SAPA never show you shege before. Dey play.

Munzy14:
I don't advise people to live apart after marriage...It is of no use getting married in the first place.

You are good to go.

Mattinno:
Please I would like to ask this question , for the gurus in the House , As an International Student In the UK with a Valid Visa , I would like to ask is it possible to apply to the United States for a Visit Visa , even without going to a Schengen country , Just to a tourist Visa to the United States and what are the chances of getting the visa

Especially as the only post you have on Nairaland is in the Romance section and it is complaints about girls.
You don hear widow na you are asking how can i contact you. The poster wants a job, if you have a link to staffing agencies, post it here she will see it, it will be of benefit to her and to others as well.

Give the advice openly, here.

Pells1:
How do I contact you?

If you tell them they will tag you a hater. The problem is that the majority of people relocating have never left the shores of Naija before so it will be very strange for a person who is paying 120k Naira (CAD 206) per annum for a self contain at Mowe that he/she has to pay 1800 CAD (N1million) a MONTH for a self contain in Toronto. Many cant comprehend, no matter how much you drum it.

OldwomanWoman:
Words of advise to women who are coming without their spouses..if you coming with kids..get ready!!! I notice nobody talks about the reality on ground…It will hit hard,you will question why you embarked on the journey..

Don’t let any agent deceive you to leave your spouse behind..I know they say it increases one’s chance ..who go get visa to get visa or better still..come alone first and do all the ground work then your kids can join you later..

People are not giving feedback on their first few months as international student with kids and no spouse.

If you insist, pls come into the country earlier..like two months before resumption..common mistakes women without their spouse make..

Come with plenty money too..plenty plenty money..if you know anyone in Canada (family) connect with them to see if they can accommodate pending when your sort accommodation..

Accommodation is one hell of a task for women with kids..you will go through hell and back before you find one .. even if you can prove that you can afford they won’t still give..

Last last some of us paid 6 months upfront!

Not to put fears but prepare yourself..prepare hard!

Don’t make the mistake of coming alone without spouse..spouse can accompany, then he returns once you are settled..

The worst time to travel as a mom with kids and no spouse is winter!!!!!!

No fears..just prepare yourself! Relocation is huge! Prepare!!!!!!

Did you confirm it is a genuine Visa?

Congratulations.

You don pay Tithe? lol

Johnbravo1994:
Congratulations to you.....may the land of Canada favour you and your family

Using an immigration Lawyer can be quite expensive. You can go through the materials here and do it yourself or use an immigration consultant. A registered one oh.

You are already asking your friend for school fees to be paid back. How are you then going to get funds to make all the payments? Why don't try the Express Entry or dozens of other immigration routes available? While study visas are fast, it is only a small percentage that are being approved.

Legitmenaija:
Please i need help.

We contacted my cousin based in Canada so he can help me pay my fees to the school while we fund him back.

But he ended up like ruining everything by telling my mum that we should forget about school route, that i should consider using the immigration route so my kids and i can go together.

He said that the possibility of me getting a Visa is slim to non because i have no travel history.

He also said that i will suffer working while schooling because its extremely stressful

The original plan was that i will go alone while my kids will stay with my mother (i'm a single mum).

Guys please is it true i may not e given visa because i haven't traveled before?


Lastly, i intended using an immigration lawyer to handle my visa application.

Congratulations.

You didnt have to paint your friend in a bad light. I am sure he did his best for you. No need denigrating him and then saying all that. You think he does not have need for money? You too will soon enter the abroad and see that it is more difficult to have spare funds to dole out to people either in the form of loan or dash.

OkukuOne:
I have returned to share the good news on behalf of my wife!!!
It's PPR
God came through for us!!

I came to Nairaland in search of direction and guidance. I have been on the journey for ages and no one could help me financially, so I gave up. After a long while close pals that are in Canada advised me that since I can now afford it, I should try and join them in Canada. I tried and got admission in 2015/16, but I opted out again considering the fact that I am now married and it will be difficult to school, work, and work extra to care for the family I will be leaving behind. Again, I opted out.

Fast forward to 2021, two of my close pals (same friends) encouraged me to make a move now. They believe that I can comfortably pay the fees now. Well, this time around, I changed the narrative. I applied for my wife to study while I sponsor her.

