Toh, when you come, you will see for yourself. I have visited 3 European countries since I came to Austria, and I have barely stayed for up to 5months. Secondly, it is very possible that your friend may have graduated, and have gotten a job in the IT sector. In my university, there is a Yoruba man who is a lecturer, and he teaches a science-based course. I have also met an Igbo man who is a Doctor at a Hospital in Vienna. However, the guy is very fluent in German. He almost speaks it like a native. I also know that some full-time IT jobs don't require someone to know how to speak German. However, I can assure you that it is almost impossible for a student coming from a third-world country like Nigeria to get a student job in the IT sector. Your friend too might be giving you bobo just so that you don't look at him with one kind eye.

If you want life to be easy for you, learn the German language. If you can learn it to B1 level, Super! Otherwise, try and learn it to A2 level, and come with enough funds to last you for up to 4 months. E get why I talk am. If you don't have money, don't expect to land in Austria and get a job immediately, except if you're lucky to get a black job. These people and nobody cares about you here. Don't expect life to be rosy for you in your first 3months.

Nancyuche:
Haven’t gotten date yet tho
Just starting the process

Why should my friend be giving me bobo about it? He has never said Austria is an heaven on Earth country. He's still a student. This month makes him one year there. Thank God you know Austria Masters takes two years. This is his third job. He's in Salzburg. He was coming from a Customer Support role in the same Austria you said it is almost impossible for a student to get a role. Why didn't you talk about the area wherw i said Austria paid two month Salary in June and November,which makes it 14 times in a calendar year. Do you even know they pay children some form of money once the documentation is fine. Are you telling me you are not working too ? As very low as travelling to some European countries could be, you must have expended some costs. Was it the same money you brought from Nigeria you are still using?

Tell me the country in Eroupe you can have masters almost as free as Austria. It is common sense for one to prepare for the worse when migrating to a new country as you have said though, but you guys should tell people the good side of the country, not discouraging people. I have just read where someone that has gotten date for legalisation is now weak to go ahead.

I repeat my friend is still a student and his wife has joined him. Don't forget Austria is not UK or USA or Canada, but could be a step towards greatness.

