Five Things Life Has Taught Me.

 Five Things Life Has Taught Me.


1. Operate beneath the hype.

 There is no need to announce your intentions, show results. Make plans don't announce it. Make moves, cook in silence, master your strategy but keep your cards close to your chest, when the time is ripe you can lay it down and checkmate. Hype is noise without showing working. It is a feel good energy but it never gets things done.


2. Favour is a flavour. 

Your success is not determined by hardwork alone or how smart you are, you need favour too. Two people can apply for the same visa, under similar circumstances, one person will get refused, the other gets an approval. People have gotten jobs because they were remembered. It is favour to get assigned a good Immigration officer. Favour will speak for you where your hardwork has no representation. 


3. Not all doors open when you knock. 

Not all doors respond to knocking. There are some doors that will not open because you are not ready. Some will open if you put in more effort. Other times, it is wisdom to know when to stop knocking on some doors and move on. The strength of every door is rooted in the mind of the one knocking on it.


4. Success is not cheap talk, it is hardwork. 

If you want to succeed in life, live a soft life, there is a price to pay. You need to burn the midnight oil, change your habits, make efforts, improve your skillsets, Japa and refine your mindset altogether. Talk is cheap, soft life is not.


5. Change your environment, change your life. 

It goes without saying that your environment makes or breaks you. Sharks don't swim in pools.

Tips To Enable You Japa Within A Year

 Tips To Enable You Japa Within A Year


Everyone intends to Japa for a good life or for better opportunities abroad, the biggest hurdle however is connecting the dots to allow you relocate within one calendar year.


I have to caveat that Japa requires money but of the truth, you need to have all the money to pursue Japa especially if there are alternatives.


Here are some useful tips.


1. You don't need all the money. 

Best believe that while Japa is capital-intensive, you don't need all the money to achieve your dream. Don't wait till you get 30 million naira or any other currency to take next steps towards your Japa next steps. If it is study visa to Top A countries, look for a school that offers the same course for less the fees, offers bursary scholarships or discounts and finance options. This way instead of paying $40,000 for say XYZ University, you can get same course for less in a state university for lower. The goal is to Japa for less and within your means. Also instead of pursuing a Msc with your limited means, you can pursue a Diploma for far lower the cost and this does not take away your chances of securing a job afterwards. 


2. Explore cheaper country options.

 A key factor stagnating many from Japa is the fixation on traveling to Top A countries. The truth is while this should be desired, it shouldn't be the finality of your options. There are other countries that are offering the course you are applying for and if you look well, you can start from there and re-plot your graph again to re-japa.


3. Take shorter courses.

 There are many countries that offer short courses that pay less tuition fees and the proof of fund requirement is less. While many of these courses don't have post-study visa opportunity, it is certainly worth the try rather than waiting endlessly in the absence of a scholarship and grants. It is important to weigh your options for visa longevity if you take this option.

 

4. Explore alternative visa options. 

There are other visa options outside study pathways to accelerate your japa dreams. Don't settle for visit visa as the final option for your Japa. Your skill and experience counts for something and several visa types including exceptional talent, skilled migrant and other work visa types may just be right for you and if you start in good time, you can land the visa within a year.


5. Get consultation. 

There are things you don't know and as long as you don't know, you are limited in terms of the options you can explore to Japa. Consult with people so they can guide you to make the right decision.


There will never be perfect conditions but ripe opportunities. While money will always be a critical factor in Japa economics, don't let it limit you from taking steps.

Top Tips on How To Plan Your Japa Journey.

 Top Tips on How To Plan Your Japa Journey.


Japa is possible with the right move. With careful planning and guidance abroad is always within reach. Planning how to Japa whether by study, Residence or other legal viable pathway requires that you make hay while the sun shines.


Here are some helpful steps.


1. Count the cost.

 One thing you have to settle early is that Japa will cost you something. Whether it be flight ticket, visa fees or time and resources. Counting the cost early will save you from falling into the cesspit of desperation and uncertainty. If you are seeking to Japa via work visa, it makes sense to know what is the proof of fund requirements and the cost implication. Same goes for Residency and study. To think Japa is free but not cheap.


2. Don't leave it for late.

 Japa many atimes takes time. You can't control visa appointment. Wait times and visa processing. You also cannot determine when the government will change immigration policies. It pays to plan well in advance. Do your backgrounders early. Get info. Seek consultation early. Rally to get the information you need to get ahead. Japa is 40 percent information and 60 percent activation.


3. Gather your documents ahead in advance. 

Getting your documents early will save you time. Get your transcripts early. Get your degree certificates on time. Take up extra certification courses. Build your proof of funds. Do your language test, certificate evaluation and all that is needed ahead of time. It is always better to be well-prepared than underprepared. For example, Ontario government recently selected medical doctors from the EE pool with low CRS score. Australian and New Zealand Immigration have done similar moves in the past. Those that had all their documents got their PR easy. Move in the direction of your goals before the goal post changes.


4. Plan for alternatives. 

Have a back up plan. There are several routes to Rome. For instance if you are applying for study in Canada and you are not getting in, spread your tentacles to other countries. Alternative mapping is like casting your bread upon waters. If one ticket cut, one ticket may enter. Apply for all opportunities, whether work visa, Residence visa, Provincial Nomination, Skilled Migrant. If you seek you will find.


5. It takes a village. 

With the rising cost of living, you have to accept that you may not be able to achieve Japa all by yourself. Rally support. Ginger your folks and kin to back you up. Get info from those that have gone ahead of you. There are several Japa communities out there that offer backbone support to your Japa dreams whether it is by info sharing or offering guidance.


Your Japa dreams are valid. Planning well will get you there. Japa is money but more importantly it is all about strategic planning.
