From Facebook to New Zealand. I was at the mall in New Zealand and in front of me was Joyce smiling, surrounded by her family. She calls my name, "The Loaded Man" and mentioned she reached out to me early in January. Voila! a couple of months later, she is here in New Zealand with her family. I couldn't contain my joy and had to capture the moment.

I have lost count of the people I have met from Facebook in New Zealand. I have three Nigerians and their family living on the same street as I do and I am always proud to know I was part of their journey.

Five things you can do with New Zealand Visit Visa.

Among the Top A countries, New Zealand easily has more value for its visitors visa than any other country.

Here are the five things you can do with it

1. Convert to a Seasonal Employer Work Visa. Still the biggest catch for New Zealand. This visa allows you to work legally for a Recognised Seasonal Employer in the Agric (farming, horticulture, forestry) industry.

2. Work as Digital Nomad. For those in the Tech industry, you can stay, live and work remotely in New Zealand for up to nine months.

3. Take on short-term study of up to 3 months without applying for a study permit. For me, this is so cool.

4. Search for jobs: you can utilize your visit visa to job search across different sectors. Remember the definitional word is "search".not work. If you secure one, then you need to convert your visa type. Ensure your job is with an accredited employer.

5. Enjoy New Zealand: New Zealand is one of the top travel destinations in the world. A little paradise tucked somewhere in the Pacific. Visiting New Zealand should be number on your bucket list. We are among the first countries in the world to see sunrise and surelt to see the new year! New Zealand is ahead of the world.

Japa tips for the day.

Japa becomes more fulfilling when you have permanent stay. The faster your pathway to PR the better. Before Canada busted the bubble for Diploma study route, it was one of the easiest pathways to PR. Today it is a little complicated.

Here are tips that can help you.

1. Settle for courses that are shorter but on the in-demand list. On completion you have a higher propensity to secure a job and thereafter apply for PR.

2. If you don't have Msc of which the best bet is PhD in New Zealand as it is affordable, please settle for 6 months or 1 year Diploma. If you are not exactly sure of what to study, Healthcare and IT are ready options.

3. Split it. You have a family and you want them to Japa with you but your finances suggest otherwise, break the Japa. Go first, settle on a work visa and invite your family there after to the country.

4. A Diploma holder will secure PR faster than a PhD holder. Different outcomes but essentially one is faster and closer to the goal. For the most part you want PR.

New Zealand is not far, it is only far from Nigeria & Africa. It is a non-stop flight to the USA, Canada and most part of Asia.

Tips when applying for a Visa to attend conferences/event abroad.

Attending conferences, academic events, business meetings and highly publicized events requires that you get it right from the beginning to avoid rejection when you put in your application.

I have attended more than 35 conferences in 19 countries of the world and here are some useful tips:

1. The calibre of the conference matters: not all conferences, or events advertised abroad carry weight. Some are predatory and unserious with pricey registration fees and attractions but very light weight in value. Immigration always know these types of conferences and applying for them automatically means you have a very high chance of denial from the start.

A pro-tip here is to ensure that the convener of the conference is a reputable one with well known credentials. This can be a university, a reputable organization with known business and the conference body has a track record that is verifiable online. Be mindful, that they have a website doesn't mean it is reputable, you need to do your due diligence before you part with your money.

2. Letter of invitation/acceptance and support letter: Always ask the conference convener to give you a letter of formal letter of invitation/acceptance of your registration. The letter is key to your visa application. Also, if you are coming from Africa, ask for a letter of support for your visa application. This will serve as the cover letter to the Embassy.

3. Attend to speak or deliver a paper: You have a higher chance of visa approval if you are attending a conference as a speaker, presenter or facilitator. Participation alone may not cut it.

4. Additional letter of support from your university or organization: This is the icing on the cake. If you are a student, get a letter of support and enrolment confirmation from your school. If you are working, ask your organization for a support letter or sponsorship/leave letter. It is better if you are attending at an official capacity. You need this.

5. Pay your conference fees and always submit the evidence.

6. If you have a paper or a poster presentation, add it to your application package.

7. If you have a business or you are an independent attendee, show demonstrable evidence of home ties and how attending the conference ties to what you are doing. Safe bet, get a letter from your former lecturer to back up your application.

There are several conferences in the world today happening every year and this will always remain a solid way to get your travel history to a Top A country.

Sequel to my last post on Healthcare pay in the UK.

It is amazing how current generation of Healthcare Assistants or Careworkers argue that the wages we received more than a decade ago matches what obtains now in the UK.

As at 2014 when I was a student in the UK, there was acute shortage of Healthcare workers. So severe was the shortage that the UK government had to bring in nurses and carers from Spain to work. Anybody could get into Healthcare and the pay was competitive. Bank staffing fetched more money and you can make x3 of the minimum wage working bank role.

The farther you worked, especially in remote areas of the UK, the more money you were paid. I travelled from Manchester to Yeovil to work and I got as much as £45/hr. I have seen many argue that the hourly rate is exaggerated and I shake my head in disbelief. First of all, it is not everything you know. The UK has changed over time. There are a number of followers here that worked shifts with me in the UK, out of respect for their privacy, I wouldn't be naming them.

Now, the Healthcare work in the UK is over saturated. Some rest homes pay minimum wage. Then, we negotiated pay for the distance and got it. I got £20/hr going to Royal Blackburn Hospital. I was paid £12.82/hr for a shift at Crewe Hospital. This was more than 10 years ago.

Bottom line, don't doubt everything if you can ask questions. I have several of my payslips from that era. In 10 years time, God sparing our lives, I wouldn't be surprised if many doubt that there was a time, Canada PR was one of the easiest in Top A countries or that the UK only offered 3 months post study work visa balance to students. Or that New Zealand once offered PR to students for choosing to school there several years ago.

Go and verify!

This was me as an Healthcare Assistant/Carer in the UK over a decade ago. I was on the night shift and very sleepy. Healthcare gave me plenty of money. I was earning £13.5/hr. I got a bank staff role in Yeovil and Portsmouth after my Msc. I traveled from Manchester. I was paid £45/hr. Three months of work alone, I was able to save over £9,000. Then, a study visa was approved for 15 months, so I made all the money I used for the study back. Though I went on a full ride scholarship.

Healthcare Assistant work pays! It pays everywhere in Top A countries.

I had no shame doing it.

Thank God for those days. It made these days worthwhile.
