Episode Overview: Bola Tinubu's Leadership and Its Impact on Nigerian Immigration
In this episode of Japachronicles, we discussed President Bola Tinubu's leadership over the past year and its profound effects on immigration patterns, particularly for Nigerian students. We explore the Dubai visa ban and the economic challenges driving the desire to emigrate.
We analyze the significant depreciation of the Naira against the US and Canadian Dollars, noting that the exchange rate for the CAD has soared from N333 to N1027 since May 2023. This dramatic shift has escalated the cost of studying abroad, placing immense financial strain on Nigerian families.
In light of these challenges, we highlight the growing interest in scholarships and financial aid as essential tools to ease the burden. We discuss the fluctuations in student visa applications to Canada and review Canadian student visa policies since May 2023.
Our conversation aims to encourage students and families to explore all available resources and opportunities amid the country's deteriorating economic situation.
