Yes you can be refused if you have certain transmitable diseases which can easily spread in Canada.

It doesn't necessarily mean automatic rejection depending on the case but it can ultimately lead to refusal.

olajigaolamide:
Do people get refused on Medicals? What is the purpose of medicals?

Racism and the demand of STEM courses are two very different topics so not sure why/how you have combined them.

The reason people advise you study STEM courses is because there is more demand for such skills compared to social studies courses. As you know most countries are experiencing a boom in technology innovation and development, so countries like the US, Canada etc need engineers, scientists to meet growing demand. Not to say you cannot get a job with a social sciences degree, you can but at the moment there is a lot more demand for STEM skills so as an immigrant who needs sponsorship it's easier to get a job and sponsorship with a STEM skill where demand outweighs local supply compared to a social science degree where local supply outweighs demand.

Nigerians in diaspora!!

This one thing has been on my mind for a longggg time.

So I've been seeing a lot of write-ups and posts about racism in the professional world abroad. A lot of people are of the opinion that, in order to be very successful (maybe easily), it's advised for one going abroad to opt out for STEM courses, the science, technology and mathematical courses, Emphasis especially has been made on nursing (for people without a nursing background)

I really want to know....... does it mean that people who study social science courses like public relations, mass communication and the likes over there, find it difficult getting job? especially people who would want to stay back after studies.
Does it also mean that they don't pay well in this sector?

A friend of mine already made up her mind to study nursing from undergraduate, and it looks like she'd have to write waec again, in order to pass chemistry and physics. I really don't know if it's worth the stress.
I for one wouldn't mind switching to a stem course, starting all over, in order to stand out, whatever worth doing has to be done well. And besides, we all want to succeed.

But if there are other career in demand abroad, I'm very sure there are a lot like me on here who would be keen on being enlightened.

PS : i have done a research on "career in demand abroad " on google. I keep seeing STEM everywhere.
But I'm convinced there's more to know.

Your opinions would be highly appreciated.

But it happened under Zuma, this issue has been going on for years now.

Sunofgod:
Weak ineffective leader.......your people have no respect for your words!

Imagine dis sht happening under Zuma?

Seriously, this is what is making front page now?

I disagree that there can only be resistance against illegal migration, there is already growing resistance against legal migration in Canada as liberal as they are and such changes have to be carried out over time and with sensitivity. Even legal migration has an impact on demographics etc and brings both good and bad so there will always be a threshold at which people will push back and that applies to black, Asian or white countries.

That’s part of the rise in right wing politics across Europe etc with people rightly or wrongly feeling that they are losing their identities end jobs etc to migrants. This has always been and will always be.

iaatmguy:
The fight for Ghanaians to be deported was because of their illegal migration, many a Nigerian going to Canada are going as documented, legal, permanent, migrants, which invariably and consequently makes them CITIZENS, There can only be resistance against illegal immigrants, do not be oblivious that after 1031 or so days of being in the country you can apply for citizenship. so no citizen is "bigger" than the other. CHEERS #youtoocanapply

.

The more the demographics change the more resistance from the people. Even us in Nigeria had our Ghana must go moment, any society will push back at some point including Canada.

DexterousOne:
Over the next two decades
The demographics will change even more drastically than it already has

Nothing wrong with that

.

Did you read the article at all or just jump on the it must be racism train?

To summarize for you they have increased their visa fees to match what the Nigerian embassy charges US citizens for Nigerian visa. If the Nigerian embassy can charge $180 why can't the US embassy? It is US govt policy to apply reciprocal visa fees and they raised this with the Nigerian govt nearly 2 years ago but nothing changed.

Lawancy:
White always prefer 2 milk d blacks

They are not charging what they like, they have matched what Nigeria is charging US citizens which means they were charging less than the Nigerian embassy in the US before this hike.

gypsey:
And that is why the Americans are charging whatever they like, they know that Nigerians will pay, regardless.

Like I mentioned in my first post, the chance of getting a job from Nigeria with a company who is able to sponsor you is very slim and requires having highly in demand skills that they cannot find locally.

The person cannot just offer you just any job, it needs to meet certain requirements of the type of skilled or managerial level jobs for a H1b work visa and also he needs to show he has looked locally and cannot find someone who can do the job. It's also expensive and requires lawyers so it's not just something he can do by offering you a low type job. Also there are only 65k work visas available each year, and the demand far outweighs supply and is dominated by the large IT type companies.

