I said, you wouldn't understand. Her claims are delusional.

danjumakolo:
See how Nigerians sale their patriotic ago.
So what's the big deal in having a british passport?

You don't have to live in Nigeria.

momoyama:
What an ignorant, presumptuous person you are. Just because you disagree with her, now you suddenly have some insight into which countries she has visited and what her boyfriend is doing. Your post is evidence that you are animated by hostility rather than rational thought.

If she lied about everything else she'd definitely lie about that. Her post about her job offer after 2 months, constant electricity is equivalent to me saying I came back from the dead in a developed nation. At that point anything I say is irrelevant. Either way you wouldn't understand.

JewelStone:
Who said that America or any other country is dead? Did I ever say that people shouldn't travel out? My life is beautiful wherever I am. Unlike you, I don't have to comb other people's countries looking for miracles. Stop hating please

Keep blaming your failure on Nigeria while your peers are making it and living comfortably, you're on you own.

The Nigerian definition of miracle is a respectable life. Well I found that miracle in another man's country. You're here forming big girl when in reality you're not even on most people's level.

JewelStone:
My post was directed to Justwise and other sensible people, not some brain damaged fellow like you. You obviously lack comprehension skills.

I started out by saying that Nigeria has enormous issues that need urgent attention, but it's not as bad. And i made examples that Uyo where I live aint that bad (I bet you don't even know where that is on the map). How does 17 hrs power supply per day translate to generator use? Are you demented?

FYI, I've been to Germany, Spain(2x), France(3x), Switzerland, Italy and the UAE. I have a valid German visa which I used last September, and I just got my US visa in December. I also have expired French and Swiss visas. I got all my visas easily, without stress.

My boyfriend lives in the US and is a citizen, if we get married, I'll join him. And also, if you don't lack comprehension skills, you would've read where I said I'm not anti immigration.

My toto is sweet? You bet...

Enormous issues that need urgent attention, but it's not as bad. See contradiction. Mrs. Walt Disney which one is it ? I've been to Akwa. Like every other rotting state in the country ,most of it is under-developed with corrupted officials. If the state was so good, why wouldn't everyone from the country migrate there to drive on those nice roads, receiving 17 hour neppa ? Your delusion is comical. You haven't been to those countries, again stop insulting yourself. I assume your boyfriend is Nigerian by origin. Why wouldn't he come to your amazing Uyo state and live such a wonderful life like yourself ? Or maybe you suggested it and he laughed and called you a goat, telling you if we get married you must leave that garbage country and you all of a sudden became pro migration ? Ewu. Lastly you don't seem too bright, so let me be the first to inform you your boyfriend is servicing other women in America.

JewelStone:
@ Justwise

While I agree that Nigeria has serious problems that need urgent attention, it really isn't as bad as you and others are painting it. You seem to have an anti - Nigeria spirit, not only on this thread. Maybe it's because you stayed in Aba before you travelled out, I can understand.

You make it sound like people are dropping dead on the streets of Nigeria everyday, this is grossly untrue. The Nigeria you describe is not the Nigeria I live in. This is a website, anybody in the world can have access to these messages, I'm beyond embarrassed that this is the picture some people are painting of my country.

I live in Uyo. We have at least 17 hrs power supply every day, I don't feel insecure or unsafe at any time of the day, the streets are clean and orderly, the state is opening up; small and medium scale business are booming. Uyo is peaceful and beautiful, I love it here.

Before anybody will ask, I am not a politician's daughter, neither do I have wealthy parents/family. I believe in hard work and grace. I got my job 2 months after NYSC, without knowing any Adam. I live a comfortable life, and I get Visas easily to any country of my choice, without stress. I'm a self made "average" Nigerian, and people like me do exist.

I'm not saying that Nigeria is perfect, and I'm not against immigration, as I might migrate in the future for personal reasons. My point is, I don't know the kick you get out of it, but you are painting a picture of Nigeria that is relatively untrue, and it's unfair, since you're doing nothing tangible to ameliorate the situation. And also, your generalisation that only corrupt politicians live comfortably in Nigeria is very insulting.

