Forgive my asking but why descrepancy in names and date of birth. Girls, marriage and change of name I understand, for guys, I don't understand. Why do they differ in other docs? If the cert was prerequisite for admission to subsequent. Why wait till now to correct it? Thinking as a VO

Am not really sure if I indicated that I have done IELTS. Initially I had already prepared documents required for NSE so I had done academic IELTS in August before submitting in September. I just didnt submit it upon submission then.

Eligibility Review commenced 1st Dec, I wonder I long it will take to reach a decision. My fear with regards to my application is just 2 reasons
1. Because I dont have landed properties in my name. I only submitted an employment bond I signed with the office stating that I will be absorbed into the company upon completion of the studies and I will remain with the company for the next 3 years afterwards.
2. I have a 6 years old that wont be accompanying me. She is remaining with her dad till I get back.

Anyways I honestly hope for the best.

This morning, I went out briefly and I was about 15 minutes away from home. Suddenly the call just entered .

Ups man: Hello! I am the UPS delivery man I am in front of your house.
Me: Argh! I went out briefly can you please come to the location?
Ups man: Do you have your collection slip with you?
Me:which one is collection slip again? I sent everything together at once.
Ups man: If you don't have the collection slip, I can't deliver I am returning it.
Me: Baba, please give me 2 minutes, I will join you now now!!

Na so I carry Okada o sharperly. I got to my house I saw UPS bike I didn't see the rider. I just moved closed to the UPS bike and hold it as if na my papa get am.

Opposite my house they are selling akamu and akara. The man was there sipping his akamu and he sighted and just holla me.

Me: Madam, please give this man more 1000 naira akara and 1000 naira pap.
UPS man screamed aahaan Oga you wan kii me.
Me: Oga free free all bills on me. Madam please satisfy this man and no collect one naira from him o

Ups man: Bros I am okay, I have been waiting for you and thank you for the payment of my meal.

So, I took the man to one corner and educate him well that I sent all my documents through DHL, your company should even be thanking me that I didn't do 2-way bill. And there is nothing like collection slip.

He now said what do we do? He doesn't want to be queried at work.

Me: Baba what do you want me to do? I have been waiting for this thing since God knows when.
Ups man: Can you do a photocopy of the front page of your passport, after you have opened this parcel?
Me: Baba that one na smallest thing in this life, I will do 30 copies if you want

Photocopy center is very far from house but I don't mind. We got there, opened the stuff, I shown him the visa page, is this where you want baba? He said yes.

Generator of photocopier no gree start o. At the end Gen start we made copy of my visa page.

Baba said my digital photo is not showing. I said but that's the page you requested. Well no problem, I think you need my passport datapage?

Ups man said Yes, I'm very sorry.

That's how the datapage was done for him and I collected my parcel.

To God will always be the glory.

Thanks for making my day.

Onweke:
When did you receive your letter of acceptance for GIS application specialist from College of North Atlantic ?.

I can relate to this as I have a close person on the same predicament who is also having a tough time making a decision between uk and camada for study.

Truth is, UK is very easy to get a study permit. I belong to a telegram group and I can say that in the past months study visa sucees rate is close to 100%. But the issue with uk is its better to pick a course of study that will guarantee you a job on the shortage list which will make you qualify for a skilled work permit after study which eventually will lead to PR. Also, the 2 years post study permit recently introduced makes uk attractive, but it's only valid for 2 years and not renewable. Which means you will need to do all you can to get a sponsor to employ you and make you eligible to stay back in the uk. So in summary UK is easy to get into, but difficult to get PR except you are in a shortage occupation like Healthcare and IT.

Canada on the other hand is harder to enter but easier to stay back and get PR. You also need to make sure you bave a very strong SOP and supporting documents to back your application. I suggest you get on YouTube and check @canadainfohub or @noelabingwa to help you put together a strong application for your study. Learn from other people's mistakes so you don't fall victim as well.

To your questions raiaed:

1) you can start your application now as the earlier the better to save the rush especially since the pandemic.

2) ielts depends largely on your schools requirements. Also recently some people have had to do ielts to enable them process their requests faster on the Nigeria Students Express. Ielts is required and 12 months statement amongst some other things.

3) you can start your application by watching video on the step by step process and also checking cic. Ca for study permit requirements

4) requirement will also inform you it the amount you stated is sufficient or if you need to pull more funds together before applying. U can pull more funds over the next 4 to 6 months and make your application once you have the funds. That will still give you enough time to make your application before September 21.

5) yes a Clos relative can sponsor you, but this is dependent on your current status. For instance if you state in you sop that you have been working or if you're of a certain age, it's expected that you should have enough funds to sponsor your self.

6) I've stated the pro and cons earlier about uk and Canada. Try and give Canada a shot and if it doesn't fall through you have a plan b which is uk. But if uk is your last resort make sure you get into a course on the shortage list to help your chances of getting a job that will put you on the route to PR.

All the best
