Please is it a must to blend your ogbono and egusi when bringing in? A "dry spice" blender or "dry blender" will blend them for you. You'd need to buy one |

BiafranDel: I thought a masters degree is mandatory to be eligible? Does the other certificates get the same points as a masters degree? How do I research about the particular certificate that would fit my profile better. Also, please does the 3 years working experience need to be a professional job that is as well related to one’s undergraduate course of study? Check out this computer science certificate they call BCS certificate you can get in less than 6 months. Or an online certificate from University of Toronto or Ryerson, etc. They all have certificate courses in their schools of continuing studies. Can be completed in less than a year for some. And no, you can also use 1 years nysc. The job doesn't even have to be related in any sense to your undergraduate degree. 1 Like |

Many graduates coming from Nigeria usually underestimate the amount of work it takes to do graduate school in developed countries like Canada and the US. Contrary to what most people think, graduate school in these countries is actually very difficult. Usually there is a lot of assignments and homeworks, and this is not something the Nigerian student is used to. Besides, most of the concepts are not discussed at a high-level, but usually a more detailed often difficult low-level filled with maths (for STEM) or lots of readings (for Management). This can be a very big problem for the Nigerian student who isn't used to this method of study. But the good news is that if you do not give up, you will succeed. It may appear difficult, but if you put in the required effort, ask for help from your professors or from fellow students, you will eventually understand. My advice to you is to dig deep within you and find that extra effort to succeed. Don't give up. Having a kid is not an excuse. There have been many people like you who made it eventually through graduate school. You just need to tell yourself that you can do it. I agree. I was humbled when I started graduate school here.

Yes thank you. I just need to know if there wont be any problems at the airport There won't be problems. But the advantage of blending is that it will take up less space both in your bag, and in your tiny Canadian kitchen. 1 Like 1 Share |

If you're ever going to quarantine, it has to be in school. UoR made it compulsory, so book with hospitality service to pay on arrival, if need be. Safe journey down here.. Cheers Toluchenko: Hello everyone. I am new to this thread. I "ported" from the Canada Study Visa Thread. I need some clarifications on this quarantine parole.
I recently got my application for study visa approved (Fall 2021; University of Regina, Saskatchewan). I have been able to link up with family friends that stay around my school, so I plan to stay with them for some months till I settle fully and find my apartment.
Now, I have been fully vaccinated and I recently heard that fully vaccinated individuals will still have to show their quarantine plans in case they are not exempted (from quarantine) by the officials at the Point of Entry.
My questions;
1) Will my Family friends' house be a suitable place for quarantine?
2) If No to (1), what if I get a quarantine apartment and I eventually get exempted from quarantine at the Point of Entry. Hope getting a refund would not be difficult?
3) Please, can someone put me through the process getting an apartment for the 14 days quarantine.
Thank you..

My little gist. Before I left Nigeria to Canada, I had been having occasional tooth ache. However, even before the thoughts of travelling came into my head, I had always promised myself that I will do my dental surgery whenever I travel abroad. I reach the 'abroad', settle down small, I kon start my dental journey. ![shocked](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/shocked.gif) So last week I started using my dental insurance. I went for X-ray, general cleaning and scaling. The doctor told me that the reason for my tooth ache is impacted wisdom tooth. Also, the x-ray discovered 3 cavities in my teeth. Another appointment was fixed. This week, on Monday, I went for the appointment and I had my cavities filled and my teeth whitened. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) lols. Anyways, I was referred to a Consultant regarding my wisdom tooth removal and I was told the consultancy fee will be $165 CAD. Appointment was fixed for today, Friday. Na so I carry myself and my teeth go the dental clinic. I filled some forms and waited for the doctor. The doctor came in, checked my teeth and gave me my bombshell, gbagaun! You'll be removing 4 wisdom tooth! How many tooth go kon remain for my tiny mouth laidis! The doctor didn't spend 10 minutes with me and my $165CAD consultancy fee finished. Just laidat. I for consult google, mtchew ![tongue](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/tongue.png) . I kon gather liver ask am say when will the removal be done. He said you'll be given the quotation by the nurse/receptionist. Okay o. Tankq. I go see the receptionist and she gave me another bombshell. She printed my quotation and i had to adjust my imaginary glasses ![wink](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/wink.png) when i saw $3800CAD. She said so when do you want me to fix your appointment. I said, padin! ![undecided](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/undecided.png) . I respected myself and told her to give me the hospital info card, that i'll will call to book appointment whenever i'm ready. Presently, I am soaking my toothes in the blood of Jesus. Wherever you are presently, help a sister. Extend your mouth of prayer to my toothes. ![kiss](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/kiss.gif) . Abi make i cum nigeria kon do am ni ![](/faces/huh.png) . Flight go and come = $2000; Toothes removal = let's say $500CAD. Now, confuse is confusing me. Any better advise? ![tongue](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/tongue.png) 33 Likes 3 Shares |
