McGill? Nice. I plan applying for my PhD soon. Any advice? Did you get a supervisor before applying? Also what did you score in your GRE?

Yes I got a Supervisor before applying, and barring a couple of programs, McGill do not require the GRE. So i didn't write it.

@frankrobben can I please pm you, I know we're not best of friends that's why I'm asking for permission �
Thanks In advance!

Typically using a microfinance bank shouldn't be an issue in as much as details of the account holder can be verified if need be......is the microfinance bank big enough to host a website where VO can browse to get contact details to verify authenciticity of infos?

Congrats
But if you had described Nigeria as a shithole in your application, you would have been singing GCMS notes and RE-APPLICATION by now.
HOME IS HOME

Lolz, funny u
@uyplus, hop u will come back sha

My brothers, sorry I hurt people's feelings with my shithole rhetoric. But in the real sense, is this country moving forward? If Nigeria is so good, why aren't we queuing to pursue degrees in UNN, UNICAL, UNILAG et al? Why are consultant doctors and health professionals of allied sciences leaving in their droves? We're still having the same old sets of cargoes want to rule us again. We are deeply divided on ethnoreligious lines. We scream that Nigeria is home, but is Nigeria truly home? Can an Ibo man fearlessly build a house in Kano without worrying about ethnoreligious fights? Yes, it's true you'll miss the culture, but there's simply more to life than just the people!
The other day in Abuja, a Lebanese man slapped a Nigerian man, and called the cops on him and the Nigerian was malhandled by the cops on the order of the Lebanese! Is that normal? A Lebanese man beat up a pregnant staff and she got a miscarriage, guess what, the police still detained the woman on the orders of a foreign national!
A sibling who had a first class in Engineering, and distinction in two masters degree all from overseas came home and looked for job but couldn't find any until God opened the way for him and he relocated. He was simply rejected at home, and you expect him to be proud of his roots tomorrow? On many occasions, 3rd class graduates who had connections were chosen over him, and we expect this country to work?
Look at our current president, is he intelligent enough to pilot the affairs of this country? 2019, people will queue up for 1k. Some people are earning 18k as salary! Is this a country? Nepotism, tribalism are all forms of racism!

lol we all know this ..I know what I went through psychologically before I got my trv and mine was even a month and two days ...and I can't even imagine what dose who have been waiting for months ....but what can we do ...the fact is that were we are travelling to is never ours and it will never be ....we claim we are leaving the country well if you have loved once back here then we can never be free because we are still connected back here ...just saying

Congratulations,
But my people say no matter how white another man’s teeth are, and how black yours are, your tongue can only lick your teeth. In as much as you’ve pointed out the issues with the country, we can never truly erase wonderful memories from childhood till date of experiences and things that have motivated who we are. Cheers to your newly found home. See you in Canada soon.
For the rest of us waiting, this month shall not pass us by. It will end in Praise.

People I plan on going to do my biometrics tomorrow but I dont have my passport because it is with the British Embassy. Please can I go with a scanned copy or a softcopy of my Intl Passport. Or maybe can i go with a coloured print-out of the data page of my passport. Please someone should kindly rescue me.

While I admit with your submission that Nigeria is a shithole country, I will advice you to not for once think that Canada is an eldorado. I have lived in the United States, and have visited many European countries, i can say that most Nigerians with the kind of mentality that you have end up being not only disappointed in their expectations but utter failures.

The grass looks greener on the other side but truly, I have found myself weeping for my Country on several occasions. Sometimes, I break down and cry while taking a shower. We are so blessed, great weather, natural and human resources, etc yet ... Our leaders seem to know all the solutions until they get there... The followers don't seem to know what they want. Recently, I refused to yield for another driver who wanted to drive against traffic on a one way lane. The security man in charge told me to give way but I refused and lectured him that he should stand up for what is right. A taxi driver waiting in his vehicle later accosted me and suggested I was being stubborn. I found myself telling a taxi driver that we should stand up for what is right so we can leave a better Country for our children having quoted a line from Bobby Kennedy who said his late brother "...Saw wrong and tried to right it". He laughed at my ignorance and fell to the floor before saying "Nigeria, good? Not in our lifetime". I had to ask my wife if I was being optimistically foolish.
Unfortunately, too many times I find myself asking... "Where are the role models?". It's often lonlely trying to stay on the right side here but, we'll keep trying.

