But showing ability to pay for your studies is one of the requirements do student visa, so what happened to all the millions shown?

People will be doing themselves thinking they are tricking Canada, now who is depressed?
Or he thought once he lands there’ll be money on the roads. Mstheewwwww!

Oskydaniellyyy:


Nigerians are hypocrites. When they are showing tens of millions of naira in the account to apply for the visa.

That is why the rejection rate is so high to the extent that the Canada visa process of study permit in Nigeria is very uncertain . US, new Zealand, UK ,Ireland and Australia schools are more expensive than Canada .

Look for cheaper schools in Canada to apply to and go to free tuition schools in Europe.

When Canada denied me, I just shift my attention to scadinavians. The visa and admission are very easier compare to Canada, life is also more relax there.

This depression is getting too much for international students from Africa.

My God help us.
Pls list European countries that are tuition free for masters and their migration policy (as per do they grant post study visa)

The reality is the gap in socioeconomic status btw developed n emerging economies has narrowed recently.....
Therefore, the euphoria of living abroad has lost the fantasy n taste it formerly enjoyed....
Nowadays u can choose to live in naija n still enjoy the life n comfort any developed country has to offer, so long u making good money....
It's very much possible for someone who grew up in a middle class family in naija to regret relocating abroad if the new country doesn't meet his/her expectation....
It's also possible for your standard of living to drop if u end up working low income job overseas....
People relocating should really sit down n know exactly what to expect, b4 embarking on the journey lest it turn to regret.....

The days of travelling out just because u want to elevate your social status is gone.....
Travelling abroad needs careful n structured planning if u have to succeed....


The situation wasn't much different in the 90s for african migrants.....
It wasn't like they had it easier or climbed the economy ladder faster....
but the quality of life n standard of living btw developed n 3rd world countries was just too wide n non-comparable in any way, that returning home was never an option for those migrants....
Rather they accepted their fate n worked hard, so their kids can benefit from their sacrifice....
And for most, it did pay off.....

Most recent migrants already have bread, butter, tea n egg for breakfast.....
they just hoping by travelling out, they could get some mushroom, toast, n bacon to make a complete breakfast....
When it turns out that the ones they fomerly enjoy is taken off the table....
Their case becomes like that of the op.....

Also immigration rules are getting tighter

It is not oh. Things have changed. The rise of the Asian tigers plus China is sucking out money plus jobs from developed countries. That's why Trump is shouting grin lol.

The only way to 'enjoy' abroad if you are not from a rich family now is to go to free tuition countries and study or get PR.

not ti mention that the poverty rates are much worse in many African countries today than they were sometime back.

it's only a thin section of the society that improved their standard of living

for the vast majority
their lives are worse
