THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!!!!!


ISSA GOLDEN MAIL THINGS!!!

Here is my “brief story”… read at your own risk:

I have always believed that someday I would relocate fully out of Nigeria… whether it was for studies or something.. I just knew that my place was not this Naija. This was some years back.
Well, in 2011… when I was writing my ICAN, I had made friends with a couple of colleagues (also writing) the exam with me. One of them gave me some hints that he really wanted to leave Naija soon.. but never told me how. I also never bothered to ask.
I lost his contact, but got it back in 2014, only for me to see the kind of “abroad” pictures he was posting. I was like, “hope you are enjoying your vacation ooo” and he was like… “ Nooo.. this is not a vacation! I live here”
O boy!! That was how my ear/antennae just stood up ooo… I started interrogating him like an FBI agent… I asked him about the immigration process and how he went about it. He simply just sent me a link to read up on…. And that was the end. I was demotivated even before reading it properly. That was how I gave up on the idea.
In 2016, I stumbled on Australian immigration information and followed it gracefully. I gathered all the necessary information I needed and saved on my system. Good thing is that, I have never been that person to embark on a journey without thoroughly researching and asking myself very tough questions. I was so ready to embark on it… but did not have the funds. Well, the issue was not even the funds per se, but the fact that when I informed my parents about it, they totally kicked against it. Their argument was that, Aussie was too far and it would make me forget Naija. My relatives also added to this perspective, with examples of my distant cousins that had gone to Aussie many years ago but had not returned. I was completely discouraged and let this phase slide again.
After the above incidences, I had now decided to face my “Nigerian fate”… and so focused solely on my work and all.
In December 2017, while going home with one of the staff of my clients, she kept asking me about my career, what I intended to do in the medium to the long term etc. I kept downloading my plans passionately to her. I kept emphasizing on the professional exams I was set out to do, how I looked forward to growing through the career ladder in Nigeria and so on…. If only I had known that all those plans discouraged her from telling me about the Canada immigration EE process, I probably would have kept quiet. She told me later after I had commenced the process, that she wanted to tell me about the EE process, but seeing how passionate I was about the “Nigerian Plans” made her hold that key information back.
Well, fast forward to April 2018, while working at the office, I overheard one of my close friends/colleague telling another colleague about the EE immigration process and how he had gotten his Visa and bought his ticket ahead of his exit in August 2018. Immediately I heard that, I interjected, then asked him to brief me on the full information. Funny enough, the person he was telling was acting uninterested back then despite informing him about the process since far back 2017.
Well, as a sharp guy who had been looking for such an opportunity, I asked him what it would entail… and he gave me a brief highlight based on his knowledge about it. I was not satisfied with what he told me, so went ahead to research on it myself. That was when I stumbled on this thread and decided to feed on it like it was breakfast and Lunch. I dwelt there for days reading from the past information and PPR stories (days of Dupyshoo and Zandora etc). Then I knew I had to commence immediately.
However, I remember clearly that when my friend told me about the associated financial commitment for a single applicant, my heart sank… as I wondered how I would have been able to finalize my POF. But God came through for me.
I registered immediately for my IELTS in April to be written in May… and immediately sent my B.Sc and ACCA transcript (membership certificate) to Wes for evaluation.

IELTS
First IELTS was written in May: Lost out in Listening as I had 7.5 (BC)
Second IETLS was written on 7 July: LSRW – 8.5, 8.5, 7, 7 (BC)
Prior to the first IELTS, I had practiced a bit, but was slightly over confident because I felt that it was just a simple test of English which shouldn’t have been a problem at all for me. I however practiced the maps for a whole day using YouTube, and became a master in it as I was not failing any questions on maps anymore. Unfortunately, maps did not come out in the first exam.
When the result came out that morning, I was not happy with myself, but I told myself that I would channel all that efforts to scheduling for another exam. I was reading negative comments all over the place, on groups and so on… especially people that did not pass the exams like me… but I shut out those thoughts to avoid being discouraged.
Immediately the next day came, I quickly scheduled for another, raised the draft of N75,000 and paid to BC. I thought that this would motivate me to read ooo… but boy!! My work wouldn’t allow me. There was absolutely no time at all. The night before the exam, I just skimmed through some lines and slept off… went for the exam the next day… and the rest, they say, is history!

