The REAL TRUTH about living and working permanently in Canada by Ruthrock(f): 5:19pm On Jul 10, 2019
The REAL TRUTH about living and working permanently in Canada


With the present condition of the country, I really
don't blame any Nigerian who is looking for a better
life for themselves and their family.

Truth is...Canada is a great country and home to
about 200,000 Nigerians

As a permanent resident in Canada, you enjoy

- Free quality education for your children

- Free and premium health care

But if you want to relocate to Canada, you have to
shine your eyes well, well so that you simply don't
waste a lot of money trying to process your relocation

Let's start with this...

(1) Canada targets to bring in 1 million immigrants
between 2018 to 2020

You probably know this already. For 2018 alone, the
Canadian authorities announced that they have now
welcomed 82,000 people this year alone.

1 million people is a lot but that does not mean
everyone who applies will get in

First, their 2 immigration programs suit people who are
between ages 22-45

If you are over 45, it will be difficult for you
to get in

If you are within this age range of 22-45 and you are
interested, then NOW is the time to make a move

That is because...

...

(2) Canada's Immigration Policies Change From Time to Time

What this means is this...

As more people apply and try to get into Canada, the
policies get tighter

The minimum requirements that got people into Canada 2
years ago won't get you in today

That means the best time for you to start processing
your relocation is today.

If you wait till 6 months time, well, the policies could
have tightened up by then making it more difficult for you

Another reason why many people won't get in is..

-

(3) Relocating to Canada is a big investment especially
if you are coming with your family

This is the simple truth

Relocating to Canada isn't for everyone especially if you
are struggling to put food on the table.

Don't believe anyone who says otherwise

Relocating to Canada will cost you a lot of money.

I can't give you a specific amount but here are some
of the expenses involved:

=> The permanent resident application fee alone
cost $550/adult and $150/child

=> The IELTS (English test) alone cost N75,000 per
person (Which your spouse will also do if you are married not compulsory for your spouse)

=> If you are moving with your family, well you know
you will be paying for their plane tickets.

If you think getting the funds to relocate to Canada
isn't a big issue for you, then the next thing you
ought to know is this

-

(4) The entire Canada immigration program is based
around what is called a CRS point

Once you are able to achieve a pretty high CRS point, 80%
of your job is done.

The CRS cut off point for each month is announced each month.

So, there is no constant figure for it.

For instance, on November 15, 2018, the cut off figure
announced for the Canadian express entry was 449

That means people who scored a minimum of 449 were issued
an ITA (Invitation to Apply)

Achieving this CRS point is the main key and it is calculated
based on factors like age range, education, work experience,
your use of English language etc

If you are able to achieve a high enough CRS point within
the next 3 months, you could start packing your bags for
Canada very soon.

Many people don't know how this works and that is why they
keep throwing money at various immigration agents and wasting
their money

Truth is, there is no need to waste your money on immigration
agents as regards moving to Canada

What you need to do first is figure out how to get a high
enough CRS point.

If you are truly interested in relocating to Canada, I think
you should watch this upgraded video that was put together
by Mr Victor Jegede

The video explains what you need to get a high CRS point
and successfully relocate to Canada without having to
waste a lot of money.

It is no longer news that Canada is one of the
best countries in the world with a perfect
system in place.

No wonder many Nigerians are relocating to
start a new life over there especially with
the condition of the country

I am not one to say "don't relocate"

If the conditions of this country is frustrating
you, then feel free to move.

Even our so called leaders and politicians have
second passports to other countries.

And they have also secured same for their close
family members.

With that said, if you intend to relocate to
Canada this year, there are 2 ways to do so.

(1) You can get a Canada immigration agent to
assist you with the process.

You can find many of them via Google.com

The 2 problems with this method are:

i. You will spend at least N2m in extra fees and
this fee won't be refunded if your application
does not go through. If you browse online forums,
you will come across various people's stories as
regards this

ii. You will still have to do most of the work
yourself even if your application goes through.
The agent will just collect his money to guide you.

--

(2) The second way is to handle the processing
yourself.

Many people don't do this because they lack the
necessary information on how to do this right.

If you already have all your documents right, you
can finish the process in 10 months.

If you handle your Canada relocation project
yourself, you are going to save a lot of money
as a result and even speed up the process.

Why do you have to pay an agent N2m or more when
you can use all that money to pay for your
flights and other important things?

Canada Won't Be Nigeria But It Can Be a Second Home

"If we all run away who will make things better"

That is the exact response I get from many people when
I talk about relocating to Canada

But here is what many people don't know

Relocating to a country like Canada isn't about
abandoning your country due to the current issues

People also move to Canada from countries like
Japan, China and the South American countries

It is about having a second and better option
which I think is wisdom in today's world

In Nigeria today, a lot of things have gone
awefully wrong and those things can't be
corrected even in 4 years

Things like:

- Poor Healthcare

- Poor Electricity

- Poor Education

- Poor infrastructures like roads, waste
elimination systems

- Poor Security - Think Boko Haram and all
the sudden death events taking place at random
all over the country

By the time these things will be corrected, myself
and my family would have gotten a Canadian passport
by then by God's grace

Of course, relocating to Canada or any country
isn't for everyone

If you also want to relocate to Canada, then
You have to work things out for yourself...
And stop wasting money n time!!

This is why Nigerians keep getting rejected. Instead of you to peacefully go and return to home country, if you try to play some games with invitation visa esp in first world nations you will land yourself in a deep mess. Last last you'll join statistics for reasons why Nigerians are not allowed to visit cause we abuse the system.


Haven said this, if THIS OPPORTUNITY WELL is for Greener Pasture reconsider your options cause a lot of Africans are trapped in the system.

Canada is an amazing country to immigrate to especially if you have the required skills for legal immigration...

However if you feel that, you can use a visit visa/TRV to immigrate to Canada, basically as an opportunity, the suffer in place for such an individual would be beyond explanation... infact Canada would feel like Libya and Russia combined. In such a case it would be better to stay in the comfort of his home country, than to immigrate on a wrong visa type.

But on the contrary, i heard that with visit visa you can actually apply to pr program if you can proof 2yrs work experience.
Dont know how true or feasible.

What i meant is, once you can enter with a visit visa, and you have a pr person that can give you an offer e.g as a caregiver, baby sitter or nanny, and this can be evidenced, i understand there is a program you can enter which can lead to a pr journey after canadian work experience.
This is what i was told, i doubted and asked 3 different people in canada who affirmed it.
Maybe the reason getting a visit visa its an uphill task.
