that ur greed wee soon give you sense someday

dawnomike:
Stay back in Nigeria for now and go for visits to canada on tourist visa... While on visitation, learn about Canada first hand by yourself to guide your decision.

sexylassie2:
You earn 800k per month and potential to earn more in Nigeria

Why move to Canada to start again?

Your are top of the crowd here why go to lower your status in a place where you are not guaranteed of success.

With your money you could go for holiday in different part of the world when you are free, enjoy life and see the world, refresh yourself, then come back with different ideas and energy to move your biz or whatever you doing in naija to the next level.

On a more serious note I like the fact that you are sincere with yourself; that what you are looking for is more money. Now just to be cleared with you it is easier to make money in Nigeria than any of the so called developed countries Canada included. The only thing that is hard like hell in Nigeria is to break even and for someone earning 800k a month with potential of earning more has definitely broken even in Nigeria. You are in the top 10% and you can live like a king in your own little way with that money.Nigeria being a lawlessness country only favour the rich and getting richer too is really easy i like said compared to the western world.

Now just so you know you are equivalent to someone in the top 20% in Canada when looking at Purchasing Power Parity(PPP) don't be fooled by the exchange rate. You have what can be considered a very good job anywhere in the world in the Nigeria context. Just so you know there is no where in the world where it is easy to get this kind of job that you have. Less than 15% of any nation have such job - again I am not talking exchange rate here but standard by each country and never be fooled by the exchange rate. Over 40% of Americans can't cover $400 emergency expense. That tells you how hard it is to make money in the developed world. I can authoritatively tell you that you live a better live than 90% of Nigerians that live in the so called developed countries. Most of them are struggling they live in cubicles just to send money home to have what you can easy get right now with your salary.

Finally, ask yourself a question why do all Nigerian billionaires or almost all of them live in Nigeria? The richest Nigerians live in Nigeria and it is for one reason it is the best place to live if you have money and the worst place to live if you are poor. Only poor Nigerians or average Nigerians are obsessed with abroad. The rich ones know whatsup and they are aware that they are better off with their money living in Nigeria.

So since you are looking for money just stay in Nigeria and if you must leave make sure you get a very good offer before leaving Nigeria. Don't go to Canada and start struggling for the kind of job of you have in Nigeria. The chance that you will get that kind of job in Canada is 0.1 except you are in the IT or some highly demanding fields. Enjoy your large life style in Nigeria don't go and start living in cubicles in Canada. That is stupidity if you ask me.

Use your brain!!!!

If it's just to earn more money then its advisable to sit your ass down!!
The same Canada that my bestfriend is earning 2000CAD per month which converted isn't up to what you even earning currently! You d be surprised you living far better than those living in Canada.
Most of them live in a shared apartment with roommates so dnt be deceived although no one will tell you bt that's the reality! If it's for your sanity then its still recommended bt earning more that can't be guaranteed!


Better still take a leave at work travel out nd see life yourself in Canada b4 relocating nd leaving your high paying job.

That friend of yours is better off than her counterparts in Nigeria.

At least she gets to experience independent living in her youth.. she gets to live in a civilised country and gain exposure to different ethic groups and cultural backgrounds, thus broadening her mindset and gaining valuable life experiences - unlike most of her Nigerian-based counterparts who have no choice but to live with their parents until somebody comes to marry them.

If it is to make money, then stay in Nigeria. It is easier to make money as a business man in Nigeria than Canada.

If you're concerned about your children, you can always go to Canada to give birth to them. Canada is like USA in that aspect. Your children will have Canadian citizenship if they are born in Canada.

This is a personal decision. You don't need strangers to help you make that decision

Petyprincess:

You jump into conclusion quickly lol
He is a guy nd not Nigerian! Nd mind you not every lady live with their parents b4 getting married. Most of these abroad based people are bored thats why they usually have YouTube channel to get busy! Life is foreign country is interesting nd fun if your partner is a citizen of that country!

ednut1:
i have friends and ex colleagues who earned higher than that that moved and have no regrets. Whether some squat no concern anyone. They are working towards a Canadian citizenship in 3 years. They can move to usa or other countries after that. No dull am

GboyegaD:


No vex, how did you come to your conclusion? How many of them have YouTube channels?

Ohh i see, he finished his two years studies last year nd got his three years work permit nd he could only get factory jobs, even the factory jobs he had to move from Montreal to Toronto b4 he could get one. So after getting a Canadian citizenship he can move legally to US nd work as a citizen without visa nd restrictions right?

GboyegaD:


Read somewhere you are migrating to Canada. Have you moved now? How are you liking it if you have?

ednut1:
still here. Moving when they open airport

Petyprincess:

Lol honestly they are many o maybe i exaggerated earlier bt they usually have YouTube channels.

Some guys landed recently. Maybe not from Naija sha. What province are you moving to? Just doing tatafo.

Scaredd:
I've noticed on similar threads seeking migration advice to Canada that almost everyone advises leave the country and I'm like "is it so good in Canada?

The only reason I want to travel to Canada or any other high profile country is to make far more money than I make in Nigeria.

Now, by the Grace of God I earn over 800k monthly with promising potentials for more. I'm 32yrs and planning to settle down next year, but with so many advises saying "leaving the country to Canada is the best choice", I'm so confused right now as per what's the best choice for me. I even watched a video where a guy living in canada said he spent upto 400k monthly on expenses.

So, I want to ask and need advise from anyone living in Canada. Would you advise someone earning 800k monthly in Nigeria to leave for Canada?

Your input is highly appreciated.

GboyegaD:


There are restrictions but very minimal. Getting a TN visa for listed job under the NAFTA agreement is a walk in the park.

sweetmelanin:



That's if he's granted visa in the first place. The Nigerian passport is one of the most useless and despised passports in the world and increasingly, countries do not wish to issue out visas to its bearers (not even tourist visas)

sweetmelanin:


This statement is false. There's a difference between owning homes in Nigeria and actually living ther[b]e. These billionaires are smart enough to migrate thier families abroad[/b] whilst creating the illusion that they are based in Nigeria. Take Otedola for example...

Petyprincess:

Typical nairaland mumu,You that left the shore of ajegunle why can't you leave your advice without quoting me?
Must you always display your stupidity on every thread?

Influential101:
My problem with people like you is that they've never been to Canada yet know more than those living there..

I will leave you at that because I can't go the level you're taking it to.
