hello everyone and welcome to the channel so today i've got a very special guest her name
is chadna today i'll be talking about like how she has been able to get permanent residency in the uk
the very first question for you shanta is can you just give a brief introduction about yourself like
when you came here which goes like did you did hi my name is sadhna i'm from nepal i came here in
2010 for my bachelor's degree i really didn't know that i will be staying this long in this country
so first i did was two courses in college that was called hmc and hindi that's like a higher
national diploma yeah and after that we got two years psw yeah and they say from the same call
as motherville college now it's changed the name to new lanarkshire college something like that
and after two years uh psw we came to glasgow california university with two years masters
and two years dva so that's how like i came on a 10 years route as a student visa
just to kind of summarize so she did four years of her bachelor's yes then two years of psw
so we got six years and two years of your master's yesterday and two years of t dva dpa that's like a
below level of your uh same phd category yeah but different than the phd is called dbas like there's
some people who really don't get the visas or been selected for pa phd they can go on a dba yeah
like what do you think about now like 10 years is quite a long time to get a permanent residency in
the uk and the other option is a five-year route where like once you finish your taking let's say
if you come here for masters uh you can straight away if you get a sponsorship from a company you
have to stay for five years in the as a worker visa you'll be able to get permanent residency
so like what's your opinion like is it easy to get the sponsorship from a particular company
like can you compare like during your time when you came here in 2010 versus now actually
like see when i came in 2010 uh like the visa route or the sponsor it was quite easy because
most of the restaurants and particular businesses they were offering the sponsor visa as well
but uh looking at the presence the past situation and the prison situation is totally different now
yeah like if you have your good grades on your study like you have good marks and your your
skill wise and everything yeah then you get the sponsorship from the particular companies we
can offer you yeah but uh how it was before in the past it's not that much easy right now yeah
but that doesn't mean that you won't get it yeah you will definitely get it if you work hard for it
yeah yeah so like definitely that's a tip like before like it was like the local restaurants
like local businesses could sponsor you but now like they don't have the right to sponsor you so
no it's just some of the big companies which are able to sponsor you moreover i've made i've made a
separate video i've like listed down about 40 000 companies which are sponsoring the international
students so the link will be in the description box below feel free to check out which company
will be able to sponsor you so as you mentioned like if you've got good grades uh you're doing
some placements internship you're getting the experience you'll be able to get the sponsorship
in the uk and moreover there's like some post study work fees are available which again act as
a backup plan you can stay for two years extra now my other question is like uh what about your life
after getting p like what are some of the benefits uh like like as compared to student life as versus
now you've got a permanent residency what are things you can do actually now after getting a pr
the first thing is like you you're happy enough to be called as a british definitely because
like your total status changes as from where you came from like i was nepalese then i became as a
british so that's totally different experience and there is some pros and cons for being the british
the pros will be like you get the benefit from the government like your uh financial the health
wise you're free if you have a children your children get to get the study for free
all right and what do you say you have like and you ca to get the buy the house as well like i
mean you can you have no restriction that like you are a student or because you already got your
british passport a permanent resident and the cons will be like uh you can't go back to the
like sorry you can't bring your family to living with you together permanently of course they can
come on tourist visa like but that will be for first time it will be for six months and after
that again you renew it will be for one year two years but that's again different because it takes
a lot of process time yeah yeah and the of course you miss your family and after being a british
that again the cons is like you have to apply as a tourist yourself because you can't go on your
own uh passport like nepalese passport you need to apply for your visa these and that and you need to
wait how long it will take to come yes so long process so so i think like majority of us like
our pros like your if you've got a child you've got child benefits your access to public funds if
you're not able to get a full-time job so they're like and she can do like business activities she
can open her own restaurant for example any business you want to do so like those are the
pros the only cone is like about your friends like you can't bring paints over here you just need to
bring them for your visitor visa which lasts only six months and you again have to renew so you have
