USA is better than Canada. But Canada is more immigration friendly, ease of getting papers.

Interesting, well you right though but at least I don’t hear gunshots or get scared at certain neighborhoods at night or odd hours lol

ednut1:
Do not compare Canada to USA biko. The Usa is miles apart lol

When you say miles apart you mean Canada is better or?

ednut1:
Do not compare Canada to USA biko. The Usa is miles apart lol

Just curious ednut1, which is better US or Canada?

#I get your point though, but I chose not to accept the excuse.

Proof of funds is borrowed money naaa...it doesnt have to be part of the 5M he will go and spend in canada....

even if it is....

Proof of funds for study for one person is 10k cad... embassy will use official echange rate..
Thats 330naira....which is 3,300,000naira for proof of funds...

He will still have 1.7M.... abi??

his total tuition for one year course in The school i suggested for one year masters is 6390 cad....
he will pay only part tuition for the first 2 semesters... which is 1074 cad per semester=2148cad with form A.... even if bank charges 400naira/cad is just around 860k

1.7M minus 860k will still leave nearly 800k...


How have i lost u?? What dollar are u talking about....have u even paid school fees with Form A before?? Bank deducts u based in the currency of the country u are paying and they will tell u the exchange rate...
My brother paid to uk recently...he was debited in naira at 545naira /1 pound

Do it your way oga...if u dont get my explanation...

I get you . I used form A too you correct on that angle, check that stuff again and I think the 6k plus is per semester not full Tution, cause these guys are funny . He would be truly sure when he get his letter of Acceptance. Cause mine also showed similar stuff and my full Tution was like 19k plus but per semester it’s like 9k or so , I feel it’s 6k per semester and like 13k plus full tuition. He needs to confirm with the school too and not assume. I get you it’s doable but not easy but we Nigerians , since Independence nothing has been easy lol . I think proof funds too needs to be in the account for like 6 months or so , something like that.

Do you know Cambrian College?

It’s a good college in Ontario . They offer PGWP. Any college you going for ensure it’s a DLI institution and they offer PGWP not all colleges are on the list so check the immigration website to confirm. Ensure the college you select is on the list and offers PGWP,

@op the advantage though Canada has more than Uk. and other countries I know of is there isn’t any 20hrs work week cap and all, you can work unlimited hours as a student now in Canada. All you need is to find the right balance between work and studies , so you can make so much money if you smart and all.

And if you coming don’t get addicted to Tim Hortons lol . I am though trying to stop it lol

Starzo:

And Ghana is something to write home about??...if Ghana is all you put it to be, why have you not permanently relocated there??

Mumu!

You correct.

Ghana isn’t what it used to be 100 percent . I’m surprised Nigerians hype that place thought I’m grateful spent 4 yrs doing bachelors there but the country has changed so much. Inflation is so high . Transportation is so expensive. Literally everything, even the power we praise isn’t 24/7 like it once used to be though the power is still better than Nigeria but comparing it to what it once used to be it’s poor now. Lots of Ghanaians too are migrating just like us too.

Rent in Canada is monthly but most landlords might require you pay 2 months or 3 months upfront and they always require a credit check and would do a pre-authorized debit and some might require a one year contract. Lots of other expenses to do in the country too like shopping and feeding . Honestly 5m you need to really look at the big picture especially if you have no one where you going it can be really difficult. You would literally need a job 2 weeks or less after landing . It’s crazy mehn. I’m not in Europe but have friends there I feel smaller European countries are cheaper to migrate too. Just the issue of language barrier and all. But lots of Nigerians use them as transit point to later migrate to the United States. Canada , Australia or the UK. You can also consider that pathway too

advanceDNA:


The man said he has 5M...he wants to know if 1.5 can take get him out .....
he's a good planner...he doesnt want to go and get stranded like pple do in uk...



With form A from bank, around 400k will pay his first semester tuition1.1 will cover Visa fees and plane ticket

he will still have 3.5M for rent and feeding for the first few months and tution payment for the next semseter...after that..money from the job he will get will cover the rest....and he will still probably have some naira left

Now you lost me . 1.5m to cover First semester Tution, Flight ticket and Visa fees. Not possible under the heavens.

Don’t forget he needs to provide proof of funds that would cover 1yr living expenses and he’s full Tution fees. Canadians don’t joke they deny student visa anyhow unlike the UK that’s pretty easier to get their student visa. Canada study permit is quite difficult to get . Lots of denials . You need to cross every thing on their box . Hope you know the exchange rate currently and Form A only covers Tution payment. Doesn’t cover flight ticket and visa fees. Then you have PTA of $4k all in USD. Form A officially deals with USD not CAD but if you paying Tution you would be debited the USD equivalent of the Canadian dollar here . Honestly 5m for a study visa is Not easy. For Canada people use 10m and still need assistance too.

Using gen
I stayed last year from January till December, f in Accra , light didn't blink for a second still I left.
Nigeria is full of gen noise not civilized, that's why you will continue to queue to buy fuel.
You don't even have enough petrol in Nigeria and you're talking of wretched life, u dey suffer.
Ghana is better than Nigeria by far.

