I think in about 10 years there will be a massive reverse migration (expatriation lol) to red list countries such as in Africa, whose governments will be forced to pay foreign doctors, nurses, teachers, medical professionals, engineers etc to come in and plug massive skills and experience shortages in their healthcare, education and other sectors.

It's not just the west that needs or will need immigration due to skills shortages. Unchecked brain drain, as is happening in countries like Nigeria, can only go on for so long before it brings a country to its knees. Hopefully these governments are planning and saving ahead.

I thought Air Peace claimed to be disruptor, on the LGW - LOS route.........😜

Imagine my disappointment, when they are attempting to charge £1200 for a July flight.....

Lexusgs430:


£20,000 bank loan at 6.9 APR, over 5 years would be about £420 each month for 5 years....... When the loan payment is over, another visa renewal would be due....... Where would it end.... I cannot even offer a better solution......

Lexusgs430:


WHAT........😞🤔

£19,000 for only 5 years visa ....... Haba, the cost of immigration is equitable to paying a deposit on a mortgage + all other logistical cost ....... Loads of respect.....👍

My wife and I are putting in an application for a Canadian visitor visa. For those of us living in the UK, when you applied for the visa, did you type in your BRP details in the National Identity Number section? If you did, what did you select, as there’s no section for UK residents?

Or, did you just upload your BRP in the optional documents section? My visa expires in 2028, but you know the BRP shows an expiry date of December 2024. Will this be an issue for the Canadian Embassy? I don’t want them to assume that we plan on running away.

Please I recently got a domestic assistant (cleaner) job in the NHS but I want to switch to care assistant in the same NHS.
Is it possible? Please someone should enlighten me. Thanks 🙏

AntiMCU:


The code is on the CoS but not showing on the application portal, that's the issue here.

Hi Team,

Please I'm trying to make an application for a skilled worker's visa however when it comes to selecting the occupational code/job role, it's showing "No results found" and it is currently listed on the Skilled Worker visa: eligible occupations and codes.

I contacted the home office via phone and the lady I spoke to couldn't be off much help: she said something along the lines of "Using another related code for the job role and explaining it in a note at the end of my application".

I also sent a mail to "applyonlinee-support@homeoffice.gov.uk" who couldn't be of much help by telling me "There is currently no reported problems with our online services".

I have sent an email to the HR of the company who issued the CoS explaining the situation.

Please what other ways can I tackle this issue? I need help oh abeg.

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much to everyone who offered advice in December! Your help was invaluable in getting my Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) from my line manager in mid-January.

Moving forward, I have some questions about proof of English for my Skilled Worker Visa application as a software developer. While I've requested a letter of English proficiency from my university, I'm concerned about the turnaround time. Additionally, I haven't been able to find any upcoming IELTS UKVI test dates near me.

With that in mind, I have two questions:

1. Can I use the IELTS UKVI Academic test to meet the English language requirement for my Skilled Worker Visa application?
2. Are there any alternative English language tests accepted for Skilled Worker Visa applications that might have shorter waiting times for appointments?

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have someone in this same situation. She applied for Graduate visa on Monday, and got COS the next day. So she's applying for Tier-2 now. All she has to do after applying for Tier-2 is to cancel her Graduate visa application, right?

Lexusgs430:


Why comparing wood vs blocks.....😁😄

Solumtoya:


Age old argument that won't ever be agreed on.

From my experience, I can tell you with my chest that for a Nigerian Immigrant, First time buyer; New Build is way better if you can afford it. They're not very cheap in some locations, but boy are they worth it! I always intended to write a comparison but it would look too biased because the pros of New Builds will look so long!

Golan007:


Does structure fall from the sky?

Most Nigerians must learn to be forthright.

Corruption at base level is just as bad as at the elite level.

Golan007:


Yes, but it has limits.

If she continues, she would likely work with Total or Chevron which isn't bad in itself.

However, her talents might be better suited to research in areas the country does not engage in.

Note:

Nigeria's problem is caused by the collective of the entire population.

Please what happens next after someone has spent 5 years on a work visa. At what point would the person be able to apply for ILR. Is it after the end date of the COS. Does the person need another visa extension to be able to apply for ILR?

Hello, please I need to help someone apply for health care skilled visa since her CoS is out. She's in the UK already on dependant visa. So which is the right application link to use?

Lexusgs430:


What you need to do, send me a WhatsApp message from your iPhone and open message on you android laptop, then install APK file ..... Dazs all..😁

What if you travel back to Nigeria and came back to the UK after few weeks which entry date will be used to calculate the 12months?

hustla:



This means you failed to read my initial premise

The guy in question left school after 1 year to switch to care worker COS. He did not finish or even attempt to apply for jobs in the chosen career area before switching. If it were a course like Intl Business and the like, its very understandable

No one said not to switch to healthcare sponsorship if time is running out; not even attempting is what baffled me

His life, his choices at the end of the day

People will choose what they want depending on their risk appetite and how they perceive their strengths, ability to hold out / delayed gratification etc

jaxxy:
the cbn governor himself has his own links

what is the point of this? The main thing us the ethics of the job must be adhered to at all times. declaring Political links is totally unnecessary.

what of if their Political links is to the president? what next?

Na tithe una dy argue here..... the 20-40% tax wy dy go to buying arms and ammunition for Ukraine and Israel una no argue am.

Your money is been used to house immigrant terrorists una no argue am.

9ja leaders dy waste our money anyhow. £1 is heading to #1500

If you pay tithe, great. If you don't believe in it don't pay... it doesn't stop your blessings..

Period.

hustla:



Just dey play

hustla:


You will be surprised how much people pay in tithes

Drug dealers, Yahoo boys etc pay tithes and "gift" Pastors stuff to be in their good books

Could also be drugs but I think he would have been caught since if it was drugs

I suspect money laundering + tithes

Learnt from watching YouTube video or from seeing someone getting it done directly?

I get frustrated when my mechanics get to tax me all over again after taxing the parts used to repair the car, like for instance I get taxed for buying a particular part bought by my mechanic which has already been taxed by the seller and my mechanic will also tax it again when summing up, really crazy.

I saved a lot during my last mot by buying part my self directly from eBay.

Was seeing 77£ on eBay and 180£ from offline shops really crazy difference.

Took my car to a service centre that does interim checks while also recommending some actions or repairs that needs done, from there I gathered the list of parts I also felt needed and I bought them all from eBay, (make sure you ask the seller to check the exact type for you and also do you research very well also).

Spent 270£ on parts which would have been around over 550£ of bought from offline store.

NB: Don’t make a mistake of putting wrong fuel in your car oh, lol cost me I think 150£ (still have the receipt) and I still loose another 90£ worth of fuel after listening to a bad advice of putting more fuel. Initially bought petrol of 25£ and upon knowing, was advised by someone to add extra diesel to mix it, I bought extra 70£ worth of the supreme grade diesel. On my way home problem start. (Was that time when diesel was almost 1.9£/liter). Struggled to get it home. Can’t afford to pay for another towing vehicle.
