Apologies just saw that you mention a budget of 6m, hmmm that is a tight one in today's market. Hmmm, tHE 2013 accord isn't a bad choice, Nigeria used, do the v6. Cheers and all the best.

Is there a reason you recommended the V6 version?

Pamper yourself a little, get a Lexus RX350 2013

i am not a Toyota fan at all , tho the lexus brand is a great one but Honda and Volkswagen have killed any little love i may dash toyota

nurey:
If you use the civic to ply the bad roads and it triumph I don't see why the Accord won't do well there also. But you can go for a CRV just to have more ground clearance with a bit of fuel economy

Thanks for your response , I just don’t like the CRV it’s too bland especially the interior and the sound system

If you want to sell your Civic, I might be interested.

Are you in lagos ?

Good afternoon Sir, please I want to ask in regards to Masters in the UK especially Essex or Canterbury church university.. I'll love to do a masters degree in Education since i studied biology education in B.ed level. Please throw more light and education me on how to go about it

Okay first things first

Aside your first degree which was in education do you have field experience in education?

What’s your end goal ? Be in the education service chain ?
Be a subject teacher ?
If you’ve answered all of that . The next point is your budget . How much are you willing to commit at a go without calculating the possibility of getting student jobs in the uk .

If your total payment budget is less than 10,000 I’ll say avoid CCCU , CCCU is a great public university but payment policy is strict and if you don’t enrol you will be out of status on your visa .

You can consider other options that offer more flexibility like Glasgow Caledonian University , Scotland
University of South wales
University of the west of England , Bristol
University of Salford
Ulster university , Belfast etc

Hi Auto gurus , this is a great thread

I need an upgrade , tho I sometimes drive on bad roads but I mostly drive on fairly good roads. I am considering the accord 2013 but at the same time I'm worried about ground clearance. Please recommend any good upgrade not more than 6m. Use a Pilot 07 and civic 07 at the moment

BossFingy:
Why not just answer the question he clearly asked there.., 😑

Canterbury christ church University is 5000 GBP deposit, the balance is two equal installments, installment 1 is payable on enrollment and second tranche is payable at the second term

Lance008:
Please can your age lead to refusal to diploma to Canada

many factors can lead to a refusal because of age

1. career progression
2. relevance of the previous program
3. If applicant is old and has only High school certificate and now applying for a diploma after 20 years of leaving high school , why did you suddenly decide to go back to school , what have you been doing since

ibcircuit:
Only a deposit will not do.

Conestoga is on a hot seat presently as the school with the largest enrollment and additionally, the same school is witnessing a huge number of withdrawals and asylum applications, PAL is now very competitive and for them to stay in business they have to give PAL to students who will likely continue school when they arrive in Canada, Many people abandoned their 1500CAD deposit and moved on when they landed in Canada

Hoelujohn:
Please house, has anyone gotten PAL from Conestoga?

if you are asking for MAY 2024 intake , Conestoga won't issue any PALs for may , so defer your admission to September and wait for the PAL to be issued , also you need to have paid up your complete first semester fees by your due date

How long does a typical sputum test before one can get the result?

Klazy:
Please let us discuss Masters in research and visa application with dependants.

Yes, you can go with dependants if you're studying a MRes ( masters research ) PhD ( Doctorate ) program.

many schools offer MRes programs in the United Kingdom.

the first step in applying for a research program at masters level is to identify your area of research and then send your research proposal to the faculty for approval and you can now submit your application to the school wth a copy of the supervisor's consent

cashmyles:
Good morning everyone!! Please, who have an idea about how much the deposit fees for Essex university and also, please who know some information about Canterbury Christ church university, I couldn't get much information online about the uni

.

If you don't mind we are accredited partners with Essex university and also Canterbury christ church university . you can ask your questions here and I'll respond

Tinafusty:
I am talking from experience,after three denials from us visa,i got my uk student visa under three working days, they don't run any background check as far as your finances are ok

smiles, you sure don't know so much about visas and immigration. the fact that you have your UK visa already does not mean they won't mail you after a year bringing fresh pieces of evidence to you. if you can't stand it, don't do anything unlawful. Yes i know there are universities in the UK that won't even offer you admission if you have been previously denied but there are hundreds of other schools who will just require you to come out clean about your refusals.

