please is it that good?

Approval!!
Hi I’m a newbie been a silent reader since I submitted in August . I decided to post to encourage everyone from the wave of refusals

Timeline: online route
Submission/upfront medicals- August 15th
Medicals passed- August 22nd
Eligibility review started- August 22nd
Bvl/approval/ppr- October 1st
Passport submitted-October 2nd
Passport returned- December 2nd

This was my first application although I got visit visa last year but it expired in June cos my passport expired

The last 2 month were the longest months of my life I kept thinking of what could have been wrong for my passport to be held but thank God

I didn’t write SOP/LOE

Docs submitted were:
* Letter of Acceptance and fee statement
* Receipt of 1st semester fees as well as telex copy (paid with zenith bank)
* Proof of funds: letter of sponsorship stating that the amount estimated by the school as living costs has been transferred to my account , my bank statement 3.2m (11CAD), parents bank statement not up to 1m, parents payslips and my employment letter .
* Then all the required forms

Course applied for is Post graduate Certificate at Seneca College.

All in all it was Gods favor cos when I read about all the SOPs that people submitted and saw closing balances I had anxiety. My application itself took 6 weeks and 4 days

The Buhari administration is currently undertaking 524 road and bridge construction projects across the country.  This was made known by the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola.

Fashola made the revelation while updating the Federal Executive Council on the ongoing road and bridge construction/rehabilitation projects nationwide.

According to him, 80 of them as priority projects scheduled for completion in the 2020-2021 fiscal year. They were prioritized to enhance ease of doing business in the locations.

The Minister also revealed that every State in the Federation including the FCT has at least three such ongoing projects.

Listed as priority projects include 27 financed with Sovereign SUKUK Fund. Another 47 projects were scheduled for substantial completion in 2020/2021 and other priority projects, two roads leading to the ports and four major bridges.

Fashola also noted that Federal roads and bridges (categorized from A1 to A9) are major arterial routes that connect all states in Nigeria including the Federal Capital Territory. He adding that the routes and bridges linked cities with high economic activities and carried majority of Heavy Goods Vehicles which gradually dispersed through the link routes to different parts of the country.

Long post alert

I hate when I log into this forum and see excessive refusals. The truth is your refusal isn't because;
1. You truly have a vague SOP
2. Your academic program doesn't show a true purpose of visit.
3. Weak family ties or any of those vague reasons they give.

Since I got here I have analysed so many trends with international students from other countries most especially India and China. And here is my conclusion;

1. Most of this international students can't even speak good English hence, how did they scale through the SOP part that they mostly tell us we've written something "poor or vague"

P.S: Nationality withheld in a group presentation one international student wrote a report and I wanted to faint. A JSS3 Nigerian student can't write like that!

2. Most of them don't even get study permits for relevant courses that correlate with any work experience or whatsoever that we otherwise get refused for under the contempt of "purpose of visit" or "limited employment opportunities"

Now the reasons why this international students scale through the hectic STUDY PERMIT requirements are because;

1. They pay a year tuition
2. Show verifiable proof of living expenses (10kCAD)
3. They have viable financial institutions that give student loans with flexible payment intervals.
4. They hardly submit fraudulent documents which can ruin the chances of others.
5. Indians and Chinese immigrants invest a lot in Canada if you go to greater Toronto areas or Vancouver you'll confirm this.

So tell me why they won't be favoured. They don't care if they don't have a clear purpose of visit or whatsoever PRUDENCE is the order of the day

Also another clear reason why we Nigerians have so many refusals is simply because the study permit program in Canada as become over successful and there is simply not enough space. You need to see the way universities and colleges cash out yearly from international students it's unbelievable and when you notice that some other countries are given more priority then where do we stand. Where do we stand in a situation;
1. Where we're using 2/3 co-sponsors where some Asian kid as paid one year school fees and still doesn't mind paying 1kcad every month on living expenses.

2. Where do we stand when some people have ruined others chances through fraudulent documents

3. Where do we stand when other nationals are purchasing GIC(Guaranteed investment certificate) in the tune of 10kcad upwards to show proof of fund and we are still drawing table on how our uncle/brother/sister will sponsor us and getting #500 affidavit to support our claim

Please guys don't beat yourself up the system is flawed you aren't stupid or unfortunate it's just how the system works. I have met 2 immigration lawyers in Canada and I have seen some truth about the system.


Canada’s lack of a federal business immigration program and the difficulty of entering as a skilled worker through the express-entry system is adding to the overwhelming numbers of international students lining up for permanent residency. People from abroad are becoming students, just to have a pathway to immigration, he says.

“They're forcing people that really shouldn't go to school into the school system. And that's why, perhaps, the refusal rates are higher


On the contrary you can set yourself apart by boosting your chance if you have the means;
1. Pay a year tuition
2. Keep living expenses in the tune of 10KCAD in a fixed deposit and let it mature for at least 3months
3. Avoid fraudulent documents
4. Keep your SOP simple and straight to the point
5. Avoid using confusing documents
6. I'm sorry to say but limit the amount of co-sponsors if possible
7. Apply for relevant courses.