Educational Credential Assessment
I used the conventional WES for my ECA… and it was a smooth ride. Luckily for me, they were not requesting for WAEC then.
So I reached out to my school to send my transcript (which took just between 14 – 21 working days) and to ACCA which took 14 working days. Also, note that I commenced the ECA transcript transmission alongside my preparation for IELTS. I also sent my B.Sc. and ACCA membership certificates to WES via Hellofax.
My WES report came out on 19 June 2018 with a summary of “2 or more degrees”. This was a complete breeze. In fact, I didn’t have to reach out to them for any information or complaints.

ITA
As at 20th July, 2018… I had my IELTS result and ECA ready… but did not dive into the pool because of my funds were not completely in the state I wanted it. I had to wait for some more funds before diving. I had a score of 468, so I was certain that I would get ITA once I dived. So I made up my mind to patiently wait till I was ready.
I had timed September 5 as my chosen ITA date… so I entered the pool on September 1. I got ITA and was so excited. It felt so surreal. Immediately, I swung to action and started to follow up with all necessary documentation.

Post ITA
i. PCC
This was a breeze. In fact, I had gotten a contact from my friend that told me about the EE process, I called the person a day before I went there. I took a one-hour break during my lunch time at work, went to their office asking of the Police officer I spoke to a day earlier. That was when I realized the guy had retired. However, the person he told me to ask of, happened to be his successor. The finger prints were taken, all the necessary things were done, price was negotiated to my desired 5k, then I picked up my completed PCC and headed back to work. I was happy!
I scanned the pink copy along with the finger printed copy and merged both together using my Adobe Acrobat. I attached the document to the PCC place holder

ii. Passport photograph
This was snapped a day before I did the PCC at LUTH. I also got the contact from my friend. I ensured to take both soft and hard copy of the pictures before leaving the place. I ensured that the pictures were well measured in my presence in line with CIC requirements. The guy was experienced on CIC requirements, so it was hassle free exercise. The price was also very reasonable.
I attached the soft copy version to the placeholder in my EE profile.

iii. Educational Certificates
As usual, I merged my University B.Sc Certificate with my ACCA membership certificate, ECA report and IELTS report using Adobe Acrobat. I attached the merged documents to the relevant placeholder in my App. I used Nigeria as the ACCA location, as this was where I wrote the exam.

iv. International Passport and travel documents
This was also scanned and attached to the relevant placeholder.

V. Medical Assessment
This was where I faced my second challenge through the EE process. I attempted to go through the normal route like everyone. Called IOM, Children’s Practice and Q-life to book… Lo and behold, the prices of IOM and Children’s practices were ridiculously high, so I took them completely off my list. Unfortunately, Qlife that was fairly priced, was booked till about October 20 something. I knew that I couldn’t wait till then, so I had to device a quick alternative. Then the idea of gate crashing came to my mind.
The next day, I left my house very early, arrived there before 7 am and wrote my name down. I thought it was that automatic. Well, after such a long wait till about 8:30, the tests commenced. However, before they commenced, they separated those that had booked from those that had not, just like me… I was disheartened. They told us to go to the reception to book our test dates. Upon arriving there, the receptionist recognized my name and tried to confirm why I had come earlier than the supposedly booked date of 20 something. I immediately pleaded with her, and told her that I had received ITA, and need to do it urgently as it was time bound. She empathized with me and decided to reschedule me for the next day.
I was so excited and did not worry about the lost time for the day. I came to the hospital the next day (19 September 2018) for the test. All was completed and results were fine.
I just scanned the up-front medical slip and attached to the relevant placeholder in my application.

