I just came across this thread. Anyone going to a country to study with the aim of staying back is taking a gamble. It can either work or not. The whole purpose of studying abroad is for better education not to remain there. That’s why it’s hard to switch from study visa to PR. I do not blame them as well. If you think about it from another perspective, you wouldn’t fault them. Imagine if Nigeria was like U.K. or all them countries, then people from chad or other these yeye countries are coming to take your jobs and benefit from your country. How would you feel? You will be like ogbeni o, Abeg all these people should go back. Same thing with Ghana must go. So it makes sense as to why they don’t want people to stay back after studying. They have already rendered the service you paid for; Oya start going. It’s only if you’re an asset that they can reconsider. Who doesn’t want an asset? Unfortunately most immigrants are liabilities than assets. One man will carry his 5 kids in the name of dependents. They are studying for free. On top tax payers money. ********************************************** With this being said, it’s advisable to study in countries where there’s low or no tuition. Getting Canada , US & Germany visa now is very hard from Nigeria but easier outside. So if one has 6m for example. You can go to universities in Europe that charge like €2k per year. Usually you get 9-12months to stay back & find work. If you’re not able to secure work, you can now start applying to all them Canada (as it will be easier) with your remaining balance of 6m plus money you would have made from studying in that European country. Hopefully things get better after this CONVID19 & these countries will stop being strict on immigrants for no reason. After all we are one. What affects another, affects all of us. Also studying in Europe motivates you to learn a Language which is a +1 on your CV. You also get to build your travel history because travelling within Europe is very cheap. This is better than carrying your whole 6m to study in the U.K. because it’s a popular destination & English is spoken. At the end of the day, you will find yourself struggling to get a job if you’re not into the medical field. The two years that’s shaking everyone will come and pass. By then you will now start thinking of doing another masters to remain or Oyibo to marry or all that nonsense. The U.K. is good but you have to research well before coming. Getting PR in the U.K. is very very hard. The US is even better because if you marry akata, you get green card. In the U.K., it will take a lot before you get PR through that route. If they also catch that you were working more than 20 hours during your study years, I’m very sorry for you. I’ve come to realise that all these popular countries have nothing to offer as compared to ones that aren’t popular. U.K./ US are third world countries wearing Gucci Belt. Go to Estonia and see magic. Or Denmark or Luxembourg. You won’t even believe that you’re on earth. Advanced technology to the core. Visit Asia & see What’s up. Plus all these unpopular countries are were you can even easily settle down. Either through studies or work or being partnered with a citizen. I have a friend in Switzerland . He moved there from U.K. after he came back from study abroad. Till today I don’t know what convinced him but when I visited him there, I was very impressed with his standard of living. See better apartment with correct window views. He got a job at the university where he studied abroad & they sponsored his work visa. He is also engaged to a local. He speaks German very well now as well. I can bet that he would have never gotten such opportunity in the U.K. easily. Throughout my stay I kept thinking about my life in the U.K. lmao. I have a good job as well but honestly when the tax system deals with you , you just have to humble yourself. It took me time to even get this job here. After my Bsc (4 years) no work. Then I did a masters (1 yr) no work. I couldn’t afford to go back to Nigeria so I started doing another masters again (1yr) and that’s when I finally got a job. This was after thousands of applications. 80% of them came back as rejection. U.K. is very depressing, nothing special. His apartment in the U.K. will cost me about £1,200 per month if not more. I know my story is getting long, it’s isolation that has given me time. All in all, research other countries. Stop rushing to US and the rest. Ignore any typos please Just finished eating Don’t have time to start cross checking 14 Likes 1 Share |

cooooooks: The last time I tried their certificate Programme. The tuition fees I saw was on the high side. Can you mention any cheap college for Engineering? |
Re: I Need Your Migration Advice Please, I'm About To Make A Life Changing Decision. by cooooooks(m): 1:50am On Apr 04, 2020 |
Get a certificate program in: - Montreal - Manitoba - Vancouver - Alberta Some colleges tailor their programs around the students to allow them to work. Sometimes they compress their programs into Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, or only weekends, etc. Choose a certificate that is in high demand and choose a college/program that offers work experience.

cooooooks: How much money in total does one need to move to Canada as a student? both for paid and on scholarship? |
Re: I Need Your Migration Advice Please, I'm About To Make A Life Changing Decision. by cooooooks(m): 3:59pm On Jan 03, 2021 |
Depends on what you're studying & where you're studying (which province and which school). Believer013: |

cooooooks: Chemical engineering, but I've not yet done a lot of research on Canadian universities. Let's say I'm going on scholarship, because actually that is the plan, how much will it cost to write all the necessary exams, get a visa, pay for a flight ticket, and such. In short, if I'm going to study in Canada on scholarship how much should I be ready to raise? |
Re: I Need Your Migration Advice Please, I'm About To Make A Life Changing Decision. by cooooooks(m): 11:16pm On Jan 03, 2021 |
If you already have a B.Sc, the fees will not be so much and there are opportunities for scholarship. To be admitted, you will need your B.Sc and IELTS. I don't think you need any other examination. At least, not for Canada. Believer013: 1 Like |

cooooooks: Thank you very much for the info, really helpful. But one thing is still missing, bro. You said not much money is needed, but then what is not much to you may be enormous to me. Please like what range? Lets say plus or minus 1million. |
Re: I Need Your Migration Advice Please, I'm About To Make A Life Changing Decision. by cooooooks(m): 5:22am On Jan 04, 2021 |
True, true. That's why I said it depends on the province, school & program. For a Bachelor's program, I think the cheapest university tuition should be ~$10,000 a year which is ~N3 million. Less for Certificates & Diplomas. You usually need less for Master's programs. Some Thesis Master's program turn out to be net positive when grants, invigilating, TA work & scholarships are considered. However, you must have a proof of liquid funds for the total amount: academic & living expenses combined; when you apply for a visa. Believer013: 1 Like |
