Another concern of mine is that the future of legal profession is reducing because of the amount clients are paying particularly in the area of agreement and other things.
Definitely, I won't be selling the house if I decide to relocate, the rent from the two flats will go to my mom and the least could only be 500k per year. I won't have issues sending money at home.

I just don't want to regret relocating. The exchange rate is just too much This is to help you calculate your expenses or to give you a clearer picture of the reality on ground. 1. Rent 865/month (Wi-Fi,heating,hot water) 2. Transport student pass 58/month 3. Phone bill 40/month. 4. Groceries is in the range of 300-500/month. (NB you can go on steady fasting and use $20/month lol) 5. Tuition $8,000 every semester I.e every 4months. 6. Health insurance $1400 every year. 7. Haircut $32/month 8. Miscellaneous = $100-$200 /month. Tuition is by far my biggest expense, followed by rent then groceries. As per income I earn roughly $2000 per month. I hope this helps prepare you for the journey ahead. Country : Canada Currency : CAD 7 Likes 1 Share |

If you make up to 1.5M a month pls stay back, make more, invest and build ur own empire. U may earn 3 to 4M a month in UK, Canada, but minus ur rent and bills and u would be shock at what u have left. Japa is for us who hardly make 200 to 300k a month in naija. Anyone with stable 600 to 1.5M monthly income is living a good life in naija. Actually, the majority of people who relocated, especially those who did as a result of the recession in 2015/2016 earned more than the bold and OP does.

Moving to Canada as a student without loads of cash is equal to sufferhead. The hardship can be endured by a 21 or 23 year old single student but for a man in his 30s with a family it can feel like even taking yourself years back. I live and work in the GTA area of Ontario and I'll suggest you make your plans + more enquiries before you make the move.
There are lots of people doing great in Canada and I also got into Canada with two job offers (software engineering) before landing as a PR in 2022 and did okay like many others however take these two factors into consideration
1. A student is expected to bring in money for their fees and upkeep. These fees are usually 5 times more than what locals pay (citizens/PRs). Students also work restricted hours in low paying tough jobs . On the other hand, a PR has no such restriction and can compete for jobs without any hinderance with access to credit
2. Law is a regulated field in Canada hence you'll need to go through the licensing process which I heard takes about 2 years. During that 2 years you'll need money to finance your stay.
If you can, compete for a PR and resist the temptation to go in there as a student except you have tens of million to spare. The country is cashing out on international students from India, Nigeria , Pakistan who are attending Colleges studying cooked courses. Those colleges are like a backdoor route to working in Canada and you'll find yourself unsatisfied with the programs in most cases. The universities are expensive (CAD55,000 for a MA in Economics at Ottawa Uni) but offer better opportunities.
The express entry system (which I used to migrate to canada in 2022) has become very competitive with a high cutoff score 500+ which has pushed many to spend more and more money to get a study visa. At the end of studies the graduate will still find themselves competing for points in the express entry pool though with a higher score but the entire process can be lengthy, expensive and take you off your career.
I suggest you explore the express entry system and plan the transition well with the right information. Forgrt about agents 3 Likes |

The exchange rate is just too much your story of having 2 3bedroom bungalow and 7m savings using your salary does not add up. Assuming you are earning averagely 1m per month from 2016 that you where called, ur total net worth after seven years will be 84m only. So with 84m you could cater for your family needs, extended family needs, build two bungalows I guess in a large and fenced compound, I know you will definitely have some landed properties also.... What are you doing that's earning you money aside ur basic salary in Nigeria. Bcus with the current rise in inflation, infact from the buhari regime, 84m naira in 7 years is a very small amount.

How can you be earning btw 600k - 1.5m ans still want to japa. Japa may eventually be better on the long run, but before it gets better you will blame yourself everyday for making the decision. I've been here for 7 years it's better now, but if I was making your kind of money in Nigeria and have the experience of japa that I currently have, I would never opt for japa! It is unfortunate people only consider money. What of the harsh cold weather, the emotion of staying very far away from your family, these are factors to be considered also, but unfortunately people only consider money, money alone doesn't give joy and peace of mind. 2 Likes 1 Share |
