You think they do anything for your own benefit?

UK will use you and after 30years, all you can claim to your name is that you have pension to pay rent.

Once they detect that immigrants are taking up juicy jobs they have envisioned for Citizens only, they come up with another policy.

Very smart people who know how to use others to make their country work.

Till today, I cannot count 5 Nigerians who made it big in UK outside of sports. Even the Nigerians in UK entertainment had to go to the USA to make it big.

All are just surviving.

Same cannot be said about the USA and the opportunities that abound for legal migrants.

Nigerian professionals change jobs in the US as fast as a dirty area boy changes his boxers. But for UK, Segun and Emeka still work in the same company that managed to employ them 10years ago without anything tangible to show for it.

Lose that UK job, and you will know that there are no other jobs to get in the UK.


UK?

Yuck!
where are the people in UK seeing money to remit back to Nigeria

Even those students who change to care visas, they are saying their dependents ( spouse and kids) should go back to their countries because the new care visa does not cover their dependents . Not just the new arrivals. They want to start deporting people who legally entered last year as dependents. Those are the 120,000 he is talking about. If the dependents want to stay, they should also go and look for sponsorship.
WTF......to that man saying UK has shortage of healthcare workers, see the scope they are using here. Well planned by them

IMAliyu:
That is possible, I guess we'll see how things pan out.
and i just read someone's comment where he says, even students that are finishing and transitioning to Care visa, they are telling their dependants to go back home, the only way out if for the dependant to go look for his or her own care visa or other job sponsorship visa(which i understand are scarce), shey u see say dem dun calculate as shortage of healthcare workers no go dey.

YoshihideSuga:
You're right o. They aren't just targeting the ones in the system (care workers), but those who moved with their families on student visas. Then, in return, they increased the minimum salary required to employ foreign students, but didn't apply the same rule to care workers. Now, they've banned care workers from having their families with them. In essence, they have trapped people inside and the only way out is to leave the country.

Oyibo oooo shocked shocked shocked
they want those ones to go and look for their own care jobs so there wont be shortage. Its all well planned. So that dependant working in IT on his wife's care visa, will have to go look for his own care job that will sponsor him

loooool...that's the downsize of having a population of youth that are ambitious, energetic, hardworking, smart and brilliant. They will compete for anything and everything, and soon the thing will cast
Well... that may be the case, that 300 was just a batch, there were more in 6 months. 1500 visas were issued to just Naigeerians to come in for healthcare work, now, imagine the 1500 Naigeerian workers brings in 3 or more of their family members each.

If you want to go do *housemaid or nanny* for Nigeria, shey u go carry family go??
They just used oyinbo give *Omo Odo* fine name by calling it Caregiver. Any job wey I no fit do for Nigeria, I no go commot here go do am.
For those out there and they sold off their properties to go, pls, just start investing in assets back home now that the currency you earn is very strong against the naira, any policy can affect your income tomorrow.
At the bolded, how can they save when the salaries are majorly low and bills high, saving is nearly impossible.

If you calculate the effort to make one pound sterling. you will understand it is blood and sweat.

And sadly the price of those properties in Nigeria has gone up and not within reach.

No.

It doesn't affect people that are already in the system.

Those that are already in the system can still bring in their dependants.

Calitoscassius:
What? Really? Errr.. i don't think so, for real? Are you serious?! They are deporting the families of those who are already in the UK? After letting them come in the first place? So that means only the worker stays? Where did you get this infor. From? I am curious.
Check migrant D and F scenarios. You will see in D that dependents of students cant switch if application is made after march 10, also in F if the dependent become main applicant and applies after march 10,d student can’t switch with the dependent. Same scenario but vice versa. What they want now is dependent must have his or her own cos. But everything is silent of child dependents. As time goes on, it will ne clearer.

Misinformation.

Only care workers are affected, as much as I can see from that story.

Doctors and nurses are not affected.

GOV.UK is your friend.

Yes correct. Only carers and support workers on code 6145 and 6146 are affected. This is because it is d main job people do to get COS without any special qualifications (just show u can care for people). It is d easiest route for masters graduates to get COS before they settle on the profession of their choice ( after completing the COS period).

Once you are stuck for 5 years on a job, it has become your career.

You wont have time to pursue any other things.

Care work is intense, draining and frustrating with 12-hour shift.

Changing career will be almost mission impossible after 5 years

People do very well. Getting certifications from their desired skills and doing online courses. Once they get ILR, they move to the sector. Even if to start again. They can still do care by the side though. Since they are no more tied to any COS. but i know someone who loves d care job. As in that is what she wants to do. She even wants to open a care home when she comes back to nigeria to settle. Her passion is taking care of the old before they pass on and ensuring they are happy in their last days.

NO, a family person does not have to abandon his/her family, they are not forcing a family person to migrate to the UK. We need to understand that these guys have to protect their citizens, no matter how useless and lazy those citizens are. Those are the people they swore and are empowered to protect first.
[color=#006600][/color]

I get it. It's their country, their rule. Though, I do see a lot of single ladies partying every weekend in UK getting drunk.
On a lighter note, maybe they only want migrants who are young and single in their country.

COMPAQ:
Care workers are often not health workers like doctors and nurses o
[color=#006600][/color]

Yea I know, they still had to study to become health workers either through a short course or a full degree.
They should employ their youths to do care giving jobs
That job is not easy and it's not everyone that has the mind to do it.

On paper, people can change jobs after ILR, in reality it is tough.

How can someone working 12-hour shift be able to prepare for another career. Someone that has immersed himself in care job for 5 years, its not as easy as you think .

Moreso, getting ILR is not automatic having spent 5 years in the UK. Some people have applied for a visitors visa with different information from what they use to get COS. Uk didn't do due diligence then but trust me, when it comes to ILR, they will seriously vet the application.