Lastly, I have read many migrant stories on Quora. Some really scary. The most recent being the story of an Indian Migrant with years of IT experience who relocated from the US and eventually started considering suicide. He wanted to find a way to jump in front of a TTC (Toronto Transport Company bus).. his only problem was that he wanted the IRCC people to pay rather than one struggling TTC bus driver who he referred to as one of the kindest group of people in Toronto because they understand if your TP fare isn't complete! Anyway, his story ended well as he got a job after several odd jobs just as he was about to commit suicide.

May it be well with us wherever we find ourselves and may we find the strength to overcome challenges come what may.

Besides, we're like finest steel having been through the test of fire. To graduate sef... I endured years of strike!

I see where you are coming from and I understand your pain. We are all knowledgeable enough to see all the injustice and underdevelopment in Nigeria. However, I was once naive and parochial like you but over time I begin to look at life from another angle.

The Canada we are all striving to go to also have their fair share of issues, have you try to research about the Indigenous people that are referred to as First Nations, Inuit and Métis people? go and learn about the grandiose injustices they are experiencing. How about Africa migrants in Canada?. You need to know that there is no where on earth without their challenges.

You sound like some people from a part of Nigeria with a high sense of entitlement but is that actually the way forward? God did not play dice with my life by locating me in Nigeria and I want to make a difference to the people around me. The high quality education I hope to get in Canada is not only to enrich myself and my family but to also use it here in Nigeria and contribute my little token to this country.

No matter how all this mess continue in Nigeria, i bet you it will definitely come to an end and the end is very nigh. It took a Mary Slessor to stop killing of twins and a Dora Akunyili to fight fake drugs to a stand still. The era of ignorant, selfish and wicked leaders will come to an end very soon and the table will turn and enlighten people like us will take over the mantle of leadership only if we don't sound the way you just did.

Utter failure? I see! Stay tuned man! Just as our faces are different so are our destinies! The same USA you claim you have lived, there are people who came in and stayed for a shorter time than you but can buy off your net worth without battering an eyelid! Visitor patriot! Ajala travel the world. You agree with my comment about Nigerian being a shithole, but go on to fault my logic, you are confused man! If you wanna be patriotic, be it and don't waiver with all these sad failure stories and negative vibes, ok! I have highly successful friends doing legit businesses in Canada just as there are many highly successful people doing business here too!

It doesn't matter if we call our Country a shithole, the truth is, it is really one . Messed up and not going anywhere . And from what I understand clearly, you can make anywhere your home ... It is a matter of choice ..

Good luck to you jawe my brother .. The new land shall favor you .

Have you deleted your questions? Noticed you deleted some posts. Too much tension lately as this is transition period. Some are moving on to classes while others are in limbo.

Frankrobbn1:

yemupz,

I have been so busy lately. Hence, my late reply. No online application is processed at Accra. I believe you got a biometrics letter from them, which made you think so. Hopefully when you secure your TRV, your visa counterfoil will be issued by London or Lagos or probably when your application exceeds the normal processing times and you send a CSE to Accra. They will redirect you to send a mail to London, as they aren't the one processing your visa. Then, you will understand!

The info concerning where paper route applications are handled were gotten in and out side of this window. Throughout last year and at the beginning of this year, majority of the paper applications were all treated by Accra(both online and paper route), which was lately transferred to Nairobi as at February/March this year for paper route.

Bros,
Thank you for the clarification. Yes, my biometrics letter came from the Accra visa office and I noticed that my initial email to the Lagos office received no reply. So, I figure Accra must be processing my application. Anyways, fingers crossed for positive updates.

I see, thanks for answering the Nairobi question. Respect bro!

Smileyin:
be grateful atleast you got a response in your account.... Online seems slower this period been waiting since June...

Abi o! Grateful always. I was just surprised that the Biometrics letter was delayed for so long...

Positive news coming SOON guys! All the best!

I am surprised McGill even accepted such a person. What a mistake. I have lived in the so called greatest and richest and freest nation in the world, the United States. For 18 years of my life. I do love Nigeria. The food, the culture of hospitality and respect and rich community life, you will never find in the so called advanced nations. The huge reservoir of Human Resources, all the talents here, the rich endowment from God and how all these can be harnessed into the making of a truly great nation, is up to us. I use to be so blind like this guy. It took me living in another man’s land for many years and returning to mine to truly understand the depth and height and width and length of what a truly great nation Nigeria is. I have vowed wherever in the world I go henceforth, I must return to Nigeria and never stay long away from it like I did before. I have been the happiest and freest here because this is home. It’s not a shithole. The bad things in Nigeria that I see, have embued me with moral strength to help change things and develop my country and help make it a better place to live.