vi. Proof of Funds (POF)
This was gathered overtime but ready long before my ITA. My complete POF was ready by August as I had to sell my car to make up the outstanding balance. It was so saddening as I began to trek and my mobility reduced drastically. Infact when I was to sell the car, I had my fair share of challenges.
The car dealer I gave to sell the car on my behalf suddenly claimed that one of the most important vehicle documents was missing, the Customs document. I was so shattered. How on earth could this get missing? Did I forget it when I went to make photocopies? Or was the dealer trying to play a smart one on me?? Those were few of the numerous thoughts I had. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a single copy of the document and potential buyers were not in any way willing to risk purchasing the car without these document, despite its clean physical outlook. At the end of the day I had to part with some substantial sum of money to get another one from Customs.
Well, I sold it, added it to the funds I previously had and placed all in a Fixed Deposit (FD) investment split into 70% (due in 6 months) and 30% due in 1 year. I ensured that the bank clearly stated that “the funds could be retrieved at will”… and the fact that only a percentage of the interest would be affected and not the principal sum that was booked.
I scanned the FD certificate, merged it with a screenshot of foreign exchange for CAD to Naira on October 4, a certificate of non-indebtedness and my 25% pension (for the purpose of fluctuations in exchange). I merged these documents and attached in the relevant placeholder.

vii. Reference Letter
This was another slightly shaky area. I actually thought that it would be a walk in the park, but how wrong I was. I obtained a reference letter from one of my past places of employment where I had spent 3 years, but felt the need to go the extra mile to obtain same from my current place of employment. This was because I felt they might have still asked. Getting the 3 year reference letter in CIC format from my past place of employment was not difficult at all. However, getting reference letter from my current place of employment where I had spent almost 2 years was now challenging.
Now, considering that I had not really stayed long in this place, I was skeptical about letting them know about my immigration plans, so I sent a mail to our HR to prepare the letter in CIC format. But they refused and insisted I obtained the necessary approval from my unit head, which would mean me letting the cat out of the bag so soon. My unit head was out of the country, so I had to wait till my unit head arrived before obtaining the approval. We had a deep concerted discussion where I explained that I had considered immigrating because of my long term plans. Approval was eventually granted and the required reference letter n CIC format was provided. However, this made me delay my submission to October 4.
I merged my 2 reference letters only and attached to the relevant placeholders. I did not attach pay slips because the reference letters alone were completely aligned to CIC format.

AOR & Post AOR
I eventually submitted my application on October 4 at 11:55 pm. I paid for the application fee but not the RPRF as I did not have the funds as at then. 28 days after, I got the Medicals Passed (MEP) notification and biometrics request. I went immediately the next day to do my biometrics.
The wait then started.
On December 3, I then decided to pay my RPRF unsolicited. No RPRF mail was sent to me, I just went to CIC website, paid and attached the downloaded receipt to a CSE (alongside my now rolled over FD certificate) and sent to them.
I was determined to wait it out, all the way, at least till 4 months before knowing my visa office, but the pressure around me wouldn’t let me be. So, I sent a follow-up CSE reminder to confirm if the RPRF receipts and FD roll over certificates had been transmitted to my visa office. I also included my request to know my Visa office in the same mail. The response came a day after, where I was informed that it was Ottawa. I was so excited.
The wait continued….
On 6th January I ordered my GCMS notes as I had not seen a single ghost update (Casper) unlike others. It arrived on 1st week of February, and I realized when I read through it, that only criminality was passed. Eligibility and Security had not started. I was so downcast by this recent development, but friends around cheered me up.
I kept the hopes alive but kept getting even more emotionally drained as the days faded by and as my CIC time bar crawled closer to the deadline day. What even added to this mental stress was seeing new applications in November and December getting PPRs before me. Wow! Lots of thoughts started to flood through my head. Did I do something wrong?? Did I offend anybody?? What was the problem actually??
Every time I opened my CIC account, there was no single update in my account whatsoever. Casper (the ghost) was indeed not friendly to me. I became a ghost hunter and praying every day for ghosts in my account. All to no avail. I was distraught and discouraged from even opening my account as I just felt it would be the same thing, however, I would say a silent prayer, for God to bring my turn closer.
Days went by, and it became less than 30 days to go. I felt it was due time for me to order my second GCMS notes. I mentioned it in the WhatsApp group I was on, and people encouraged me to go ahead. Some people also encouraged me to follow it through with a call, which I sluggishly accepted. I ordered the notes on 6th March… then attempted calling CIC on 7th March, but it did not go through. I temporarily gave up. On 8th March, I just felt the motivation to call again, with very little expectation. My waiting time was about 5 mins. When the voice at the other end rang, it made me shudder slightly. Well I downloaded all my details to her in response to her questions and followed it through with a question about the status of my profile.
Lo and behold!, She told me that my file was just approved on the 7th (the day before). I thought I didn’t hear her clearly… Lol. I had to ask her if she was sure about what she said and she reiterated her statement, with more audacity. My hand immediately started shaking, then I thanked her and went off the line. I still took the information I got from the call with a pinch of salt, because I was yet to see any ghost update like other people would usually get before PPR.
Well, I just decided to check my profile after the call… Lo and behold! My first ghost update since I submitted my application. I was so excited.
And today, PPR!
Glory be to God!!!!

