... Guys be very careful when picking Agents or what not.... 2 students were refused at POE last month just cos the Agent they used gave them fake admission letters and also ate their tuition... Just cos ur Agent gave u admission letter and u used it to secure VISA does not mean u shouldnt do due diligence to contact the school urself to verify ur admission... Well... the got turned back and back in Naija right now... |

Politics › US House Speaker John Boehner To Resign by Siga(op): 5:46pm On Sep 25, 2015 |
Washington (CNN)John Boehner, the Ohio Republican who steered his party to an overwhelming House majority in 2010, told colleagues Friday he's stepping down as Speaker and will leave Congress at the end of October. The abrupt decision comes after he faced heavy pressure from conservatives to take a harder line on their causes, most recently over defunding Planned Parenthood as part of a package that would keep the government open. Boehner, who has presided over the House since 2011, explained during a closed-door meeting with Republicans Friday morning that he had only planned to serve two terms as speaker but decided to hold onto his post after then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost his seat during a primary last year, a Republican lawmaker in the room told CNN. Boehner, who will speak at a 1 p.m. news conference, also told the lawmakers that Pope Francis' visit to Congress the day before was a crystallizing moment, according to the lawmaker. Boehner then read the prayer of St. Francis to the conference after announcing his decision. The Ohio Republican's tenure as speaker has been marked by clashes with conservatives -- especially when it comes to fiscal policy. He's struggled to push through legislation to increase the debt ceiling and was facing another showdown next week to keep the government open. The speaker has often relied on Democratic votes during these moments -- a strategy that has infuriated conservatives. http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/25/politics/john-boehner-resigning-as-speaker/index.html... Can this ever happen in Nigeria? No crime, No money stolen.... Just because his Party Base is against him... |

Giov: @ Siga. Thanks for ur prompt reply. Initially when my bro made that proposal, I was already tryna make contacts on how to start my Ph.d in Music until he told me wat he had budgeted for my study. He said I shd look for a Diploma prog which tuition is ranges from $5k-$7 dollars. When I saw that dat may work against me I tries to convince him to let me do a PGD instead which costs abt $15k. So d issue here now is dat the amount he's ready to drop wud determine wat degree I go for as masters and Phd cud cost btw $30k-$45k. Jst want sth I can use to emmigrate so wen I get dia I can adjust. Btw I av a course mate of mine presently in Alberta institute of Technology who applied to do Business and was granted evn though he had his 1st degree in Music. Wat do u tink? ... Wetin difa for Taiwo is different from Kehinde oo... Lets be careful because you do not have access to what ur friend submitted... Na case by case... I was gonna suggest something in the Music line...
Just this year... an Alumni of Music dept. from Fanshawe College in London got a Grammy... it resonated well all over... I was hoping if u secure admission for the Music department... The reason u chose the School is glaring... U Chose the school cos they received nice reviews and Grammy.. and u believe u can get the best Music training there... just blabla...
Also... going for something in ur field will limit explanation... But in all... u have to decide... ask ur friend for FULL Details of his app... letters he submitted and try to blend it with ur story...Best of luck... |

hayqinsbFX: If I hadn't filled an employment stuff in my first app...I cud like to do without it.... Buh since I graduated just last year....an unpaid intern isn't something over the moon....
I'm just bothered about stating I'm an unpaid intern in a company I'm coming back to take over.. Help me on this... Asides the letter of introduction is an employment letter necessary.. ... Employment letter indicates and just solidifies ur claim of working for a company ... there are instances one or two documents erases doubts off the VO's mind... even though they know u will most likely not come back after ur studies... they still need u to show u won't stay... I will advise u add it since u fill in ur form u are employed... paid or unpaid... Unless u didn't stay unpaid in ur last app... Did u? |
Travel › Re: Travelling To Canada Part 8 by Siga: 6:37pm On Jun 21, 2015 |
hayqinsbFX: As to the length of proposed stay, I have a new admission letter stating my program is gonna be for 2yearrs as I will be enrolled in the fasttrack into the year 2 instead of starting from year 1.
I intend getting a letter of introducton from the company referencing my denial based on employment situation by saying they acknowledge that I'm an employer ssince so so so date.
About the payslips, I don't intend adding any as the letter of introduction would state that I am on a no pay scheme as im only a graduate trainee gettng valuable experience before I further my studies.
Am I good to go sir! ... Still abit concerned about that employment situation reason.... Well... we have to handle it with faith ... People don collect visa on top unpaid work... so its not unheard of... do all u can... |

