Hello guys,

I turn 30 in two years time and I have been seriously considering picking up a skill before I turn 30.

I have spent my 20s dabbling in and out, learning many skills I haven't mastered. My problem is that I struggle to finish things I start. The motivation usually dies half-way into the learning journey and so I would jump ship only to go find another ship to board lol.

I'm moving to Canada next month and I would love to have at least one tangible skill under my belt before moving. The skill should exist within the digital world preferably and it should be niche, that is, it shouldn't be common. I have in the past tried my hands on web development which I didn't attain a desirable level of proficieny in before quitting. I would go back to it but it's too saturated right now that I would rather look elsewhere. I have done a little cybersecurity too but I am finding that I may not be able to do well in it as it's a very competitive industry. I suck at competitions.

I'm looking for your recommendations for someone like me who lacks the motivation to see things to the finish line, for someone like me who is looking for a skill they could use here and also in Canada.

What would you recommend for me?

Thank you.

What do you guys think of the way Indians are taking over Canada in massive numbers? Brampton's demography is 80% Indian. And it's not like they are assimilating into the Canadian culture, they are instead forming their own parallel society within Canada, posing a threat to Canadian values. Canada is appealing to me and to many not just because of her economic opportunities but also because of her values of freedom and egalitarianism.

Diversity isn't importing immigrants from only one part of the world, it is balancing the immigrants who are coming in so that diverse countries can be represented. The US understands this very well which is why Nigerians are no longer eligible for visa lottery because they have taken in over 50k Nigerians, exceeding the threshold they set for Nigerians.

Dear JMG12,

Thanks for all you have doing, assissting others with valuable advice.

I heard that IRCC new policy now requires every study visa applicant to pay full first year tuition fees before submitting their visa application. I have researched far and wide just to confirm this claim but it seems the information is scanty and scarce. Even, I couldn't lay my hand on such information on IRCC website.

Please, could you help to clarify.

If it's not on IRCC's website then the information is fake.

Hi did you apply from England?



Landing gist!!!
Live in Ontario !!!
To God be the glory, though the experience has been like a cat's peaceful slumber. Traveling with a family of five from England to Canada is no easy feat. We arrived in Ontario on January 12, facing a lengthy immigration queue at Toronto Pearson YYZ Airport due to limited officers.

In the queue, a kind individual noticed we had kids and assisted my wife, triggering a barrage of questions about our family, her academic history, and our plans for the kids' school enrollment. They even requested documents like the kids' previous school records, medical reports, and our marriage certificate. Eventually, they asked to see proof of funds on my wife's mobile app, fortunately, we had sufficient funds.

Lesson learned: always be prepared with ample funds, despite assurances that they won't ask for proof at the airport. Prepare for the unexpected.

Best wishes to all, and if you're a student at Caandore College in Brampton, feel free to reach out.

All the best to all the ppr waiters!!!

welcome to Bramptadesh.

Thanks in advance.

If I have a brother (half-brother, who is my sponsor) from the same mother but different father, how do I proof that he is my brother aside using picture.

Birth certificates. If you two don't share the same surname, a family tree can also be used to show how you two are related.

GreatAchiever1:
U left out something very important; God.

Proverbs 16:9; The mind of man plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.

A man needs to be close to God like the very breath that he breathes.

The average Nigerian involves god in virtually everything they do yet they are among the nationalities that suffer the most in the world, the average Nigerian doesn't eat balanced diet, struggles to pay house rent, doesn't take vacations, doesn't have access to basic amenities that make life comfortable and livable. Basic amenities that people in developed countries who do not even care about god, enjoy. Thr average Nigerian is suffering and don't even know how much they are suffering because to them, God is good, God is taking care of them. Lmao. Travel abroad and you will see that either God hates Nigerians, or he is unable to help Nigerians,or he is just a sadist or he doesn't exist.

specialmati:
good good.then dont forget to love God in all. He will keep you going

there's no evidence for god. Rest.

lyndaoyewole:
wow never knew this. but if its AI reviewed, i assume alot of approvals would be rolling out

I think reverse would be the case. AI wouldn't read with emotions or sentiments. It scans through for specific keywords and calculates how thorough, how well the sop explained points and assigns the sop a score. Or the sop can summarize the sop, highlighting the main points which the VO would work with. AI, I think would be more strict, as it is would follow procedures to a T. Humans can easily be influenced in their decision making depending on their mood, time of the day, how well they slept at night, how emotionally charged or beautifully written the SOP is. AI can't.
But like I said, I read that somewhere. I'm not sure of the source. But if it is true, it will help to get a professional writer to write your SOP.

lyndaoyewole:
LOE/SOP determines so much in this whole process. how you explain & arrange documents can make or break your application. but in all grace plays s vital role. because a terrible VO can mess up

Do VOs even read SOPs? I read somewhere that they don't really do. They have AI do it for them.

How can one prove work experience if they have 3+ years of experience working a job they have been receiving salary cash.
Note: The company isn't ed yet. No tax clearance whatever. No employment letter from the company. The company belongs to my dad.

Canadababy:
As long as you write a very very good and convincing SOP as to why and how you decided to study the course.

Thanks. That wouldn't be a problem

Soraco57:
Yes

why you come dey call m motivational speech?

Soraco57:
Hello, please who can help write motivational statement though not free, thanks

Do you mean statement of purpose?

Has anybody here ever had their visa approved for a program that isn't related to their work experience or educational background?

Check Medicine Hat College. They have applications open for January 2024

pls how can I confirm? Apart from ing them to find out - because there is nothing about the January applications being open on the colleges website.

CharitoJames:


Try Conestoga. I directed a friend on how to fill out the application and he submitted on Thursday and he got an offer on Monday… just 2 working days and it’s for January intake. I think the course he chose is less competitive and the campus too…

The thing is, on the school's website, they only show availability for fall intakes. No info for next year intake. It's not just the Conestoga, other colleges too are guilty of this.

any idea when the deadline is? My port isn't out yet.
Can one apply at the school with an expired port and update their pp info later when their pp is renewed?

Please are there colleges that start a new academic session in May? I can't wait for September 2024.

Your sponsor paying 1 semester will go a long way to demonstrate their willingness to actually sponsor you but not necessarily prove they are capable to sponsor you. What proves that is how you explain your sponsor source of income and what he is worth to be a sponsor. That's what a solid sop will give you. Doesn't have to necessarily pay full tuition. If he has available funds to pay all, then why not.

sponsor is my auntie. Alone, I don't think she's capable of footing the bills. But she told me she will involve her husband, her children, and my uncle.

The program I'm gunning for is a two year diploma program which is 4 semesters. I am using a sponsor. Will my sponsor paying for one semester while proving that they are capable of sponsoring me throughout the duration of my studies, will that be enough? Or does my sponsor have to pay for fees for the entire duration of my program before IRCC will take my application seriously?
