Oh yeah, great news. Kudos Canada. Atleast, this will make our so called graduated "economic migrant" to think something out for themselves or better yet Revolt against their government instead of running away at the slightest hint for already made pie. Business,study and tourism purposes sounds more reasonable. 1 Like |

Canada visa no sure for anybody |

This only affects those who intend to migrate to Canada as skilled workers or investors. You simply can not apply until the new system is put in place. It does not stop you from applying for study or tourist or any form of temporary visit. [b][/b] |

kunlaxo: Typical naija mentality. So now money defines success and quality of life? This mentality of getting money and showing it is what is driving most of us to early graves in Nigeria.Let half of what U name here, like being able to buy things on credit,happen in Nigeria, and we'll say it is heaven on earth. At least Canadians are not lining up foreign embassies for visa like we do. Is there any foreign embassy in Lagos and Abuja that we don't line up for visa? Let's be sincere to ourselves, WHY DOES EVERYONE WANTS TO LEAVE NIGERIA? 1 Like |
Re: Canada Freezes Federal Skilled Worker Program by AjanleKoko: 9:44pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
Curious_city: Point of correction there. Less than 1% of Nigerians apply for any kind of visa, statistically speaking. So it would appear that the other 99% do not have any plans of leaving. 1 Like |
Re: Canada Freezes Federal Skilled Worker Program by Curiouscity(m): 10:17pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
AjanleKoko: OK, thanks for the correction. Maybe I should say why do most Nigerians wish to leave Nigeria. The 1% U are referring is of the total population. Can U find the % of literate and exposed Nigerians like most graduates. After all, I wouldn't expect my illiterate grandma to apply for visa. Get 10 of your friends/relatives and introduce them to how to get US visa, then come back and confirm ur statistics. Or wait till October when the US visa lottery is out. BTW how many Canadians apply for Nigerian Visa per annum? The point I was trying tell U, is that U were biased in ur previous post. 1 Like |

People need to realise that leaving Nigeria for White man land is not only about money....security is huge part of it...imagine running out of salt while cooking at night...u can go out even at 2am to go shopping...good roads...excellent healthcare system...and the fact that no one can oppress u wit watever car or house dem get....u can get same car with good credit....so...its way better...if u have the opportunity...leave and make good of it...it will be rough at the beginning...but u can make it work 1 Like |

Baddd news I have few of my relatives already waiting for 1st of july so they can submitt their application |
Re: Canada Freezes Federal Skilled Worker Program by tiebe: 11:24pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
all these arguments on whether or not to leave Nigeria is a little old na. to each his own. life na per head. Nigeria favours some while obodo oyibo favours others. security and standard of living outside Nigeria is good stuff, and then in Nigeria, with a certain kinda job, u can afford the kinda life that wont mean u're missing much on what oyibo land has to offer. Canada temporarily closing skilled visa applications must b bad news for people who were considering moving. i think canada has received more applications this yr especially as uk don tighten belt. |
Re: Canada Freezes Federal Skilled Worker Program by birdman(m): 11:31pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
renewnaija: You can have those same things in Nigeria, within reason, if you put in the hard work you undoubtedly will be forced to in Canada. And owning a house debt free is something you will probably never be able to do abroad. Dont forget the standard of living is falling too. There are PhDs from good schools sweeping streets and driving taxis in Canada. Living abroad has its pluses, but is not a slam dunk (or gbam) as you think. |
Re: Canada Freezes Federal Skilled Worker Program by tunnytox(m): 11:47pm On Jun 30, 2012 |
birdman: Sometimes I wonder how some people reason, if you like Nigeria so much that you want to stay there at all costs then so be it. People migrate for different reasons and mind you sweeping streets with Phd is better than roaming about with your Phd with nothing to do. In the end its down to choice, in a country like Nigeria if you have some health problems its undoubtedly a death sentence. In the UK here government can spend several thousands of pounds on just one patient, some patient with kidney failure can have dialysis 3 times a week free, tell me if you have such problem in Nigeria how can you survive even with your hard work? abi na persin wey sick go dey do hard work? |

....actually you guys are making some point,my prayer is that God will raise a good leader in Nigeria and africa as whole.Instead of fighting a civil war on Nairaland forum, let us begin to direct our anger to every corrupt leader because they are the root of all evil.US,UK,Canada,France...government knows their citizen will never take a "F**K that is the more reason they make sure they satify them.In Nigeria we take a lot of "nosense that is why they keep giving us "cheat".I heard you guys talking about credit cards,Credit cards are not cheap to come by, it is equivalent of your monetry worth.If you dont have a good job you can never have a credit card.My brothers,if you have the opportunity to travel out the country legally do it,within a year you will have a good story to tell. |

Hynmmmmmmm! after reading all the correspondent posts so far, here is my advice for all our youth back home, before i write anything i will like to aknowledge some ppl dat will get back @ me for posting dis simple truth. buh d truth still needs to be told anyways, There is no where like home HONESTLY! here i am in Hamilton Ontario Canada, i am a student here and i have couple of naija folks here too ranging from young to adults. No big deal about abroad to be very factual ppl come back home to tell us different stories which is far different from what i saw when i got here. There is serious suffer head here despite d fact dat there are all those facilities Tonnytox talked about but yet we pay handsomely to enjoy them all, what is d essence of good facilities without money in d pocket moreso who are those lying to u ppl dat free medical for everybody dat are citizens here BLANTANT LIE ppl here just get part of it paid by the government but d biggest part of it is paid by d invalid himself. Alot of lies ppl come back to tell us but my advice here is seeing is believing because there are lots of things to talk about buh i have no tym to type for long. EAST OR WEST HOME IS D BEST .we dont always understand dis until we see for ourselves,PEOPLE ALWAYS BELIEVE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE INSTEAD OF WETTING THE GRASS THEY ARE STANDING ON. When u get here u will realise dat (Canada is urs to discover). THIS IS A WONDERFUL TRUTH DAT NOT SO MANY PPL HERE WILL LIKE TO TELL because THEY WANT OTHERS TO COME EXPERIENCE SAME WIF THEM............... my little coin. 1 Like |

Hey, you dey Canada, you dey discourage people from going abroad. You should learn how to understand this,the fact that people still suffer abroad just because they are still students doesnt mean it will be the same forever, do you think it will all be same after Graduation? from my own opinion, i think people should be able to make their choices. If suffer dey Canada, why you never go back Nigeria. No place like home my foot. factbox: Hynmmmmmmm! after reading all the correspondent posts so far, here is my advice for all our youth back home, before i write anything i will like to aknowledge some ppl dat will get back @ me for posting dis simple truth. buh d truth still needs to be told anyways, There is no where like home HONESTLY! here i am in Hamilton Ontario Canada, i am a student here and i have couple of naija folks here too ranging from young to adults. 6 Likes |
