Hello, I am a Nigerian living in Canada. I am actually a Canadian Citizen. It is possible that it is not a scam, however, the likelihood that you will be doing menial is very high. Most times these kind of jobs can be tough and pay less relative to the cost of living in the area you will be working. You can ask for the wages of the position and the job description. If you know the location, Google the cost of rents and general cost of living there(just search apartment rent in the name of the town/city). Include taxes, see how you fare.

In a clear times, it is very likely it is a labor job. Also, be aware that there is no guaranty that the Visa could be extended, you might be able to apply for PR afterwards though.

I was forced to write this piece in case it can be beneficial to you and others. I think most people living abroad and those people in Nigeria commenting are either not sincere with the truth/reality or they don't actually know. Life in Canada is not rosy as it is portrayed! Some might think that I might be saying this because things are not alright for me, praise be to God, I think I been lucky.

Canada welcomes many highly qualified immigrants, so competition is extremely stiff.As a result of this, I have seen some Nigerians who came here and later decided to go back to Nigeria to take the position/job they left but the jobs were gone. This is a reality!. Then I see most people migrating to create a better future for their children, while this seems reasonable. I really think people going for this reason really need to think critically about it. The chance of kids becoming morally bankrupt is high, remember you can't discipline like you will do in Nigeria. Even the quality of the schools(especially primary and secondary) is not too good. The kids will also likely face racism like you too will face, racism is real my friend.

In conclusion, before deciding to go or not go. Please think critically and seek God's guidance. God has knowledge of today and future, and he knows the best for you. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.

Hello mainanalyst,

Peace unto you brother. There is no doubt this period is a challenging time. You are not alone in this kind of situation, in fact only the angels have constant faith ( one that doesn't fluctuate). Even your wife has period of fluctuating faith!

And note that all humans face challenges/problems, this is irrespective of religious affiliations. And you know what, it is in the remembrance of Allah that hearts find peace. I live in the western world, do you know that despite the huge wealth and all the good things around, people are still yearning for something more? You can do your own research.. You can wonder why the rich and famous are commiting suicide... The heart is seriously missing something, and it is yearning for its creator.

You might have been born into Islam but I think you haven't really been convinced of its truth. Take your time to read this link:

https://islamqa.info/en/answers/175339/evidence-for-the-validity-of-islam

It is not by chance that the religion people are reverting to the most is Islam. Islam provides answer to all your questions. You just need to ask, and when you want to ask, ask the people of knowledge..

Before concluding, do you know that even the underlying strength in the constitution of United States is the inclusion of God. Even the constitution as put in place by their founding fathers rely on swearing by God before holding office. This is to gurantee that the right thing will be done. The world is full of negative or evil energies, it is the faith in God that put us on right path. There is little I can say on here, do your own research. I know you are logical, find videos of Dr. Zakir Naik on proof Islam is right, Miracles and science in Quran, debates with atheists, debates with Christians, debates with Jews etc.

I pray God guide you right.

Thank you.

When I see fellow Nigerians celebrating picture like this, I weep for this nation. Is that how to study I really feel sorry for the future of this country. A country with more than 150 universities, it is really a shame! In sane climes, Atiku would be ashamed to come out. I wonder if someone with the right senses will entrust his personal account to someone like this, talk-less of a whole nation's purse.

God will not change our condition if we don't change our ways. Wake up from slumber my dear people. What you do today will affect your tomorrow.
