Less than 15% of the total land in Canada is where 90% of the population are concentrated.

Can't their government build houses in some part of the 85%?

I know some parts are too harsh weather like, but they should be able to carve out another 15% for habitation.

If the country no favour you wait for the 3 years. Become a Canadian citizen. Use the passport to move to USA, Singapore, Dubai etc. A colleague from 9ja just moved to the USA with same company. Got a big salary increase. The Canadian passport is still a good deal 😁

Simple!!

Relocating to Canada is still a means to an end (Citizenship/ moving to USA).

Canada wants young qualified immigrants who would do small jobs and pay heavy taxes to pay for the sick and ageing Canadian population, and themselves remain in perpetual poverty, without owning a house or caught in a merciless mortgage payment system. Many immigrants are not choosing to sacrifice their lives for that.

It's a Ponzi scheme.

They can't pay the pension and need more slaving cattle.

Do you know that the Canadian government is now offering free suicide kit as part of their medical services to those they deem to expensive to keep on their healthcare system and pension fund?

Trudeau is a Marrano Jew and his real father is the Marrano communist Jew , Fidel Castro.

You cannot become a Canada citizen in 3 yrs,you can get permanent resident after staying for 2yrs,full citizen with Canada passport after staying for 5yrs,not 3yrs.....
Oga, with PR, it is 1095 days stay in Canada in a 5 years span. You can do the 1095 days straight and apply for citizenship or stagger it. So long you meet 1095 days in 5 years, you are good. That is 3 years of presence. So even if you land today and stay 2 days, then go back and return in 6 months your 2 days stands and it be counted and verified by your travel documents.

My friend, a doctor in Naija got his Canadian passport...and is not enroute to UK. Already got a job...but while in Canada, he could not even practice as a Medical doctor...like what the heck. You bring in these immigrants and refuse to give them jobs in their fields of interest. A doctor working as a careworker...this is just wrong, and they happen to be the best of best in Nigeria.





Same thing with my friend. We are doctors. I came to Saudi, he went to Canada via master's route. He can't practice in Canada. He can only do care giver job. He is already on his pathway to come to the U.K to practice. Writing exams to register with the GMC in the U.K. So it just doesn't make sense not to work as a doctor in Canada. UK route is one of the easiest for doctors to practice.

You mean housing affordability? The houses aren't poor. At least, they're better than what I saw in the UK. But that's for those that can afford them. In my opinion, the real estate cost in Canada is the worst in the world. The healthcare system is not bad. Canada has set a high healthcare standard, so when they say it's not good enough, it's still better than that of many other places like the US and Co. As for the labour market, it only favors those in tech, finance and med. Others are on thier own.

One major factor here is that people troop in from all over the world expecting a land of milk and honey. I know a lot of Nigerians that moved to this place from the UK because of what they heard. For those in the sought-after fields, it was a great move since Canada and the US generally pay better than the UK. But for others, they had to manage thiet expectations.

Do not mind them. Canada is for you to explore.
If you are lazy, do not bother because you are going to be competing with those smart guys from China, Korea, India, etc.

However as a Nigerian, you can never meet worse conditions than what you were used to at home. So if you see any Nigerian complaining, know they are lazy.

Getting great job requires that you are also smart. When you land, look out for how to buy a home. Avoid renting if you can, buy because after 6 months from purchase, the value of your house would have appreciated by about 25%-20%, especiallyin Ontario and Alberta. In 2 years, your networth would be staggering in the $m.

if you spent 2 years as a student and got pr later. Your 2 years as a student counts as 1 year towards citizenship. So you stay 2 years as a pr and get citizenship.

It was you that said you can’t become a citizen in 3 years under my post. When they are talking about immigrants it’s mostly Permanent residents they are talking about not students or visitors. Students and visitors are temporary residents not immigrants

3 years bawo? Haba naw! Maybe you meant PR. That's a smart idea though. You can leave Canada after becoming a citizen to work elsewhere and be earning better but if the same company you're working for in Canada isn't hiring elsewhere outside nko? What do you do? Can you stay outside Canada more than an allowable period of time except on an official assignment? As a citizen of the US, you cannot try this else, you stand the risk of giving your citizenship except you'reauthorised to work ourside for a lengthy period of time...outside allowableperiod.

where do you people get your information At newspaper stands or what. A citizen of any country can relocate where ever he wants and cant lose his citizenship na except its North Korea. I came to Canada 3 years ago as a PR. And will become a citizen this month. So all the Nigerian celebrities and people that gave birth in USA have their kids living in Nigeria lost their citizenship Like can you guy stop all these falsehoods.

As a citizen of a first world country you have more job prospects abroad than someone from a 3rd world country. There are people who were born in Canada that live and work in asian countries and latin America. Dem get too head?

If the Nigerian doctors pass the required exams in Canada,they would be able to work there.I have more than 100 ( one hundred )Nigerian colleagues working in Canada who have got the exams and living very well.The least they earn is $ 350,000 per annum.They work as GP,Psychiatrists, Obstetricians,Emergency doctors ....Surgery specialty is quite protected and reserved for white Canadians...It is generally very competitive even for the whites.
The Nigerian doctors unable to work there either have not passed the exams and usually Canada typically requires at least 4 years experience in a developed country with good healthcare system.
Many of them.cannot work there as their Nigerian experience does not count.

Most of my colleagues there migrated from Ireland and UK with at least 4 years experience here.
I have job offers in Canada but choose to remain here because what I earn as a Consultant in Euros per annum is equivalent to what they earn in Canadian dollars.

Many of the doctors unable to work in Canada are not telling you the reason why they can get a job.There are loads of jobs and my email is inundated with too many job requests based on my CV working in Europe for 17 years!

Okay papi here let me turn the tide now for a bit.
So form my own side let me first of all day I live in America and not Canada. But lately, people have been flooding in from Canada and all part of the world into America.

Infact the Americans now are now scared the rate at which they pull in.
They now call these people sleepers.

Now here is my point. See most people will hear the amount they will be paying you in dollars and you will receive a new job offer and you will be happy not doing proper research.

See I got a job of $85,000 per year last month and I turned it down.
Now here are my reasons for turning it down
.
At first I was happy when I got the job offer but when I did my research I found this.

1, the cheapest house rent I could afford was 2,890 per month including light water and Internet. Now if I pay that I only have $56 left from my monthly salary . Now that is the cheapest house. And the worst part is that the house is 30mins drive from my place of work. The houses closeby i.e 50 to 10mins drive away from my work they don't rent it's either air B&B or you buy morguage and it's on the high side. I haven't even talked feeding, gas,phone bill etc. My present job pays me less $45,000 monthly I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and I am okay and I get to save more I live in a small town but very okay. So in summary, America the more u make the more u pay on expenses and we never talk TAXES yet lol.
It's good to be physically mentally and emotionally ready to make it in America.

Seeing the bolded here, it's either you're lying or you got your figures wrong. $85,000 a year you claimed you were offered translates to more than $7,000 per month. Let's even assume this is before tax. It can't be less than $4,000 per month after tax. So how then would you have $56 left in a month after paying monthly rent of $2,890? This makes no mathematical sense to me.

whether by birth or naturalization they have same rights in Canada. If you commit a treasonable act like spying or terrorism you will lose the citizenship by naturalization.

In USA you cant contest for presidency unless you were born in USA. Asides that its same rights.