to spend like kind of expense it's kind of a fixed expense for you if you want your parents in the uk
and like what do you think like let's say if you bring your plates over here would they enjoy this
life because i i mean like there's a cultural difference as well you know when the pal was
here so like what like have you got some thoughts on that yeah i mean like few of my friends they
brought their parents um to be honest they really didn't enjoy and because like see
our lifestyle yeah is working lifestyle so if you work six days you have got only one day's day off
yes yes so you can give that full time to your parents as well and if your parents came newly
they can't even enjoy because they don't know the place no and the first thing is language barrier
because they don't know if you are in scotland of course the scottish accent is totally different
than the in the english actual yeah so that's the most thing and when they come the weather oh
my god this scottish whether you know yourself so they're different yeah very different because how
with this in back home we can see four seasons in like the time-wise in here you can see four
seasons in one day the weather is like the biggest biggest impact i think our parents will not enjoy
so as she mentioned like for your peers it could be like some difficulty because it's a completely
different culture and this is like even like with my friends i've talked about like what a
place will feel when they're here and the other important point which you mentioned is like you
have to work here constantly you know and it's like same for her like as an immigrant and it
is also same for the local people over here like they work five days in a week and they've only
got two days and they're two days like they spend all their money which they have hold essentially
so it's kind of a working lifestyle over here and it really depends if if your parents will
be finding it suitable or not and the other thing would be like do you suggest students to actually
apply and come to the uk like is it like all worth it or not in your opinion as compared
to your life in nepal for example i would say it's totally worth it because like see i mean everybody
knows like in our asian country as nothing bad but like she has the sake of social security the
financial independent like independent by yourself yes like see being a girl like i was 19 when i
came over here so like being as a girl when i was 19 i came over here i had no idea what i was doing
the only thought in my mind was like i'm coming abroad that's what also i was i thought i was
coming to uk yeah i never thought i was coming to glasgow but they would see scotland but somehow
from my college they came and they did like a seminar for moderate college so from there only
we got to know about the motherville college that there is a college and to be honest they
were really helpful for the international student on that time i mean they arranged that someone
came to pick me up from the airport as well when i came in so it was really helpful from
them and it is really worth it as i said it you can be independent you can be who you are yeah
and like as a girl i mean our back home society you can see like see i can work in here 11 o'clock
in the night time 12 o'clock in the night and there is no one to tell me oh where you been
what are you doing and wearing the cloth wise what you have waiting what are you doing these were you
talking to the boys i mean who is calling there is so many restriction and the most important thing i
find it in here is like your social security i can work eleven o'clock two o'clock three o'clock in
the night time there is no nothing problem because you can see in the road there are police cars
going security cameras all over the lines traffic lights everywhere the social security in here is
so nice and the most important thing for anybody coming in here is they can be who they want to be
in here like definitely like i'm right now like a student but like i'm like financially independent
like i can do whatever i want again like for example right now it's like about half past 10
yeah it's about 10 o'clock we're recording this video like it's like like not like it's all good
you know it's all good over here so you really get that financial independence you can take your uh
life decisions yourself you don't have to depend upon your parents or anyone like your relatives
or anyone so these are all the things which are really worth it and also like there's a government
to take care of her let's say like tomorrow she'll lose her job so she has got access to the public
funds so there are like things in place moreover during covid uh like the country wasn't locked
on but still we were getting our salary through something called like a follow scheme so we will
still getting over 80 of wages so like there is like like if she's a one person the government
takes her decision into mind it's not like like like you know there's a value of life
like in the uk that's what i'm trying to say you guys so and any last message for the students
yeah the only thing i would love to say to everybody who is watching
his and whoever you are subscriber please remember one thing what you came for in this country
and what you want to be and never lose your hope because you are in the united kingdom i
mean that's why there is a word the in the the great britain because there is for some reason

you want to be that's all thank you very much sharna for ending it on such a positive note