Seems like you live in the Walt Disney of Nigeria. My uncle actually dropped dead on the streets not too long ago, not to mention the 2k people who also did about a week ago. With a gen why wouldn't you have 17 hours of neppa, while breathing in the toxic fumes of this gen to receive this 17 hours of neppa. I'm sure after you drive 1 block on this clean and orderly street, you'll run into poverty with police demanding bribes at check points, children selling pure water, etc. You may not be rich or a politician daughter, but you have a good imagination. 2 months after NYSE and you got a job ? Your toto sweet pass sugar cane. You get visa easily to any country of your choice easily (LOL No country respects that ROTTIN PASSPORT)? Touching the gate to any developed nation's embassy's gate is as far as you'll get. Stop insulting yourself.

Naija is sweet yet you'll migrate in the future for "personal reasons" aka Nigeria is a failed state, yet you're here talking all this. If everything you said is true why are you even looking to migrate ? Nne were nwanyo, hapu this Walt Disney story. Biko.

Charity begins with yourself. Secure yours and your families prosperity before anything else. Especially before the country we call Nigeria. Because she didn't give a damn about your prosperity since birth.

bebe2:
abi ooooo,


small uk cold here, i dey feel suicidal

canada cold no get part two oooohh

In Vancouver it's 9 degrees now in the dead of winter. Other places like 2 degrees. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Not to mention there's 6 months of actually summer oppose to that horrible rain and muggy weather. Where you get old ancient cities, with people packed together like stock fish, living in tiny crumbling homes, driving small cars aki and powpow are too big to drive. Then add in the insane taxes, chei.

momoyama:
Wow, that is an amazing story. How can hospitals get away with such blatant favouritism? Do you think it is nepotism? someone at the top reserving jobs for their relatives/friends? If so that person is a disgrace. I admit I am no expert on how things are in Nigeria, but maybe part of the problem is that people just accept things and do not complain. If something like that happened in the Bahamas, the aggrieved person would go to the newspapers and it would be a HUGE scandal and the politician at the head (Minister of Health) would be deeply embarrassed by the opposition's opportunity to make a scandal of it.

My point is that there are corrupt, crooked people EVERYWHERE, not just Nigeria. But the outcome may be different if people made more of a fuss of these things when they occur and especially got the press alerted to something as blatant as the situation you just described.

Also, the fact is that Nigeria is a MASSIVE country, where it may be difficult to bring national attention to such episodes, especially if they are common. I live in a country with a population of only 350,000, so it is not that difficult for any citizen to get their story heard by the whole country via the press, and in fact it is probably even easier to stop the Prime Minister in the street and complain, with media cameras in tow.

A lot of the negative complaints I hear about Nigeria are simply a reflection of it being such a huge country, I think. Individual acts of the kind you speak of simply are less easily remedied in such a big country with so many millions of people. I hope your brother tries again and succeeds. Alternatively, I would not say it is bad of him to do his residency elsewhere. I would just hope he can one day contribute to the development of Nigeria. Until West Africa reaches its potential, people of West African origin everywhere will not be assured of their place in the world.

1. Almost every job is reserved from someone's friend or relative, or whoever gave the biggest bribe. Who will you complain too ? The police officer on his/her payroll ? Just like that Nigerian man who went to John Hopkins, spent 60k US in less than a year for his studies, and has now returned home to "help" fix the country. We all know his wealthy daddy lined up a job for him already.

2. I'm convinced Nigeria has the most corrupted individuals in the world per capita. This is not the minority of her citizens being corrupted, this is a culture now. Go and google Ken and see what they did to him when he complained about obvious corruption.

3. America has 350 million people while Nigeria has 150. Yet such corruption is not gone unnoticed with countries which have a bigger population.

4. His brother is wasting his time. The sooner he leaves Nigeria the sooner he'll begin to prosper and can start living a respectable life. The children of wealthy politicians have a slim chance of prospering there talk less a common man. It's just unfortunately he was born and lives in Nigeria, a big one.

