Santa2: Exactly. Man proposes, God disposes. Few days ago, I caught up with my coursemate from over 10yrs ago in a Russell Group uni and we were discussing escalation of tuition fees. In 2010, middle class families could plan with 5 or 6m /annum to send their kids abroad. Now same undergraduate degree is about 60M per annum!!! Which kind of planning do you want to do to afford that dream now? It means only politicians or extremely wealthy people can sponsor their children abroad. It’s totally crazy. Not to mention those caught in the crosshairs of £1/2000+ from £1/500+ CBN rate two years ago. 2 Likes |

profemebee: Yes he left, he actually became an overstayer before he left while trying to secure another sponsorship. Luckily he had canadian PR from 2 years prior but he felt he was already established here so he wasnt going to move to canada, He always joked about how london was just 6 hours flight from Lagos as against Toronto. |

It's about 774 questions in total. 2. Then attempt the mock test consistently till you sore 48 to 50 at each trial. 3. Practice the hazard perception test. Best of Luck!!! 4 Likes 6 Shares |

Goodenoch: Nigerian government that is not able to cater for his citizen is the one you are in support for camping and feeding other country. Also how much is visa fee for Americans compare to what we pay here. All i'm saying his we should be entitle to public funds. Maybe not during 1 year of study but as soon as you on graduate visa you should have the right. |

lavida001: 1. Lmao. That wasn't the point and it's kind of sad that you missed it, especially in light of my last statement in that post. Anyway, the UK is also having issues catering for all its citizens, which is something some here (the "the UK cannot do without us" cadre) never cease to highlight when the company reports recession, slow growth or when the education industry is suffering. 2. A lot more than what you pay in the UK. I don't know the fees individual workers pay because I only worked with sponsoring companies but I know that expatriate permits used to cost 2,000 USD per year, apart from all the other fees. Now it has been increased to $15,000 (£12,000) annually for a director and $10,000 for other employees. And there's no healthcare included obviously, lol. 3.In what other country would you be entitled to public funds like citizens one year after your arrival in the country as a student on a non-immigrant visa? Anyway, you can always start a petition and if it gains enough signatures, parliament will be mandated by law to discuss it. Unlike certain other countries. 5 Likes |

Zahra29: Estimates are estimates... not data points and multiple estimates by government bodies based on concrete data have been well off the mark recently (inflation rate, housing crash, BOE rate rise e.t.c). This is even worse off given that it's driven by a political narrative and flies in the face of reality. Years back, we heard stories of how visitors were bankrupting the NHS and estimates of huge sums that could be saved which forced many Trusts (against common sense) to set up a desk for this purpose. Within a few months it became evident that whatever money being saved couldn't even pay for the person manning the desk. With Brexit, we heard estimates of how the UK would be awash with cash. Hehe... Even core data points need alot of work to interpret more so estimates which are politically driven. It's good you paint a picture of some married masters students struggling to meet up. So you really think such a family would have an adult member who can work sitting at home all day when their stay is on the brink due to low funds? Why did many masters students come with their spouse in the first place? Lastly, the word dependent is not just limited to international students 5 Likes 1 Share |

Santa2: Interesting tale. But sha, in my opinion, property purchase should be done when one has a solid foothold in the country (permanent residence at least). Na so those long-time Indians at Facebook and Google had to sell their properties after being laid off by those companies. 2 Likes |

Gerrard59: The point here is that except children start being made and parented in labs, they hardly get to choose at least not in the way they hope to. With the care sector post-Brexit, the choice for the UK was either to ratchet up taxes and device ways for Boomers to give back their wealth to pay for British care or look for cheap labour abroad. The choice was hurriedly the later. The end result is now causing moans. Many western nations are sitting on a demographic landmine which is becoming more obvious as years role by. Due to this, Germany opened its doors to millions of refuges. Canada only recently streamlined the pathway for many folks. The only nation that has largely stuck to its guns is Japan and even they are now increasingly looking out. Yes, they all rightly want to preselect those who come. There are thousands of Africans naturalized in the UK. I wonder how many came via a lottery or 'diversity visa'. We are largely here cos someone sat and illustrated to the government that the UK would benefit more from us being in than being out hence whatever visa pathway we used. 4 Likes |

jedisco: In the future, countries will have to make do with whatever population they have as the need to constantly increase the population isn't sustainable as birth rates plunge across countries of varying development levels. Apart from Africa and South Asia, most countries have TFRs below 2.1. 2 Likes 1 Share |