In a nutshell, my timelines are below:
7 July, 2018 - IELTS – LSRW (8.5, 8.5, 7,7)
19 June, 2018 – ECA report arrived (2 or more degrees)
5 September, 2018 – ITA
4 October 2018 – AOR
8 March 2019 – Ghost Update (Casper, the friendly ghost)
12 March 2019 – PPR

Single Applicant

… and it has finally ended in praise!!! It will end in praise for you too in Jesus Name!

My little advice: Remain patient, and positive. Ensure to have positive minded people around you, as they will be the ones to encourage you when it’s looking like you are losing faith in the whole process.
Above all, acknowledge God as the divine helper… “Nothing good comes except it’s from above”

God bless you and thank you for reading my long post!
PS: Please, rate your Prof well oooooooo!!!

Waoh! Tojued, CONGRATULATIONS....... It never occurred to me to check your profile sha, always thought you were a Male. Super-Happy for you and your Family.

Tojued:

Hello, briefly describe your profile, Married/Single? Age, Qualification & kind of job

dejol88:
Sequel to the just concluded elections , I have decided to get out of this country forever. To be sincere i have raised 6 million naira in cash but dont want to invest it here due to unfavorable climate .

Kindly list out 1st world country i can relocate to and the steps to take to achieve it.

Your kind input would forever be appreciated

I'll suggest you re-mark both Writing and Speaking, so you can get your money back in the long run.... Just in case. Best of Luck

TheRayem:
Thanks for the kind words! God bless you.

Everytime I read your post I just smile Ifeoma... You're really a "good thing" sha.... Some bad days @ work, I just have to read funny posts like this an I am elated! Thanks Nne.

Ifeoma77:
Ayam telling you! The longer they take, the more violent the asoebi colours. Right now it's pepper-red skirt, okra-green blouse, gele that is the off-white shade of unripe pawpaw, cover-shoe that is the shade of the foam that comes out when you wash bitterleaf, last but not the least, handbag is the exact purple shade of Thanos' blood.

Dia fada!!

Excuse you, you don't have to concur with what I said but I am positive He can get His money back with His "BVN" (you don't even understand how its done in banks unless you're a banker) & you don't have to be rude with your statement in quote Please. Regards...

Chriswazo:
"Are you awake so?"
Get which money?
Please my man move on with your life, but still keep tab of the guy and be making efforts to get him too.
Your money suppose don digest well for the fraudster bowels by now, move on!

Sorry about this... Just because I have vast-knowledge of financial institution in Nigeria operations, I am positive the culprit would be caught but would have loved you waited till you get your money back before making this post. Reason is that it will slow the process of getting your money back as the culprit might not do banking transactions in the main time. Once again, sorry about this. It is well....

deegov:
it is with heavy heart i am writing this piece,a guy from this thread defrauded of #400,000 on this platform being part of agreed money to help source for SL having told me his brother is in DE as i couldnt block cos of shortage of fund since september 2018,since it has been one story and another.

