Exactly what it means is that everyone has to go back a restrategize, because a lot of changes will be in effect from this year. In all things we give God the glory, we shall succeed.

It’s really bad here that’s why the government is cracking down on new people Coming it. Lots of people are struggling to survive here now. Newcomers can even afford to buy a home anymore they can’t get mortgages, cost of living has gone up, difficult to get a common minimum wage job not to talk of skilled jobs.

Only 20 percent of the population earns from above 100,000 cad a year. Majority of the people earns below 40,000 cad a year after tax of which out of those majority, huge percentage of Them gets 30,000 cad downwards a year. Do the maths for monthly earnings . Between 2200 to 3800 cad a month after tax! You will think that’s a lot when you are doing exchange conversion back home but here it’s nothing, you can’t survive here with that money. Self contain here in Ontario where I am now goes from 1800 to 2500 cad a month just one room self. You can’t even rent 2 rooms it’s really expensive. Even if you are in other provinces many are going from between 1200 to 1800 cad . Grocery is not there, gas, phone bills and car maintenance. Now tell me what will you do with that money.

Many people who haven’t traveled will not understand life abroad. You can say everything is beautiful bla bla bla road light whatever but you have to pay the price. That’s why people can’t even buy a home .you must have a combine income of approximately $263,300 in gross income to be approved for the average home price of $1,103,600 in Toronto. These houses now going for around 2 million. Now tell me someone earning 30k or 40k even with the spouse income won’t be able to get ordinary mortgage to buy a home that you still have to pay for balance for the next 25 to 30 years if you are even still alive to finish payment and still have a job to escape foreclosure. Even in provinces where houses are cheaper , it’s still difficult to get the money for down payment. Those who own home in nigeria are better off than here in the sense that you don’t have to worry about mortgage in nigeria , and many don’t pay property tax bla bla the only thing is the value of the house. If you don’t work here and have a mortgage you will have high blood pressure everyday coz you can be homeless anytime. This is why anyone earning between 500,000 to 1000000 a month in nigeria and own a home is far better than those here earning minimum wage.

Those who came early are lucky because things weren’t this bad. Now it’s so worse to the extent that malls are canceling self checkouts Walmarts , no frills among others because the people are bypassing goods while scanning their cart items , people will buy 10 goods and scan only 5 because no one is checking them. The crime rate is going up.

If your parent isn’t rich and you can’t survive on your own for atleast a year , it’s better not to come here . Plan before making that move. I know a student doing Uber eat using electric bicycle. Makes just 40 dollars a day. If not for his parents sending him money he would have gone back to India. I wish people know how cold it is. Imagine riding Uber eats on bicycles at night in the cold. He is not his choice to do this , he has been looking for jobs for 3 months in Toronto without success, not even a cleaning Job.

Vikkyexman:
If your school is public college/university, you don't have issue with PGWP eligibility. Those institutions affected are private institutions which are not PGWP eligible but was licensed to offer public Institutions curriculum. It refers to as Public-Private Model Institutions. Example of public colleges/Universities are UBC, UoT, Centennial College, Seneca College, Humber College etc. Example of Private-Public Colleges/Universities are University Canada West, CCTB, Alpha College etc. Just research your school on Google to confirm. Thanks

Hastykate:
Hello house please I need help. Who knows how I can download my submitted application form on ircc portal

Educhopper:
You might be correct.
I was supposed to submit Study Permit application yesterday for my wife who got an admission to study a 1 yr Diploma as. a Disability Support Worker, Saskatchewan Polytechnic for August 2024.
With this new policy on getting a mandatory attestation letter from the province attached else the application would be returned, how long do one wait for this? Cos I already googled and made other enquiries and it seem not to be available yet. Anybody with useful information would greatly be appreciated by me and others to learn from.
Thanks a lot

OralBoy:
[This is the grimmest picture I have ever seen anybody paint of any country abroad let alone Canada. I know things are bad but are they that bad? Is it possible that maybe your location (Toronto) is faring worse than other places?

I am going to London and my friend who moved there last month got a job at a coffee shop the following week. It's a fair start for someone who is a student and has little Canadian experience. I don't know about life after graduation, that's an entirely different kettle of fish but I do know that Nigeria in its current state is not an option for me. I would sooner move to Botswana than remain here.

You know what they say about someone who has nothing to lose?

Victorious1000:
pls my spouse just got admitted to Centennial college and we plan traveling together, what's your advice regarding visa application should we do it together or separately? Thanks

Predator188:
What 00e1 said about shoplifting or shop theft is absolutely correct I went the other day to buy baby formula/milk that cost 71.97 dollars in one superstore in Brandon Manitoba canada..I could not find it on shelve I asked a lady that works in the shop..why is the formula not available...she said some people are getting away with the formula without paying..that I should go to the customer service..I went to the customers service and saw the formula where they kept it so that they can keep an eye on it...

Vikkyexman:
The new rule will apply to your application, no work permit for you if your spouse is going for undergraduate program, diploma or certificate program except if your spouse is a master or PhD student. Currently, as said by Mac Miller, processing of study permit will be paused till March 31st to enable provinces to build a process for issuance of attestation letter. Note that this letter must be included in study permit application. So, no study permit application for now till march 31st

PtBlank:
Just got my PPR. I'll share some backstory later today. Good luck to everyone.