What questions do u have for me now and how do u think I can solve this.
quote author=Siga post=35000201]... U have to put what the reasons are... remember they have a all in their database... u can't do but state it...Dont let that bother u... though I don't know the reasons why u were denied... but... ensure u fix all their wahala... and let God take control... ... Sorry about ur denial once again... 1. Length of Proposed stay get as e be oo... Ur program long sha... I always advise applying for visa with less and once u get here u can switch at will ...But since u have no option here... I can only suggest u write a detailed explanation as to why u chose a 3 yr Adv. Dip.
2. Would have done what someone advised here.... have an employment letter...
3. Payslip or tax receipt would be nice here... |

Giov: Dear Nairalanders, I'm I dire need of ur advise. I ran into dis thread accidentally in d course of researching into studying in Canada. I'm currently employed by Lagos state govt as a secondary sch teacher. I have 2years working experience. I have a B.A in Music (2009) M.A Music (2012) and currently doing a Post graduate Diploma in Education. My eldder bro is interested in sponsering me to study in Canada buh wants me to pick up a Diploma prog which appears to be cheaper and would last for 2years to enable me get a 3year work permit after completion. In d course of my research too I found out dat applying for a Diploma after getting a mastes degree may work against me wen I decide to apply for my visa therefore I was able to convince him that I shd go for a PGD instead. But the challenge now is this- I was told that courses that sells in canada are under trades and business. Therefore I'm looking at doing sth in Human Resouces, Advertisement, Tourism or better still doing another PGD in Education since I'm already in the teaching line. Don't knw if applying for any of these courses wud work againt me since dey are not in tandem wit my 1st and 2nd degree and these courses are also one year program can I get my Permanent resident under the one year I wud be working? Pls I'm not in a hurry to jet off to Canada hence my reason of wanting to get dis basic info befor I start applying to schools. Thanks Brothers and Sisters as I expect ur prompt replies. Thanks again. ... Would u mind sticking to Music? Cos... ur background is in Music... |

GboyegaD: Quite unfortunate though. I think the visa office in your case was the issue. I applied from the US on a student visa and got it. I met a few people here some who came from the US and some from Europe who all got it from their country of study. If you have to go home to apply to get it, no problems. I wish you the very best in your replication and I think now the process is faster than it used to be because I know a friend who got his within 6 weeks. ... Thanks for coming in bro... |

anthochie: Oga Siga...much respect sir....you are right to some certain extent...U r eligible to apply ...yes...but with a students visa...it is more than difficult to prove Ur ties to that country of residence....U r just a student there...U have no investments...no wife and kids there..no landed property...and u will be evaluated based on that country especially if u havnt been home in more than two years....if u read my post u will see that I practically supplied everything ...so I was amazed when after three days I was denied. I got an influential immigration lawyer via a professor here at my university and they contacted the embassy...the lawyer was told that my application was extremely detailed but I had no ties to Ukraine...I had not travelled to Nigeria in a while...so Ukraine was used as the country of assessment...I had nothing here...so I was refused...they even ticked purpose of visit...when I studied computer science ...and was going for msc in the same comp science...just cos they weren't sure I've been advised to go home and apply if I want to stand a chance...
So my point is ..U r eligible to apply..yes...but chances r slim if u hold a study permit.... ... Its rather unfortunate u were denied.... I see ur angle... but someone on this forum applied from Turkey and got it.... going to Naija to apply is not a guarantee... But it can show u at least returned to naija after studying in Ukraine and may return after studying in Canada.... I believe GboyegaD applied from Yankee sef... not sure... hope he can confirm... |

From the responses we have been getting from applicants who apply for study Visas outside Nigeria, they have been denied
In fact the last person was denied within 3 days ... Ur status in any country determines ur eligibility to apply from there... that does not determine denial or approval...
