This is definitely true and very valid for the most part.
There are places you do not want to live in the UK tho. Life was awesome when I was in Manchester, but had to move to Lancaster when I got a job up north (somewhere called Milnthorpe) in 2019. I had to talk to myself daily to remind myself there was a lot more to life. Then the lockdown came while I was still there (thankfully I had gotten married at this time) and it was still a mess. I was there for 9 months before I got a different job and had to move to Liverpool and things became better.
So moving to the UK is one thing, but there are UK cities that can rival whatever depression Canada has anyday, anytime; so it's worth looking out for.
As for making more money, I would think it's relative. Generally, I think living cost is a lot less in the UK (which is a major plus), but then in my field, the average salary in Canada (Toronto precisely) is way higher than most UK cities and probably at par with London (which is more expensive than Toronto).
I didn't have to change jobs on my move to Canada, and thankfully, my pay was adjusted (there are tools they use for these adjustments) and I honestly can save more at the end of every month. PS: this isn't peculiar to me.

So generally I think everybody's story is different and a lot of thoughts have to be given to what you do as a profession and where your bigger opportunities are.

But just like you, I found life in the UK easier. House search in Toronto was an extreme sport for me.

I just discovered my file has been moved to Accra Visa Office from CIO Sydney through a response from Webform I raised about two weeks ago.

I don't know if I should be crying or laughing because of AVO's reputation. I have been on Twitter reading the negative comments about them.

Anyone here with an update on AVO?

Why are they not processing application?

When are they likely to start treating their backlog?

I'm April 2021 AOR.

This endless wait is tiring.

This story was sad to read

ednut1:
all that will take months to 1 year, employers are looking to hire immediately. I get an average of 3 recruiter’s email on LinkedIn daily. Companies are increasing salaries and offering sign up bonus to potential new hires. Canada really needs to improve on its immigration processes and paperwork. The citizens too have to stop this cat and dog nonsense and start giving birth

backbencher:
On a more serious note, removing subsides on fuel and power means two things

1.Government stops spending money on subsides...which means that more money gets saved...plus due to investment flowing in, there is more taxable income from jobs and company earnings..more money for government.

CountVersailles:

You should speak more for yourself and not for the average African. Some people don't even know what you are talking about. Again, like many people have said, is not by force to live in Canada. You can always go back home to Nigeria where it is lively every single day.

GAZZUZZ:



It has no good reviews. It's a money pit

JIREN01:
How do you transmit after updating please? Is this enough?

MissyVee007:

BabaIbo:


Mehn!

Wataguan?

Are you OK at all?
Didn't you read the OP's post he said it is a teaching job and they hardly have payslip in that kind of profession except in big and standard school.

Had it been it won't affect his new pay, it would have been OK to disclose the actual amount.

You are talking about being honest, are they suppose to ask that question or ask him how much they want them to pay him because the company have already set the amount they want to pay for that role.

During my days as an employee, I did it and it worked for me in my last job.

Go through the thread, you will see others that have done it.

All I see in your response is hypocrisy.

HarunaWest:

Nope.. It's not at your discretion. Especially when there is job experience or expertise involved.

BabaIbo:
You should have disclosed it, better still increase it.

If it was 300k, you can say 350k or 400k...

That will give them the believe that you are open, meJanwhile you added something.

HarunaWest:

Where is the act or policy where it is stated that an potential employee shouldn't declare his salary to his potential employer?
Name one government law regarding this please ASAP.

Okuda:


which company needs your previous payslip befpre they employ you? this is bullsh..t kind of comment.

messenger4891:

very bad in clear terms .....it is official to ask your previous salary ....if the interviewer deems it fit .

I guess u didn't ask what was their offer...

JB4life:
Normal interview question.
The potential employer would like to know if you would be motivated by what they would be offering you or not,based on the difference, if any, between what you have been collecting and what they would be offering you.

HarunaWest:
lol...Whats formal about a blaady salary?
An employer wants to know if he can afford to pay you or not yet ur here talking grammar..
If na me sef, after interview na bye bye...Your application go enter shredder..
Nigerians and secretiveness with their salary. Whereas everyone knows what the POTUS earns

mastermaestro:


You are the one who actually has little understanding of the implications of his brother's actions. The dude deceived his interviewers with the help of his former manager. HR only found out after employment letter had been issued. I am sure HR probably went through his records because someone amongst disgruntled applicants (staff) rightly raised dust over his recruitment against standard company criterion.

As it stands, the dude has zero ground for contesting his sudden disengagement. In fact the company could sue him for mischief and false representation. I am sure the said manager who encouraged this mischief would be in soup as we speak. He will no longer be trusted on matters like this.

We are talking about a managerial position here, not any position. Hardly does a reputable company recruit an outsider to fill up a managerial vacancy. Very uncommon.

emmanuelewumi:
Don't depend on a single source of income.

I will rather have 10 tenants that pays a total rent of N10 million than to have a single tenant that pays a rent of N10 million.


I will rather have have 100 customers that generates substantial revenue for the business, than having just 2 customers who generate 90% of my revenue.

foolbuster:


But why you now come dey post pics of people's private property?

amdman:


The cars are now private property. Only the owners can disclose those details.