You people going to the UK, you do know you won't get papers after school ?

graciousme:
What is the best route to enter Canada? Skilled workers program or schooling?

Skilled worker. I believe you'd get permanent residence right away. But schooling is the 2nd best option.

wonyi:
Is it like America dat gives automatic visa at birth?

You mean citizenship. But the answer is yes.

Only an idiot leaves a good situation for a worse one. They will soon respect themselves and return. Those jobs he applied for are already promised to someone. Nothing is achieved by merits in that country.

helpee:
being a visa veteran here on nairaland, you definitely know about j-1 visa in America. Specifically, it is meant to acquire knowledge in America and you must return to your last country of residence to use that knowledge to benefit the country of last residence. So even Americans are not against training you with the purpose of sending you back to benefit your country. I am not against seeking quality education outside. I am not against tourism. I am not even against immigration . I am only against immigration based solely on the fact that Nigeria is irredeemable. Go and study abroad....come back with the knowledge to develop your country and not throw stones back home cos you think you are far away. some people sacrificed to take America to where it is today, they worked and believed in their country and that is why you can live the descent life you so much cherish in america

America had a solid foundation when the country was founded. Attempting to build naija is like building a house with no solid foundation. It's pointless really.

momoyama:
But how can you begrudge this man for wanting to stay at home and help his country? It is fine if you are happy abroad. But do not criticize those who want to remain at home and improve their country.

I've been around the world to know how it works. This man is full of nonsense. My cousin went to John Hopkins on a full scholarship and I even know people who took his program. The average price for his program is 60k American for an international student. That's around 11 months at 12k American per term for 5 terms. You now add the cost of the application and obtaining his/her visa, plane ticket, etc. haba. So the average Nigerian has this type of money laying around ? This individual comes from a wealthy or very well off family. He went abroad to study and is now back in naija to get his piece of the corrupted pie. If or when things don't work out, his ass will be on the first plane back to America. While he claims its not about the quality of life, he's not living like the everyday Nigerian struggle for their daily bread. He has it made there. If that was not the case for him, believe me it will be nothing but the quality of life while he runs back to America kissing the ground. I guess my point in all this rant is that don't be living in aso rock among the wealthy while claiming naija is getting better, I want to go back home and fix my country, blah..blah... Until these guys taste the everyday life of a REAL Nigeria shut your mouth. After spending 60 plus thousand dollars American in less than a year for your studies he now forms like he's an average Nigerian and claim you don't have to be rich to do that. Lets hear.

helpee:
like I said earlier, it is all about choice and has nothing to do with quality of life. May I chip it in here if justwise won't ask me to upload my certificate as evidence that I did my masters in public health at John Hopkins in America and I didn't feel safer in America. As a matter of fact, a classmate of mine of Uganda origin was shot dead in that same America over a minor tussle during the programme. You don't have to be rich to sponsor yourself through American education. My family contributed less than a million naira and I paid my school fees from my savings cos I was already working and not married before I travelled. I am yet to regret coming back home till date. @momoyama, Nigeria is a beautiful unexplored country. Of course the picture being painted here is only true of North East Nigeria where boko haram is rampaging and the situation in lagos is not nearly as gruesome as some are painting it here. Even if quality of life is less than what obtains in the west, so the next thing for us to do is to leave our country behind in search of quality of life. Americans worked hard to develop their country, I will also work hard to do same here in Nigeria.

My friend stop the nonsense. It has everything to do with quality of life and nothing else. To begin with you are not an average Nigerian. These western countries do not give an average Nigerian a student visa. You must pay international fees and prove you have enough funds to sustain yourself while in the country because you are not eligible for social assistance. Your definition of rich obviously differs from most Nigerians. Furthermore, while no country is crime free, please don't compare the security in America to some 3rd world country. 2k people are not laying dead on the streets in America.

