She spent 23, 000CAD ( 10.7million naira) to migrate to Canada and within 4months she made $20,000 and u someone will say it's not worth traveling aboard. Weldone dear

[@sarahreviewsinasmr]

You are not even including her rent, transportation, feeding, clothing and other essential expenditures..Dey play..why do you think every Canada immigrant have a KZbin channel. Canada is not for everyone. Don't do it cause everyone is doing it. Do it cause it's your life's purpose. That's it.

A great tip for international students while working in canada is working in a restaurant. Even though I worked in minimum wage job of 20 hours I was making almost the same in tips which meant I could maximize my time. So basically earning 30 bucks an hour. Forever will be grateful for that. So students check out restaurants jobs as servers or bartenders 😉

Ensure not to state that in your SOP as your medium of getting your tuition fee balance, though. Stating that might jeopardise your chances.

I actually don’t need this information as I have been here since forever but somehow KZbin planted this video on my timeline and my curiosity clicked on it as I paid for my second year tuition. I must commend the ideas you gave and I second them! I love when I see another driven girl as I came when I was young and I made it this far. Keep soaring! I don’t know you but based on this video I am super proud of you! ❤️

But i want to ask two questions, 1) what advice will u give to someone coming with the wife (no children) for masters programme? 2) as part of the requirements for study visa, do u need to show proof of funds that covers your tuition fees for the whole programme and extra money for living expenses, whats the proof fund like to get your study visa?

5️⃣ Let's also not forget that rent asides, basic feeding and clothing costs money but there are ways around that: look for food banks in the community and don't be ashamed to register, it helps you save money on groceries. For clothing needs, sometimes schools have clothing banks too for free pre-loved clothes for students, shop at thrift stores, they have wonderful things too. Continued above......
