Omonoba1981:
True ! I have been on call making inquiry for flight Delta airline for Miami 16-19th to Lagos and return date of 31st to Toronto.

The Lowest I could go was 1600 USD. It went as high as 2000 USD. I think I will go with Austacus suggestion. We just spoke with the MP, that has been helping following up. And he just told me to send him some detail so he can talk the CIC office. He asked if i had updated my contact detail via the webform initially. I told him , yes ! When I left Nigeria, I actually sent a mail via webform that I am now in Miami. Not sure why they didn't take this into consideration.

Hello Guys,

I noticed when I choose Yes as an answer to the question (Have you visited or lived in any one of the designated countries for 6 consecutive months in the last year??), Medical section was displayed as part of the section that am supposed to fill. Am I to leave the medical space empty? I don't plan to do upfront.

Guys, Am I suppose to answer Yes or No? I selected Yes because Nigeria is in the list of designated countries

EducationRe: Youtube Has Blocked MIT Educational Content For 4 Days by SeriaBravo: 9:26am On Jun 20, 2018
Oh finally I now know why.Thanks for the info

I was trying to watch a Machine Learning course on MIT Opencourseware since yesterday with no luck.

Maxcollins042:
At least the reason why JayZ's song was blocked is obvious. In case you don't know JayZ's song was blocked because the content contravenes YouTube's policies.

Now why is MIT's video inaccessible on YouTube for the past four days?

Have you travelled with the visit visa after you were granted?

Greetings my people.
So I was refused study permit yesterday.

My question is this : can I apply for the permit from within Canada? I already have a scheduled trip to Canada in July/ August because I have visitor visa valid till 2020.

Elders in the house please advise me.

Thank you in advance.
TravelRe: Can One Be A Millionaire With Doing Menial Jobs In Germany? by SeriaBravo: 1:59pm On Jun 11, 2018
You need to understand me. I am just trying to set the expectation right.

Germany is a country of rules.I am well travelled and I have not seen a country were citizens follow rules to the latter.

Most time in Germany, there is no cutting corners whether you are a local or international person.Also information on official sites is descriptive enough to know what is obtainable.


willy2000:
if you know, you know. Like I said, If you work per hr, you determine how much you earn per Month zzg. per Year. When it comes to finances I advise people to ask locals how to go about it. Look for someone you trust and he will guide you. If you think you know it all by just reading up the law, good for you.
TravelRe: Can One Be A Millionaire With Doing Menial Jobs In Germany? by SeriaBravo: 1:31pm On Jun 11, 2018
Earning 25 Euro per hr then you will typically earn more than 8k in a year.

Also, your tax class will change automatically. Even for those that get tax returns not sure you will get everything back

The system is regulated to prevent students from making more than a certain amount.

willy2000:
Yes, they are students.
About the 40% tax, you get it back when you declare you tax at the end of the year if you don't earn above 8k.
So, I think it is a win-win.
But like I said earlier, the higher you earn, the more likely you spend more. You just have to be super discipline to save up. There are other ways of getting your money back even if you pay the 40% tax. Get a good Tax adviser and you will surprise with the knowledge you will gain.
TravelRe: Can One Be A Millionaire With Doing Menial Jobs In Germany? by SeriaBravo: 12:55pm On Jun 11, 2018
Are these friends of your's students?

This seems more like the usual Gross pay per hour for IT graduates with good software development skills. Keeping in mind the 40% tax.

willy2000:
It is possible if you are a programmer and you are very good at what you do.
Minimum pay you get is 13€ per hr, I have friends who ear 25€ per hr. so making 1200 a month is a piece of cake even during the semester.
But I don't think you can save 10m naira in two years maybe 4years is possible.
you have to be very disciplined to achieve that.
TravelRe: Can One Be A Millionaire With Doing Menial Jobs In Germany? by SeriaBravo: 9:15am On Jun 11, 2018
10m in 2 years as a student?

That is around 23,000k Euro in two years!!! How many working class in Germany even have such in savings.

The high percentage of the money you make in Germany stays in Germany.

Even if you make 15Euro/hour as a student(I think this is only possible for IT jobs and you must be very skilled with years of experience).I think

once you cross 1000 or 1200 euro you must pay tax. Also, you can only work 20hrs per week. In fact, working 20hrs a week is enough to make

your studies suffer because German education is TOUGH.