To refund my money now is not insight ,i have used the account nos i sent money to then to trace his BVN and have told told its gonna be flagged ,he wont be able to do any banking transaction anywhere in nigeria again by the time i am done with him.

Please dont bliv anyone on this thread cos they are all liars especially anything that involves money that is why this country can not be good ,we keep doing bad things to ourselves.

I WILL REVEAL THE NAME OF THE FRAUDSTER ANY MOMENT FROM NOW AND THE ACCOUNT NUMBER TOGETHER WITH BVN NOS.

#MORAL#

EVERYONE HERE ARE THIEVES#

I have been looking out for your gist. Thanks Nemum0615. It has ended in Praise indeed!

Newmum0615:
Part 2:

Our life in Canada thus began. In the first one week, we did quite a lot. Opened bank accounts, got phone lines, spoke with employment advisors, visited my registered midwife and other things here and there. We even attended service at the church my midwife invited us to. The pastor and everyone we met were so accommodating. They prayed for us and welcomed us to Canada.
The second week saw us begin our house search. This part of my landing gist will require its own section because it is really a story for another day. Suffice it to say that it is a story worth telling. It ended well though but the story behind it nkor? As I said, story for another day. Anyway, we had the house thing finally sorted out, so we went ahead and registered my son in the Catholic school nearby, registered for our health cards and did some other things that depended on us getting a permanent address. Job search is underway for my hubby. I am putting a hold on that one for now. I will work the work sometime later. We are just past our third week here and while we get lonely sometimes, we are adjusting nicely. The cold is crazy, but you will be fine. Just dress appropriately and don’t stay outside for extended periods of time. I am surprised at the way my son enjoys the cold even when it seems that it would freeze our blood when we are outside.

Ehen, I didn’t tell you how our cargo business went. The crazy people kept sending our bags in batches. Out of the eight cartons sent from Lagos, five came in three days after our arrival, two came in a day after that and then the eighth one was sent an extra three days after that. In all, it took more than a week for our goods to come in before my husband was able to go and pick them up. The excuse was that the issue was with the freight carrier, KLM and not the agent at NAHCO, nor the cargo agents here in Canada. When the last carton got to Canada, the Canada border guys withheld it to do some thorough search as they told us. Maybe it was the carton containing our OTC medication. I may never know. Na them sabi sha. We got everything we cargoed. Some broken things here and there, but nothing I can’t live with. My husband rented a U-Haul truck, drove out himself from Milton to the cargo office at the airport and picked up the luggage with the help of his friend from Mississauga. He was given one-month free storage at the U-Haul office in Milton and so he kept the goods there till we found a place of our own.
You see ehn, I have plenty gist, but if I continue, Oga number 13 might comman find me in my house and beat me. I will continue some other time. Lemme stop here for now.

I have some tips for those of you who haven’t landed. I am sure you may have read or heard of it before, but make I still remind una.

1. Canada is expensive. Carry enough money with you. You will understand why later.
2. Research and research more. There is just too much information to work with. You may miss out on great benefits if you don’t know
3. Interact with people. It’s important, no matter the country or race. I have read here how you need to avoid your fellow Nigerians. While it may work for some, assess your own peculiar situation and do what it is right for you. I have been blessed by a lot of Nigerians since I got here, and it is not just about the jollof rice and groceries I spoke of earlier. So many useful information we have used here have been given to us by Nigerians. Do you and don’t let anyone’s stereotyping of any race or tribe make you miss out on useful advice. Take what is important and leave the rest for ‘LAWMA’.
4. Shine your eyes well. Ask questions before you take a major step. If you believe in prayer, pray
5. Kijiji is not a bad place to search for a house. We got our place from Kijiji after all the turnioniown that we went through with agents and landlords here. I was skeptical of the site at first, but in the end, na wetin save us
6. Dream big but be realistic in your expectations.
7. Never take another person’s story as your own. What worked for someone else may not necessarily work for you and what didn’t work for someone might just work out for you. Each person’s path is different.
8. There is always somewhere you can get “that thing” cheaper. Ask questions.
9. You may make mistakes at first when you get here. Most people did. Just learn from it and let it form part of your Canadian story. I will tell mine one day.
10. Most Canadians I have met are nice and polite. Very chatty if you’d ask me. It’s just them being them. Nothing to be wary about. I can’t remember how many times I have been asked if I am having a boy or girl, how far along I am, when I am due. I just dey smile dey answer. Something wey I no fit try for Nigeria. Lol. The conversations usually start with the weather, so be prepared to gist if you like.
11. A lot of things you need may just depend on you having a credit card and good credit history. Be prepared to start building your credit history immediately you land
12. Don’t try to cut corners here. Do whatever you need to do the right way. Leave that your Naija sharpness at MMIA.