She got admitted and we started looking for information and the best way to get SP. My good friend who persuaded me to start the journey again was there and feeding me with information bit by bit. But because of my person who knows Nairaland as far back as 2007, I fell back here to search for more information. I don't like to be at the mercy of any man. I started digging and reading timelines. I asked questions 2 or 3 times. I also mistakenly mentioned to my friend that I saw a different view from his in Nairaland. This got him mad and started treating me poorly. I got to a point, I felt it was time to do this thing on my own. I didn't contact him any longer and if he ask me about the process, I just tell him, we are waiting on God. in between, I had good savings, but money is never enough, so I mistakenly asked him and the other of my friend to help with payment of my wife first-semester fee while I kept my money I already saved as POF. I didn't intend to touch it till she leaves. This also caused another bad blood. Two of them turned their back on me w.r.t. money. If you really love your friends, I will advise, you should avoid asking for money from them. Money spoils relationships a lot.

We got admitted in March 2022, but we submitted the application in September 2022 because I want to satisfy my conscience that the money we had was well above what is needed.

It's one year program that is to commence in winter 2023. We paid the first-semester fee and showed a POF of over 13mil. After the application, I removed my mind completely till the allotted time for SP finishes before sending webform. This is not to say we were not checking her email. I raised just one webform on the 12th of December 2022 informing IRCC that the allotted time for review (60/90 days) has elapsed. I didn't hear from them on the 12th and 13th, but on the 14th day of December 2022, my wife's email got a new mail. The email address was strictly for this process. So, I hurriedly opened it on my phone and you need to see the joy overflowing in me.

Majority of the documents I gathered as supporting documents (i.e. a letter of reference from my company to a letter of reference from where she volunteered) I forgot to upload. These were key documents, but God proves Himself...

God will not share His glory with any man.

Before I forget, we didn't get any notification via mail or on her IRCC Account apart from upfront medical passed and Biometrics. every other notification was updated after the Original Passport Request of 14th December 2022.

Our Covenant highway came earlier than expected.

My final word here to all, everybody's situation is peculiar, though you can have one or two situations that look the same.

To all those waiting, the GOD that did this for us will do for you. Just have faith and believe.

See you all on the other side SOWP and Study Permits for kids.

N/B:

kudos to Makano, skulleva, and others not mentioned for the wealth of knowledge being shared here without asking for a dime.

Your mouth ehn

azpekuliar:
Una still dey drop email for imaginary report after how many years

I agree with you. Someone has security checks since July last year. It can range from 3 months - 18 months.

ednut1:
no defined timeline. People have different circumstances or activities that may prolong it. Also the issue of processing from the agency involved , IRCC does not do the security checks another govt agency does. So just wait for them you cant do anything to fast track it.

CBSA notes takes 30 days while IRCC takes around 90-100 days.

MotolaniBolaji:
Good Afternoon everyone,

Please how can I track my order for my CBSA notes? I have ordered it since 1st of January and yet to receive it.

I have submitted my application since 11th of September and still no decision though I noticed that eligibility started on the 13th of January.

you wont mind your business. You leave your country that is grossly under developed and where gay is not accepted and went to live in a country that is very well developed where it is allowed and you are doing video and shouting upandan. Dem do you?

Just go over the thread you can do it yourself.

tuborme:
I want to travel to France with my wife on our anniversary. We have traveled together to the UAE twice on holidays. What requirements do we provide. We are both self employed and have sufficient funds. Experts we need help. I don’t want to go through agents because of the dangers of doctoring our documents! 10 days holiday.

IT and related studies have very high job prospect. To boost your chances you should learn the language.

Beolly:
Hello everyone I just came across these thread. Please who knows what the job situation is like in the Netherlands at the moment? I intend coming in for my masters program this year. I want to know what the post graduation prospects are in the Netherlands? And secondly the school I am looking at Wittenborg university is not available for selection on Studielink. That's a little bit strange and fishy for me. Cause I feel all the institution in the Netherlands should be available on Studielink since that's the general admission platform for the Netherlands.

Correct.

Abrahamobic:
please i what to be sure of this question.
I was told that a land can not have two cofo after the first owner (the builder of the house). That second buyer (owner of the house) cant get a cofo but governor consent as alternative to a cofo. Is this correct according to the land use act of 1978

lol. Why would God punish them? What will God do to you if you do not answer truthfully?

dipset01:
my wife was recently denied visa to the uk, I am filling the ITA form and the question below is being asked.

