Memorial University of Newfoundland is one of the cheapest schools you can attend in Canada.

Right now, the Canadian job market is not what it was after 2021, but it still depends heavily on your skills and experience.

As for PR, it is not guaranteed.......but nothing in life is guaranteed except death. So you have to plan wisely.

Think carefully about all your options. Check whether you currently qualify for any PR category-based draws.

If you come to Canada to study and later work, and you can get up to 500 CRS points, which may qualify you for a CEC draw after graduation if not you need to rethink about it.

However, with current trends, scores may remain around that range for a long time, especially if you are not in an in-demand field.

The school itself is solid ranked among the top 30 universities in Canada.....and still one of the most affordable options.

When it comes to jobs, it depends on your skills. The Canadian job market is very competitive, but you can find a job if you have the right skills and are persistent. Just be prepared.........it may take time.

And again, PR is not guaranteed. Age is not on your side you will school and work for 3 years before you start looking at PR options, except you focus on category-based draws or a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) if you are coming to canada

Thanks so much for taking time to address my questions. I'll think critically about this move.

Hello ma and sir. I would need your opinion on this.

Recently completed my studies in Belgium. Everything is good here I must say, I can't complain.

Only problem is that getting sponsorship jobs after study to stay is difficult. Even if one can speak the language.

I checked Memorial University in New Foundland and saw a program I am qualified for. Tuition is reasonable too.

But my fear is job prospects after graduation and path to PR. And also if there are student jobs too in Canada to support me through my studies.

Have you heard anything about Newfoundland?

I already obtained a Masters in Development Evaluation here in Belgium and another from Nigeria in Public Administration.

I'm in my mid 30s

Hello everyone.
I recently got accepted into the University of Antwerp and I must say that I have gained valuable info on this thread while I have been processing my documents these past weeks.
Thank you all.

Please I need a little clarity on sponsorship. I want to use my brother in the US as my sponsor. He has been able to gather all required documents for the legalisation of Annex 32 (proof of financial support)...with the exception of proof of family tie.

Here's an excerpt from the website of the Belgian Embassy in the US...

- proof of family ties between the student and the sponsor: original birth certificates with an apostille for American documents or (if needed) legalization from both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country of birth as well as a legalization from the Belgian representation in your country of birth.
Please contact the Belgian representation in your country of birth to inquire about the legalization procedure.

This would mean my brother would have to send his birth certificate to Nigeria, and have it authenticated and legalised (alongside mine), and then have them sent back to him. That would take a considerable amount of time which I am worried that I don't have.
Is there maybe another way to go about proving family ties?

Did anyone here who had a sponsor in the US go through this?

And lastly, does a sponsor have to be a close relative? Can a family friend sponsor someone? I have a family friend in Belgium and I read somewhere that sponsors in Belgium don't have to prove family ties.

Please I would love to get some info about this. The ones I've been gathering online have been somewhat contradictory. The Embassies are not helping as well, as they have not been responding to my mails.

Thank you very much.

Hello boss. How did this later go? How did you go about proving your ties with your sponsor?

Please guys, I have an interview coming up for a care job with the NHS.

@AdvanceDNA and all, any tips to ace this first time would be appreciated.

Thanks to you all. @fabulous,lordsinger and jokuns. Although I found that my bank statement shows the address of the bank, like where I opened the account

Hello guys, I have a care interview coming up with an NHS department. They have requested to show a proof of address and a means of ID, of which I'll show my passport.

For the proof of address, the utility bill for my apartment has the name of the property owner. And it wasn't the address I filled while applying as my address has changed since I made the application. Can I use the bill like that? Anyone with this experience?

advanceDNA:
U think nigerians dont know there are no jobs before paying crazy money

Do you think it's worth it selling everything back home without a real job with shift to cater for your needs in the UK?

babakb:
HND holders can't secure admission to MSc directly anywhere in the world, better do a HND-BSc conversion in Nigeria now, I'm also a HND graduate and I have started my conversion program, hoping to finish next year August then I will start my Japa plans properly.

How about if I have a PGD and a taught Masters degree in the same course?

ExpressBooking:
I really don't understand why Turkish Airlines will route a flight going to Scotland UK through Dublin.

First the Hub for Turkish Airlines is Istanbul and they have lots of flights going to UK daily. Why didn't they take you to LHR, LGW or STN, from where they can easily get you to Glasgow.

Bringing that Aircraft from Istanbul to Dublin, for onward Journey to Glasgow will be a big loss to Turkish Airlines, as they won't get enough passengers in Dublin to fill up the flight from Dublin to Glasgow. Ryan Air flies a round trip from Dublin to Glasgow for €65, a price Turkish Airlines won't fly for a one way ticket on that route.

Aer Lingus, Ryan Air and British Airways will make that trip way cheaper than Turkish Airlines and more persons will prefer them.

But in any case, if they route your flight through Dublin, then you need a transit visa to be on the safe side

Turkish Airline doesn't take you to Glasgow when they get to Dublin, there's usually a connecting flight like Aer Lingus that does that which you would have already booked for and it's in your ticket

elloso:
I later used British Airways. It has just a stopover at Heathrow and then to Scotland.

Very good choice I must say. Did your inquiries make you opt for British Airways? Did you find out that you would need a transit visa? Let people following this thread know for future reference. Enjoy Scotland!

Frankly, I was in the same situation a few days back. I called Turkish Airline and they said that my friend and children that I booked a flight for to Glasgow from Abuja en route Dublin, would require a transit visa in Ireland. I even went as far as calling the Ireland Embassy here in Nigeria and they sent this.

https://www.irishimmigration.ie/at-the-border/transit-including-transfer-visa-advice/

Let us know how it goes after your inquiries.