Tinafusty:
The best thing is don't mention it at all,
If u are asked have you been denied visa in any other country,u say no

If the applicant's visa gets denied by the UKVI for any reason and he goes back to school for his tuition refund, he won't get a penny back because there would be deception in the reasons the visa was denied.

don't hide any previous refusal from any country either to school or to the embassy. Refusal is not a curse or a lien placed on people. You can do everything right and still get refused a visa , you have the privilege of trying again if you feel the visa officer's decision wasn't accurate.

How much is it please

Is it still available

spicyuzo:
Greetings everyone,
I'm curious...
If I top-up my POF a few days before my student visa appointment just to make up for the rates, will this affect my application?
Do I need to wait the extra 28-30 days circle again?

The requirement is that the funds in your account must not be Lower than the daily OANDA rate at any time within the 28 days so if your top-up is a preventive measure then you are fine but if it's corrective then you have to resume counting all over again

@dduchess90 @justwise

You can check flights on

Please chief, I'd like to know, what's really the implication of students working for more than 20hrs a week. I've heard of many that worked more than the 20hrs threshold and still got their 2 years postgraduate visa.

You are going against the rules of your visa and if luck runs against you, you will be punished
i have seen people whose PSW got rejected for working more than 20 hours. Please play by the rules and learn that not everything should come to social media. some things are better left unsaid

Pennyseo2:
Which job? I can boldly hit my chest and say over 80% that came in last September has not gotten job till this January. Jobs are scarce now.... Let's stop creating this false impression.
The few I know that got.. Had to travel 3 hours going n 3 hours coming just to work less than 20hours per week n it's only when they are called.

Is it the care job that now ask for 6 months experience? Or the warehouse that don't accept students. Or the indeed that u keep getting unfortunately we have proceeded to the next stage.
We only hear the few positive side and never got to hear the numerous tears, pain and anguesh of numerous people that Japa until you find yourself here before you start knowing the plain truth

How did you come up with your over 80% statistics ?

fastseo:
Well I don't know much about stocks and it's laws in the UK.
But I will tell him boldly to work menial jobs like cleaning, care assistant , security, etc more than 20 hours if he sees..

You know this is not right, I quite know it's so difficult here in the uk , but working more than your allowed hours is a recipe for disaster and trust me it's only a matter of time before it lands you in trouble . Please be careful of advices you throw out in the public space. I know people who are presently facing immigration panel for breaching their visa terms

Mindlog:
Do everything within your means to switch to skilled worker visa before your visa expires. Someone who was in a situation similar to yours had push to get sponsored skilled worker visa as her BRP was to expire Jan. 30th 2023 and she was resubmitting her dissertation in May, 2023. She switched as her Uni said they can't facilitate her student visa extension, she submitted her dissertation in May, passed and graduated July 2023 while on Tier 2 visa.

if you failed modules of your programme you will have to resit , and the school will update your CAS for you to apply for extension
but if your dissertation was rejected you wont get extension for dissertation resubmission because you can do that from anywhere in the world

I have a few tips for the students preparing to come to the UK in 2024

The UK is still one of the best in that it offers a soft landing especially because of the weather and student jobs ( care and warehouse jobs ) but here are a few things to note
1. Don't just search for a school with the lowest Deposit, there's so much more to FINANCE especially on an MSc/MBA course in the UK than the deposit. Search for a school with a flexible payment plan. Make sure you can comfortably pay your enrolment dues when your school resumes.

2. Please plan for Accommodation, there are many students here stranded because they thought they would find a friend or family somewhere to put up with. Book Airbnb at least for a month

3. Have backup funds cos you may get a job in one week and you may also spend the next 90 days searching for your first job

4. Prepare for the Programme itself, Don't just focus on the japa, Plan for the master's or MBA program you're coming for.

5. Prepare for culture shocks and Try to delete some Nigerian mentalities

6. Start Planning your next move from the day you get your student visa approved, if you wait till the end of your MSc to plan your next move then it will be too late.

Happy New Year to everyone. I wish us all a glorious year ahead!

I intend using my GT Bank Dom account for my pof, what advice would you give? Thanks.

@dduchess90

Yes you can use a domiciliary account for your proof of funds , make sure you calculate the conversion from GBP- USD properly if you would be using USD.

Biola67:
Dey play.. as far as you’re submitting your application this year. Izz gone

No, Sir, It's clearly stated on the gov.UK website. the requirement for getting a student-dependant visa for MSc courses is that your course must have started before January 1, 2024. So if your course start date was any date last year 2023, your dependants can still join you so long you haven't completed your masters. Even after January 1st 2024, dependants can still join you on MRes and PhD programmes
