Sweetvie:
Canada

ourunivibes:

Sweevie its been a while. Can you check your email i sent you a DM

ourunivibes:
I'm contemplating on picking one of this country since i have already gotten admission in both countries.

So here is the deal .... which do you think have better survival rate and opportunity for a first time traveller? Give your reasons please

lilbro:


I have Lived in both countries, presently residing in the USA! your question is very ambiguous, be precise......what are your concerns list them and i will share my experiences with you and hope that helps you in making a decision!

optimusprime2:
It depends...
It's like asking you which leg do you start with when you are about to walk.

Both countries have their pros and cons and the funny thing is those pros and cons still depend on the individual situation.

Bottom line, I can't outrightly say "Canada is better than the US or Otherwise" because it depends on a lot of things.

I will give you an example, the US labour market generally pays more than the Canadian labour market however things like paid sick days, vacation days, maternity leave are not really engrained in the US labour market it's very employer specific, however in Canada it's a right regardless of your employer.

ourunivibes:


So in context US pays more as per job aspect.



In terms of residency which is more easier?

tensazangetsu20:
Move to canada become a citizen then go work in the US with a TN visa.

Jahzrockballer:

pardon my ignorance, please what's a TN visa?

tensazangetsu20:

Work visa for countries under NAFTA. Mexicans and Canadians can work in the USA using the TN visa due to being in the north American free trade agreement

ourunivibes:


Okay thanks for coming. I mean as a first timer in terms of survival and settlement.

ednut1:
The only realistic way to get residency in USA these days is through marriage. Canada anyday, collect ya citizenship and move later to USA if you wish.

horlahsunbo225:

If you don't know anything just keep mute, I've countless of friends here that filed NiW with just masters and they got it. Going to top school is not a criteria for NiW.

Gerrard59:

Everyone has friends who have done these things, but we are looking at the numbers. What he can control is better than the things he cannot. Many would have tried it if it were that easy to get NiW. That is the truth. Regarding elite institutions, my point is: if na so NiW easy, why have these folks with stellar qualifications and publications not done the same rather than crying on LinkedIn? The probability of getting US citizenship via NiW, Marriage and Work sponsorship compared to the Canadian route to citizenship is low. It is easier and faster to become a naturalised Canadian than an American. So the best bet is to accept the Canadian offer, play delayed gratification and move to the US. You win in the long run. He is even better than most of us who still admire the US but are in other countries with nothing like a TN visa. A Nigerian who has a British passport is treated the same as a Swiss. However, Canadian-Nigerian gets preferential treatment, especially in some sectors rife with startups that don't have time for H1B process. Even Indians are now encouraged to apply to Australian universities, get naturalised and apply for EB1 visa which gives Aussies preferential access to the American labour market.

Then a Nigerian should now let go of a fully funded offer from a Canadian university when there is a sure pathway to citizenship and preferential access to the US labour market?

Not all Nigerian students get naturalised via NiW (https://www.nairaland.com/7535720/nigerian-students-now-americans-how_, but literally all Nigerian students in Canada have a sure pathway to becoming naturalised citizens. Tumbo-tumbo is not good when there is a sure bet offer in hand.
