johnnyvid: Some of you are just naive. The op posts are true and that guy was right. Many Canadians cannot save $4000 in a year. He knows better but you will argue. That is why I do not tell people anything. Travel to Canada yourself and suffer. Experience is best teacher. 5 Likes |

DexterousOne:You are a clown and a proud one for the matter. Over 50million Nigeria which is more than the total population of Canada have over 500k in their account. Just because you choose to be a lazy youth doesnt mean people are not making things happen. Link up with the right people to change your mindset and financial status.

NuclearBomber: I agree with this post... But also remember, many household in Canada have a mortgage with average payment of $1,500 per month, that's $18,000 per annum. That's an equity of around #5m. How many Nigerians can save #5m in a year? 1 Like 1 Share |

Engr2000: We are in trouble in this country. Many Nigerians do not reason well. You cannot be converting currencies when comparing salary/living in two countries. There they earn dollars and spend in dollars. Here, we earn naira and spend in naira. You cannot convert in Canada and compare to Nigeria. smh. I find it hard commenting on this forum my goodness. Nigerians can sell their fortune or leave decent jobs to run to Canada, that is their problem. But many here who did that are full of regret. I will not tell you not to come. I will just keep quiet.

So because you are earning in dollars now, if you want to send money home, you will not convert it, Nigeria is a poor nation, if you are to make it big the odd are little unlike traveling out to places like USA and Canada, those people complaining that the place is bad are either unlucky or entered illegal in which they are restricted of many things, what did you expect them to say before |

Dear all, I am currently leading a major study with the Africa Polling Institute (https://africapolling.org/) on Nigerians migrating to Canada for work and study and would like your help to complete this questionnaire: https:///gR_jvM7. It takes only 5 minutes to complete and the information would only be used for research purposes. Kindly help us share to platforms of Nigerians residing in Canada and those who might be planning to move to Canada (or elsewhere). Thanking you in anticipation. With best regards.

I think like this we can speak not just about Canada but even about every country that is new for you when you move in. I do agree that you have to check out everything about the country where you want to move but it doesn't mean that this will make your moving and accommodation easier. If you want to find out about it just go there on a short journey. Use an online guide and plan your trip property and like this, you will be focused on the specific things that you can find out just being there and not reading on the internet. Good luck! |

Canada is just one big country with the inhabitants of Lagos state. A country with a population of 38 million has limited opportunities for foreigners. Thats just the bitter truth compiled with harsh weather. Morale of the story is that, If you doing well in Nigeria, rethink before moving to Canada. Some online reports have it that the Express Entry is just an extortion program as immigrants are welcomed with the disappointments on the long-run. In as much as this cant be said for all cases, it constitutes the bulk. 2 Likes |

Please come to Canada if you can. Ignore anyone discouraging people from progressing and making solid plans for their lives. Why should you discourage people from going to where you have gone to, simply because you failed or think you failed. Canada is a land of opportunities. I believe with hard work and God on your side, you will succeed. Read what John Zibiri wrote about Nigeria. "I worked and lived in Abuja for 18 years. I ran my own private company from 2001 until 2014. Two million of the likes of Buhari cannot change Nigeria. Everything is wrong with Nigeria. The Director won't give you contract except you pay up front . The banks won't give you loan except you concede a certain percentage. The man supervising the contract won't pass the job except you play ball. The clerk won't pass your file for payment except you rob his palm. The accounts department won't raise your payment voucher or cheque unless you see them. I can go on and on. The worst thing is that it has become a norm that nobody sees anything wrong with. If you think otherwise, they begin to think you are sick and not normal. If you try to stand in their way, you put your life at risk. If you get killed there is no justice system in place to seek redress and bring the perpetrators to book. The police is corrupt , the Judiciary is the same. Even the religious circle is not spared. Everything in Nigeria revolves around corruption. Nobody cares about anybody. No law and order. I looked from my left to right, everybody is only desperate about one thing "money". They will kill anybody and anything that stand between them and money. I am an electrical engineer with MNSE and COREN. The system don't care about my qualifications. Distribution and transmission jobs are given to alhajis, pastors, friends and relatives without any basic skills. I started asking myself, how do I convince my kids that education and hard work is rewarding? When fools, agberos and touts are running the country from the local govt to the Presidency. Is this what my four sons will also go through? In 2014 I decided I have had enough. I decided I was leaving. I migrated to Australia with my family. Don't put yourself in harm way for any reason. The problem of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians living in Nigeria. Try starting a gate house in your village, everybody wants to profiteer from it. The bricklayer, the carpenter, the mason and even your brother who claim to be supervising on your behalf. They are corrupt, morally bankrupt and selfish. Everybody there thinks about himself and nobody is thinking about Nigeria . You don't have to be the one to go there to change anything. Let those under the hammer start the revolution." 9 Likes |

Well, this is basically the experience in other countries as well. It is never the green land you envisioned it to be but you have to make way for yourself. Life abroad in general is tough, especially for an African. It is still not enough to discourage people in Nigeria from traveling. A honest warning is good though. You should also know that a lot of Africans don’t like to change cities. They’d rather stay in that city that is offering them nothing and keep complaining. Instead of relocating to find opportunities else where. Canada is a big country with a stable economy and so is Germany, UK, France, US, etc. but everybody wants to live in London, Berlin, Paris, Montreal, Toronto and keep complaining. Yes bigger cities offer better opportunities but not everybody will succeed in a big city. Follow your path and don’t be a humpty dumpty. 5 Likes |

Please don't mind this lady ! I relocated Canada in 2018 and I have had no regrets. I was earning over 800K/ Monthly in Nigeria before leaving Nigeria and I am very happy for the decision. It was worth about 3076 cad now the same money is worth only about 2200 Cad. Lesson Learnt - Building your future and investment in Nigeria Naira is the worst mistake anyone can do. I wish I moved to Canada long time ago …. I would have achieved so much more and acquired greater wealth ! I am yet to see any Nigerian begging for money in Canada... or serious about going back to Nigeria permanently . The only people that go back are those that get work with the multinational oil companies in Nigeria and they get their Canadian passports first or leave their families here. Things may be difficult at first in Canada, but the system here supports you till you stand on your feet. You can work for as long as possible and earn good money legitimately . You regain your sanity and your primary focus would be to earn money because every other thing is in place. Once you get your Canadian Passport your global horizon increases. There are global opportunities for business and jobs every where in the world. What is critical is the right education, training, exposure and connections which Canada offers you. Nigerian system is designed to favor mediocrity and tribalism and I am very sure with this system embedded in Nigeria, things may get worse in Nigeria. 6 Likes |