This write up is for every Nigerian who is planning to JAPA to Europe especially to Austria and other none english speaking countries.
I am making this right up from Austria and out of personal experience not hear say. I am also not making this write up to discourage anybody, instill fear or out of hate for Austrians but out of my deep analysis of the Austrian and European (none english speaking) society and to caution my fellow nigerians before to they get into serious regrettable situation in the quest to relocate.
I spent a fortune coming to Austria with my family some few years back but as of today I totally regret and curse the day, I made that decision.
First I came here as a masters student, with the hopes of studying to land a better job afterwards. I also came with alot of professional work experience from Nigeria. As of today, I have made over two hundred applications for jobs, all have ended up in rejections. 40% of the rejections was received within few hours of my application.
That aside, I will advice Nigerians before you JAPA it is good one considers the following which are some of the mistake I made;
1. What is official language of the country you are migrating to? If it is not English language, please do not ever waste your time and money going there.
2. How many Nigerians and other black people live in that country?
Few blacks live here because blacks are not accepted by Austrians systematically. Most blacks here are very unhappy and are always considering going to another country. Also the suffering here is way too much. Pathways to getting a permanent residence is not open for black people either as an Assylum seeker or a graduate student.
3. What type of jobs do they do? Most Nigerians are suffering with menial unsteady work abroad but they will never tell you. In Austria for instance the number of Black people on Professional jobs is less than 1 percent. Some of those jobs were even obtained after donkey years of hard labour. If you think your case will be different, sorry is your name. Most Nigerians in Austrians only distribute Newspapers in the middle of every night. This is only jobs available for black people including graduates. You will still see 50-60 years old men in the middle of the night still moving from house to house throwing papers. If you call it hustle, I call it humiliation. Why cant blacks access better jobs? The answer is racism and hate. The professional white collar job circle is bureacractically closed against black people from third world countries.
If there is any job available, their law has it that an Austrian is first considered, second are citizens from other European countries and prolly North Americans, third are asians and then subsequently are animals before any black man. This explains why you see black graduates who are jobless, either selling newspaper in the middle of every night, or washing plates in restaurants (the lucky once).
I will advice, if you earn 200k in Nigeria, no matter the hardship, omo stay home and do business. Yes, I hear of kidnapping, rising cost of living but Nigeria is still better than being a slave in Austria. I am also fighting to get a job in Nigeria, of which if i get any, I will appear in Nigeria with any available flight.
4. What is the acceptability of black people into their society? Austria have always been ranked as the most unfriendly people/country in Europe and infact among all the western countries. Austrians hate their own fellow Europeans. Within few weeks of my arrival I made friends with Germans and Italians. They complained bitterly of rascism and hate even when they speak Deutsch and also adviced few us blacks to be prepared for these experiences or leave the country. I thought my case will be different, but as the days unfold and I faced the worsed bitter truth.
If Austrians can express hate to their fellow oyibo, bros as a black no matter your qualification, you are less than animal in the eyes of an Austrian.
5. Check the number of Nigerian graduates in that country and how they fared after graduation. Do not be deceived by their offer of Cheap education. Those cheap education is not designed for black people rather for themselves. Now note this, they simply made that system so you can study there and go home. For an employer to hire you as a black, the law states that you must be offered 3600 Euros per month Salary. This is a country were the average salary per month is 1200- 2000 Euros. Which employer will offer a black man 3600 Euros? Again they demand fluency in speak B1-B2 Deustch. Deutsch is one of the most difficult Language to learn in the world. Again Learning the language does not guarantee you a job in Austria as a black. The rule of considering Austrians, Other Europeans, North Americans, Asians, Animals before a black will still haunt you.
6. How many black people own businesses or are in positions of Authourities?
One of the ridiculous and shocking things I discovered here is that most black people here are not Business owners and even as employees, they are always in the lowest cadre in every organization. This is bad a sign for any potential Nigerian planning to come here, because you will eventually end up where your mates are. You will see Nigerians who have spent over 15 years here still doing menial jobs. So when you hear them say,'I will help you' omo all na wash. They no get any levels. No Nigerian is a boss in any establishment. I also noticed that sharp nigerian graduates, disappear once after graduation to english speaking countries. Austria is littered with black people with Asylum seeking status. 80 percent of the blacks you meet here are on assylum or migrated through it. Those people follow spoil our names for Austria. So in the eyes of Austrians, both Students and other black assylum are all same. We are all treated like piece of shit.
Here doing business is quite expensive and virtually impossible for blacks. The best you can see are Nigerians collecting used tyres for export and maybe one or two who own African shops (barely 0.001 percent of all the blacks in the country).
Back to my job haunting experience, I have to be honest with you folks, I made a very beautiful result and grades yet I have not secured an interview in 1 year and 7 months. I have inquired from Employers, Employees, Government offices AMS, Austrians why all these rejection. The Answer i get is that, ' you are from Africa and we do not know who you are'. I am not surprised, Hitler Adolf was an Austrian.....Now you should know who Austrians are. Those documents that you pay hundreds or thousand to legalize mean nothing here except to tell your school that they are not forged.
So fellow NIgerians, before you visit that Embassy in Nos 9 Ufuma Street Maitama, have a rethink. Austria is not worth spending a dime migrating to. I fully understand the terrible situation at home, but I would not encourage anyone to experience the constant depression, systematic rejection, racism and hate I face here. I am still spending my savings from Nigeria and the situation is not getting better. As I earlier stated, my greatest joy will come once I land a job at home and go back to my Nigeria. Most Nigerians here are also fond of not telling the truth, they will never tell u the real situation of things till you arrive here. Also do not judge by currency rates (1Euro = 1500 naira blablabla). I also stated that the average salary in Austria is in the range of 1000- 2000 Euros. Euros used to be 250# and someone on 400k naira salary or makes such in business is way more better than an Austrian. Remember rent is paid monthly, including various insurance. A 10 percent better Nigeria is better than Austria.
Life is not all about money. If the energy you spend doing menial work in Nigeria is spent hustling legitmately in Nigeria, omo you will make it in Life and still keep your diginity. My simple message is ' Do not migrate to Austria and other none english speaking countries'. You will have yourself to blame.