God has been faithful to us. He was with us in Nigeria. He is here also.

…And so here is my landing gist. Apologies for the length of my post and for the delay. Too many things have been going on with me in this Canada. Don’t also forget that I am an “arugbo’. We tend to be slow sometimes. I took lots of pics to add to my post, but my phone is damaged and I have lost most things. None backed up.

Catch ya guys later.

Its funny, if I was in your shoes though, would have waited till my result is out before posting.... No matter what the result would be. It is well.... Wish you the best! Update us when you have your result would really wanna know how it went in the long run. Thanks

IyaAkani:
Good day everyone, this is a new account opened just to post this. I did my speaking test this morning and I want to share what happened with you guys.

Part one went well but I got stuck in part 2. The question was about discussing an intelligent person I know. I talked about my husband as an intelligent man and along the line surprisingly I went blank however I picked up in part 3 and did well till the end. I zeroed my mind that what will be will be and didn't want to dwell on it too much so that it won't affect tomorrow's tests.

After the test I thank the examiner and left the room. As i was leaving I heard the door opened behind me and thought the examiner wanted to call the next candidate but he called me back to the room.

Examiner: Madam what happened, why were you nervous?
Me: I don't know sir, I just jot nervous all of sudden and went blank.
Examiner: What are you using the test for? Is it for Canada?
Me: Yes
Examiner: What's the required band?
Me: At least a 7
Examiner: I don't usually do this but I don't know why I called you back. I can't give you my number but write your name and phone number here. This is just between us nobody has to know about this.
Me: *writes down my number on paper*
Examiner: I will give you a call later in the day
Me: Thank you sir.

I left the centre angry at myself because
1. I can't believe I got nervous and went blank talking about my husband who is actually one of the most intelligent persons I know.
2. I know its either the examiner ask for money or "something else" so that he can "assist " me get the required band score neither of which I am ready to give.
3. Now i won't know my actual ability in the speaking test because whatever score he gives me I'll believe it's because I turn down his offer.
When I got home I told my husband what happened, he just laughed it off and said let's wait and hear what he will say.
Please note that I was properly dressed nothing revealing, I wore a trouser and shirt, complete with my wedding band and I am glad I actually spoke about my husband.
Please advise me or am I overthinking this issue.

You're totally right....My bad jawreee. Thanks

Tojued:
My darling we have to be very careful about what upsets us. There's no point getting riled up about dem-say information provided on a faceless forum.
The gist is still too scanty.

Besides, this is a new year. We (tojued) are bringing our life policy of circle of concern / influence to how we operate on this thread

Honestly Tojued, can the Parish name & Priest name be shared by the Poster? This is so unfortunate & I feel very sad as I belong to a Catholic Family myself. Wrong information as such needs to be escalated!

Tojued:
We might need to speak with the Bishop of this priest.

I'm not saying it's not possible o, but if something is too good to be true, it's usually not true.

This announcement was made in a Catholic Church. For only 20 slots. By now 5,000 people would have indicated interest. Those who were in church, those whom they informed etc. Nobody will want to miss out.

