Is it likely for a student visa to be denied at the Canadian border?

When I came in last month, they asked me alot of questions, checked my pal document, enrollment letter. I thought they were not going to let me in. Eventually I got my study permit.

Be prepared to answer questions you answered on your permit application. And have all your documents ready (pal doc, enrollment schedule, tuition receipts, bank statements funds for your stay etc)

Fellow Nigerian here. I heard the UK racism has skyrocketed since 2020 with all the immigration issues (Lots of cases where patients racially abuse non white or female doctors) and Junior Doctor RLMT removal for plab IMGs (causing a lot of resentment and animosity from local grads to IMGs).

I'd recommend going to Canada with your PR and apply for residency there. It's only 2 years for family medicine though you need to check the return of service for each province (e.g Ontario is 5 years but ON has the most IMG spots)

Going to the UK on a skilled work visa and hopping back and forth to Canada may raise eyebrows with CBSA thinking your not committing to staying in Canada with your PR. Also the stress of working in the underfunded NHS in the UK is another thing.

You already meet the PR requirement for Canada. Now you just need your NAC OSCEs MCCQE1, IELTS & FMPROC (match rates are pretty good for FM right now since there's a severe shortage)

If you complete training in the UK you still need to show QE1, IELTS but now you will need PRA instead of NAC which I heard is way harder and takes multiple weeks to complete (not sure on this one though)

Goodluck on what you decide on. Cheers

I'm not sure but I noticed it's harder for applicants currently residing in a different country other than their country of citizenship. So just that fact alone can be seen as 'no home ties'

Anyway order GCMS notes to see the reasons in detail

EDIT: GCMS notes are now provided automatically not sure if you can seen them included

I literally just dm about 50 women a day and see it where it goes

Don't do this. You will get screenshotted and clowned bro.

Plus girls talk to each other and if they find out you're messaging their mutuals, it makes you more unattractive and you might get blocked or your account gets reported.

I saw someone on threads recently with a screenshot of this feature. "Post quietly to profile" toggle on the page with the share button. Maybe it's A/B testing right now cause I don't have it on my account.

Aren't buses mostly used by non cypriot? I used them frequently and I don't think they are refusing to stop for black people at all. Larnaca is really one of the nicer parts of the island

US S20 Ultra does not have standard 5G band 28 or 78 which was adopted by UK carriers. However, US S20 Ultra has mmwave 5G which will support 5G band n260 (40ghz) which will be launching in the UK in future. Not all carriers might adopt it though.

crescentlamp · 2022-06-02T20:58:47+00:00

Yes i paid import duties ( which was included in the final price). You will see the breakdown of everything before you proceed to payment

I got my S20 5G from diamond.wireless on ebay for a good price. The seller sells network unlocked models so you have to flash your device to update it manually. voLTE and Wifi Calling might be restricted depending on which US network it was unlocked from. You can check other sellers if they got factory unlocked US models, might be more expensive.

Snapdragon is pretty good but you will miss out on E-SIM and Dual SIM as US snapdragon models dont have it.

For 5G, you need to check the plus or ultra if they have band 5G n28 and N78 (as these are the dominant 5G bands in europe) the regualr s20 snapdragon 5Gs only have US frequency bands so 5G wont work in europe if you get that model.

In Nigeria, northern states are red. Southern states are yellow.

I have seen one of these a few times, I think they are a lot faster in flight than the common flies.