"Has XXXXXXXXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

Should I just answer truthly, God will punish this UK guys, they denied her for no reason.

Just show documents evincing these ties you have listed. Coupled with your travel history, you stand a good chance to obtain a Visa. Best of luck.

Not only is it contrary to our laws, it is totally against our culture.

Mind you Polygamy is cultural in this part of the world, the same way same-sex husband/wife is accepted both culturally and legally in those countries. It is a sad reality but it is what it is. Relatively new, same-sex marriage homes are becoming common in some western countries and they are trying to let their children know why that is. Are you aware that immigration forms and those forms we fill with enough fasting and prayers and going to sleep in churches for, have space/recognition for even Transgender?

MAKE WE DEY PLAY OH. SHEBI JAPA IS THE IN THING NOW? DEY PLAY OH.

DisLifeSha:
Sex education is very okay for children. But this topic is a contrary one to the laws governing Nigeria

He/she well die. We only don't like facing reality and like to hide under 'IT IS WELL'

Have you realized Nigeria is one of the most religious countries on earth and ironically one of the most morally corrupt and bankrupt countries in the whole world? Do you know why? we dwell in pretense.

Abuventure:
you well so?

That is if you are in Nigeria and it is not in our culture, but if you are in a foreign, western country what will you do? Take your children back to Nigeria?

Sucre6:
If I see this thing in my kids book, I will take it to the school authority and ask them to pull it down, if they refuse, i will escalate it to PTA and have all kids withdrawn from such evil organization called school,
This isn't sex education, this is telling kids it's cool to masturbate, how's that sex education
u don't know that young mind is full of curiosity, they would like to experience things first hand, they would read this book and want to try mastubation, what good would these do to our young children?

Its obvious u don't have kids yet, don't worry, you will change this statement ones you have kids

I agree with you.

naijainstinct:
You started the journey in December and you're already trying to derail the thread by creating a WhatsApp group even though you have benefited from this thread and your sole reason is that you have had to log in here constantly.

People have been accessing and benefitting from the wealth of information on this thread and by extrapolation, this forum, for years without recourse to WhatsApp where people can just derail a group with all manner of religious, political and other irrelevant messages including unsolicited videos. Let's not even talk about fraudsters who will follow the link you posted and join the group just to mine numbers of their potential victims.

With all due respect Sir/Ma, for the benefit of those who can and will gain valuable information from this thread as you also have, we are not interested in your WhatsApp group.

Thanks and best regards

Both Taken.

A friend of mine is giving out one bedroom in a fully furnished 4 bedroom detached house in Brampton. You will be sharing with other two men, Nigerians and single. Very lovely place and you will learn a lot from your housemates. Its $1000 per month. Hit me if interested.

Another one-bedroom fully furnished and spacious basement in Brampton, Suitable for young people. The couple currently occupying will be leaving in Jan. $2300 per month all inclusive. Hit me up if interested.

Can you imagine? You have arrived in a country to improve your economic standpoint and now advising others not to come because christmas day was dry. Something is not right.

koife:
Brosie, I don't care. Nigeria is such a lovely country, it hard to explain except you experience certain things. Bro abeg no ccurm hia

A lot of are coming to the realization that Canada, and Ontario to be precise is very expensive.

When Canadian officials say to bring POF they are not joking oh.

HazeeyzaH:
Exactly ooo... its so crazy

just helped a few travelers in this situation. The snag is that they needed to find their way to my house and back to the airport. The bad thing is that the uber fair will cost you the same amount for a night stay.

Oldfashioned145:
Hi. Is there anyone in Toronto who can accommodate me for a few days or knows a cheap bed and breakfast in the area. Ive been at the airport for the past two days because air Canada cancelled all their flights and I don't have a blanket with me because my hand luggage was checked in at doha. Help please!

i use international anytime i am in Canada

Jeffi7:
Pls what is the documents needed to start driving in Canada?

Which is more important? Local drivers license or international drivers license?

What are the steps to take to start driving in canada

i was wondering sef

ednut1:
Average income in uk is 31k, people who did cleaning jobs when i dey uk some 14 years ago ( minimum wage then was 5.50) were able to save and build houses in Nigeria lol . 60k na big man salary for Uk, some doctors in Uk earn that.

It is just to encourage same-sex application instead of aduro based on this ground.

