Are you married or single parent? You can start the Canadian federal skill immigration programme that has taken large chunk of Nigeria middle class.

Most of my friends have relocated but I am not cut out for this abroad stuff. I wouldn't want to go and start life afresh at this my age and I seems comfortable here. God has been kind to me so far.

I believe that when my kids grows up, they will find their level. I don't need to deny myself some comfort and luxury just because I want my kids to have a better future. I need to enjoy my life why still young.

I travel and come back and can't enjoy a better place than Nigeria despite all our problems.

Start the process for Canada PR, it may take 3 to 5 years for you to be issued with permanent resident card.

Ensure you have sufficient fund, upwards of 4m and above in your account. Get your hubby to be involve to speed up the process.

you mean it might take 3-5 years to get Canada permanent resident visa from Nigeria ? are you talking about the duration of the process from Nigeria or when one land Canada ?

Duration it takes from starting the process in Nigeria and receiving it from the embassy in nigeria. Some could be longer.

Express entry process is done and dusted maximum of 8 months...Infact most times its average of 6 months once all needed docs are ready..IELTS results,ECA and co....if u av those 2 already go start now this January.. By September /October you will be in cannyland....

Stay 4 years straight in cannyland and apply fr citizenship..... Then u can now come back to naija...but u v given your kids lifetime opportunities, that's if u include them in ur application....


Note'..You dont need an agent for the process at all..... You can do it yourself...

thanks for this information, I'm really glad . I want to start the process and my husband and kids ll b involve, what's the first step first ? I guess hubby and I will have to write the IELTS first before any step?
I have gone through the Canada express entry thread and most of the abbreviated words are confusing me .I dont understand what most people are saying there that was why I wanted to use an agent

It's also nice madame

Most of the Visa you get from agent is Temporary Resident Visa.

What you need is Immigrant Visa (PR), there is a thread on nairaland for Canadian Express Entry follow it Bumper to Bumper. If you need more clarifications you can PM some of the active guys on the thread excluding me.

May your dreams come to pass this year!

Smiles...its no problem ma...

Yes ,You and hubby will write IELTS and then immediately go start ur ECA- Educational Credential Assessment for you and your husband. ..Evaluate your highest qualifications ...if u have bsc and MSC .evaluate only your msc...

The ECA can take up to 3 months or less depending on your university... You tell the skul to send your transcript to either WES or ICES depends on ur choice...

Also for the IELTS,pls give it your best shot especially the listening aspect...cos from my observation ,that aspect drops ones marks a lot...


Then, also for Proof of Fund(POF) for living expenses.Depends on the total no of ppl involved in the process... I.e. you,your husband and kids..if its a family of 6(4 kids,hubby n u) u need approximately 9 million for that .....meaning,you need to present a 6 month bank statement showing minimum of #9m ...

You will be spending approximately #1.3m for processing for 6 of u.....




So when your IELTS result is out and ur ECA is ready,just go to CIC website and fill in the form for ur interest, then there is a cut-off points for ITA(Invitation To Apply) which is arnd 440 ...then if you meet the points for the draw,you will be invited to apply...

Pls lemme stop here

Feel free to ask your questions pls....

.hi Baba, kindly advice me. I just wrote my ielts and want to begin my eca. Two issues:
1/ I have a Ph.D, but a banker here in Nigeria. In terms of job search in Canada do you suggest I evaluate my PhD alone or MSC and PhD?
2. If I have to evaluate both or one, pls suggest the evaluating agency I can use..
3. I intend leaving with my fiancé, should I also evaluate her degree? We not married yet buy will before we eventually begin CIC profile creation.

I am a thirty four year old mother of three.

At the moment, I am gainfully self-employed. I have a B.Eng in Chemical engineering

Sick and tired of Nigeria, I want to travel abroad to give my kids, my family a better chance.

I have on my wishlist for 2019 a goal to gain admission to study a professional course in a developed country abroad.

Please I need your wisdom, Nairalanders.

1st question: Which country outside Africa, Asia, will give me peace of mind, security, comfort and lowest racism if I relocate there with my children? I’m looking for a country that will allow me to permanently live in with my kids after i’m done with my professional course.

2nd question: What professional course would you advise me to study in this country abroad to give me the best chances of living a very comfortable, very good life there.

Your replies will be deeply appreciated.

Why don't you study some professional courses online and then use it to upgrade your Cv then search for a job in the country of your choice then start processing your travelling..
Just a suggestion..

I doubt the mother of 3, the new immigrant woman living with her 3 children in America, the country which pays more than others, would survive. Being a new immigrant it's all very expensive here, including the child care and the law here is very strict, you can't leave the children at home alone and the babysitter for 3 is too expensive, working even as a professional, is not enough to afford the child care here and being a new immigrant, the lady can't get welfare and benefits on her children, not in the first years at least. My advice, if the lady wants to immigrate, she needs to leave her kids with her family and send them money for living while she is working or studying abroad, then later to bring her kids to the foreign country when she is already established and knows how much does it cost. Traveling to another country with 3 children, it could be a disaster, the developed country authorities even could take her children away if they see she has not enough for feeding them and taking care of them.