If a Priest has such info and it's genuine, they usually tell their most 'devout' or favorite parishioners. Because they will also want only the most trustworthy to get the opportunity. People they can guarantee.

Hi, there is actually a thread here for better infos https://www.nairaland.com/144162/national-open-university-nigeria-noun/964#74901234

I think its 2 Semestas though.

efueh:
Please bro, how many semesters do NOUN MSc Info tech has? I’m asking for a colleague, because on their website we saw the courses breakdown and dissertation for only two semesters. I know I’d read here in the past that their MSc is 3 semesters.
Your practical experience will be highly appreciated.

Thanks e-Fam, I have sent screenshots 2 her & link to this thread! The rest is her decision o, I don't wanna be in the know of anything she decides to do contrary to what I know on this thread abeg! Thanks again all....

Happy Sunday all.... So, a friend today called to tell me about "London School of Information Technology Limited" whose institute was sensitizing prospects for Canada that if they enrol & do a course with them for a particular course "Hands-on-software testing" (1Month duration) & secures employment from here in canada, it nullifies your proof of funds as you only do IELTS, Medicals & Evaluation. I am telling my friend that it is either scam or open work permit & not migration o but she no gree believe me as they held a seminar today self @ Allen.... My people, abeg follow chook mouth for this matter oo o as I intend to show her your feedbacks. Abeg, make una respond o.

Awwww, Congratulations to you. So Happy for you & the Family! Thank you for all the work you do here.

smslive2:
The Abridged story is Here!

Amen oo o & thanks

smslive2:

Waoh! Seriously?
You should be glad you "Had" a Lady firm to her words.... Short story, I was in the car with Hubby then "BF" someday hanging out when this driver scratched His car, very little scratch ni sha o & then he came down to rant, we came down together too & immediately I was shouting, ranting & doing all sorts before I realized Hubby wasn't communicating so, I kept quiet. The Guy couldn't talk much self knowing He was wrong & entered His car back to zoom off, immediately we entered the car, Hubby gave me what you call warning of my life NEVER to EVER interfere in any dealings in public when He is present that I should @least give him that respect! Trust me, my head did "reset" & I never tried such ever again not even the day that an hungry P-man stopped us, checked our boot as we hanged out after work so it was late before asking for money stylishly from Hubby, I was mute (even when I was burning within to give him a mouth-full). What am I saying? You might be loosing a diamond unknowingly... What I did that day as "Nwa Afo" Igbo is what is called initial gra gra, I shouldn't have done anything but I did knowing Bf is around should quarrel escalate... I am never a violent person. Mind you, He was Bf then, we were not even engaged. Today we're Married with a Lovely Child! You really need to change your orientation. Trust me, some people change & you can never know people enough in the long run...... I really hope you end-up not marrying a pretender. All the best in your endeavours Guitarlife

Guitarlife:
While I respect your opinion , yet again I am stating that the bolded already addresses that area of your concern.

Have you thought that the man can ask the woman to take the key and drive ? But one person has to lead, even a pack of wolves is not led by 2 it never works.
This clearly shows my position , I wonder why people intentionally choose to twist my position.
The man is the head of the home but from this statement you'd see that the wife is welcome to take initiatives too. This concept is learned over a lifetime for many and at times never learned for some so I won't expect that it'd be so easy for you to comprehend if you haven't already.

I have decided not to comment on this again but you have forced me now, let me explain something. Now A man his wife and 2 kids, an armed robber comes into the house and their is gun that the family can use to defend themselves and a place to hide for 2 people .

Which 3 people do you think will hide ? The wife and the 2 kids
Which person do you think will carry the gun and face the robber ? The man, he will put his life down for his family.

Now we have a situation where some one must carry the pregnancy while someone must wait and pray eagerly for safe delivery , who does what here ? The wife carries the pregnancy (An heroic thing and grossly underrated feat in this part of the world)

Now from my analogies you will see that the man and the woman are not equal but rather unique in their differences. The inability of western countries to acknowledge this uniqueness and accomodate it is responsible for the dysfunctionality of marriages over there.
For all their education and exposure marriages hard last 2 years and this should tell you there is something wrong somewhere, I am not saying the African approach is entirely perfect but the foundation has to be well laid to prevent problems.

