I know that but still labour or labor is correct.

justwise:
The UK is not the only English speaking country, labor is for Americans while the UK and many other English speaking countries use labour

The same thing with word like organisation and organization

So both are correct.

Yeap BA refused to check her in although few days before a friend Lawyer had warned us that legally an airline shouldnot fly with an expired passport if single nationality so we went early just incase and the system wont allow check in.
Covid excuse didnt do any magic ..... Had to reschedule the flight and went to naija embassy and paid for same day Passport but that too was a long thing to do. However ETC seemed very straightforward and walkin is allowed for ETC

Interesting enough BA called naija embassy in my presence and they picked one dial. You try calling naija embassy from today till tomorrow they never pick

You don’t lose anything if you move with her to the UK and experience UK yourself. Canada will not reject your student application cos you now live in UK. Be your own judge on whether UK is better for you or not, rather than rely on other people’s opinion, especially as you have the opportunity to experience both sides. If you stay for a bit in the UK and don’t like it, move to Canada.

I hate it here, so I’m just counting the days until I get my brit passport, then I will pack my bag and move to Canada. If I move to Canada and don’t like it there, I will pack my bags and and easily return to UK. Simple.

Another angle for you; coming to the UK will give you the opportunity to save enough money that you’ll need for your tuition, so you don’t become a burden on your wife. I’ve written my answer with the assumption that your wife is cool with overseas marriage.

I think anyone can leave place of work provided they fulfil the conditions to leave.

sonofakin:
There was no plan to leave initially. At least till the three years work permit expires. The company/agency has a lot of care homes in the UK. He was posted to one of them, rented a house, brought over his family, stuffs like that. Towards the end of last year, the company was sold to another company and the care home where he works was shut down (I guess the company was struggling). So he was given an option of being posted to another care home in another town entirely. In fact the deadline was like a week to decide. Sure he agreed to go to the new care home, about 2hours by public transport to his house. He did it for a while but it wasn't convenient due to the distance. Already he had an agreement with the landlord on rent issues (I'm not sure how it works but I'm sure you understand) so he couldn't move his family immediately. Had to rent a small room in the new town and only sees his family when he is off duty. Did that for months b4 they started hearing rumours that the new care home might be shut down again (maybe covid implications). He saw an advert from another company that has a care home close to his house and got the job. My point is I don't think he did it because he got what he wants from them. He followed procedure. The mistake was resigning b4 getting the visa with the new employer. Their representative have him a wrong advice which they later apologized but the deed had been done

Yemisih:

famzynet:
Nothing is said about passengers leaving Nigeria for abroad. I guess they won't be needing the covid test except country of travel requires it ,right?

Endlessgrace:
I used attached and passed the first time. I think cost is £4.99

I used a certified and highly recommended Jew for my son 2 years ago. It cost about £150 and was stress-free.

Can a biochemistry graduate register for hcpc straight up without additional qualifications?

nihilistjnr:
At face value, there are a number of contradictions in your post

1. You had a lot of work experience BUT you didn't know you had work experience

2. You're not crazy to move abroad, BUT you took on pay cut and a higher cost of living to get international experience....and despite not being happy here, you haven't moved back especially as you now have the international experience

3. The UK job was similar to the Naija job, BUT you undersold your Naija work experience to get it.


Are you happy to continue this discussion, as I dont want to ask questions that might be interpreted as prying.

If you are, I have a couple of questions. If you dont then we can leave it.

One thing that stands out is that if you got a similar job here in the UK whilst underselling your experience, then that suggests to me that you weren't going for the same role.

If you're an experienced hire, going for and getting a job without emphasising your experience, then surely that job doesn't require experience, which indicates less responsibility, which indicates less pay, no?

CANDID QUESTION
