Thank you so much! My HSE work experience is 2years 7months. I share your sentiments about Alberta and the crude oil depression. No family ties or concrete job offers though but other factors we're considering are health care and cost of living, so Alberta seemed to check all those boxes for us, but now, we're trying to explore other provinces; Ontario and British Columbia. Another thing is that I've got some experience in chemical analyses as well, so I'm trying to tie all that in and look for places that may offer job opportunities in these areas. What do you advise? in esterella: |

bezimo: Hello, I'm ABD in the US now and my degree is in Environmental Science/Chemistry, with some Nigerian experience in HSE. I'm currently looking at job prospects, ways to improve myself (maybe certifications) and searching for best province to live based on job prospects. Everything seems to be pointing to Alberta but with this oil depression now, everything has changed. Any advice please? Thanks |

I've also been in the US studying since 2017; I lived in the UK for 2 years so I got both plus Naija own. Generally, I think PCC is needed if one has spent at least 6months (I stand to be corrected). For the Naija own, search for Inspector Moshood's contact here, get in touch with him and you'll get it done. If you have someone trustworthy back home that can do the legwork for you, it takes just an hour or so to get it. If there's no one to collect it for you, he may charge you extra and send the soft copy via whatsapp (those were the options he gave me when I did mine in February). For the UK own, the cic site provided links to all the countries showing how to get PCC for each. Click on the UK own; everything is done online and it isn't expensive. Get all the addresses where your husband stayed in the UK because he'll need to fill those in and that's it! Also, you didn't state how long your husband lived in the US and UK (if at all). PS: All the instructions are on the cic web page or page 1 of this thread. think toniauj: 2 Likes |

Hubby and I are also in the same shoes and was going to ask this. Neither of us have been able to do medicals yet because of corona wahala but we have every other thing but are unable to submit because neither of us has any document to upload for medicals. I'm the PA for ours', we plan to write and upload LOEs' in the dropbox for medical report. I'll watch out for other responses though, incase people have better suggestions on how to go about this.

Naija police report can be gotten via proxy. I don't live in Nigeria but my husband does; we used Inspector Moshood (last month) and within an hour, it was ready. Get someone who can do the leg work for you; you do not have to be on ground. They will send a soft copy of the fingerprint form to you; and you scan/send it back, after having fingerprinted and filled the necessary info.quote author=omidan21 post=88428235]Those that have ITA how do U plan on doing police report .

Education / Re: How To Achieve High Scores On The GRE by Ndawe(f): 5:54pm On Feb 10, 2019 |
It means that you have to apply on/before May 1st, to be considered for admission at all. I think they understand that some applicants may not have all their documents at the time of application, so if you have any outstanding documents that were not submitted when you applied,you have until Aug 1 to get it across to them before they can actually review your application. However, I would strongly advice that you get everything done as quickly as possible because applications are reviewed on a first come first serve basis. I'm not sure if I answered with what you needed. Feel free to let me know I didn't. Cheers ps: Which of the programs do you intend applying to? mtope: |

Hello, I believe Fall19 is already gone. But if you are considering fall 2020, check out Tennessee Technological University; it's a fairly safe school (look for their environmental sciences program). There's a PhD program in geosciences that just started last fall. Go through their website and you can email the contact person there with any questions. Ps: I am in a PhD program at Tech in the same dept but a different concentration. If you need any clarification you think I can help with, let me know. danfad: 1 Like |

Hey guys, so here's my travel/POE experience (so sorry for being about 2 weeks late on this; here goes): I was headed to Cookeville, TN and flew AirFrance on Sunday, 20th August. Getting through airport security/check in was not as crazy as before; the process for all that has really been streamlined. So I had 4 bags to check in; one of them was filled with foodstuffs (yeah I know, people kept asking me if I was running away. lol). I was mentally prepared for the million and one questions that may arise at the POE. Anyways, My family went with me to the airport and I'm grateful that they did because my carry-on bags had to be condensed sort of, so they took somethings back home. While that was going on, one of them went ahead to pay for my two extra check-in bags and after all that was done, I proceeded to the counter to have my bags weighed finally, tagged and taken away (ps I'd checked in online before then as well so I got to choose the seats I wanted). My route was Lagos-Paris-Atlanta-Nashville (there's no airport in Cookeville). So, after all that was done, I said goodbye to my peeps and proceeded for immigration checks and all. Now to boarding: my ticket was bumped up to business class (of course one doesn't ask why ). Time to board came and we did; took off at 11.50pm. Flight was extremely comfortable as I could recline my seat to assume the "bed" position alongside nothing short of excellent service (though I ate just once among the countless times we were offered food, drinks, champagne etc) and slept nearly all through the flight. We got to Paris on time and the layover for the flight to Atlanta was 4hours; which I spent window shopping and spraying tester perfumes We departed for Atlanta and arrived on schedule. The POE queue was out of this world as I spent roughly 3hours in the queue before it got to my turn. Finally, it got to my turn and I was attended to by an Asian CBP officer. The usual exchange of pleasantries took place and he asked me why I came to the US, where my home country was and asked to see my I20. He proceeded to ask me if I had any food items and I said yes; then he asked if I made that declaration on the landing card as well; yes and yes. So he asked me what food items I came with and I started mentioning (beans, garri, egusi, ogbono, dried okazi, fish etc...lol). Then we started chatting about different things, at that point all formalities were over. After a few laughs and an interesting discussion, I was escorted by one of the officers for agricultural declaration. Now, this took another 45mins because you have to await your turn. No hassles here really; the bags were just passed through the xray and that was it. All this while, time for my connecting flight (Delta) to Nashville was getting closer (I allowed for nearly 5hours between my landing time from Paris and the boarding for the domestic flight). Soooooo, this was done and I had to get to the counter with my stuff for check in. Note that I had 4 bags to check in and seems most domestic flights within the US try to discourage people from carrying so much check in bags. 1 check in bag is $25, the second one costs $35 and the price for each bag keeps increasing; so I was gonna pay about $200 again for my load This was where favour came in. I was attended to by a nice Asian (again) lady and she was shocked that I had so many bags. Long story short, she was able to tie in my bags to my extra luggage fees from Naija (even though they were separate bookings) and I didn't pay a dime. She adviced me not to have so many check in bags when flying domestic in the States because it's really expensive. So, all my four bags went in FREE OF CHARGE!!!!!!!!! So I got to the departure gate and we took off 15mins behind schedule and again, I slept mostly as I was so exhausted and jet lagged again. Got to Nashville, got my stuffs and my one and only brother Oludare01 came to get me from the airport. He's my day1 niqqa Oludare01 is just So, that is the end of my story. 28 Likes 1 Share |

Time2Smile:If possible, have the money transferred to your account/card you'll use to book and let it be yours to avoid stories that touch. I recently did my own US domestic flight booking with my GT Naira Mastercard, As part of the booking process, you will be informed that you won't be allowed to check in if you don't have the card that was used to book. So I'd advice you have the money transferred to the card/account you're gonna use to travel. You can go with the card na, even if you don't need it over there. 1 Like |