Lastly, I will tell you something that should drive this home, this happened with my former babe and this was one of the major pointers for me that made me run. We were both travelling - a public transport, so what happened the car broke down in the middle of the road and the driver needed to give us part of the money we paid so we can board another vehicle to our final destination.

So lets just say we paid 10 naira and the journey had only gone 50% so technically the man was supposed to give us 5 naira right ? Well I told my bae to wait for me in the car, I went to meet the driver and after some back and forth the driver gave me 3 naira, I protested but I didnt get ahead so I came back to her and told her I got 3 naira and altho it was not fair we could just overlook the 2 naira.

My bae became irate went to meet the driver and got into a fit or rage long story short she succesfully retrieved 2 naira and came back to me grinning from ear to ear with a sense of accomplishment visibly written on her face. That moment I knew I had made a mistake being with her.
Why ? (Please note I paid for the journey 100%).

1. The rage and anger displayed was something I had never seen in her, I could never have imagined she was capable of such.
2. The audacity to go and re-negotiate with the driver was not only insensitive to me but showed a lack of respect for my judgement.
3. The reason I choose to allow the driver get away with the 2 naira was because I felt this illiterate drivers sometimes could be violent and dangerous and there was not point risking my life over 2 naira - now her decision to proceed to wrestle for the rest of the money to me showed a lack of proper orientation in value system.

So I had to type this much to put some things in perspective for you, like I said earlier relationship issues are quite tricky and this event I narrated was only the last straw the broke the camels back as I had seen some traces of this kind of behaviour at some time earlier.

Good Morning, just seeing your post! Been away on training @ work & had limited access to my phone/system. Can you assist me? Just PMed you, Gratias.

By God's grace I never had below 7 in writing for the three times I took IELTS. Listening was the only module that gave me issues due to lost of concentration especially in part 3.
I am not aways free but I can help to review writing exercise via whatsapp for only one candidate.

God bless our hustle. Amen

pyha, kindly read about migration via skilled worker class here and see if you'll change your perspective as you don't even need to save up to that amount to migrate.

Hi all!
I am currently residing in Europe and I want to emigrate to Canada, hopefully by fall (September) next year. I want to emigrate as a student and my current option is a year long graduate certificate. I have already completed a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration (Information Technology) and I am now rounding off a Master's degree in Technology innovation and management. I have a few questions and I'll need informed advice or guidance.

Job Prospects
Due to the nature of my previous studies I think I have two options for future career advancement - the IT sector (Software development, Computer/Web application designer, IT business Analyst, etc.) or Business administration (Business Analyst, Project Management, Research Analyst, etc.). I want to know (Based on your experiences (either personal or vicarious)) if you were compelled to advice me, which of these two sectors you think will lead to high-earning good job offers at entry-level position after a one-year graduate certificate program. E.g. Computer Application Developer vs. IT Business Analyst, IT Business Analyst vs. Business Analyst.

Getting a Permanent Residence
I want to settle in Canada after my studies. I want to know what you think is the surest process for student integration.

Which of the provinces allow students to become residents with minimum conditions?
Is a year long graduate certificate with it's accompanying one year post graduate work permit too risky (due to time constraints) to allow me successfully transition into a permanent resident?

Cost of living/quality of life

I am in the process of saving the required amount of funds needed for one year's tuition fees (e.g. 17,000 cad$) and 15,000 cad$ for living expenses for a year. Which cit(ies) can offer affordable cost of living (accommodation, amenities, transportation, etc.) and also easy to get casual or entry level part-time jobs that require little or no qualifications? (I am currently focused on Ontario, for some reasons it has the most colleges that offer the type of education I'm interested in, unless I haven't been searching well enough.)

Well, that's it for now . I hope I haven't asked too much?

Please house, seniors, anyone with relevant advice or guidance related to my questions feel free to share.

Thanks a lot!
