Can I earn and support my studies in Canada with 20 hr/week if I live in Newfoundland and study in Memorial University?
I will share my personal experience. I am an international student in Canada ( Not memorial). I work part time at Walmart. According to the rules:International students are allowed to work 20 hours/week during your classesFull-time during summers and winter breaksEarnings: I earn around $11/hour and I am currently working full time because it is my summer holidays. I generally earn around $1600/month during summers and around $500/month during my classes.Expense: The total cost of living and food on campus can be around $1700/month + tuitionBut there is always a hope: If you live off campus, you can save lots of money. I have got a house worth $450/month for rent and I spend around $160/month on food+$70 (extra costs) which makes it around $700.Conclusion: You can pretty much do it but of course you will have to take support from your parents.Note: I also have a youtube channel. If you are planning to come to canada, you can check out my channel. I upload many important videos for international students which will help you ease the process of studying abroad.

How can an international student become a permanent resident in Canada?
She can't. First, there are several categories for applying for permanent residency. * Skilled Worker. She doesn't have a degree already, a year's work experience, a qualifying job offer, nor likely to reach the 67 points needed to even apply. * Refugee. Not likely if she has a passport and money for school. * Immediate family sponsor. Only parents, siblings, children, and spouses can sponsor someone for citizenship. Aunts may not sponsor nieces. * Investor. Requires her to have $350k to start a business in Canada. * Provincial nominee. She isn't a famous artist, athlete, or doctor willing to work in the artic. * Experience class. She must graduate from a Canadian university with a specific degree before applying for this. Second, most permanent residency applications take three to six years to process. Even if she married a Canada, that process takes well over a year. Third, when apply, you (or your sponsor) needs to provide financial statements showing that they can cover any living expenses until they find a job or for six months or so. This is usually around $13,000 for a single person with a job offer. If you tell them you won't be working for three years, even if they didn't immediately reject the application, the amount they (or their sponsor) would need to have would be astronomical. In addition, each applicant/sponsor signs an agreement that utlizing social services during that time may be considered proof that the applicant/sponsor is not fiancially meeting their obligations and the applicant may be dismissed. Forth, all provinces limit social services avaiable to permanent residence for a certain period of time (typically two years). This includes welfare, student loans, and the reduced student fees for Canadian citizens. About the only way she would have any chance might be if she could get married today and (with luck) have her permanent residency by mid next year. Within two years should could then enroll at normal rates, and maybe get her fourth year at Canadian rates.
How is the experience of doing an MBA from Canada for Indian students? What are the job prospects?
An excellent question here.Both America and the UK have very tough restrictions on international students who want to stay and work in the country. In the U.S. the H1-B has become a real issue and business schools have been actively lobbying to increase the number of H1-B available every year. And until now those lobbying efforts haven’t been successful. To secure a H1-B today is purely the result of a lottery. Yeah, you read me right. In other words, you make a huge bet on hoping to secure a H1-B visa. In the UK, graduates must find work even before their student visa expires if they want to stay in the country.Canada and other more welcoming countries have leveraged the current situation to attract more talented applicants into their programs. Note that at the same time, applicants interested in U.S. b-schools went down from 83% in 2007 to 73% in 2015 (source GMAC). Canada is actually surfing on this wave to bring more talents from the Silicon Valley as well. Take a look at the massive billboards that the Canadian government hiredCanadian MBA programs have always been considered as top MBA (keep in mind that there are more than 1,900 accredited MBA programs and thousands of others not accredited). When you go to a school like Schulich (as Satyameet Singh went), Rotman or Sauder you do not take tremendous risks on your career prospects. Also, the admission process would be slightly less competitive because majority of Indian applicants are still applying to the U.S. programs. Finally, as mentioned above, you have much more chance to secure a job in Canada post-graduation than in the U.S. Of course, you need to do your homework and make sure that there are opportunities in the career paths you are looking at.Hope that helped,Jonathan
How can I get a job in Canada from Nigeria?
It is possible, but very difficult. Step 1: You need to format your résumé into a Canadian-style réesumé (How do I create a Canadian-style résumé?)Step 2: Register for online job boards in Canada such as Home - Job BankStep 3: Research Canada. Learn what the country is like, the cultural norms, the habits. In addition to this, learn about the different provinces and territories to determine where you should focus your energy. Each has different dominant sectors and require different skillsets. Determine your own skillset and find the province whose economic sectors best align with what you can offer, then focus your job hunt there.Step 4: Apply to jobs with a Canadian cover letter (Writing a cover letter) and your Canadian résumé.Keep in mind that Canadian employers often favour international applicants with experience that they can understand/trust. If you worked in the UK, the US, Australia, France etc at any point in time, or studied there, or interned there, whatever it is, highlight that aspect. No one really trusts African experience unless it is for an international company like Shell Nigeria or it took place in South Africa.Step 5: Network. Join online forums with Canadians looking to network. Attend webinars and make connections. The Canadian government does not make it easy for companies to hire non-Canadians from abroad, but if someone believes you are worth it, they will go through the effort.Step 6: Pray that either Step 4 or 5 work out. Once you have a job offer with an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment Basics) you are g0od to head to the nearest embassy and apply to come to Canada. Other options include having the employer and you go through the province nominating you (Determine your eligibility - Provincial nominees) however, this is a longer process.Alternative option: go to Canada to complete your education (get another bachelors, or a masters or a PhD or something) and it will increase your chances of staying, finding a job, working, and going through the immigration system exponentially.Regardless of what you choose to do, goodluck! Your question was Can I get a job in Canada from Nigeria?The answer is yes. It is hard, but very possible.Cheers,Bonus video:
