Lol even immigrants in Canada are beginning to question the government's immigration plan as its beginning to look like greed. The government has no plan to drastically increase the economic immigration quota. Yet there are tons of bogus colleges springing up and sponsoring study permits. Canadian universities are known for their tough entry requirements however, with these colleges just pay and come in. No accommodation, low quality teaching in anyway nobody cares about what the college has to offer. Its just the study visa as a path to PR.

Nairaland is an interesting place. I'm not a naysayer but there is some kind of attitude one needs to make progress in Canada. Most times people with the right attitude succeed. Like you mentioned Canada is not a bed of roses as painted out there and while I admit that I am happier and better off living/working in Canada, I also continue to share that adjustments are necessary when making a move to Canada. The work culture is different. There are no shortcuts. Rules are rules. Financial culture (credit economy) is also different from what many of us are used to.
For instance I did not move to Canada till I landed a job in my field but even at that I had a problem with accommodation (last year). No agent was willing to take up the task of finding me places because I had no credit history. Job letter/pay stubs did not help out in the first few months. When I eventually got my first credit report the score was below 700 and the history was short. No landlord accepted my offer. I applied to rent over 80 condos while staying at an Air BnB. Friends who offered to help accommodate me posed as helpers but actually saw me as a candidate they could use to reduce their mortgage payments. I opted to remain in an Air BnB and continue house hunting because I felt staying in someone's house will make it harder to get settled. Agents encouraged me to outbid other renters to have an edge. The only landlord that accepted my offer gave a condition (6 months rent upfront). It is against Ontario's law but I was tired of living in an air bnb (4 months). I agreed and paid him. He structured the tenancy as first three months and last three months which meant I had to resume paying rent again after three months. Towards the end of my lease the landlord sent me an eviction notice under the guise that his son was moving into the unit. I was scared of the rental market due to my previous experience. The landlord later called me to share the condo with his son (its a 2-bed condo) which I rejected because I furnished the apartment fully and didn't think it was a good deal. He offered to reduce the rent but I said no to him and stopped paying him because he was holding my $6,000 in deposit (last three months rent). I am staying in the condo till the 3 months expires in November. I was also able to rent another condo more easily this time around (tenancy starts in november) with a much stronger credit score and history.

The summary of it all is that there are challenges on ground. Money is needed from day 1 in Canada. People who borrow POF and arrive with little or no money may even feel the harshness of Canada more. No where is easy. Last time I went to USA people were also complaining about interest rates and cost of living.

What can Igbos not do for money? See his Alaigbo head. The fool above me has forgotten his people are well known for most crimes in Nigeria and Asia

sammyj:
Why abuse them if you have enough money to move on and get married to a responsible woman?

helinues:
Nothing was wrong with Nigeria judiciary when Peter Obi won at the Supreme court

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense claim! As If money is not what you lot worship in Nigeria?

Kobojunkie:
Does it matter? So long as she she making more than the man, many already admit, as she too has, that she is at a disadvantage where Nigerian men are.

Kobojunkie:
In many other countries, she wouldn't need to do that though especially out in the west and asia where men bring more than just money and their joysticks to the table. If she had been raised in a foreign land, for example, she, like Otedola's daughter, would have found herself a worthy mate of lesser stature.

Kobojunkie:
Unfortunately, it only applies as far as Nigeria and Nigerians..

Kobojunkie:
This here only applies as far as Nigeria and Nigerian men are concerned, mind you.

Those cursing Nigeria shall not eat the good of the land.

Abi, not even their candidates cos democracy would no longer exists.

That's what election loss can cause, chronic bitterness and hatred for their own country.

Spits on all the enemies of Nigeria

crossfm:
I said condemn the action. I didn't say they are part of ECOWAS.

You can also see where I made mention of the West and USA too. These are the people enebling these African leader's.

Hmm...

I'm positive the Ministers will work in this regime...

All we need is transparency, honesty

Luchiee:
I’d advise you to send to VFS Kenya … my sisters own took less than a week to return. Also, it’s not always the same for everyone, you might be asked for POF at the airport… my sister said the lady right in front of her wasn’t asked, but she was asked for POF. so just prepare yourself because you might not be so lucky.. It’s actually a requirement but some people escape it at the airport.

IVORY2009:
What consigns UK with our issues in Nigeria, she should be extratides down to Nigeria to face the music.

Humans are adaptable and can adapt to any situation. Once I miss an opportunity I try to move on as quickly as possible . Canada has its issues too just like Nigeria hence even here one has to be strategic to survive

I'm inquiring on behalf of a family friend, who has completed her initial degree in Biochemistry, followed by a second degree in Pharmacy, and is currently concluding her Masters. Now at the age of 42, she is married and has 6 children. She's contemplating applying for the Express Entry program and is seeking clarity regarding her eligibility prospects. If anyone could provide a straightforward response regarding her chances and suggest any suitable programs, she's open to embracing them. She's also considering registering for the IELTS. Is this a worthwhile step?

Tim5press:
Hello Good people!
Please I want to ask if anyone has successfully used fixed deposit certificate alone as proof of funds for SINP without showing account statement. I just want to be sure it is possible.
I will appreciate your kind response.

tshtsh:
Scaling through point based express entry at 42 Is hard based on age. Moving to a new country at 42 is also hard

tshtsh:
Assuming that a negligent immigration officer will skip the POF shortfall and approve the application hardly ever works on points based immigration systems .

kokoA:
The man is old enough to be his father, it's a sign of respect. Nothing wrong with that.

NaijaGoingMaple:
That's not always the case. They should do exactly as advised. They will only lose $300 application fee if declined and nothing more..