The shooting had nothing to do with the housing crisis. Its a mental issue. Anything can trigger people with mental issues. Unfortunately, in America there is easy access to weapons hence it is common there. In Canada access to weapon is not as easy as in yankee so these type of cases are limited.

tshtsh:
There was a shooting 5 mins from me in Vaughan last night. 5 people lost their lives. Surprised the media (BBC, CBC,CNN...) are not reporting the full story. The gunman was also killed by police in the process. At the end the Canada (especially GTA) housing crisis is now turning some people to become gunmen.
The story in the neighborhood is that a man was frustrated by members of his Condo Board and out of anger he got a gun and shot 6 of the board members.

In Canada today there is a limit on annual rental increases. This makes it impossible for landlords to increase rents for existing tenants by more than 2.5% in Ontario. Some landlords and Condo management coys find ways to frustrate tenants out of the building so they can rent to new tenants at an uncapped price. Looks like they did that to a 73 year old man who has been a tenant in the apartment for 11 years. Probably retired and faced with financial pressures as well as being too old to face the hurdles of finding a house he may have opted to pour his anger on the condo board members that took the decision against him. Wahala no dey finish

Do exactly what you have outlined. No apologies at all. I know you are a good person from your write up but pls do exactly what you have planned without any guilt, but please be careful with these moves now as your life might be in danger in his hands.

HI NAIRALANDERS ;
I am about to seperate from husband who sponsored me in school because I am fed up.

I came from a very poor family. I met my husband when I was 19. He wasn't doing well either, he told me he was an engineer in a public hospital but as time went on I got to know he was a level 3 plumber in the civil service.

Well I was young, naive, hungry and blindly in love. He went to trade school and I encouraged him to go back to school for HND or bsc but he said he was going to sponsor me first. I got pregnant for him in my first year in school when I was 20yrs old, my mom was against it. I got to know he was 13years older than me while pregnant. HE TOLD ME HE WAS 26yrs old.

My mom wanted me to abort it, instead i packed my things and stayed with him.
He abused my mom and I defended him. I gave birth while in school and he continued to support me both financially. We fought during those period, series of red flag but I decided to ignore it as long he wasn't beating me. He abused me emotionally. He knew my family was poor and there was no where i could go.

I finished school and my friends told me not to marry a plumber, I declined and told them he promised to go to school.

I finished school and i was scared of depending on him with my child, we were not doing fine at all.

I had no choice than to date a rich guy who helped me with a good job in the year 2017. HE got to know about the guy and i broke up with him. I apologized and we GOT MARRIED LEGALLY and got pregnant with my second child. We spent only 150k.

All the money i made from my salary, I made sure i supported him, i moved out of the family house in the year 2019, we have been there for 8yrs, he couldnt afford to rent a house, I spent 400k, both of us had no friends, we only had each other. I helped my brother and they did well in business. I asked my husband to go back to school, he was still adamant.

We went to a traditional person and they told him there is a curse on his head that i should bathe and do some sacrifice for him, which i did.

By year 2020 he was doing fine, we didn't even go hungry during the lockdown, I supported him with 2million naira and we did our traditional marriage.

IT was his business patners who were notorious cheat and neglected their wife that did his groom men, They introduced him to an association, i have asked him what is the aim of the association, he cant tell me, it is a secret.

3 months after the wedding, he started cheating and even beat me for the first time on our wedding anniversary becaus of the girl,
When he saw i withdrawed all financia assistant like paying half of the rent and paying one of the kids school fees. he called family members to beg me and we settled and i bought a family car for us to use.

Since then i have been walking on eggs around him, he tells me i should respect his age that we are not mate, he beat me again last 3 months saying i am as proud as my mother and i abused his mother back.

This monday i had to run after bus to go to work because i told im i was looking for mOney, and he said i just call him a thief. I had no money on me i had to call my brother to give me money. He wasnt even bothered. He doesn't call me again, WE DONT GO OUT AGAIN


I don't stress him for expensive outing our wigs or phone.
I bought my phone or trip myself out. He would rather hang out with his friends. He tells his friends and the kids i wear cheap outfits.

My mind is now strong. I don't cry again if he offends me nor complain.

I want to divorce him , sell the car and use it for this UK study route and take my children as dependent without him knowing. I am tired of the marriage already. He is 44 while I am 31. i want to move on with my life.

Sorry for the long write up