Hello Everyone, please I have been trying to get a date for Legalization but the portal doesn’t seem to be open,please how do I go about it? I’ve been on this for months and it’s almost seems like a dead end

CatchMeIfUCanMO:
Can I dm you?

janda1:
Everyone wish is just to migrate to other countries like usa and Canada, Australia but it's not everyone that has the fund to those places, the migration law is now getting tighten day by day

Austria is just for study not to stay there after studies

After studies some one can migrate to USA and Canada

I still prefer to do table job in Austria than doing 50k job in Nigeria

It depends on your goal, if I have money to stay in Nigeria to run e-commerce, I will stay any time but there is no money to run it and I will still prefer going to austria where I can exchange the money and continue my e-commerce business

If I can earn 500 euro as saving to run my e-commerce store in Nigeria, I'm okay with better than 50k job in Nigeria

Bag of rice is now 77k, bag of spaghetti is now #20k

It depends on your skills because you can't do 9-5 jobs through out your life

You have to have a business... To run business in Nigeria is hard

50k can't run a business in Nigeria


Lack of capital is what is doing me, china importation is now very expensive due to dollar

If I'm in Austria it possible for me run it successful with table hand job

Nancyuche:
Exactly what me I said
I can’t stay in Austria for long
I have my goals and definitely not to stay all my life in Austria

CatchMeIfUCanMO:
Oh, I have gotten a date and my appointment is getting closer but my japa morale is getting low.

Oluwalofikemi11:
Please I need answer to my question
The English proficiency letter, are we to collect it from our university or from ministry of education.


The man that is always quoting my questions with long paragraph of why Nigerians should not travel should avoid my messages please. Let people see my message and reply me .

beevalley:
MOE can give you for a fee, I believe
Your school can also give you.

Whichever is easier for you to get.

Don't mind him, he thinks we don't know what we are doing. I like the way we all know what we want and how we are preparing for it.

I got date at the early hours of this morning. I already told people here not to stress themselves. Just be strategic with it. There is no point paying anyone, it doesn't make any economic sense and it is evil and corruption we all are yelling about at our leaders. Be on the website around 11:50pm every night, and be going back and front on the same page, i'm 100% sure dates will show up. I told us how i got a date last week, but was trying to fill for three persons at the same time plus i didnt write out the details somehere, this consequently led to how my time was appointed to a faster applicant. So i didn't let that happen last night, i was over prepared, and thanks to my phone that already saved all information, as soon as it i moved into the boxes to fill them up, my phone already brought me the numbers and name i needed. I didn't even later use what i wrote down again, alas, i was assigned a date.

I had to explain it here for others to see so no one will pay anyone but do it themselves. Dates will pop out between 11:59-12:00am , so don't dull.

I wish all us all.

Also, let's try to learn an IT skill at least before going to Austria, so we can put these discouragement to rest.

I will share my testimony on this thread when things start falling in place for me...

Shalom...

Nancyuche:

Don't overpressure yourself. Just be deligent with it. The Embassy stylishly release dates. They did on Sunday night around 12am. They did again this morning around 12am. The only mistake i made this morning own was that i was trying to book for myself, wife and daughter, and someone was faster than me. Hence, it was unfortunately assigned to another faster applicant.

Most of the guys preaching they can get you dates are on other thread on this same Nairaland preaching about other countries. Don't waste your hard earned resources to what you can deligently get without paying a dime! They even released June date this morning. So more cancelled dates and newer ones in july will still be made available. Just be deligent with it. When i get mine, i will share it here..
