I have just 2 questions for you, how old are you and what is your level of education ?
8 million naira is nothing these days with the exchange rate so it will not be enough for proof of funds.

Like earlier suggested, creating this thread in the travel section would attract more views and contributions as there are a good number of those who have already relocated and those still processing their relocation in that section.

Follow the express entry route o. You qualify for it. Don't mind the comment about getting a job there.

You better look at raising more funds because that amount isn't enough as POF (proof of funds) for a family of six.

Your age seems on the high side, you may wanna look at Provincial Nomination of Learning French to increase your crs score .
You will have to write ielts, TEF and do wes evaluation of your highest degree.
Again, you will need more than 8 million naira for a family of 6 for POF and processing.

Moved to travel section guys...
All contributions will he greatly appreciated..

You should post this in the travel section where you will get good response

1. Is your wife also a graduate? Including OND/HND?

2. Can you/do you have some certified skills? Taking LinkedIn courses to certify skills you already have is a big plus.

3. Search the cities you are interested in on ca.indeed.com and see what jobs you like are available. Can you apply to those jobs? What do you need to apply to those jobs?

4. After answering the above, fill this out: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp and https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/come-canada-tool.html

Once naira is changed to euros the true value of 8million naira is revealed

the money is not enough for full family. you alone have to enter first before thinking of bringing in family.

Like other people advised, check the express entry route. It's not necessary to learn french, with your education and work experience you are very likely to qualify.

When you get to Canada make sure you go to school, even if its an eight month diploma, having Canadian education helps you land a better job faster.

You can also look at coming to study and then bringing your family after settling. Coming with your family may make you desperate to take on menial jobs to survive, better to come alone, do a two years Msc or MBA or PhD, get a three year post graduate work permit, big organizations are always recruiting from top institutions.

If you absolutely have to come with your family, you will need more than your 8m savings, you need a bigger house, daycare for the kids etc.

Chairman dey form Kingkong with 8million naira. Dat money na small change for dollars. You need to go first, balance on one leg if not on two legs, before you pack ur family.
