shinarambo1:It's a lie! I know of 2 of my friends who got their jobs permit visa while in Nigeria. They actually got a job in Canada from here before they left. One of my cousins just left for Canada through same means in May. He was working with one of the old generation banks before he left. If the Canadian companies need your service, they'll hire you wherever you are in the world, provided your background suits the position you're applying for. 5 Likes |

BiafraBushBoy:No objection bro, you've said it all. I was wondering why nobody had ever mentioned Germany as one of the promising destinations for students. I can count at least 3 of my brother's friends who studied and stayed back there with sound jobs. The entire EU, including UK depends on Germany for technological and manpower development. Jobs are looking for people there. 2 guys among the aforementioned were on scholarships throughout their schooling in GmbH, which their Univ gave them. 3 Likes |

Obiwannn:Yea, but you can learn their language in 3 months. It's not difficult if you're serious with it. There are also a lot of universities there that run programmes taught in English. If I was given 2 options...to school either in the uk where I won't be guaranteed job after my programme, even if I stayed forever OR to school in Germany where I'd only spend 3 months of my time learning their language which isn't difficult at all... and allowed to stay forever with good job, even marry one of their beautiful tall girls, I think I'd prefer Germany. Amazingly, their tuition isn't as crazy as that of UK or elsewhere and they will allow you to work while schooling. I had my MBA in Frankfurt and if I had wanted to stay, I'd have done just that. 3 Likes 1 Share |

bikat: I'm not married. Money wouldn't be a problem. I'm in my mid 20's should be 28 when I'm ready for the move. My grades also should be very good. The only problem is work experience. I have only six months experience done in Nigeria (intenship) and 5 months experience working here in automobile industry. My field is Process Engineering.. So you see the problem is experience.

awelekiti: Lol. Stimmt. Ich weiß. Deutsch ist nicht so shwer...but you first have to learn how to communicate before learning the German terms or vocab required to work in your specific Field or industry. Of course you cannot place UK and Germany in same sentence as regards immigration policies... True the girls are beaitiful, fit and tall but how many go gree date you? True you can make millions (Naira) whilst in Germany as a student, the only places that rival Germany in this regard are maybe Swiss or Aussie.. And since you didnt stay, where are you now?

shinarambo1: I disagree with you to some extent bro, I know Nigerians without Msc who have very good jobs and are earning good pay. I have just a post graduate certificate and a couple of licenses and I have a good job. Canadian companies are more concerned about you possessing the skill and not your qualification so even an ordinary diploma can get you a good job. All the same I think if one can afford an Msc, it's very good but if not, run a post graduate diploma then fall into the labour market. 3 Likes |

shoggie: Well, 'quality' and 'standard' are subjective ascriptions, so they can hardly be measured statistically... I only offered my subjective opinion. Part of what I do on the side involves working directly with random students of random universities in the UK and USA, and more importantly, engaging with the course modules and coursework assigned to students in both countries. Therefore, my opinion is based strictly on my personal experience as someone who has had the opportunity to make assessments of the comparative academic rigour/standard that I've encountered. I'm excluding the Ivy League schools in the US and Oxbridge schools in the UK (because I've not done any work with students in those schools so far) and basing my opinion on the 'regular' universities in both countries. 3 Likes |

@ the bolded, the minimum number of years that gives you the opportunity for Permanent residency in the UK as a foreigner is 10 years and in some cases 20 years. Where was it you saw 7 years ? The new law is even more strict and the minimum duration could have gone up more by now. Pedagogue: |

Ikennali01:i never mentioned anything bout getting goods job or not with msc in canada. This topic is not a canadian diploma vs certificate vs msc thread. But still at that, someone with an msc or phd stands a better chance on the express entry system than someone with a pg dip or cert. Its a point based system. Yes. An ordinary diploma can get you a good job. The way things work in canada is somehow different from the rest of the world. Where I work, alot of powerline technicians make more money than our engineers or technologist. Starting wages before tax. Journeyman PLT: $100k. Technologist: $78k Engineers: $98k I havent seen my company hire a pgcert or pgdip. If they do, they would likely employ based on your degree. Pddip or pgcert is not common in western canada. I think it's an ontario thing. 1 Like |
