Agreed, But in Marriage Setting, a Husband should NOT be cooking when the Wife is in that Living space with him. undecided

Most of our Girls who Date YAHOO boys, they cook at the Guy's Beck and call. smiley

But when they get into Marriage, Most claim Tiredness. embarassed sad

DatNaijaGuy:
I might be wrong, I think this is an unnecessarily power play between these so called super powers. India, a country ravaged with endemic poverty is spending so much for space exploration when millions of Indians can't eat twice a day and with millions of unemployed roaming the streets.
Third World countries need HDI and not this jamborees.

There are millions of unemployed in USA, Russia and other western countries.

Most of the money used for space exploration were basically grants for science and technology from private and other organizations.

India has a growing economy and also a growing tech base and of course has its own share of unemployment and poverty but that won’t stop development or advancement.

Good day people!!!!

What are the options that are available for person that has Business Visitor Visa approved in July 2023 after almost a year on the waiting list ? (the visa was granted to attend a conference).

1. Can he remain in Canada after the conference?
2.. Can he seek asylum? Since the visa of entery was for a conference
3. Can he get a work permit?
4. If the person has some handy work like being a tailor or something...Will that help?

Knowledgeable people please assist in answering. Much appreciation on advance

1. He can stay up to 6 months or the date on his visitor’s record. There is a chance he would be given one at the border since the conference is over.
2. Don’t be foolish.
3. To be employed, an employer would need to get an Lmia and prove that no one in Canada qualifies for that position.
4. There are plenty handy work people in Canada.

Summary: Go through the right route , it is not fun being an illegal.

A friend came to me yesterday, he wanted to sell his house to relocate to Canada. He is 42+ yrs. He is assured of a tourist visa that will cost him 1.8m excluding ticket.

He wants to know if it is worth it considering his age. Also he is afraid that if he sells his house in Ilorin (a new site) and the things go south what will happen.

Another thing he is assured is that his visa can be extended before expiration. He wants to know whether he can truly work with a tourist visa of 5 yrs and whether his visa can be extended.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Show this link to your friend. An LMIA will be required.

It’s easily doable but let me tell you how to run it. First of all I have gotten that Canada tourist visa before and they expect you to be out of their in 6 months. So do not be deceived but this is how to run it. Go to a backwood place like Winnipeg or Saskatchewan where the average salary is like 30 thousand canadian per year . Befriend a nice lady and offer her 30 thousand Canadian cash to marry you. I REPEAT DO NOT TRY TO GO CHEAP BECAUSE THE WOMAN WILL DISAPPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PROCESS. Make sure it’s 30000 cash you are offering. Give her 20000 cash on the spot to commit her after you have booked wedding appointment and tell her she get the rest 10k after you get approved . NEVER TRY TO PULL A FAST ONE OR YOU WILL BE DEPORTED IF SHE TURNS ON YOU. Make sure you give her the whole 30k Canadian. And hopefully you like her enough to keep as a wife. So yeah sell your house and find a Canadian chick before 6 months is over. Pay her 30k Canadian. That’s how you run it . No other way

Whoever is reading this quoted comment… Do not do this for your own sake.

Una go just open mouth and head wa and type trash on a public forum thinking visa officers are dunce and stupid. If only some of you know the extent of investigation they do when it comes to Spousal sponsorship for PR and factors that distinguishes genuine marriages from props.
They scan forums like this during their investigations and yes they are allowed to cite comments like this when they make their decisions.

Good evening, please how do I politely tell my married ex to stop bringing back our past memories?

My ex and I separated on good terms, he is AS likewise myself so we had to go on our separate ways. It over 6 years that we separated but we still talk once in a while. I don’t have any feelings for him anymore but I don’t know about him and I don’t have any intention of seeing him either though we are far away from each other.

I don’t want to block him and I don’t want to offend him ,but when I take a picture with a random male friend and I upload it on my status ,he tells me he is jealous that the guy is an idiot for holding me or touching me. Asking for my recent pictures and sending me my old pictures that I don’t even remember existed.

