      Hello I'm new and I just subscribed... I'm currently waiting for my acceptance letter.... Undergraduate program(4 years)... My school a year (including living cost and all) is 32000CAD.
      How much do you think my sponsor need in his bank account ?
      Is it still the same visa process with the graduate program?

    • @OnyekaAsamaka
      @OnyekaAsamaka  4 года назад

      David Adeoye Hi, thank you. I think it’s the same process. Also, your sponsor needs to have at least close to that amount as their balance.

    I'd do just about anything for a fragrance free zone. I returned to Nigeria in 2010 & the last 10 years have been a struggle. People bathe in their perfumes & the heat amplifies the scents something as simple as some brands of detergent trigger allergies. Most days are a struggle, I deal with blinding migraines. I've learned to avoid people & crowds to protect my health & sanity...

    • @OnyekaAsamaka
      @OnyekaAsamaka  4 года назад +2

      Aww I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this🥺

  • @adeolaadeyefa3574
    @adeolaadeyefa3574 4 года назад +11

    Another reason why most work/public places are scent free is because a lot of people have allergies, asthma or some respiratory issues. As per bottles,here in Calgary they actually charge a deposit for bottled water, juices,milk and the like. So you are actually supposed to take them to the bottle depot and you get your money back. As per the plastic bags I actually go with shopping bags now, cant continue to pay for bags that need up in the trash.
    Safe injection site and needle exchange programs were also something I learnt about while preparing for my professional exam..
    Nice video. 👍

    I just saw a video of yours and BOOM ! I loved it and subscribed immediately.
    I can’t believe that I smile and laugh sometimes as I watch you talk. The experiences are so real, and someone can relate to all of them even as you try to talk about some of the experiences so mildly.
    As for the politeness in Canada, I tell new comer friends not to get carried away by it because they can pamper you with politeness until you fall. 😀😀
    Canada for you to discover and some of us are still discovering.
    You are so real girl and I’m loving you so much already for this. Keep it up. 👍

    Fragrance free zones are partly for the environment but mostly because there are people with severe artificial fragrance allergies that could send them to the hospital.

    Great video.. quick input, bringing stuff from Nigeria might be cheaper but the tax you'll pay for it may be more than what you'll be paying for locally, assuming immigration control don't throw the food away.. If you have the time to visit Seattle, you can buy some of the stuff you need from some of the African stores and the prices are good. but you may need to check a few of them out to see which one meets your needs and priced decently.
    Also like to add, don't let your experience with the lady at the counter paint a picture on Americans in your heart - I've lived here for 16 years and I can tell you, people are just different and I have not allowed my interaction with an individual paint a profile pictures of others.. Congratulations on completing your graduate school and welcome to "Obodo land". You'll do great!

    Yes they give out those Needles to addict to prevent them for sharing she needles and passing disease like Hep C around. Also the site dose not only give out needles but also receive them. The client have to return the use needles to the site before getting a new one. This prevents them from disposing them unsafe.

      BJ Wake In Australia, you pay for the damn bags. 15 cents. And you can return them to some grocery stores for recycling.
      They also ask you if you want receipts. Helps reduce landfill.
      The tax on beverages in plastic bottles are to discourage you from buying them.
      Finally, a country like Australia, you need to think twice about every foodstuff you want to bring in.
      Btw, you can’t bring diary products in Australia. They won’t only dispose it, they’ll cease your whole luggage.
      If there’s a tiny ant in your box, they won’t take only the offending box, but likely your whole luggage.
