These are the two main destinations Nigerians chooses to go when thinking of migrating abroad. It was USA some time ago but the visa policy has stiffened for USA.
Now Canada and UK are trending places to go for international studies.
UK offers a post study work permit of two years for a one year masters program to find a Sponsored job that will enable him or her get on a tier 2 visa. After getting such job, after working for five years, you then apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR) which is similar to permanent residency in Canada. You can apply for citizenship after 12 months of getting your ILR

Canada offers a one year post graduate work permit for one year masters program and three years post graduate work permit for a two year masters program. You would look for a job in NOC A, B or O which are skilled and managerial positions. After working for a year, you can apply for Permanent Residency through the Canadian Experience Class in the Express Entry. After 3 years of Permanent Residency, you apply for Citizenship.

There's a rumour that the life in UK is very tough, it's hard to get their papers, tax is very high compared to Canada.
However, I love the UK due to its multiculturalism and feels a bit closer to home and it's less harsher weather. I'm scared of loneliness.
I'm a pharmacist by profession. I want to make the right decisions.
I normally see people migrating from UK to Canada, I hardly see the opposite.
I'm just confused . I want to migrate via study route.
Our brothers in UK and Canada, Kindly enlighten us , their pros and cons.

You already answered your own questions bro

Op! Like ednut said you answered your question already. It now boils down to what you want. Note that no place is perfect on Earth.
So make your choice.

However, if you have the money and you want to relocate quickly, UK is the answer but if you have the patience then Canada is it.

Perfect answer!

See enh. My advice for you.

Start processing UK Study Visa.
Migrate with your family as dependents or yourself only.

Apply for 1 year masters, get done with it and apply for post study work visa. If you feel you are comfortable with the system, remain in the UK.

If not process study visa for canada or apply for their skilled worker express entry or a masters degree again since you must have made a lot of money in pounds.

My take. Choose UK first. You wont regret it.

Hmmm...I get your point

If you really want to practise here in UK as a foreign trained pharmacist, d requirements are daunting but surmountable, and that is one reason why UK is not a popular destination for pharmacists particularly from Nigeria. However, if you want to move to UK through schooling without the immediate plan to practise here, then is all good. Living expenses are quite high in both countries, but with UK NHS, pension scheme, and transportation system, I will always pick UK...

Bro, all you need to do is to get a good laptop and phone with internet.
Google your preferred course and put UK at the end...e.g "MSc Business Administration UK"
Check the schools that pop up, check their Tuition for international student to know.
If you have your transcript and passport, apply straight away. Something that has been made easy!

The agent is just trying to make money out of your ignorance. I can put you through without collecting a dime. You ain't the first person I will put through.

appeal. The useless visa officer made an error. You planned to stay 14 days . He is saying it is over stipulated 6months. How he take pass maths lol. Also if you earn 1m your account balance should be higher than that 4m.

I have also been making research about the OSPAP program, but the initial adjudication by GPhC before you get a school makes it a bit more complex and might take more time. Plus its a bit more expensive with only a few school offering the program. Would it be okay to do an MPH program initially and the go for the PGDip program during your Post study visa period

Really is kind of tricky but I will advise you to come with the MPH, you will always find your way around here. I have a friend who is a dentist and came in through master. There are opportunities to get things right, provided you can add value to the system.

Yes.. the main applicant can work for 20 hours only but the partner can work
