Nuendo: Good day to the wonderful people of this house. Most people wont know me here. I was part of the successful applicants in Part 4 of this forum. Calgary has been wonderful ( and very cold too) and I am graduating in a few months with my Master of Architecture Degree by the special grace of God. I want to use this medium to thank those who put in time and effort to keep this forum very active. Some of the forefathers I met seldom participate anymore.However, guys like Oga Siga and Oga Justwise are still here. I hail Sirs!! , Still very grateful and remain loyal to your government.
For those who are still hopeful or just about to apply, I want to encourage you all to have faith and follow the process with a clear and genuine motive. We have no idea the amount of help we get from .
Best regards & Happy New Month.

Some of the forefathers I met seldom participate anymore.However, guys like Oga Siga and Oga Justwise are still here. I hail Sirs!! , Still very grateful and remain loyal to your government.
For those who are still hopeful or just about to apply, I want to encourage you all to have faith and follow the process with a clear and genuine motive. We have no idea the amount of help we get from here and the millions we have all collectively saved by going through this forum. I personally have directed about 4 people who have all been successful since I got mine and this is usually my first point of reference whenever I am guiding them.
Lastly, I usually end with a piece of advice or two based on personal experience and how Nigerians can make the most of their stay here. I do this because my schedule is unforgiving and I don't know when I would be free to post again.
1. KNOW YOUR PRIORITIES
Most of us coming here actually are in search of better opportunities in life and career especially as things are so tight back home and I a can speculate that bout 80% of applicants are doing this via the academic route which is a good thing. Those whoa are here are already aware of how the system here can be to your immense advantage or can squeeze the hell outta you mentally and physically. My ultimate advice is that we never forget the major reason for coming here in the first place. As much as money is important, and hustling etc, make sure your academics does not suffocate because you want to make some extra $$$. From experience, I can say, sometimes its better to maintain the lowest budget possible, work only if you have to and when you have the free time available and invest time and create a strong academic reputation for yourself in school. It would get you very far.... Take note, the work I refer to here doesn't include summer jobs but the kinda jobs that eat deep into your academics. See it this way : You may spend all the time hustling and raking up money (which in my opinion doesn't even come close to what you would earn at a very good place after graduation) and fail to perform strongly which immediately places you in a tight angle post graduation. You are already black and African, you cannot add a bad academic standing to that. Pick a struggle...
2. KILL PART OF THAT NAIJA MENTALITY
We must avoid approaching Canada with our Naija mentality - That there is no connection between academic success and success in the market. Connections and all still exist here to a certain degree but largely, this is a merit based system and things like references can take you to places you never could penetrate. Canada unlike most other countries, isn't bad in terms of Racism but you must remember that your nationality and skin color and even accent puts you somewhat at the base of the ladder. This is a bitter truth. So expect prejudice and stereotyping but always respond with excellence. The element of surprise is your most potent weapon. As a personal example: I got an offer from a top architectural firm that wasn't actually hiring to the bewilderment of my Canadian coursemates who still find it hard to believe that a 3rd world country graduate can outperform them. That was in my first year and the job still dey fridge till now. No CV, NO application, No Resume, Just recommendation. Another example is that the current President of the Royal Architects Insititue of Canada is Nigerian. Samuel Óghale Oboh, Full born and bred in Naija who made it through excellence and I actually benefit from his reputation even without my knowing him personally. So my people, excellence is a superior advantage here.....Try to make use of it.
3. MY PEOPLE, MIX UP!!!! ABEG....... This is very important as the way the Canadians would react to you would be based largely on how timid or interesting you are and believe me, it helps in many ways from help with several aspects of your settling in, to academic assistance and tips about job offers and financial aid. Alo the prejudice factor reduces with an increase in interaction with the. face it, you are in their country. Learn their culture (without loosing sight of yours) learn about their cities, people and even start training yourself to speak English properly, in other words, learn the proper phonetics. (I cant believe I am saying this ). Trust me, there is nothing more mentally demoralizing than having someone ask you to repeat yourself over and over again. If you observe closely, this can spell the difference between them liking you and them not wanting to have a discussion with you both in school and subsequently at work. Its not fakeness, its called "blending in". This doesn't mean you should form whenever you see your fellow naija man. In fact at the slightest opportunity to switch to pidgin or naija accent, pls do to keep our culture alive. NB: I only realized this much later. I wish I started early.
4. KEEP EYE FOR GROUND
Well a lot of us have been conditioned by the Nigerian system that we don't believe that the world can be a good place and sincere people still exist. There are tons of opportunities just there for grabs in form of awards, financial aids and scholarships. Even programs and community initiatives that can go a long way for you. This connects to point no.2 in certain ways but also its not all academic. Participation also goes a very long way. try to seize the opportunity this system offers you and grab whatever is within reach. I depends on where you are but largely, don't expect people to tell you about it. They might not know that you don't know. SO ask questions, and always been on the look out for things like this. Also this is another aspect I wish I took more advantage of. I say this personally because I benefited and actually spent 4 months living and studying in Barcelona, Spain and traveling to over 12 cities in Europe as a recipient of a travel scholarship. So yes, another man's country can give you free money and opportunities your own country couldn't give you. Life isn't as bad as we were made to believe.
5. OPEN YOUR MIND...but don't loose it.
This is probably the most sensitive point and is so because of where we are from and the cultural and societal values on certain things.
a) First aspect I would hammer on is Religion. Well am sure one of the first things that would shock you here is the percentage of atheists here which may range from 40% in the older generation to about 85% in the current age distribution of 16-35 years. You would also encounter several other types of people who believe in things that would challenge the very foundations of your own faith. Please once you land here, instead of dragging with them, getting overly animated and or even condemning them to hell fire ( or wherever) , try and keep your views to yourself but never be ashamed or intimidated into not speaking about it when you feel like. Also take it easy - for those who bind and cast demons or see things other people cant see ( I say this with no intention to mock). But try to understand one thing, most of them don't care and its most likely that the powers, principalities and demons are actually based in Naija where the wickedness and evil is in exponential proportions compared to here. . You would make yourself look seemingly violent when you carry the matter for head. I think this info is clear enough.
b) Sexuality with special emphasis on Homosexuality and gay rights. Please, please and please, Learn to approach the matter with wisdom and tolerance in mind. You would encounter several individuals who are openly gay and they may have the best of personalities. As much as possible, try to keep your personal views to yourself and learn to interact without being judgmental towards them because they would notice immediately. I personally strongly disapprove of the ideology or way of life but I have several friends who happen to be gay now. I have learned that its their choice and the personality and character of the person has no connection to how they choose to love their lives. Hence I don leave the mata for Baba God to gauge the case himself. Its my job to love my neighbor without trying play God. NB: This doesnt mean in any way that I have accepted that way of life as I still feel free to discuss/debate (not be angry or unnecessarily vexed) my own take on the issue.
I hope I have helped one or two people who are about to make the switch to this part of the world. I tried my best to drop as much as I can because such first-hand information is hard to come by in one cohesive piece and I really wish I knew such prior to my coming.
Its a beautiful country here and my prayer and ambition is that one day people would create huge forums and discussion groups about how to move over to Nigeria. Good luck to all the expectant applicants, may your TRV come unobstructed by the special grace of God.
Best regards & Happy New Month.