Charlie Ghana Dey messed up ridee. Dema president fool waaa. Menes Dey bore waaa. Ghana isn’t how it was 8yrs ago . Isn’t juicy again . Inflation Dey high waa.

Would advise you try other European countries too. Don’t consider any African countries even South Africa too. Someone was saying Ghana lol. Did my bachelors at Kwame Nkrumah University of science and technology Kumasi. Nothing in Ghana . Lots of my Ghanaian classmates are In the Uk and US . Ghana is in a mess right now. Similar fate with lots of African countries too.

advanceDNA:


I no dey argue abeg... That's tuition for memorial university...it's one of the cheapest in Canada especially ...
One year course is just around 6k ..which is less than 1.9M....if u are paying once.... But u pay just a little over 1000cad per semester if u are paying in bits..

You correct. Well I’m a bit surprised though . I’m in Ontario and my fees are really high 9k plus so surprised there was a cheaper school lol . Kind of sucks . But to comfort myself @op that region is really cold . So factor that in too. And it’s not as diverse as Ontario with respect to different racies and cultures.

advanceDNA:


U like grammar...what is competitive once u have a genuine admission.....

Try uk...your 5 million wont even be enough to pay half tuition.......

Another country u can try is canada..... memorial univeristy and saskachewan univeristy tuition is just around 6k5 to 7k cad....

It’s domestic student that pay that amount in Canada. International students pay way more.

I work hard though but sometimes I feel I’m lazy sef , you can make so much money in Canada if you have the brains, right mindset and aren’t lazy. Nice one op . Though I’m studying so don’t have much time to juggle both to maximum Efficiency too.

mizz2posh:


Wetin you wan carry pasta, sachet tomato paste and curry and thyme go do for abroad, those are available in canada.

Really funny all those stuffs are available literally in Canada

This might sound funny but all the while in Nigeria I underestimated Aboniki balm but Canada made me know the value of Aboniki. @ednut 1 , do you use Aboniki

ednut1:
The hypocrisy stinks

It really stinks big time.

Saverin:
Nigerians still don't get it. Our debt servicing to revenue ratio is projected at 123%. What this means is for every 100N FG makes, 100N goes into debt servicing (not repaying debt oh) and additional N23 is borrowed to meet debt obligations.

Nigeria has not built any foundation to recover from an economic doom/meltdown. The nation is at brink right now. Leave quietly or leave as a refugee (if Jagaban wins for sure)

Exactly really scary. I feel a lot of people that have the opportunity to leave and don’t leave might look back with some regret.

Funny thing is after 10yrs or so of getting citizenship and saving money no one stops you from coming back but at that stage you have leverage and a second option. Nigeria is sweet when you have a way out and leverage

@ednut 1 I really love your analysis on the various japa topic it’s very insightful and educative. Please continue doing the good work you doing . God richly bless you.

I think people who say people shouldn’t japa are wicked and evil. A lot of them have either gone, can’t go or are very comfortable in Nigeria and don’t want the progress of others.

Leaving Nigeria legally with a good plan is the best decision one can make.

cunny88:
She had a golden opportunity to skul abroad which millions of Nigerian are looking for, she misused it and is looking for an opportunity to apportion blame, ppl like me attended public skuls from primary to university level with very minimal supervision, cos our parents were poor, yet we manage to kip our heads above d water. She is the master or her fate and architect of her misfortune.

Exactly she blew it. She’s just giving excuses. At the end we are all responsible for our actions.

Nice nice, but can you go into details more would be very helpful

Study route is the best. Though it also depends on the country you looking at, Canada , United States, in your situation Study route is the most preferred, since you don’t have a masters degree, you can apply and go for a masters degree programme, with respect to cost, look at scholarship programmes, that would help reduce cost significantly. Also another way is one person say your wife goes with the kids through study and then she applies for you to come over literally few months after she’s there , while she schools and work 20hrs per week, you would be eligible to work full time. Do your research though if you opt for European countries, cause I’m in Canada and a little familiar with the system. I think European countries say UK differ though. Best of luck Sir.

But thinking about it, you can't really blame Nigerians for choosing the UK, Canada and Australia is very very very hard to get their visa, UK is a bit easier, so most people don't get Canada or Australia and their only option is the UK, so they are left with either taking it or remaining in Nigeria until Canada or Australia clicks, remember time is ticking age isn't on their side.

But I Know people who go to the UK and after their studies apply for Australia or Canadian PR.

Really interesting and educative thread

Personally I don't like the UK due to issues of ease of residing there after studies. Australia, Canada, Germany and few other countries have transparent Immigration laws and it's a bit easier to reside legally after studies compared to the UK

Perfecttouchade:
Dubai now request your 6months bank statement cash in flow and out, confirmed return ticket/Hotel reservation. This is the New UAE visa requirements for Nigerian passport holders.

Aaah wahala oooo

Also are you planning on relocating using the study route or ?

If it's a visit visa would be difficult cause of the many restrictions you would face with respect to getting a job and all

Well , would advice South Korea, Austria , Poland, Portugal, Finland due to your budget of 2m

But Canada , United States and Australia, Germany too are really good countries if you can afford it.
