saucepan: My Uncle finished studying pharmacy in the US in the late 60s/ early 70s he didnt have enough money to come back when immigration caught him for overstaying, he said he just threw his hands up and told them to send him back home, baba was so confident of where he is coming back to, if that happens today, immigration will never smell where he's at.

Canadianfly: Mama look at how I made it! Folks be checking me out...hahahaha! So you don do research conclude sey I dey Australia? Hahahaha! I am famous y'all! On the real though, I could be in any part of the world for all we know; who says I am not in Canada? Again, it's a faceless forum. Location however, is quite inconsequential here as it does little to tell you why a person may or may not be interested in a topic/s or thread/s. Yes, I have a massive issue with people being mean-spirited and disrespectful and I will say something whenever I feel it's the case; if that makes me Voltron, so be it. That is a title I will wear with pride. I have always wanted to be an Avenger (the Marvel ones oh abeg) sef so I am in mighty fine company. I would much rather be tagged a defender than one who is complicit in the perpetuation of spiteful deeds. Furthermore, I ain't really call nobody out their name. You say rude, I say unequivocally forthright; saying it like it is, just the way you like. You know, we all being blunt and everything; I was just matching the prevalent level of bluntness...you know, zero chills just how you like it . I woulda thought that'd be your cuppa. This is an open forum, no one here has exclusive rights to write in an indelicate manner; we all can partake. I really do not need anyone to bow to me because that s**t is played out and pays no bills. However, if somebody come at me sideways, they will get it, simples! If that comes across as me wanting to be worshipped, oh well, people will just have to deal. @ bolded, you see how you typed that bit with sweetness and saccharine vibes, pray tell, was that so hard? Couldn't your blunt buddy do that? If he responded to people in that manner, will the designer Ogbono soup in his fridge go bad? People have to learn to conduct themselves with some decorum in civil society and all public spaces. If they, however, decide they are much too cool to be civil towards others, they have to be accepting of the fact that not everyone will tolerate their excesses. 13 Likes 1 Share |

salford1:Oga Salford1, I have tried to get your attention severally but to no avail. I pray you tell what in your opinion do you think the future holds for one that has a degree in Renewable Energy Engineering in Canada & what provinces to look out for. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 4:57pm On Jan 26, 2018 |
Cherokee:Renewable energy is very good. If you have been following the news in Canada, the liberal government is aggresively trying to get provinces to impose carbon taxes and shut down coal plants. Even the conservative provinces are complying. So the future is golden if you are in a renewable energy career. Provinces does not really matter as they are being forced by ottawa to comply, but Ontario, Quebec and BC seem to be leading the way. 1 Like |

XX01: Tufiakwa! Biko Chukwu juru aju! Yea, me and that entity will get along when pigs effing fly! Ha! That would be NEVER EVER in multiple lifetimes and then some! The mere thought of it alone gives me the creeps . I don't mess with folks like her who condone nasty behaviour especially in real life because I am liable to check the s**t out of her and her cronies. I don't play that! So I need to go back and delete that nonsense I wrote there before some upstanding people think I roll with her kind. So abeg XX01, don't even project that sort of loathsome notion into the universe; it is truly an odious thing to contemplate. Somebody talking about ratchet; what's wrong with being ratchet? At least I am not out here supporting vile behaviour. A confirmed unrefined villager is here claiming classy! Hahahahaha! Classy has really suffered. Classy, but your life ethos is to actively encourage the erosion of good graces and manners; yet you are here besmirching classy's good name. I really doubt you know what classy means honey! Can't say I am surprised anyway, you don't appear to be very bright. 18 Likes |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by A555: 10:46pm On Jan 26, 2018 |
Wura27: I think it is very unlikely that you will make the connection with a 1hr layover. We arrived last week, and went with a 3h15 layover, and it was just about right plus we didn't try to get the SIN there. We waited less than an hour to board, after all the other formalities. Feedback was SIN would take approximately 20mins each (it took a bit less time when we eventually got it in Calgary), and depending on the queue when you arrive, we didn't want to put ourselves under unnecessary pressure. We sorted it next day in Calgary, and it was very straightforward. The advantage of sorting it earlier in Toronto wouldn't have been huge for us. Personally, after travelling so many hours, I just wanted to get a proper lie down and some sleep, so I wouldn't have wanted to take a much later connection. However, while we were going through customs, the officer did mention that if we missed our connection because of him, there was a flight almost every hour to Calgary and the airline would put us on the next one. 7 Likes 1 Share |

czaratwork: Who said they would not admit them? The universities? If that's the case, they must have provided reasons for their stance. An admission refusal at the doctoral level could be for a variety of reasons. A major one being if one does not possess a thesis or research based Masters degree. Some schools would then recommend a second Masters by research degree as a prerequisite to admission into the doctorate program. However, before deciding on a course of action, it may behoove them to shop around and see if they can still find takers as different universities have different requirements and varying degrees of leniency. For doctoral programs, admission processes at various universities will differ however, they usually follow the same rough guidelines below: 1.) Identify a school; read extensively about the school to ensure it is a good fit for you. 2.) Study their admission requirements to ensure your qualifications are a total or close match. 3.) Develop a research proposal or question and approach the supervisors (lecturers who have delegated supervisory roles) whose research interests are in alignment with your research proposal. Secure a supervisor who is willing to walk the often arduous road that is academia at the doctoral level. 4.) Apply for admission on the basis that you meet the stated requirements and have obtained a research supervisor at the university. Also, having published papers or works in respected journals will immensely help your case along. 5.) Wait for the admission decision. Hope this helps. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
