Princejebs:
I don't know why nairaland like to promote bad news about crypto but good news will be left aside. I read the news on cointelegraph and it was said that the exchange will be auction for sale so as to return customers money to them.
So auctioning the exchange will raise $190m customer's fund. You're not smart at all

10k yearly and about 5k per term is even reasonable self.
You are exempted for the English proficiency test
You don't need it for the admission unless you just want to do it.
It does not give you an edge in funding

What you saw there is about 3,999k approximately to 4k not 300 that's for the continuing fee
Thank you sir... But I still don't understand
Is it
Year 1- $10k
Year 2- $10k
Continual fee-$800

Or

Year 1- $10k
Year 2= no fee
continual fee= $800

Pls help clarify
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 15 by Ocon: 3:13pm On Feb 04, 2019
Please,.does this mean the whole tuition for the program is $10k ($10k for 1st year and $300 for 2nd year).

Also, is it important I do English proficiency test?
Does the test gives any edge as regard Funding or Assistantship?
If yes, which will you advise between TOEFL and IELTS?

Thanks

I think you are confusing the words of "the company handling my app" with the words of Immigration and Citizenship Canada. Ordinarily, photos are not expected in your documents. To my knowledge, this rule hasn't been annulled. Folks go this route (i.e. adding photos) in their desperate bid to satisfy or convince the Immigration officer of the connection that have asserted the have with someone.

On a bad day, this can work against you. On the aspect of funds, except you have full funding for your studies, any amount below 10 million is not likely going to scale through. Serious and professionals agents know this and that may be why they (not the embassy) returned the application. Canadian Embassies (Visa Section) don't return applications; they rather refuse or approve.
Please, does this implies that if you have an account statement with less than 10milli (like 2millie or less) you visa is going to be denied?

If you read through this platform/thread very carefully, you will realise that the use of agents for tour application os STRONGLY discouraged!!! Agents seem to have done more harm by good and will often misrepresent their clients. You stand a risk of being banned or even prosecuted (ideally) if you choose to go this route. If you have 420k to give an agent I'll advise you save your money rather than spend so much and still have regrets.
Thank you sir

TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 3 by Ocon: 7:43am On Jan 30, 2019
Good morning house, please I need your opinion and advice here.
My friend and I wish to leave this country for Canada or US. I suggest we apply for a student visa as we're almost done with NYSC but he's concerned about the money involved (we're both can't afford it and no sponsor). I try to convince him we might be lucky to get a full or half scholarship but he's having non of it.

So yesterday, he took me to an agent who he claimed has successfully gotten Canada and US visa for people. On getting there, the agent said he's going to help us apply for a tourist visa which will be made legal on getting there. He said we will pay an initial amount of 70k and then 350k when the Visa is out.

Now, to my best of knowledge and then information i've gotten from this thread and the US thread. I deduce

1) it's almost impossible to be granted a visiting visa when you've no relatives or any important thing like conference or tour to do over there.

2) With no previous travel history, no landed property, strong ties at home or a fat account statement. Our chances is almost zero.

3) Also learnt that the US and Canada share travel history with each other and I am afraid if we apply for this visa and was eventually denied, won't it raise an issue when I want to apply for a student visa later.

4) I asked the agent all this questions but he replied that he has he ways around all this especially the bank statement and intent. I am afraid of this as I think he might want to forged or probably include false documents in the application.

I try reasoning with my friend but he's not convinced enough and he's hell-bent of going ahead with the agent.

Please is it advisable to go ahead with the agent or I should just apply for the student visa and be hopeful whether I could get a funding.

Thanks...

Hi, Good evening.

Will like to say some little things.

1st, follow your passion. Either Agriculture or ICT is ok anywhere in the world likewise in Germany. Depends on what your passion is. I'm studying Agrobiotechnology here in Germany anyways.



2ndly Sir, studying either Agriculture or ICT is OK and you ll surely get a job but at it all, pls come with a open mind. You can be done studying in Germany and migrate to any other country you wish so you don't have to think of Germany, Germany, Germany all the time. Come with a open mind as i earlier said.

Best wishes in your quest.
Thanks for your response sir. I have a B.Agric in Horticulture. I love my course but then survival is the key. Which is why I'm considering taking a 2nd degree since everywhere focus is on IT and shifted from Agriculture.

But your post and Eldee's comment gave me lot of Hope and relieve. I'll go make more research and keep you updated

Thank you very much sir

Eldeee:
Am just thinking of the best approach to this questions of yours. But let me use myself as an example before talking of other possible options.

I also have a B.Agric like you but in soil science and currently admitted for an masters degree in Geomatics. That actually have been what I wanted immediately I finished from the University cos I have a proper understanding of what it entails and am also passionate about it.

I don't know what your discipline is as you didn't state such here, but however you need to know what you want to do, cos passion is paramount nevertheless.

As regards agriculture, I believe food being one of the basics needs of man cannot be overlooked anywhere in the world. I understand Germany thrives more on technology, but nevertheless they will still have prospects for agriculture even though they are not really the best in Europe so to speak, but they are the manufacturers of the popular John Deere tractors. So invariably there should be some prospects nevertheless.

Hope this helps.
Thanks for your input sir, I have a B.Agric in Horticulture. I'll go back and make more research on schools availability and prospects...

Thanks