Back to the matter. I now reside in Canada and I know or have met the children of top political officials in Nigeria. These people did not and will probably ever suffer in naija as their parents have stolen enough money to last 3 generations. When they first get here they all talk about going back to naija. After they get their degree and work visa is about to expire, not only do they scramble to immigration to find a way to stay, THEIR PARENTS WHO ARE POLITICIANS force them to stay, saying "there's no future here in Nigeria". The problem is Americans who built "their" country were seeing progression. They saw a light at the end of the tunnel. The average Nigerian man (which you're clearly not) cannot see progress or a light at the end of the tunnel. Shall he stay stagnant and try to build up Nigeria which means putting money into these corrupted leaders hand while they send their fairly members abroad to flex ? The point is people leave Nigeria because of opportunities and quality of life. It has everything to do with the quality of life.

Which sane man would purpose to a woman over the age of 30 ? Nobody would even seriously consider marrying her at her age.

The woman at 37 should stop insulting herself. Which young man in their right mind would purpose to a 37 year old.

gneisss:
ladies wen in their youth com up with hilarious standards wen age catches up with dem the start getting desperate and by that time we men set up our own standards too...

They're looking for a captain save an ashewo (csa). After ignoring the good hard working men for the 419 boys with "swag", they're now looking for a good man to settle down with. Let them suffer it's hilarious.

ireneony:
that does not change the fact ur mum is black,....
.ur grand mum is probably rolling in her grave right now, for all this clueless words u are spewing right now (for hating urself)

My mother and grandmother helped their men achieve success. They weren't opportunists like you naija women nowadays. Again if obi was selling pure water would you care he's with a oyibo women ? Of course not ashewo. Now he has made it you come with this a black man should be with a black woman agenda. Only if he has money abi ?

ireneony:
your sisters are trash too

Don't have any but my female cousins are.

ireneony:
u are indirectly saying ur mum that birth u is not desirable, niggah pls


maybe u are probably a white female troll, that screw black di.çk.

My mama generation is the last respectable generation of naija women. The current generation of naija woman are just trash. Hence why a lot of single at a high rate and some naija men are going to other women or races.

ireneony:
what is wrong marrying from your own race. when jews,white,chinese,hispanic get rich they marry from their race, do u know what that means, it means they are putting back their money to their community. but black men wen they make little they pick the white man left over at the end they are contributing to the white man pocket. is time for us black to use our medulla oblangata and this is why we are so back us....anything white is right to some black male. i refuse to kiss people bottom, the truth is bitter...... if i continue to pour my heart out today will not be enough to write everything

for now i will say bye

Lol this woman is bitter. Go and sit down. Maybe if you didn't go around chasing 419 guys and invested in a good man you'd be happily married by now. Now he dumped you and nobody wants to wife up a former ashewo u come here vex because the good guy obi who you probably ignored growing up is now successful and no send you. Nigerian woman make me laugh.

ireneony:
abeg sit there, black guys generally dont like it when their female date interracially but love it when they see their fellow black male date other race of women. most importantly black men that marry interracially, 98% end up in divorce

That 98 percent is a Stat pulled out your ass just like black guys caring about a black woman dating outside her race. No other race would even choose a black woman over their race of women most of the time. Black women are simply not desirable to other races.

You bitterness is showing. Now obi has made it and is with a white woman you single insecure women are now vex. If he sold pure water would you even care let alone be vex ?

ireneony:
just see all the guys hailing Mikel, if he were to be a she, u see the kind of curse raining on her cos she is dating a whiteman . Mikel is not contributing to the economy of Nigeria. instead he prefer the white man's left over.....


look all the black guys with inferiority complex. anything white is always right ....mtchewwe

I've never seen someone vex that a naija woman was dating or marrying a man who's white or isn't naija. To be honest Naija woman are not in high demand and they're not hard to get.

Muscomide:
Hmmm, strange decision by Femi to return the children to their mother. As a father myself, I can not imagine suddenly having to disown children I have raised and bonded with, on the basis of some DNA test or the other. I have news for you, Femi Kuti, a real man will not do what you have done. Being a father is more than biological!

A man gets defrauded yet somehow like usual the woman does no wrong it's the man's fault. Now femi is not a "real" man. Not only would I return the other man's children, someone must refund me the money with interest I used to train them. I'd rather die than raise another man's child. Femi is the victim here.