AtoningBlood:
I sent an email to my school to clarify my position for more clarification regarding the updates about PGWP and SOWP. I was admitted for a PGD in May, 2024.

Windblown2much:
No b by force to kuku japa abroad, if it works out, fine! If it does not, gotta sit my ass back in my country and survive as God so destined.

People still make it in Nigeria on daily basis👌

Most of you only believe in your pastor that’s why people who live here don’t come to share their experiences. I am way better in Nigeria than here I have lived here for 3 years and just waiting for few things and moved back home or move to the US and come here once a while. You won’t understand. Yeah everyone situation isn’t the same , you can say nigeria is not safe but people get killed here too, students get shot to death, people die everyday. If you have something serious going for you in Nigeria or you think earning 3000 dollars a month after tax here is better and after expenses you are left with just about 400 dollars, then make your choice. I work as a service technician in a tech company earning 24 cad per hour . I studied here, working full time now, monthly earnings supposed to be 3840 cad , after tax and some deductions like Ei , employment insurance incase of job loss, CPP , and other deductions, I am left with a little above 3100 cad. After expenses only about 400 dollars left . Car insurance here a month goes from between 150 to 300 dollars or even more. Rent $2400 add other bills.


I own houses back home with tenants before I came here , here if I fail to go to work a day I and my family will be kicked out of the apartment. The struggle we go through here isn’t worth it for us. We are not struggling before coming here. It all depends on your situation before leaving Nigeria. I have a thriving business in Nigeria, I thought I would be able to make a lot more money which was why I and my family made the move but was disappointed and sharing this with you is for you to either learn before making your own decisions but most Nigerians will never learn. We haven’t recovered a dime we spent coming here due to huge bills and was already thinking of moving to the US once we get what we are waiting for. It cost is roughly 55 million moving my family here and that was a great mistake we made and only hoping for the best now.

What you earn is lower

ikgodisgood82:
Bro I did 20k GIC last year. I faced the same challenge.
CBN prohibited any fx cash deposit more than 10k$ transfer out of Nigeria.
For you to do fx above 10k to your GIC, you'll need dollar cash deposit of 10k secondly go to aboki tell them you need fx (INFLOW) note inflow is fx that came out of the sures of Nigeria.
With cash deposit of 10k USD then your aboki will source the remaining balance for you as inflow.
Together you can make the GIC deposit.
INFLOWS can be a bit difficult to get and a bit expensive but you can get it, remember GIC does not accept multiple deposit only single

bobodudu100:
Hey Guys . I was looking to apply for PhD and also apply for PR so that once the PR is out hopefully one won’t have to pay high international fees. Please what are your thoughts on this . Thanks

bidemi1190:
Please what is your view about addiction and mental health or autism and behavioural analysis PG cert?

Vikkyexman:
PR? Have you submitted your profile to express entry pool? Have you received ITA? If yes, then you can apply for your PR and apply for your PhD when you get to Canada. If no, it's not possible to apply for PR. You can only submit your profile to express entry pool and wait till you receive ITA (invitation to apply)

It’s really bad here that’s why the government is cracking down on new people Coming it. Lots of people are struggling to survive here now. Newcomers can even afford to buy a home anymore they can’t get mortgages, cost of living has gone up, difficult to get a common minimum wage job not to talk of skilled jobs.

Majority of the people earns below 40,000 cad a year after tax of which out of those majority, huge percentage of Them gets 30,000 cad downwards a year. Do the maths for monthly earnings . Between 2200 to 3800 cad a month after tax! You will think that’s a lot when you are doing exchange conversion back home but here it’s nothing, you can’t survive here with that money. Self contain here in Ontario where I am now goes from 1800 to 2500 cad a month just one room self. You can’t even rent 2 rooms it’s really expensive. Even if you are in other provinces many are going from between 1200 to 1800 cad . Grocery is not there, gas, phone bills and car maintenance. Now tell me what will you do with that money.

Many people who haven’t traveled will not understand life abroad. You can say everything is beautiful bla bla bla road light whatever but you have to pay the price. That’s why people can’t even buy a home .you must have a combine income of approximately $263,300 in gross income to be approved for the average home price of $1,103,600 in Toronto. These houses now going for around 2 million. Now tell me someone earning 30k or 40k even with the spouse income won’t be able to get ordinary mortgage to buy a home that you still have to pay for balance for the next 25 to 30 years if you are even still alive to finish payment and still have a job to escape foreclosure.

If you don’t work here and have a mortgage you will have high blood pressure everyday coz you can be homeless anytime. This is why anyone earning between 500,000 to 1000000 a month in nigeria and own a home is far better than those here earning minimum wage.

Those who came early are lucky because things weren’t this bad. Now it’s so worse to the extent that malls are canceling self checkouts Walmarts , no frills among others because the people are bypassing goods while scanning their cart items , people will buy 10 goods and scan only 5 because no one is checking them. The crime rate is going up.

If your parent isn’t rich and you can’t survive on your own for atleast a year , it’s better not to come here . Plan before making that move. I know a student doing Uber eat using electric bicycle. Makes just 40 dollars a day. If not for his parents sending him money he would have gone back to India. I wish people know how cold it is. Imagine riding Uber eats on bicycles at night in the cold. He is not his choice to do this , he has been looking for jobs for 3 months in Toronto without success, not even a cleaning Job.

How do I pay my school fees from Nigeria? I heard form A not working and even if it’s works, extremely slow I heard. What options do I have ?