Also, you need home-tie, which is a land docu or shares or properties in your name and not only those of your sponsors. I wish you the very best. |

When was that sir ? Remember that the Devaluation on Naira by nearly 35 % over the years is also an important factor. Although the LORD grants favour to whom HE will even with a seemingly imperfect application. So there is no crime in trying if that is the very best the OP can come up with for now. A co-sponsor is not a bad idea if he can get one. Good packaging can never be too much. toecyne:
Ooshey Visa officer, i used abt 5 million naira as sponsor's SOA, nd my application was successful |

"....said agent is quite a major player in the canadian eductational system for years " so says who ?? Just dont be lazy. That is the only requirement. You are in the right forum. Read back from from this page to "travelling-canada-part-5" and you will be a better a agent in your own interest. Go to CIC site, its claerly stated that agent contribute nothing to the outcome ! Pyroxene: Thanks a lot that was very clear! I got admission to niagra tru an academic agent. I was not hinted on future charges. I am just discovering they charges for visa app which was diff from admission processing fee is too outrageous. My question is can I ditch d academic agent and go abt d processing mysel? Hope it won't work against me as d said agent is quite a major player in the canadian eductational system for years |

this one you dey talk "YOU" stop am o...they only write that so the world body against discriminaton of carriers wont be on their necks. i dont think they would admit someone who is a threat to other citizen. besides i cant see whee it is written that HIV is not among tests carried out on CIC website presidentpikin: check CIC website for inadmissibility based on medical..... HIV is not among the test carried out on students but a disclosure is needed if you are positive. |

Aedeha, if you stated that you are currently working, you should add your statement of acct even if it is 2naira balance that you have in it, add your letter of offer as a graduate intern, and get payslips from the company. Also get a letter from the company to introduce you to the High commission of Canada, and if you can get a leave letter that will show that the company is ready to take you back when you return. Also, if you have and land doc or shares, you can add it. If you cannot get any of this document, you can write a good Statement of purpose stating why you do not have the document. Also note that if the course you are going for is different from what you did in undergrad and or your current employment status, you will have to state in your statement of purpose why you want to dump all you have done in the past for a diploma in a different field.
I hope this helps. All d best in your next application Thanks for this useful tips bro! remain blessed! |
