Hello Naijaforeigner, I remember you saying you graduated from Fanshawe college (I hope I'm not mistaking you for someone else). I just recently got my PPR and just waiting to get back my passport with the visa on it by Gods grace. Please what should I expect as an international student going to London Ont? Do you think its possible to transition from Study visa to PR within my 1 year PGWP? Are you still living in London? if yes how easy do you think it is to get a job after school (business administrator with 3 years Naija experience)? Please can someone tell me which is more preferable choice to fly with, Egypt or Ethiopian air. |

Dameelee: Congrats Dameele. Oh yes I finished from Fanshawe and I had to do 2 PGC programs. I am still in London Ontario, I work and live here. What should you expect? I don’t even know what to tell you. Well, it is a cool city and for me, l love it here (except the boring social life). It is also an okay city for international students although COVID has made it a bit challenging for students to get part time jobs. Have an open mind, embrace other cultures and be willing to unlearn some stuffs we have been used to as Nigerians. Transitioning from a 1 year PGWP to PR. This is a difficult one to answer as each person will have to evaluate their situation and determine best suits them and assess their apetite for risk. It also depends on your age, IELTS, how soon you can get a job in NOC O,A or B post graduation and which route you are considering for PR. Is it easy to get jobs post graduation in NOC 0, A or B? I did and had friends who also got those jobs. I must add, your program of choice also plays a key role. It is very possible to get PR with just 1 year PGC, I have seen few people do it BEFORE COVID and I have friends in the process as we speak. I must also add, it is risky. My personal suggestion will be, go for a second program if you have the money so that you can have peace of mind. If you need anything when you come in to London Ontario, please feel free to reach out, ask questions as much as possible. I am more than happy to help you to the best of my ability. Fanshawe will likely give you 2 free nights of accommodation while you search for houses. On this thread In 2018, I got help from a wonderful man The Congo ( he has been in London for over 20 years or there about) and another wonderful Nigerian lady ( I can’t remember her user name anymore) who helped me settle in. God bless them. 23 Likes |

ednut1: Canada is just one country When you check Ghana, US, UK, Russia and even Germany and where I currently live You will see the mass exodus in real time I had a discussion with someone not too long ago And I got to discover that some young Nigerians are even considering study route in countries like Lithuania and Philippines Freaking Philippines Some south african unis You see the number of Nigerians And you just wonder And I just glossed through the SA thread Much more are seeking admissions and committing their life savings Bro, it's a mass exodus from the country Especially among younger Nigerians 8 Likes |

Ugosample:the Nigerian population is over 200m. When 20m people leave we can be talking about exodus. The country is failed and destined to keep failing. Any sensible person will flee. 10 Likes |

ednut1: In terms of absolute numbers Your position is right It cant be seen as an exodus per se But I see it from the angle of the increasing desperation among young people to run It has not been this way since the last time we had a mass exodus in babangida era |

You sound just like my dad. He said with the mass exodus in the 80s and 90s, Nigeria is still over populated. That even with the Canadian movement, there shall be no changes. ednut1: 2 Likes |
