Want to relocate to Canada despite visa refusals? Learn how I did same here: My Emotional JAPA STORY

foreign so this video might be a little bit long um so I'm just apologizing before I start um I just want to talk about something so yesterday I had a friend over and we're just talking about her cousin who wanted to come to Canada to study I was finding it a bit difficult in terms of you know getting supervised sauce and all that she was getting discouraged and she asked me what her cousin should do I said well how many supervisors has her cousin reached out to her she said five I said just tell her to reach out to more people um and then she suddenly she asked you she said she how did you even get your supervisor funding and I laughed and you know that question just made me go down memory lane because I started telling her the story and the story is always emotional it's very touchy my story I put my story in my Twitter uh one of my pink tweets from my Twitter but I mean there's nothing wrong with telling you the story also because I told her yesterday maybe you could have memory lane um I started to think about God's goodness in terms of where I was how I got here and how I was able to get there so at the time that we were thinking of relocating at that time I had already been refused the UK visa when they eventually went to the UK to study so we started thinking of how to relocate so the first thing we thought about was Canada yeah so after going through the back and forth of trying to get a job in Canada I was scams somebody took money for me told me that they were going to be back together seven thousand dollars seven thousand dollars worth the salary deal but it's not to be a scout it was a job scam I had paid the guys some money before I started asking questions so that was the first huddle that I needed to cross after that I was like no actually you can't try and use this thing by yourself trying to ask for people who have been there so I talked to a friend of mine she was like you know I tried to study route um she was already in Canada and she used to study around so I did go and try to study route I did do my research I asked a few people and then I put in my application and a couple of months later I got feedback from ircc I went to check lo and behold had been refused for film series purpose of study and things like that it was very painful I remember I remember it very clearly I was sitting there on my cage and by time I opened it I saw the refusal I just closed my computer and lay down on the bed I started to cry um it was painful um but after that we decided to try Australia now the reason we wanted Charles trailer was that my younger sister her family had recently gotten in Australia permanent residents are well like you know we can do this yeah so um I was a primary applicant and I started going through the process Australia is a whole different story from Canada anywhere else they have their own English exams pte they have their own processes which are a bit not even a normal processes so I had to go and study for that PTA exam it was a computer exam like this uh computer English exams speaking reading and all that I also I also have to go back to all the places that I had worked before some places don't even let me enter because they didn't know me and those that I knew they had left begging them you know eventually collecting my friends let us because you know from Australia you need to get all these reference letters that show where you've worked I show some kind of similarity between your background and what you studied so that's what Australia was looking for took me several weeks spending money going around different places I eventually gathered everything and we paid I made the application and then a couple of months to later it came back refused um I remember very clearly sitting down in my guest room in the United whipping because I was like at this point what am I going to do um but someone said we should appeal which we did and the appeal of course wasn't free we had to like pay that money all over again and this monies I'm talking about nine dollars and for my entire family we paid it again I started waiting praying hoping that this time around they will look at the airport we've made and things will change go and behold after a couple of months came back again appeal was refused and at this point I mean if you've been in these shoes where you've had one door closed on your face after another door after another though you start to lose hope nothing discouraging um I mean it's so difficult to pick yourself up from something like that and to keep going and for me it was difficult um another point I was like you know when I'm done I can't like pick this anymore it's painful um I tried many tears I can remember in the office sometimes I would go into the toilet ladies and during my break time and I cry and cry and cry and then after break I clean my hand come out and then form of course the Madam in the office and nobody really knew what I was going through and then even at home like I wouldn't let my kids see me crying because you know they will be like Mommy what's wrong and I have to start lying and then I got to appoint my kids if they wanted to ask about this our movement they'll be like Mommy I've been refused us again that's what they were asking because they saw this refusal after refusal you know and they now sort of took it like the norm and I told them that's not our Norm we're not like going to be refused all the time eventually my husband came up with the U.S he has some friends in the U.S who told him you know what new people have come here to the U.S there are opportunities and all that so well we started the U.S phone went through all the getting invitation letter went through all the putting things together getting appointments and then we went for the interview I can remember it Claire as the two of us went there went through the ninja we walked to that lady and then she asked us a bunch of questions which we answering well we had everything had great jobs we have our brother account statement we have trouble history eventually the lady Joseph refused and she said refuse we just closed our file packed our things and went away we did not speak a word to each other until we got home not a word was said because I mean what could be said I was like these people have put our name in their system that's right if anywhere we go they were just like refusing us and at that point I mean we've tried all the countries so it didn't look like there was any hope um and for several months after that we probably did nothing nobody talked about relocating anymore because of course it was painful we had spent lots of money that wasted lots of time we've gone through a lot of emotional you know of levels up and down and then nothing was coming out of it it was painful but I have tired while I was like man this is what I wanted a couple of things happened which I probably shouldn't go into there's no time to go into and I was like you know what let me try this thing again and then I