Another option is to get a job in Nigeria with a company that has offices in the US and after a while see if they will transfer you to the US office.

brume24:
tnx brus, I really appreciate your response. you said something that got to me which is the work option....how possible is it to secure a job from naija, do companies over there employ nigerians?...... the person wanting to help me go over there is actually helping me with a job offer but I really wanna know if my workshop certificate and few courses I've being certified on can land me a job in the engineering sector...

And Dangote is busy trying to buy Arsenal


To be fair, the fact he spends money on luxury doesn’t mean he doesn’t give to charity.

PhenomenalMorgan:
Bezos is busy buying more luxury items, Bill Gates is busy funding charity upon charity, two different men with different ideologies about how to spend their wealth...
Don't quote me oh, i never criticised any of them!!

You can only be sponsored by a relative and even that depending on the category can take a long time.

The quick alternative is via marriage so if you are this guy are more than friends and are in a relationship, marriage is an option.

Aside that is to get sponsored for a work visa which is very difficult from Nigeria.

Actually when you say he is willing to sponsor your trip is that via a visit visa to hussle? The options I listed above are for permanent residence.

brume24:
good day to everyone, I've being following the nairaland for quite some time now but I just registered some days back, I really need help on how to go about this American visa and migration process.....note I don't have a relation over there but ive got an American citizen who is ready to sponsor my trip and accommodation.
I'm 22yrs of age with a national diploma in accounting but later change career option to engineering(industrial marine engineering), which I learnt from a workshop practically for 3yrs not through school though, pls I really wanna know what my chances of migrating are.......I'm here to learn so I'll appreciate every 2cent from the nairaland family

Yes they were planning to go.

topysean247:
like they're making attempt to go there

If God blessed Nigeria, this talented doctor will be practicing in Nigeria with world class equipments rather than in the US. That way maybe our dear president can stay at home for treatment rather than travel to London Everytime.

Said by who? Left wing media with no proof?

genq:
Wrong.
Epstein's butler also mysteriously committed 'suicide' sometime back after he threatened to release a list of his boss's accomplices. Trump's name was said to be on that list.

Same way he was close to Clinton and many many other influential and powerful people so why specifically accuse Trump and ignore the others?

Really the age difference between Trump and Melania is the proof he slept with underage girls? I guess Macron who is married to his grandmother sleeps with Embryos in the womb.

realestniggah:
Have you seen how close he is with Trump? Are you this naive.. There is a saying that goes.. "show me your friends and I will tell you who you are"

Birds of the same feathers flock together.

Have you seen the age difference between Trump and Melania?
Do I need to say more?

Please stop being so one sided. He had links with many many rich people including Clinton so why focus on Trump alone? He and Trump fell out ages ago hence no recent photo of them. Just recently one of the girls he abused confirmed some Democratic Party party officials were involved yet all you can say is Trump Trump Trump, give it a rest.

Obviously some powerful people are involved in his death, but making such biased Liberal accusations only make it difficult to get to the bottom of it. I’m sure the Democrats will find a way to turn it into another Russia investigation while ignoring any way it implicates them.

My man Donald Trump had him killed

That man had too much files on Donald Trump

A man like this doesn't just commit suicide...

When you say he got an employment offer, you mean from Nigeria? If yes he should be careful of scams as if he is going on a work visa as you claim they cannot force a commitment to remain after he gets his permanent residence.

Also have they confirmed how they will get him a work permit?

keleto:
Hello seniors, a friend of mine just got Employment Contract from a canadian Employer through an agency. He would be going on a 2 yr visa(work permit)
But there is a statement included in the contract, .....................Can someone help to explain this.......


Please consider this job offer as a commitment

---

that you will be employed with us on a permanent full-time basis upon receiving your Permanent Resident Status

.

Does it mean he MUST still be with the employer even affter getting permanent residency?

Well stop looting

somehow:
UK and hypocrisy

They use looted money from Africa to better their country na.

Na their fault?

While I agree the liberals have done a lot of damage, I don't agree with labeling Boris as far right. This is a classic liberal tactic supported by the liberal media to label everyone against globalization or with opposing views as far right which is just not true. The other tactic is to claim racism, fascism, Nazism etc which shuts down discussion.

djon78:
The Donald Trump of Europe.
The far rights are taking over the reigns of leadership in the West

The liberals have done a lot of damages
Very good

Hahah the guy has cut his hair recently and lost weight, use his latest photos loool.