P.S: At thus rate the Canadian government might have post graduate work programs for people that study specific technical courses only while the rest will go home just like what we witnessed in UK.

Keep your heads high and keep pushing. It is well. Cheers

Walahi Jonathan is a fool, I wonder why people still support him, this man neglected his people for good six years, look at what Buhari is doing to kastina/daura

eightyeight:
You seem leave out the part were students are getting fraudulent letter of admissions. Even going as far as making up a name of an institution that does not exist in canada.


As much as we want to blame the Canadian embassy, we as prospective students are the problem. When thing's like this continue to happen, it makes the whole process hard for other people.

4 years ago I was running away from people who borrowed me money. I fell from a palm tree during one of my excape.
It was a boy I helped 13 years ago who came to my rescue. He had become super rich. He paid off my debt and flew me to John Hopkins hospital for treatment .
Never forget your roots. That is what good luck failed to realize. Otueke is no better of than it was before

Gaari dey house, but e no dey propel me at all that very moment so I proceeded to go outside and check out if I could find anything eatable as the hunger was so excruciating and I couldn't even see well. But before that I made sure I disposed any sharp object like knife, scissors and even forks before leaving my room cos believe me.. The thought of using one of em was beginning to crop up in my mind..
Everywhere was dark when I left my room but I couldn't go back inside plus I thought it would be OK if I walk about a bit.
I walked up to the first place where I had hoped to get something to eat, I knocked and knocked for several minutes to no response and proceeded to go to the second and the third place.. It was at this third place I decided not to leave the woman's doorstep until she come outside to sell whatever it is I wanted to buy for me.. I begged and begged the woman for about 15 minutes before she reluctantly came outside to attend to me.. At that very point, I knew I would eventually survive the scare but half my brain is still not functioning properly to the extent that I forgot everything I went to buy where I bought it and had to go back after getting home to retrieve them back.
Bread, lucozade boost, milk, biscuit, groundnut are just some of the stuffs I bought and was eating some on my way home when I saw the scariest thing that night.. It was an old torn newspaper lying on the road and my torchlight suddenly flashed on it.. I was practically petrified when I saw OBITUARY boldly written on it. I was shocked and I begin to wonder why it was that particular time i should see something like that of all days.
This newspaper scared me a lot but it also played a great role in calming me down cos I could see that it was my mind playing some silly tricks with me and I could fathom everything that happened that very night as the devil's work.
I got home and ate everything I bought and in my bid to stay awake as much as I can.. I lighted up. My gas and started cooking some yams which I had no intention of eating.

The next morning when I woke up and saw the break of dawn.. No one could imagine how happy I was and that very morning I made up my mind never to touch weed again.. But lo and behold my very good people.. I'm typing this with a tie of AZ in my hand

PS: Before anyone would come here and type nonsense in the name of advice, keep it.. No one forced me to relate my experience and I know the benefits and harmful effect of cannabis. My advice only for anyone reading this is to cut it low and fight the addiction as much as you could. Morning oo��

Good day guys. I just noticed that my recently acquired Toyota Corolla Verso (2005) jerks when accelerating. What could be the likely cause of this ?

Guys it's not scabies it's called microfilariasis a certain type of worm that causes crazy itches. They've bn outbreak in Nigeria. And WHO has been distributing the vaccine. Kindly check your local health centre or hospital to take yours. For more info pls dm me

freemanbubble:
My uncle who is a pharmacist says lot of people are complaining about this new infection in town that causes severe and intense itching
Even the itching becomes worse at night. It forms blisters( small small bump on the skin) all over the body. The whole penis. and scrotum [itches]
Even after peeling because of scratches still it will continue to itch.

Some say it scabies
Some say it is sexual infection that is inside the body of woman and it doesn't show any symptoms but when a man have sex with a woman who have it then the man will experience the symptoms.

Nairaland famiy I need help.

Somethings been eating me up. I had sex with my boyfriend some weeks later i started falling so sick I will try to point out all I can remember
*Came down with what I felt was fever was burning hot so hot you just need to come close to feel the heat

*at night I sweat. Not just the usual sweat but one I have to change my clothes two times a nigbt(this happened for like a week)

* I started feeling so cold especially in the morning. Doctor said it was pneumonia + a cough that lasted for three weeks plus.

*and the rashes I ve never have in my whole life spreaded all over my arms and back as well as my breast region.

* I also had serious muscle ache. Serious that my mom had to help me massage it. My neck did hurt too it felt like someone hit me with a blank on my neck

* nodes on my neck, groin, as well as ear.
* I started having blurred vision and sores on my lips like fever blisters

* and then injuries in my mouth, weird ones
* I have oral trush at least thats what I thought them to be. White tongue I have had this before but this onr is different. With slimy white things in my mouth every time

*I also experienced dehydration and dry mouth.
* also had a delayed flow

The symptoms are so much I can't even mention it all. Most of these lasted for about a month +. I still have cold till this day. I shiver most times and its my major fear. And the rashes are still there.