brought it up again I know how many um men can get a little bit irritated because you know all these things yes we have spent a lot of money and they are coming up with this relocation thing again no matter leave me I didn't want but of course I knew that this was something that he also wanted it's not simple as just me it's after a couple of weeks of going back and forth on it and asking he was like you know okay fine which one do we do now I was like okay let's try this Canada study again because um the the previous week is some a friend of mine had reached out to me I was actually I'm going to Canada Canada has approved my Visa I was like getting this kind of Visa they don't have two heads that means there's something that I don't know you understand I admitted to myself that I'm doing something wrong so I I decided to go attitude everything that I had I mean I wanted this so if I mean if they pushed me down 100 times like I always say I would get up 101 times so I went at it again I started to study I would call immigration lawyers in Canada from Nigeria those people were charging like 150 dollars for like 15 minutes or 20 minutes discussion I would pay those monies ask questions I talk people I knew were already Canada I did study I did research I did all that and when I knew I was ready I started reaching out to professors and that's a completely different story and I wanted funding I wanted to do a masters and I knew that I needed I needed a supervisor and I started early to reach out for myself and truly if I'm not counting let's say I'm not kind I'm being modest I reached out to like 50 supervisors or more I'm sure I was writing uh emails every day every day I come back from work let me say from 10 when everybody is asleep I would do that from 10 to like midnight just reading papers going through supervisors profiles reading their papers reading their profile trying to come up with a research topic that would suit them that they would like and then reach out to them by email I had this by where I had my um Excel template I'll put their names when I reached out to them when I when I reached out to remind them you know so I was reaching out to them systematically like that and guess what happened I started getting the responses and what the response is no no I'm not supervising no no my lab is full oh no I'm on sabbatical I'm not this oh no that it was a nose that started to come in so discouraging my goodness so discouraging I mean imagine working so hard doing that research send me an email and we're getting back is I'm sorry I can't take you on I'm sorry I can't take you on it was very painful and you know that things that I play any million like oh man this is another refusal because this one refusalem after another this is not going to work or even bothering but then there was also another part thank God I know I have been praying Thank God I'm a Christian thank God I've been reading the words so I would encourage myself with what I would tell myself no this will happen I started calling it into being I started seeing myself in Canada like if I'm sitting my my sitting room at home in Lagos I would imagine that it's in Canada I started doing those spiritual exercises refusing to give in to the depression refusing to give me to the discouragement still continue to reach out to this professors cry when they send me the refusals I'll probably cry like what is wrong with these people that what's wrong with this research that I said but then the next day I'll find myself again from my 10 to 12 to win it all over again and then I started getting some people who were a bit interested and then they'll set up a zoom meeting we would talk after this meeting I wouldn't hear from them coincidentally I had someone I think it was University of Saskatchewan if I can remember credit she was happy with it she took me on I was happy that finally this Search is Over only for her to come back and say no she's that I was pressuring her and she's not interested I should never reach out to hike and I think I've put that um that email on my WhatsApp status on my social media before certainly shared it with the kinds of the night that's Canada Japan system of how this lady crushed my spirit so to speak by coming back to blame me for her taking me on so when she did I knew that my search wasn't too bad and at that time I was applying to master's program I was applying to PHD programs like n on that comes I was gonna take it and how did I eventually now get this brother so I reached out to someone at Brock University his name is Ryan so Professor I reached out I like this research and I developed my proposal sent him an email and then he sent back to me and said you know what he likes my proposal but unfortunately he's going on sabbatical he won't be able to take me on because he won't be taken to the citizens on Spotify but he did say that he has this colleague who would like my my proposal you know that I should send it to her and this was someone I didn't even consider when I was looking at people you know to send people's also like I didn't tend to hide it I mean at first but because he had said I just forwarded the email to her like this person has recommended me to you and said that you I mean you should have a look and she did have a look it's arranged for a funny time and then we did have that Skype with it and he and we just hit it up talked about her research that our mind thought about you know how I put our researchers meet um and we sort of hit it off we talked for more than an hour or start talking about other things and she told me know what writes your proposal send it to me I'm going to look at it she did help me make some corrections I did my sop said and at this time you know all the times that I've been receiving those no's all the all the secret years open tears all the pain discouragement started to dissipate of course I hadn't even gotten the the I haven't gotten the funding or the admission but the fact that someone there was following up on me talking to me positively was very encouraging and eventually after some weeks she didn't come back to say you know what yes they are going to give you admission it wasn't even the school that told me first she was the one that told me and it was after she told me a couple of weeks after that I did get the funding and I did get the admission it was like it was like a happy day to that point it was like the happiest day from the experiences that I'd had with this whole jackpot scene it was like there was finally light at the end of the tunnel yeah at least I had something to work with if I was going to even apply for Visa there was something to put first ask okay this is what I'm using to apply yeah so I mean it was it was it was a good day it was a good day and that feeling uh was like what all the trouble had gone through what all the wahala or the refusals or the tears so um So based on my research because I've done all this research I had called immigration lawyers and made notes I started applying to um submit my Visa and at this point of course the other