Hello, �Please does anyone have a list of employees that are licensed to sponsor immigrants for a tier 2 visa. I read that you must get a job offer before you can be issued a tier two visa. Also, aside from that, what's the best way to move to UK. I'm currently studying for my masters in one of the Universities in the UK but via an online program. Thanks for your response � |

STENON: I think I'm totally buying your idea. Take healthcare staff for instance. A nurse in Glasgow would earn almost similar pay with another in say Surrey (barring overtime pay, etc), but their expense profiles would be totally different. I've seen 3BR flats being advertised for £600 PCM in same Glasgow, but you would hardly find such in towns close to London, not to talk of inside London itself. Lower council taxes, transport and so many other expenses still favour Scottish towns over those in Britain. That's for people whose occupation are not heavily dependent on location sha. IT, Banking, business would of course gravitate towards big cities. 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: Na porting tins. Most Nigerian nurses I know personally who've recently moved to practice in the UK are just marking time to port over to the US. Or are waiting to accumulate sufficient CRS scores to move to Canada. A fresh BSN graduate in the UK NHS starts on Band 5 (usually). £25,900 - 30,600. Meanwhile see what Glassdoor says a Registered nurse in Alberta Health services earns... ![]() P.S. I stand to be corrected o and would welcome any comment with factual counter opinion.

Tinyemeka: You are right. Add Australia to the list. The major difference between US and UK is the latter being a government employer and the former is mostly private employer. Hence a higher salary range. But the truth is its easier to get a job in the UK in medical profession than those countries. Imagine registering as a nurse in Texas and you want to move to Newyork, you have to register with that state all over again. Meanwhile NHS is NHS. Don't even start on the whole Nclex exam process again... The money gap is crazy, I really do feel Nurses are greatly underpaid in this country but ofcourse some too they chop well well. |

Aphrodite007: Actually remove ENG courses from that list. I think only medical based courses are that strict now and maybe law practice. I've seen non engineers with unusual first degrees jump into an engineering masters programme and then an engineering role and do some qualifications and achieve CENg status! The reverse is also the same and ongoing. Some even get into engineering roles with basic science qualifications and voila they become chartered. In fact someone (a Nigerian and working in Nigeria) I know achieved his CENg status here in the UK and doesn't have a first degree! He's a PhD holder but followed other means. For the reverse, it's just having skill set in qualitative and quantitative analysis a well as theoretical understanding of key themes. The work environment is really crazy. I'm an engineer by training with a PhD in CS and yet my current role is purely social science/humanities/law. What seems to be selling within the sciences, engineering and humanities now is skill rather than degree qualification. Of course all these are majorly happening outside of NIGERIA. 1 Like |

fatima04: Sincerely speaking, the UK is setting itself up for a repeat of the French Revolution. How someone will qualify as a Nurse and work crazy shifts and be paid under £35K or slightly more is baffling. If there is anything covid-19 has done for the UK - it is helping to stress test the system and expose the significant inequalities and injustice and POVERTY prevalent in this country. Why the current conservative government cannot see a revolution simmering in the shadows is unbelievable. A supposed major superpower and still battling with Food Poverty. £12bn for Serco to do test, track and trace and £bns more for supposed contracts on PPEs and wasted £400m in a bankrupt satellite company and many more wastages and yet she can't agree on a standard living wage. Look out how food banks are running out of supplies and how overloaded DWP is becoming with claimants for UBI and parliamentarians are arguing about libertarianism and egalitarianism and all what's not. By the time the system gets stuffed and the UK can't generate more wealth (especially considering the uncertainty of Brexit coupled with the massive hit from covid-19 and the potential for Joe Biden to win and thus frustrate UK out of the EU without a deal), it may be said years to come - "Behold, there lies the ruins of the once great UK. A great superpower was she. Alas, her walls are broken and storehouses emptied." Caveat - it doesn't mean people can't leverage the UK for the foreseeable future. She is still miles and miles better than Nigeria especially for young people for now. 5 Likes |

Tinyemeka: Agreed that the salary may be miserable. In fact, I'm at loss for a better word. However, on the flip side, some folks may just be ok with that salary considering other benefits they derive from the UK. For some perhaps the proximity to home and the relative abundance of Nigerians here in the UK (per sq m of developed land) with the constant owambe parties and jolly rice may be appealing enough reasons. For others it may be the natural attachment between Nigerians and the UK considering they were our colonial masters. I grew up wanting nothing more than to visit the UK. I needed to see Great Britain and then visit England and then port over to London ![]() ![]() ![]() When you cost these values and add them to the salary, you begin to see that they earn more here in the UK than perhaps in Canada. Salary isn't the only income to consider, there's also the emotional cost! 4 Likes |

fatima04: Oh yes! Extremely easy and that's why the UK is most times the first option for nurses who wish to emigrate. The government on its part is rather content with importing overseas talent from relatively poorer countries to fill in those jobs that its own citizens have overlooked, instead of increasing the pay. If the govt should increase the NHS pay bands, do you think the sector will still experience the talent shortage it's currently facing? For how long can they keep on importing nurses and doctors? Something is wrong somewhere. 1 Like |

Chukwuka16: You’re absolutely right. I only put Eng because I wanted to highlight the difficulty in being called an Engr without that first degree— I am aware that abroad Eng allows people to write exams to get that title. But it’s not so in Nigeria, Coren won’t let you in with an Eng first degree. All join sha! |

LagosismyHome: As in! I think salaries are generally lower in the UK. I see what my colleagues are collecting in the US and Can. I personally would advise teaching over nursing unless it’s the persons passion. |
