Hello

Please can I use electronically generated bank statement without (official bank stamp) to apply for visit visa for grandma?

Thanks.

Goodenoch:


You can. There's no restriction on investing in stocks. If you do it via a Lifetime ISA the government will even give you a bonus of 1k on top of your 4k every year so it's clearly very legal.

Please what about doing forex or crypto? Are they legal too for skilled work visa holders? Thanks

Good day everyone Please I need your honest advice My husband is on a student visa which will expire Sept 2025, he came in sept 2023 and I joined him 27th of March, 2024.
When I got here hubby said I shouldn’t bother looking for my job here because I won’t get sponsorship that he already has a care job for me (got my brp on Wednesday and awaiting NI)
I have over 7yrs of experience in QA/QC in pharma, my last roles was QAM, I got the offer fews weeks before traveling which I rejected.
I edited my CV to UK format and applied on job sites like indeed and LinkedIn. I got interviewed by some agencies and companies (I have one interview next Monday with a big pharm coy).
Each time I get interviewed the last question is do I need sponsorship my answer is always yes as suggested by hubby.
I’m just tired, he said sponsorship is the real deal
Is it possible to get sponsorship in my career line?
Do I take the care job as suggested by hubby?
Do I stop applying?

Hello Miidae,

This situation is a bit dicey. However, I will give my opinion coloured by my own experience as a laboratory personnel like your good-self. Many of the QA/QC roles do not like to sponsor. Once they get to know you will require sponsorship at any time, they will discontinue the conversation. They will usually accept your Nigerian experience if you are vast with analytical instrumentation and sound knowledge of GMP and GLP. But the major challenge is sponsorship.

It could be because many of them are not willing to pay up to 38k required for sponsorship except for managerial roles.

In my own case, I do not currently require sponsorship, so it was a bit easier for me. But again, never say never. I know of a former classmate who was able to secure a similar role with sponsorship, though it was before the current review of salary threshold for sponsorship.

If I were you, I will take up the care job but ignore the sponsorship at this time since you still have sufficient time on your visa while searching voraciously for QA/QC role with sponsorship.You might just be able to get something. As the current visa nears expiration, you might then take up the care sponsorship if you are unsuccessful with QA/QC. You might also spread your tentacles to food and other manufacturing sectors. Some of them do better than pharma companies for QA/QC roles. The principle of QC is same.

Don't worry much, you will be alright. All the best in your interview on Monday.

Cheers!

How I wish I can still find the response sir.

I responded to this yesterday but the bot banned me and seems the response is gone.

@Wip7: Many thanks for all that you do sir. Sometimes ago, you assisted me to modify my proposed research topic since it was too narrow at the time. Your suggestions were very helpful. A professor I contacted is willing to supervise my new topic, but again, wants it modfied to suit his current research area. His research interests is in lanthanide doped upconversion nanoparticles for biomedical applications. He has requested that I come up with what I can add to the research of his group along that line.

My initial plan was to focus on functionalizing the nanoparticles using my knowledge of surface and coordination chemistry to make them water soluble since most of the nanoparticles are produced in organic solvents and are hydrophobic.

I realized that his group recently produced a few papers on water soluble UCNPs.

I have been struggling to find other areas to focus on regarding UCNPs for biomedical applications that will be novel and was wondering if you are able to assist with suggestion at this time.

I look forward to reading from you sir.

@Ticha, Many thanks for the information. Very helpful The campus is Palmerston North.

Please I am considering PhD in Massey University and University of Canterbury without funding...I was wondering if it is possible to find a job to sustain myself during my study period.

Which of these two schools is advisable in terms of location for more job opportunities.

I will really appreciate your advice.

Thank you.

wip7:


Well done. This is very good and will be beneficial.



If your focus is just on iron nanoparticles; you will be restricted and you will find it difficult to find a supervisor.

Rather; you may look into this:

Biosynthesis of transition metal ions or/and rare-earth metal-doped ferrites nanomaterials for environmental and biomedical applications

The above-suggested research is not restricted, it's modern, ongoing, and has various industrial applications. It opens you to do research in various subfields of environmental science like environmental remediation, pollutant monitoring, and detection. Also, opens you to work on biomedical related applications. Another important aspect of the above research is that it does not limit you to iron nanoparticles but to synthesis various ferrites to use for various applications and also dope each ferrite to expand their performances. Very few works are on doping ferrites with rare-earth metal; these types of materials have not only bioenvironmental usage but highly valuable for energy shielding and explosives detections.




Best wishes!

Thank you prof for this insightful advice. I am really grateful. I will do research on this expanded scope to be able to come up with a good proposal.

@wip7: Thank you for all that you do Prof.

I have B.Sc and M.Sc in Chemistry. I have some experience in synthesis and characterization of nanoparticles and I am considering pursuing my PhD abroad. I am considering researching on Green synthesis of Iron Nanoparticles for environmental remediation.

Please do you think this is a good research area in 2021? I also have some interest in energy storage devices, though I am more excited with the former.

I look forward to your kind advice. Thank you.

@Vickyehi, Does Nigerian RN and RM qualify for canada license practical nurse? The intent is to use this for express entry, then work to convert to registered nurse in canada.