people in my family were now picking up like okay fine so we're finally making some progress and all and I did you know because I had done all this research I had my ex I've been writing my sop all the while that I've been reaching out to professors my sop was months in the works I work on it a little bit every day and by the time it was done I read it I knew that it was perfect it was perfect I sent it to someone who usually like does Sops for people and then when he looked at me was like wow how do you write this you know what I just say it is an award-winning sop and I did send that off with my application I started waiting for Visa you know how it is now um but by God's grace I wasn't like at this time I was camera that I that I was at the other times when we're doing all the other Canada Australia USCS camera because I knew I'd gone to the work I knew that you know I'd seen myself in this Canada and envisioned it I had seen dreams what dreams that I made up and dreams that were real dreams I knew this was it and not surprisingly like a couple of months after I did get the request to go into Medicals and when I got that request I knew that this was it I can remember getting that email that do not reply Iris this email and I went to my computer put it on and I was staring at the computer check now check out like man if I check that this is a turning point if I check this email it's either going up or going down something is about to change my life is about to change in a positive or A negative way but I was like no it's going to be positive uh funny enough I didn't open the email that day I think I opened it maybe this third day I don't know I was too scared I thought they opened it I did see the Medicals and then after that I did see the approval so that's how I went through so I mean someone can look at me and be like oh she's having fun look at Canada and all that it wasn't easy and there are quite a number of people are going through all those refusals like I I get people who call me and cry and I cry with them cry together I get people who call me and runs and I kind of understand I don't get angry I encourage them I'm like see you have two choices you can stop right now and not do this again or you can pick yourself up and continue against that it is a process and it is a project yeah sometimes when you're in a project there are like things that don't go according to plan but you don't certainly just stop your life doesn't stop because things are not going well you have to pick yourself on you know from the floor wherever life throws you you have to get up and push life back yeah so those are the choices I tell them but then I understand when someone calls and they're ranting with someone calls and they're angry or they're sad or they say oh you know what my spouse is not supporting well you know I'm just doing all on my own or I've reached out to like 10 supervisors and no one is responding or my Visa was refused those things happen I mean it is what it is that is life and you know why they say that good things come to those who wait or those who fight for it good things are not easy like if it was every one of us would be a billionaire every one of us will have our dreams every one of us would have a dream house dream car dream everything but no it's not everybody that has those things it's only the people who actually go after it okay so you might be discouraged you might be wondering if this thing is going to work you might be thinking of other options I have been there if you scam I have a scam if it refused when I filled my Canada application visa application the last time and you know where they say have you been refused any country I had a list there my Australia is too time Canada yes UK yes it was all there USA yes I feel they lined it up for them there that yes I've been refused all these countries it doesn't it didn't affect it it doesn't mean that you will not be um given this it's actually when you don't tell the truth when you tell it like they're like oh you like that's when they latch onto that you lied so we cannot even believe anything in any in all of this application that you sent so that it puts some kind of um you throw some kind of negative light on the entire of your application can you imagine that just because you said no when you should have said yes because you said yes well you forgot that ah in 2007 I was 90 years recently four forgetful everything that it doesn't show any negative light so I just felt that I should say this tell a bit of my story I know that the way I've told the story is sounding nice but the experience of it was once that you can see just like you say you're crying I've cried more if you say you're angry I've been angry but I'm so angry with God I'm angry more if you say that they've been refusing you I don't know what would have been there see and I got up and I didn't get up because I'm strong God because I'm too I had support from family I had support from God I had to come from church as well for friends and friends who encourage um and then of course I had a fighting experience um advising a spirit I wasn't going to give up like that even though life didn't want me to to continue I was hitting my head on the wall so I encourage you to go on and pick yourself up if this is what you want eventually life is going to have to make way and give you what you want because this is out you actually want and life can fit okay so I'm encouraging you I'm wishing you the best I'm rooting for if you need someone to rant to someone to cry to I am here for you if you need guidance on step-by-step guides come to Canada is in study route using work permits using Express entry we have products for those three we have for study route which is the Japan system we have for the expression you have for the work permit these are three ways you can actually come to Canada Express entry also involves the prevention of any program which Canada is concentrating on in 2023 so they're bringing lots more people to the promotion because they want to encourage people to go to these other provinces that people don't like to go so these are opportunities you can latch on to trust me when I was trying to relocate all the countries in New Zealand is it all I knew the immigration process yeah I studied all of them so this is what you should do when it comes to moving to Canada study all of it and if you want any guidance you want to get the Japan system I'm going to put the links below this video if you're watching this or maybe social media I'm going to put the link so just explain Ed don't give up don't think you're negative I'm going to share it to a friend of mine who went through a process where you would think that this one is not going anywhere but she did go somewhere you know I like stories like that stories of people who I probably hit the bottom and nobody thought they would get up but they did get up and they didn't win so I'm wishing you the best don't forget like this video if you're watching this on YouTube please subscribe and I'll see you in the next one apply [Music]
