It’s a one time thing. 100%

Thanks....that such an unfair system .

Not gonna comment more on this.
But I see gross sense of entitlement...
It’s their f**king country and their f**king rules...
We either deal with or leave it...

The Chinese and Americans have basically taken over all major road construction projects in Nigeria... we complain about this situation.
Now here is a govt that decides to prioritize its citizens and continental union over others... and it’s become an issue...cos we are Nigerians? Abegi!

Follow the rules as it is... if it gets better, then it gets better for us all... but I’m not sure the UK govt does anything without placing its citizens first!
This is not about being smarter in a test or being better qualified... this is about patriotism and being proud of a union that cares about its member states citizens ... its the right thing!
I lost similar opportunities and didn’t nag about it...cos I know the rules... it’s a UK/EU first society... so WTF? If leaving the EU gives me an equal chance of tier 2 sponsorship, then fine... it doesn’t mean the old ways were wrong; it just means that the UK govt has refreshed its policies and priorities for a better society living without the EU membership.

Let nigeria or AU do theirs, I’m sure we’ll be proud too...

These comments are just not right...

Apparently this is a Nigerian fora, so people won’t like this kinda comment... but IDGAF! It is what it is... we either deal with or leave it!

RalphJean:



...At the moment, a UK employer who wants to sponsor someone for a Tier 2 (General) visa – the main type – usually has to carry out a resident labour market test (RLMT).

This involves advertising the job in a special way for 28 days to see if there are any suitable settled workers available to fill the vacancy. Roughly speaking, a settled worker is a British or European Economic Area national, or someone who has indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

If any suitable settled workers apply (who meet the minimum requirements of the job) then you have to offer the job to them, rather than the non-EEA national you want to sponsor, even if the person you want to sponsor is the better candidate.


Biko, see the bolded.

How a Nigerian would actually think that that is fair is beyond me. Unless it's a Nigerian that has not had the (mis)fortune of having an employer look them in the eye and said:
"Well, based on the interviews, you performed well. Your practical skills are exactly what we needed. However, there is this guy from xyz country, that we will have to hire (instead of you) because he is from xyz while you are from F**king Nigeria".

Na wa o after two days. Sometimes skip some issues.

It’s unfair actually. But if they don’t do it that way, people will abuse it.

I’m sorry bros... but please stop nagging over a lost job cos you are Nigerian... many people don see same and it’s not an issue. You are still standing right? Then celebrate that.

Someone here (a Nigerian on this thread) already generalized and castigated any dealings with the Pakistans some pages ago... cos of his experience with them.

Some of have done same with various nationalities... what then is the issue if some other chose to do same with you?

A recruiter once told me that the organization didn’t have any reason for not wanting me shortlisted for final interviews.. deep down, I inferred it could be cos of my nationality/race.
I told him outright that it was their loss... not mine...and moved on.
They have every right to do whatever they chose to do... na their company..na me dey find work.
Why not canvass to change the Nigerian narrative.

Go see what people are doing with student visa and agents to cheat the system... go find out.

RalphJean:


This statement is CATEGORICALLY untrue.
There is ABSOLUTELY no evidence to back it up.

The Only 'evidence' is that it was happening by virtue of the UK being a member of the EU.
I can prove that I had previously been denied a job (which I was more than qualified for) because I hold a Nigerian Passport.
What no one can prove is that EU citizens will ALWAYS get preferential treatment post-Brexit.

A bottle of beer for you sir.

TrumpsWall:
You were denied simply because they didn't want you. Based on my experience, companies can go through the length of hiring anyone they feel is most suited for a role despite RLMT. How can you even tell you were more than qualified than the other candidates when you never saw their resume?

Thanks sir.

Why are disagreeing with me when the highlighted part of your post just confirmed what I said.

You are over qualified but they did not take you because they preferred someone else...probably white / European.
Is not because you are holding Nigerians passport because if they really want to give you the job they will despite the passport you are holding.

Hello, please I need help. Came in to the Uk September with my family. Either myself or hubby wants to start driving ASAP..especially cause of school runs and moving about as a family. We came with international drivers license and we have a car to use but which insurance would you recommend that is flexible and more pocket friendly. Hoping to learn from your experience please. At least we can drive till license expires then do a few paid lessons later and test. Please advise. Thank you

You see the wahala here?
Maybe at the end of the day, the company decides not to progress with him, the narrative will be that he was more qualified and was denied employment because of his visa status.
Meanwhile the rules are pretty clear.

It is well, na we smart pass, na we qualify pass, yet na we dey fall our hand pass.

What’s difficult in condemning people that try to cheat a system?

If at the end, this company realizes that the Nigerian gave incomplete information during his application, do you think Nigerians stand any chance of being considered for interviews by them in the future? What are the chances?

Would you blame them if they decide not to waste time considering any Nigerian application in the future?

Who lose last last? Na me and you.

Bad idea, to start with..he can't work full time during term time and the company will not even take him on that.

Let him speak to the company about his situation, ask them to allow him take up the employment after graduation.

He will be breaking his student visa rule if he takes up this employment while still on student visa

I'm surprised though that the company is even willing to employ him while still on student visa..maybe he did not give the company all the info.

Let him do things the proper way to avoid regret pretty soon.

Hahahaha... this your name is scary my friend.

FraudMan:
Guys what are the possible scenarios that one can use to achieve this 10yrs long residency thing. Let’s assume the person is starting with a Student visa (undergraduate)....

No insults pls and I hope justwise won’t take down my post because this has nothing to do with cheating a system or being fraudulent.

Not sure about UK as well, but 100% sure about canada. Once you’ve had it after your study, you’ve had it for life regardless of how many more masters or PhD you acquire.

I believe rules and guidances will be published soon regarding psw. Fingers crossed*

So the only way for one to get around it is to keep reapplying for Masters or PhD to make up the years, right?

Waste of money. Besides i think there is even a limit on how many years one can be on a student visa.

Also if u keep reapplying for masters or phD with the aim to meet the 10 years long residency, once home office finds out, your visa can be curtailed.

Meaning the 10 years route is possible but it all depends on the applicants situation/case. You can’t say for sure how it can be achieved in a particular way.

OK, thanks. But won't the job be for only two years, or do you have to keep renewing / extending your stay after every 2 years or what?

Go to the uk gov website and read on skilled worker visa formerly known as Tier 2 (general) visa. You will have a broad knowledge on your enquiry.