This guy is married with a child. How to I politely tell him to stop all this because I don’t feel comfortable with them.

You: ‘please stop’

Or how else do you want to say it?

I got an interview with statistics canada as Data science fellow. Anyone knows anybody at this institution who I can consult for guidance? Or anyone with experience on what this interview could entail? I have a fair idea already, only I want some more info. Thanks.

There is no one rule fits all. You need to prepare for StatsCan interviews. It is usually in between hard and easy depending on who is interviewing. Some hiring managers might just want to know if you have people skills while others might just go technical.

Go on glassdoor, indeed, Reddit for Canada public servants, rfd interviews for government workers; there are plenty reviews there about the general public service process, if you dig further you might see something for statscan.

Good luck !

Hello Nairaland Fam, hope you are recovering from the 'detty December'.
In the spirit of the new year, follow me on a road trip to Toronto, Ontario in Canada.

Itinerary: Columbus, Ohio - Niagara Falls - Toronto - Brampton - Windsor - Detroit (Michigan) - Columbus, Ohio - Penn State.

I happen to be in Ohio for a few days so I plan to take off from Columbus. The plan is to rent a car for three days (some options include Enterprise, Hertz, Alamo, etc). I think I will settle for Alamo. Got a quote for a mid-size SUV for $345 (does not include insurance) as long as I return at the same location and time as I picked up. If I had opted in for 4 days, I would have been charged a weekly amount. But since it is less than four, I was charged a daily rate which when you add taxes and some other charges adds up to $345.
Gas (fuel): The car's tank will be full on pick up and I'm expected to return it full (except I pay about $54 or so...or a little more or less) and I will not have to worry about returning a full tank. Well, I opted in for returning a full tank.
Insurance: To avoid stories that touch the heart, I will use a rental car insurance company I found online to cover my trip. I will use Bonzah and I got a quote for about $37.

When I decided to embark on this trip, the first thing I did was to map out an itinerary (not necessarily all that will take place in Canada but how to get there by road). I used Google and found several US states that border different parts of Canada. For those in Detroit, Michigan and environs, you can get in through Windsor, Ontario. Those in New York and environs can get in through Buffalo, NY (through the Peace bridge). I think one of the states in New England (comprises Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, etc) borders Montreal, Quebec. Since Pennsylvania is somewhat closer to New York and I was in Ohio at the time, I decided to enter Canada through Buffalo, New York. The plan was to get to Niagara Falls in Ontario first before moving to Toronto. Google said the drive from John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) where I pick up my rental car to Niagara Falls in Ontario is approximately 5hrs 24m (352 miles). Kindly note that Ontario is a province while Toronto is a city. Then, from Niagara Falls to my Hotel in Toronto (Days Inn by Wyndham) is approximately 1hr 35 m (141km). U.S uses miles whereas Canada uses kilometers.

Immigration and Border: As long as you are not a U.S passport holder, you require a visa to enter Canada. When I applied, the turn around time was pretty decent. Thankfully, they no longer require covid-19 testing and quarantine as they did during the peak of the covid-19 pandemic. So, less worries.
Let's hit the road.

Pictures attached were taken at the CMH airport...the car rental section.


Yep … 2 major border crossings around Montreal.

Saint Armand/Vermont—- fairly or less busy especially on weekends.

Romance / Re: My Fiancee Jokingly Said She Will Separate Me And My Brother When We Get Married by maziude: 3:33pm On Jan 26, 2023
Ndubuisipaul1:
My fiancee told my younger brother that she will send him out of my house if we get married. She was joking, but it didn't sound like a joke to me.

Let me tell you how this started. My younger brother told my fiancee jokingly, that he will be sending her on errand anyhow, when she marries me. Although he went too far for saying he will be sending her on errand anyhow. But he has every right to send her on errand because he senior her. She then replied that if my brother do anyhow, when we get married she will ask me to send him away from my house. At this point I stop seeing the whole discussion as joke. I asked her to repeat what she said, she repeated it again (take note: she was saying everything jokingly)

I told her right away that if my brother comes visiting when we get married, she will not send him away. She said she will use her woman power to make me send him away.