I do like Boris though despite his eccentricity.

hisexcellency34:
Congrats. UK now has Donald Trump as PM

You realize most of the young girls who’s lives he has destroyed are black right? I’ve been hearing these stories about R Kelly since my teenage years, Aaliyah etc so sorry karma has caught up with him.

GMbuharii:
Putting another brother down..

Those are very different circumstances and I think she should have planned her trip better rather than expect at night and expect the embassy to house her with no advance notice or agreement. I agree the Nigerian embassies abroad are nothing to write home about but in this situation she is in the wrong. Assange is a different circumstance as he was on asylum and that doesn't mean every Ecuadorian who goes to the embassy will be given a room to sleep.

Also let's assume you are right embassies should provide room to sleep, what if there was someone already in the room and she arrives without any confirmation? Should they kick the person there out for her?

gypsey:
Under Any circumstances, As long as you Are Genuine with whatever problems you are in.

She should explain that she could not Afford a hotel room for the night, for herself and her children. Simple. They are obligated to put her up or help pay for her Hotel, besides Embassies ussually have Rooms Upstairs to Accomodate their stranded Citizens.

How did you think the Ecuadorian Embassy Accomodated Julian Assange at their Embbassy in London for More than 5 years?

I agree. What was her plan given she arrived at night? Obviously she wasn't planning to sleep at the embassy.

ifyalways:
No Bed and Breakfast for €10 per night around?

The woman has no excuse for making the children sleep outside to prove a point.

I wouldn’t exactly call it low as it’s 189 v 183 countries that the SG/Japanese passports can enter visa free and they are most likely not countries the average American is interested in visiting. For the countries that matter all the top passports give access visa free eg one of the reason Japan jumped in the rankings is because Pakistan gave visa free access to them but not US and regional relationships also play a role here.

thesicilian:
Surprised to see the UK and USA in such a low position compared to the way they carry themselves.

It's interesting that everyone is angry at Trump for not letting them into the US illegally, but not angry at the leaders of the countries they come from. Can any of you name the Presidents of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras without googling their names? Why do they get a pass yet everyone blames Trump? You also know what Obama also blocked them coming in, I can find you videos of him saying DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THE BORDER, IT IS DANGEROUS AND THEY WILL BE SENT BACK.

While I sympathize, the fact is they were migrating to the US for economic reasons and the US asylum laws are not for economic reasons therefore they do not qualify. Everyone moving to the US is not the solution to the problems these countries face and the crisis at the Southern border is now so bad even people from Africa etc are now trying to use it to get in. This is similar to the way people were dying trying to cross the desert and sea to get to Europe.

Love Trump or hate him, it is not sustainable for that number of people to come through the borders, it is just not possible and you have Democrats using the situation to score political points and win votes. The same Democrats that claimed a few months ago that there was no crisis, suddenly there is a crisis but it Trump's fault, guess what even the President of El Salvador has admitted the fault is at home and they need to resolve this at home not push it to the US.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/01/world/americas/nayib-bukele-migrant-deaths.html

To me the solution to this lies with working with the government of these countries so people are not so desperate to flee but I am wary if this will work due to the corruption in these countries. The US already gives hundreds of millions n aid yet more and more people are fleeing.

The news articles in the US did not specify he is Nigerian, Nigerian bloggers bringing it to Nairaland called out the Nigeria angle.

Walahi....if it is something good they call him American born.

What does the home office secretary being Asian have to do with this?

I do hope she can sort it out as that’s where she grew up but the fact is her parents messed up. She claims she always though she was a British citizen yet she never applied for a passport until she was an adult which means she returned to the U.K. on a Nigerian passport. If they were so sure she was a British citizen as they claim why did she travel to the UK on a Nigerian passport and then wait over 20 years to apply for a UK passport.

The change in law that affected her was enacted during Thatcher days and says at least one parent must be a British citizen or permanent resident for the child to get citizenship pretty much ending birth right in the U.K

The fact she has lived there 30 years does not give her a right, but it should count towards humanitarian leniency.

jrusky:
Her lawyer will fight it out. It doesn't matter what any f u c k I n g home office are saying she has lived in UK for over 30 years, born there, school there etc so home office has no case. Or are they telling me 100 of thousands if not millions African, India, Pakistani etc that were born 20 years ago should all be deported Pls this is nonsense talk.

The home office secretary himself is from Asia so what does he has to say
