Hint for WASSCE Students Interested in Relocating to Canada

Facebook user Chorkor Millionaire shared valuable insight with Nigerian students on his page.

In his post, he claimed that with a budget of $500 (N383,355), individuals can register for college and cover visa expenses in Canada.

He advised those with secondary school results like WAEC, NOVDEC, NECO, and others to apply to colleges.

The man emphasised the importance of a legitimate bank statement and highlighted that a combination of $500 (N383,355) for school fees and a visa could potentially lead to obtaining a Canada visa.
