hustla: But why should it baffle you? What if he realized that cybersecurity is not his passion? Or he genuinely wants to use care work visa as a stepping stone. I know someone who started with care work and transitioned into occupational therapy working for the NHS now and doesn't do bedside care anymore. Infact she got the OP role in the NHS just one year into her tier 2. And for many, survival first especially when you have a spouse and children. Being a parent means you make sacrifices for the good of all. He won't be doing it forever. He can change career 100 times if he wants. 4 Likes |

sometimes i feel we just want to argue beer parlour gists with emotions.. How can one deny or find it hard to believe the truth that Canada is harder to get in than UK? how The requirements are so high to get PR into Canada that people with Masters etc do French certification courses just to get high scores (especially if age doesn't favour them). Can we stop being emotional and work with data? You also can't blame just the government alone.. you also have to blame students lying about their proof of funds, marriages, and those selling COS and scamming their fellow Nigerians... You can also watch Border Force UK show and see how Nigerians are embarrassing themselves at both UK and Nigeria... so many episodes that will make you ashamed.. the truth is very bitter but we must swallow it to move on People can be so evil.. I have had phone calls of strangers (Nigerians) asking if they can stay at mine just because their proof of funds never existed.. of course i didn't agree.. because i have to prioritise my family first please lets argue with data and not emotions.. it is tiring and misleading.. I have family members and friends in Canada and so this isn't even rumors.. u cant compare migrating to Uk with migrating to Canada.. abeg lets be logical https://businessday.ng/news/article/number-of-nigerians-moving-to-canada-drops-20-in-nine-months/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/555132/top-10-origin-countries-of-international-students-at-years-end-canada/ I also attached Nigerians with Canada PR per year Compare that with the nos that come into the UK.. This was how Nigerians said Dubai will lose out in major revenue and will be hit when they blocked us ... meanwhile Nigeria wasn't anywhere near the top countries visiting Dubai We seem to just live on emotions and arguments. .. no data.. thats why Nigerian FG will modify the unemployment rate to 5%... everything being emotional.. instead of us to look at the problem for what it is.. 3 Likes

justwise: E get age wey you go dey (the average age of the recent Nigerian cohort wey enter as student for instance) and a 5 year career as a care support worker will effectively become a quasi-permanent one. This does not mean that I have any opinion regarding what choices people make in their individual visa/permanent residence journeys and lives. Early in my time in this country I don do support work for hospital, then waka go join post office, before person come get job in my field. Some people get choice in terms of finance for visa fees and opportunities, some don't. |

justwise: After about 6 years of full time care, he will port to a new career in cyber? 😹😹 As what? Assuming he’s around 30, at close to 40 he’ll start looking for entry-level cyber analyst Abi? In 2029 when the cyber landscape will be completely different and he’ll probably be weighed down with a lot more familial responsibilities? You people so love to titillate yourselves with these fantasies sha. The fact of the matter is that if people actually came to the country with their fees and POF sorted as they declared, they would comfortably be able to get PSW and then use that time to get jobs without bothering about sponsorship in the first instance, and then get a sponsorship role of the back of that experience before the PSW expires. That’s because there are a ton of professional jobs vacant but sponsorship is the issue, which many employers are reluctant about whether rightly or wrongly. Many of my friends have even been sponsored by the same place where they work after just a few months of working on PSW because the organisation now has the confidence to do so, and many others simply go to other organizations that sponsor after a year or so. In 90% of cases where people default to care it’s because the foundation of their immigration was faulty (fraudulent?) ab initio, thereby robbing them of the flexibility to take advantage of the very clear paths to career progression, and then they get stuck doing things they hate for the rest of their lives. But no, keep blaming the government and tories and companies and everybody but those who chose to cut corners and are bearing the consequences. — Edit: for the avoidance of doubt I have nothing against care work. I just believe it should be done as a way to pad your finances while studying so you have a reserve for PSW and while searching for a job afterwards, or if you are a professional health care worker or have a passion for it. To pay 15k to do cybersecurity or some other hotcake masters (especially STEM!) and then discard that to go and do care full time for 5 years though? Haba mana. Let’s break out of this default-to-care mould biko, while other immigrant communities are aspiring higher and building careers and businesses. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Goodenoch: How many companies outside the healthcare sector are sponsoring skilled workers? Some of us are not realistic enough, from the current stats it clearly shows not many companies outside the healthcare sector sponsor skilled workers and that’s the only major pathway in this country. And from my current observation the number of companies outside the health sector that are sponsoring keeps reducing. Let’s not give people false hopes by urging them to continue to hope on what is never available. My advise simple to anyone not interested in care is to start to explore other countries and don’t get caught in the cross fire of uk immigration which is the perspective Justwise is coming from but many here are clearly misunderstanding him. I should keep applying when my visa is expiring soon and I have a family? Common This has nothing to with the foundation of POF, it has more to do with the opportunities available and not everyone I repeat not everyone will have the privilege of working in the nhs which does not even sponsor for many roles. It’s what it is. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Goke7: Not true, as a matter of fact, lots of companies sponsor that arent in the healthcare sector sponsor. In actual fact, i have seen ice cream shops with sponsorship while browsing through As of 11th November, 2023, the figure for London was about 26,000. Means 2,000+ companies signed up to sponsor folks (i will check the exact figures to confirm) See, the thing about life is, you only see what you want to see 2 Likes

ehizario2012: What is CFA? I assume it means Chartered Finance Analyst? It's not possible to get chartered in the UK by just taking courses and writing exams. You have to demonstrate certain competencies by submitting case studies of how you've demonstrated those competencies in your current role, which is usually gain from active employment and working in the relevant field. I cannot say for a certain if this also applies to finance, but this applies to almost all professions I've come across in my current role. It takes people who are employed full-time 3-5years on average to be able to meet all the required competencies to get chartered. So the idea that someone who works in care without any recent experience in finance will be able to get chartered just be taking a course and writing an exam is hilarious. 1 Like |

hustla: Are we going from health care to ice cream shop now, let me know o That companies sign up to get license does not mean they will sponsor. Make Una no give people bp on top this sponsorship matter o Hope you also realise that by the time they increase the salary requirement for skilled workers that again will reduce the ability of more companies to sponsor.

Goke7: I am just telling you its more commonplace than you think, stop trying to shift the goal post. If you are talking about companies with sponsorship that may not want to, NHS trusts also do it and some want to sponsor certain roles only. Monzo and Starling do the exact same thing The salary requirement has not been implemented yet so ... 1 Like |