This Is the major problem. The nurse who was handling me said it might be an STD maybe HIV I took plethora of test including HIV after 3 months all came back negative, I was told to wait 6montgs to check for HIv again it was still negativr. During this month I have seen so many doctors, private and government all they do is givr me drugs but I still experience the pneumonia cold( no cough) and occasional mouth sores as well as the rash. My boyfriend now my ex took HIV too it was negative.
Please doctors in the house what can this be. I have read so many threads here on naira land of people who had same experience but some later turned + they might be lying though.

I heard after 6 months and test is still negative then its not it. My question now is. What is wrong with me. I have spent so much on drugs and test. And no doctor is able to say what my problem is. Its making me crazy as I am even scared to shower because of the cold and I can't let people see my body due to rash.

I need help.

They are lots of flight schools in Canada and in choosing, some things needs consideration but most important is your budget. NEVER think that you can work and pay your way through flight school so budget is impt. About bad schools, mostly are in the US, few in Canada and you fall when you go for the unrealistic cheaper school, as they say * penny wise and pounds foolish* . best aviation will help you narrow down your search and from my experience go for school in provinces with low cost of living, not the big cities. Holla anytime for specific info...............

Asuku Jamiu Abdulkareem, the new Chief of Staff to Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello, has alleged that the impeached deputy governor of Kogi state, Elder Simon Achuba, left a charm in his government house apartment after he hurriedly exited the residence.

Elder Simon Achuba was impeached recently by the Kogi state House of Assembly.

In a Facebook post, Asuku Jamiu Abdulkareem said the charm was discovered when maintenance officers and security personal went to prepare the place to host some visitors for today’s flag off Rally.

”Forgotten juju item by impeached deputy Governor of Kogi. We found this at his official residence after he hurriedly moved out. This is really sad. Achuba has been informed to come pick his item.

In Kogi, we believe in God not juju. Maybe this explains why he is no longer part of the “New Direction” government” he wrote.

The impeached deputy governor who speaks on the Pulpit at Knowledge of the Truth Church Lokoja, equally led a government delegation of Christians to the holy land in 2016.

When all these hard work go begin pay off, I will definitely share the love with my nairaland family. You guys are the best!

I had my birthday on Monday, there was nothing much to celebrate because I told my close friends that I wanted to be left alone on that day.
I still can't explain why, but I'm always sad and depressed on the days leading to my birthday and on my birthday itself. I always want to be left alone and all I want is for that day to just end. I don't know if any of you can relate to this but that's just what happens to me. I feel incredibly sad and depressed because I start thinking and over analyzing my life.

The highlight of my birthday is usually when my mom calls to pray for me and that's all I honestly look forward to on my birthday. My birthday for me is a day of reflection, I have a personal tradition of writing my self letters on my birthday. So I send letters (email) to my future self that will deliver to me on the next birthday and then I read the one from the previous year.
The email usually contains my plans and goals for the year ahead, my current problems and things bothering me, prayer points and things I want God to do for me etc. It's really good to know that time heals everything; nothing lasts forever and every problem you're facing shall pass. I realized this after reading the letter I sent myself from last year's birthday. All the problems and issues I had in my life then are non existent now. It's really uplifting to know that any problem I am facing right now is temporary because with time everything will be all right.

I really can't wait for this week to end already because it's been one hell of a crazy week. It's currently Autumn here in Saint Petersburg so I decided to shoot a video to show how beautiful Autumn is in Russia. The best place to get the kind of aesthetically pleasing aerial footage I want is in the outskirts of the city (Leningrad Oblast) Which is around 40km away from Saint Petersburg city. There is a little village called Pushkin which has nice foliage which means it will be picturesque in autumn. I told my friend I wanted to go there to shoot and she has a car so she agreed to drive me so I don't have to waste money on train. When we arrived Pushkin, I brought out my drone to fly but I couldn't because the village we're in is apparently A No Fly Zone so the GPS on my drone was automatically jammed and I couldn't fly there. I asked around and I found out The Catherine's Palace (Former residence of Russian Tsars) is located in that village that's why it's a no fly zone. I was so angry cos the only reason we came to that village is to get aerial footage and now we've wasted our time for nothing. We left and to make matters worse, there was heavy traffic so we spent 2 hours on the road. When we returned to Saint Petersburg, my friend was still kind enough to drive me around so I could find other places in the city center with foliage and I was able to finally get some nice footage for my channel.


Whew! so that's what I've been up to lately.

Pictures from the village we visited. First pic is side view of the Catherine palace.

Wickedtruths:
1. They maltreated their workers and had labour issues. Sacked their workers.

2. Rumours started flying that La Casera was unwholesome and using strong acidic chemicals for its drink.

3. This BIG COLA drink (not Bigi) came into the market and gave 65 cl for a price lesser than the 50cl La Casera was selling.

4. Bigi employed the sacked La Casera workers and started producing drinks using BIG's formula which is Reduced price, more quantity than La Casera.

5. The time La Casera realised they had messed up was when Bigi introduced Bigi Apple and Bigi Tropical. That killed La Casera.

6. La Casera started producing 60cl to counter Bigi, but it was too late.

7. Bigi produces in Ogun state, hence paying less manufacturing taxes compared to La Casera producing in Lagos.

La Casera as at today is targeting markets that Bigi doesn't reach or aren't interested in cause of high logistical costs.
