Could you please give reasons? Are the chances of getting a job as a foreigner less difficult compared to the UK? Education and or research standards better in Canada than the UK?

Universities in canada are affordable than the ones in britain
You stand a better chance of becoming a permanent residence after school
Ranked 8th safest country in the world, uk is 49th
There are more jobs in canada than uk. Cause in uk there are alot of ppl working illegally which makes it harder for non european to get a good job, ppl in uk are migrating to u.s and canada ... Baba make I no talk too much... Canada over uk

Canada for me.
More immigrants friendly - Canada by far (immigration is a big issue in the UK. Understandable because she is a small island country wit huge population density)

Job prospects - Canada all the world. You are not even allow to work in the UK after ur studies. Pack ur bag and head home grin

For the UK; you can get an excellent job in the UK, but you would be given just four months to do that.
When it comes to Oil and gas jobs all over the world and career wise, you are better off in the UK. The Oil extracted and method of extraction in UK, rest of Europe and Asia is very similar to that of Africa. The UK has better research universities and excellent scholars. It's also close to EU and the middle east.

In Canada, You would be given a 3 year work permit after studies in which may or may not help in securing a permanent residence.
Job-wise , Canada is not doing well at the moment. It has one of the most expensive oil to extract in the world (Oils sands and SAGD), hence the economy is badly affected by the low price of Oil. Things could get better though if oil price goes up.

Australia is an amazing country.

Advantages over Canada
Friendly climate,
better economy- richer country
natural resources abounds,
Higher minimum wage than Canada,
job prospects is superb too.

Disadvantages over Canada
Stricter immigration rules - Less immigrants friendly
Very far geographically
Dangerous and poisonous animals abound grin grin.. Sight of Snakes, vodka and other funny creatures is a normal daily occurrence
Less vibrant Nigerian community

Re: Britain Or Canada? by Abbeycity123: 4:35am On Apr 01, 2016
I think Canada Will better for you, There are lot of opportunity here, if you come to the University of Alberta for instance, It was recently ranked as the 4th best university in the World.

Also, Alberta province has oil, and the Calgary region is full of oil industry meaning you can easily fit in.

Thirdly, The prime minister is considering granting extensive stay to student after their studies and the time of studentship can easily be counted toward their PR application.

So make the right choice.

Take care!.