She went further to ask me, that if they ask me now to choose between her and my brother who would I choose. I told her I would choose my brother (she could see the seriousness in me).

And I really meant it, any girl that will separate me and my brother will have to use jazz .

This my younger brother established the business that I am doing today. Has done countless number of things for me.

We don't joke with each other, and she knows that.

So am really scared, could this be a joke ? even though it a joke. How can a woman joke that she will separate two brothers ?

Nairalanders, please help a brother with your advice. is this a red flag ?

That’s not a joke though. Lol

The gurus in the house please I need your help!
I am a new member here, and i got to know this platform after I had already submitted my study permit application through an agent on October 2022.
I got a college admission but was refused of my study permit application in January 2023, which I am about to apply for the gcms.
The reasons for the refusal is linked to "No adequate financial resources provided, and there is no evidence that I will not work in Canada during my study period".
Document submitted along with the application as guilded by the agent was:
1. Payment of my first year tuition fees
2. Gic certificate of 10k cad
3. Valuation document of two family building s
4. Employer's letter of introduction
5. Gratuity statement of account
6. Pension statement of account
7. LOE
The agent submitted the application without even asking for my statement of account. I knew that could be responsible for reasons for refusal.
I planned to reapply but not through this agent again and I planned handling it myself because I have gained a lot of information dropped by many people on this platform.
Please I am appealing to the gurus in this platform to assist in guilding me on the documents I will need to have successful and fulfilling application this time.
Plss🙏🙏.

Banilla:
Mods, take this to the front page. Thank you.

Hi everyone! I have a boyfriend, we've been together for a year. I absolutely love him, he's my whole world! And that's the reason I'm pressuring him to save, if we're going to have a future together. And he's down for it, he makes nothing less than 200k monthly. I'm still a student, searching for a decent job. I can't invest sh** presently but I hope to start soon. Yesterday, I brought it up. I want him to send money monthly to my bank account, no matter how little. I'll save it for him. He's hesitating. He said I should be patient, he'll give me everything I need but he wants more time. I don't want to ruin our relationship but I need his co-operation. I'm scared he might leave me, after I've given him the best years of my life. I subtly threatened him that my family would force me to marry a Nigerian but he made a joke out of it, saying I would never, that I'm his... embarassed

What should I do?

NB: I've never taken a dime from him. He drinks often and I don't want him spending 'our future' on alcohol! I'm way better at saving.

I'm worried if I press the subject, he'll get mad at me.

I also told him I want to leave Nigeria, he thinks it's a good idea and I also told him I can't afford it alone. He said he needs time.

Doesn't he love me? Should I let it go? Or insist we resolve this?

I don’t get it. You want him to save his hard earned money in your bank account?

I guess you are just looking for a collateral in case he breaks up with you. Or one day, you will pack your bag and run with his money to the abroad. SMH

PS: Yea, all you wrote above is about you and your wants.

Well, this is Xmas holiday period, many foreign based folks are back home here. You never know if he is one.
Beside look at his post. Toto dey hungry this guy for a while now. He could just have come home to fix that. It's his kind flashy overseas returnee that book rooms in big hotels in Owerri and just keep fvcking different girls for 3 weeks. They only visit their family mud hut in the village on Mondays and Wednesdays to make noise with second hand cars. Next thing you hear is they have gone back abroad.
You look around and you cant anything they did.

His account of life overseas is fairly correct but not quite. Reading that thing you will think there is no short man in America. That's a damn lie.
You'll also notice he seems to have a thing for white girls and the fact that he can't even get anywhere near their pant is driving him nuts.

I have lived in the US. Was born there. I can tell you right off that this guy is a hustler. The kind of Afrcian that go to the US without good education and so never get a good job besides thing like Taxi driving and menial jobs. They live poor and eat from paper bags.
Further more he doesn't seem to be living in a majority black neighborhood.

Go to Texas. There are place you go everyone is speaking Yoruba or Igbo. They dress in traditionals and even have Chiefs. Tell me you can't find a girl there huh
