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. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

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? 6 Likes 2 Shares |

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!! |

Onwodi1: 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. 3 Likes 1 Share |

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. |

Well said.. 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. |

khasm:false, getting a visit visa self is not easy |
Re: The REAL TRUTH about living and working permanently in Canada by khasm(m): 10:53pm On Mar 20, 2021 |
ednut1: 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. Ask around first then quote me.
