Dear Nairalanders... Please advice me. I Intend ending up in cansda Via the express entry route but my uncle has adviced I consider a 1yr Masters abroad. Say UK so it could add up my points to qualify for canada express entry. 9ja not an option, as I am stuck on a Bank job that leaves you not time. Any cheap/affordable uni in uk you recommend? Also hope i can work on the side |

Smile4mee01: If you’re absolutely certain that the UK should be your transition country, I think derby and Huddersfield are quite affordable. You should look towards Wales too, they may have an affordable school, and living cost is lower there. If I may advise, close your eyes and pay for a uni in the south of England, that way you’ll have more student job opportunities that may give you the chance to make a lot of money. Also keep your pride in Nigeria and apply to roles like care, support and mail sorting as a casual staff (night shifts) they pay better than other student jobs. About Canada, your uncle is right. You get more points with an MSc. So that’s a very good plan. But I won’t lie, express entry works better for those with STEM background. People have to understand that Canada is very educated and the only thing that might make you special will be STEM with 2 years work experience or non-STEM with donkey years experience (lol I’m just kidding 4-5 years is ok). So before you embark on your UK journey, make sure you have more than 2 years in the banking sector if not, the Canada way no go too pure for you. Please I don’t want to fight with anybody, this is my opinion. Just type your own under if you don’t agree with mine. It’s a free world. Shade intended. Thank you 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Aphrodite007: Thanks alot for your message and enlightenment. Pls, my school fees is 19k pounds. And maintenance fees as you said is 11k pounds. Pls, does that mean that the minimum balance in my dad account will be 30k pound( 19k + 11k)? Or, is it that, the school fees and maintenance has been calculated to be 11k pounds minimum to be in the account, though total is 30k pounds? Kindly assist. Thanks as I await your details feed back |

OLAREWAJU1705: If your tuition is 19k. Your school may ask you to pay a certain amount out of your tuition to them before they send a CAS to you. That CAS is what you will use when applying for your visa. But you will submit a statement reflecting the remaining tuition plus the living cost. For example. Your school might tell you to pay 5k out of your 19k for your CAS. When you pay that 5k, you will be owing them 14k, which you must pay either before you resume or while in school. You aren’t meant to pay them that 11k (please note that it isn’t 11k o, justwise’s answer is the correct amount). But when you are applying for the visa, your dad must have that 11k + the remaining 14k from your tuition = 25k. To be fair, the only amount expended is your tuition fee, as you aren’t giving anybody that 11k (and you will def not be spending that amount during your studies unless you’re a spoilt brat). After you get your visa, you can make the remaining Tuition payment in batches or at once. It all depends on your school. 1 Like |

LaaJiblik: Baba that thing hard eh! Like 80% of my friends (wealthy people o) applied to Canada, some even applied for premasters sef, and only less that 10% got in. I advised a lot of them that are STEM Graudates to go through Ireland, gain work experience there from the extra 2 years post study, then use the express entry to enter their “dream” country- Canada. I did a research and I found that the number of Nigerians going to UK is reducing while the number of students going to Canada is soaring exponentially. And you know Canada doesn’t care about money but brains, plus they have realised that people are using the student route to stay permanently in canada, so they have become strict with it. |

Aphrodite007: You're so right about the number of Nigerians going to the UK for studies decreasing while that of Canada and Australia is increasing. And Scotland is complaining very bitterly about the work after study anti-immigration policy of the UK government. I read an article yesterday about it. Dont know how recent it is, though. Student intake from India and Nigeria were specifically mentioned. The country is losing a lot of revenue, about half of which is off-campus revenue, there is also skills-shortage due to the restriction. They feel Scotland and Scottish unis are suffering for it. I think the Scots are tired of this UK marriage, and referendum or not, a lot would rather opt out. Are there any students or ex from Strathclyde or Glasgow Unis? I'm trying to compare both and I'm getting mixed reviews. I got admission to both business schools and I'm stumped trying to make a choice. Any real opinions or experiences? 1 Like |

Subliminals: Aberdeen is a nice place. It’s an “Oyel town” - imagine Port Harcourt. “How expensive” is very relative. Okay, it’s more expensive than Abuja, more expensive than Lagos, cheaper than London. A litttle less expensive than Edinburgh. Maybe as expensive as Glasgow. A little more expensive than Dundee. As for “student jobs” there are retail assistant positions, care jobs, support jobs, and scanty hospitality jobs. 1 Like |

deolutolu: You may wish to browse the pages of this thread. Several people have posted their application timelines on this thread previously. For starters, it takes shorter time if your application is at an “off-peak” period. For example, someone has submitted on Wednesday, and gone to pick up his passport back on Wednesday of the next week. Like I said, browse back at previous pages of this thread. Thou shalt find that which thou seekest. |
