I see 551 ọ. Azimo can't go that high jare

fatima04:


Lol, you are right oo. It was a special offer apparently, and once I used it, changed to 551 . Scammers.

Ahhh thank you! First person to ever leave a Google review! Tiri gbosa for you sir

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:
"Extremely slow" Same thing I was told before moving here but the truth is Scotland is more than what most people presume it to be . In Scotland, life is easier and comfortable for raising up kids and having good family with moderate and comfortable lifestyle. London is more expensive and easier to spend life savings for paying bills

LagosismyHome:



I did some reading about nursing and was targeting it for some family members because of job security but personally I am not impressed with the salary mainly because I see what their colleagues in the US are collecting. It is shockingly low in UK for the effort needed

Lexusgs430:



You snatched our wife....... Who is this lucky lady..........

Tinyemeka:


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. Na browse I browse am. I'm not even a nurse.

Aphrodite007:


Yeah you hit the nail on the head. Me I was even talking from the perspective that MSC doesn’t allow you to practice, it’s BSC that does— especially for specialised courses like Eng, Med, Nursing, etc

fatima04:


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.

Abeg i need the link to that google review. 5 gbosa always. You never disappoint

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!

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.

Tinyemeka:


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.

Tinyemeka:




Traitor like you!

Where's the patriotism? So you no wan die for your (adopted) kontri abi?

But if you spend 7 years for UK, which levels you wan use enter Canny? For each year above 32 years (abi 33?) of your age, na -5 points from your CRS o. Shey you know?

Hunnybee:


There's the compact license now, which allows you to practice in all 34 states who are members without having to go through the stress of registration all over again

Good to be back.

Last time I was here, Donald John Trump was President. That gives you idea how long ago that was.

Well, I’m happy to be back. I pray that the gods grant me grace to be able to not call out person(s) on this thread.
Amen.

Bourne007:
Say you send 3 years on tier 4 and 2 years post study, though you have spent 5 years but doesn't lead to settlement.

If you however switch to various visas completing 10 years (long residence) then tier 4/post study visas can be used cos you have stayed legally