We later rerouted sha, but it was at great cost. And FYI, Dublin is not in the UK

@AdvanceDNA, you are doing well, but soon we go re-modify, ur DNA

Sell the land only after getting admission and you are sure what you going for.

And then, 10m nor go reach you complete the Japa movement. You would need your friend or other relatives to support you with another 10m to get to your promise land.

PS: you need the money for your proof of funds, you can send it back to whomever lent you when you arrive.

A lot of people travel for vacation this summer period. But if you think otherwise, OYO

Oracle12:
As far as I know, it has not worked for anyone. You will get appointment, but they will not issue the visa. They will wait until you have a job

That's cool. How about if a student gets a job while schooling, can he not file for the spouse reunion? Please, did your wife also learn how to speak German before she was issued a visa? Heard its a requirement too. And, how long does the whole process take, from filing to when visa is issued

I don't know about Japa, but my family will survive relocation abroad with God's help.

SouthSultan:
Hello guys, do dependants need a yellow fever vaccine or need a card that it's been taken before traveling?

And does one need a transit visa if he's traveling through Dublin to Glasgow using a Turkish Airline? If yes, can it be done at the airport?

Please this is urgent!

Hello guys, so no one has traveled this route? This has really cost me money. Thought we are like a family here

Hello guys please does one need a transit visa from Abuja to Glasgow en route Dublin Ireland? There will be a stop at Dublin Airport where they would switch to another Airline. Its Turkish Airline

hayesconcept:
Yes, there’s law against it. As a family of 5, at least you need 2 to 3bedroom to start with. Those living in shared apartments with your MA will snitch to the landlord or the council and this might involve police or social care. The implications of it is that your children will be taken away from you pending the time you’re able to sort yourself out. Did you want something like that?

My advice for you is to travel before the vignettes expired and find money to booked the return ticket in a week. Try and collect all your BRP cards within that week and return to naija with the kids. You can then return alone to look for a job and secure better accommodation.

UK no dey joke with Children. Ire oo

Thanks man, but MA is a care worker who is already in UK. He just wants to know if he can stay with them in the shared flat for like a month, until he sorts out a 2room for the fam.

Molajim:
I doubt if anyone will rent out 1 room to a fam of 5., considering the utilities that y’all will use. The simple answer is no, there is no guarantee ul get appropriate accommodation in 2 months but we don’t know ur situation.

MA is already there living in a room in a 3 bedroom shared apartment, and things have really been somehow. Dependants have to go before vignettes expire. Would there be law contravention of any kind?

Please guys, can a family of 5, 3 children(
a boy and 2 girls), ages 10 and below, manage a room for like a month in the UK until they are able to secure a better accommodation?

Money nor too dey

Hello Madu, how was your journey? I am currently seeking employment opportunities in the IOM, what's your advice for me?

dee1504:
I know someone who has been applying to NHS organisations for care roles as well but has not been successful despite having 2 interviews so far. The recruiters simply claim the Band she's applying for (Band 4) is not high enough to warrant sponsorship from abroad (which is a lie). Some use the Red-list excuse. What I always advise her to do is to keep applying. All the setbacks won't matter when you get one 'Congratulations' email.

What you can do is to keep proof-reading your CV and supporting information. Make it as comprehensive and grammatical error-free as possible. Joy is coming soon.

In addition, Care roles are not the only jobs available in the UK. Check for other roles that you may be qualified for, you may just be surprised at what you will find.

I hope this helps

Thank you very much for this boss

Ifedayofemi:

Hello, please I have been applying for care jobs in the UK via Trac and Scotjob sites. The unsuccessful job mails have been frustrating.
What could I be doing wrong? I need help. I have taken several care courses and have a care experience here in Nigeria.

dee1504:
What job are you applying for?

Drop your questions here so others can learn from it too, I'll be happy to respond.

Sorry for the illness, that is why sometimes I do tell people that abstaining from sex is the Best, sleeping with a complete stranger is not right, it marvels me a lot, many girls/women are roaming about with incurable sickness looking for ambitious men to devour, if you are sex starve as a man, you should instead been patience before you get marry, 5 minute of sexual enjoyment have send many to their early grave, wish you quick recovery.

Which recovery? OP said it's incurable

You have now experienced various economic and financial policies under past governors of the Central Bank of Nigeria, but who among them do you sincerely think the newly appointed acting CBN gov. should emulate? Chukwuma or Abdul, the past governors with names similar to his?

Under which of these governors did Nigeria blossom economically with significant impact on the populace?

CLASSMAN:
pls how do i attend to this issue for my daughter application, the date on the certificate(was issued) is 03/02/2023 and date of birth is 29/09/2021 there is no mentioned of 29/09/2023 in the certificate

Hello @Classic, u don fit resolve this? I found my niece and nephew have a similar issue. How did you get it fixed?

I feel so too

I am one person that believes that in order to curtail the activities of internet fraudsters and yahoo yahoo, the government has to put enticing educational incentives in place for youth to to take their education seriously.

Truly, if there are jobs for graduates after school and the quality of the education is such that is obtainable throughout the world, cybercrime would greatly reduce and eventually lose its enchantment on the Nigerian youth.

Thus, I feel that if first class Bachelors holders and excellent Masters and PhD graduates automatically get jobs, these would go a long way to eliminate or drastically reduce frustration and increase the incentive of education.

Hello guys, please UKVI is requesting that my niece of 7 years show evidence that she was born on her said date of birth. We are having this problem cus the date of birth on her certificate was different from the date it was issued.

This is basically for the fact that there was an addition to her surname which the former birth certificate did not have, and on issuing the new one, there was discrepancy in the date of issuance and date of birth. Can she swear an affidavit as to the differences in both dates on her cert? Should she submit the former cert and explain why she had to do a new one?
