Have you been to Canada before? If not, what makes you think life is easier in Canada? Do you have the resources to visit Canada first? If you do, I'd suggest you do that. I know it could be expensive but it's surely worth it. At least, you'd be sure you are not repeating the same mistake of moving to a new country without sufficient information on how to settle in.

I know you mentioned "critical reviews" which suggests you've done your homework and you've considered the necessary factors, I'd just like to add that the process of settling in in most of these western countries is pretty much alike. Although Canada is considered more immigrant friendly, you'd probably face similar road blocks you face in the UK there. Just keep that in mind.

Best of luck!

The fact that there are limited ways of settling down in uk is the turn off. You either have a child here ( which you’d still need the mother’s consent ) or you get married to British citizen ( you need her for years to settle down ). Depending on someone is not the best form of survival in uk. Life could be so miserable for the dependant. Hence why I said I’ve done my research and I think moving to a more friendly country like Canada would be better.

what do you mean your profile doesn't match. There are things you can do to increase scores for express entry. Kr marry someone in uk

Please tell me more. Being married to a British citizen would increase your chances? Even when you don’t understand french as applicant and all you have is just Bsc and working experience? Kindly elaborate

Genuinely curious, what don’t you like about the environment? Is it the weather? Infrastructure? People?

Not gonna lie, when I arrived as well, I wasn’t all that impressed (I’ll blame Hollywood movies here).

Re: Options; Migrating through work remains up there but studies too is viable. You stand a better chance applying from here than from Naija anyways.

Best of lucks.

Settling down here is hard. You either depend on someone or have a child and go through consent with the child’s mum etc. Nobody deserve to live on the edge when a woman can dictate your stay in the Uk. It’s better to goto a country where you’re likely to dictate what you want when you have skills etc. Hence why I’m not a fan of uk anymore.

I’ve only been in the Uk for less than a year. After critical reviews and deep reasoning with immigration lawyers, I figured uk is not as easy as projected when it comes to settlement.

I’m planning to relocate to Canada but I don’t think I have the profile to match Express entry criteria. Please, I need suggestions and detailed information about how to relocate to Canada from uk.
Thank you all.

Hi Guys, I’m currently in the Uk and I can say I don’t really enjoy the environment ( Please don’t advice me on how to live with what I don’t find pleasant ). I’m really thinking of moving to Canada. The express entry is a long process. Please which other options do I have to move to Canada. I know about student visa. Can you guys please advice me on this ?

Nobody needs your personal details here and you don't need to use your personal details here to be able to share ideas.

This thread was created to share ideas and not to harvest personal details for whasapp group.

Anybody that commits suicide because of this is just selfish

I created this thread and it’s for people who are thoroughly affected not for people like you who don’t have any idea of what passport cost.

No matter how much you try, people won’t share personal contact of their connect on a platform like this. You’d have to contact them personally. Hence why a more limited circle is needed. Common sense should tell you if we are going to source for chartered flight too, the arrangement can’t take place here with the level of fraud and sensitive information.

But like I said, you’re very limited. I don’t expect much from you.

There are alot of flights leaving almost every week.
But the cost is bit outrageous.
Example Ethiopian airlines cost about 1000 dollar to Addis Abbaba from Abuja and 2200 dollar to other destination.

But for Ethiopian airlines, you can book yourself directly from the airline website.
But you might have some challenges with them. They would claim it's an evacuation flight and the ticket on the website was a mistake. So you need to pay the remaining charges. If you cause a scene. Then they would bring another outrageous requirement.

Permit from Nigeria foreign office
Permit from home embassy
Covid 19 test.


It's just complicated honestly. The best option is for the chartered flight. If we have large numbers

These figures from Ethiopian airline is outrageous. How much does chartered flight cost and why is anyone not looking into Cotonou route at all? Air France from Cotonou to London is 1,300 dollars. I saw that online

You clearly saw what the other guy that went through lome to Canada said. He had to join groups and they made flight arrangement together. Source for information that would benefit them because he’s visa was going to expire. So please, take your negativity away. It’s the last thing anyone needs right now on this thread

@All

Please stop promoting WhatsApp group here, if you can’t share the information here then don’t bother.

This is going to be a very long discussion, detailed discussion and people sharing personal contact of people they know that can help. Not everyone is comfortable with sharing personal contact on Nairaland that has 5 million users. Please people are affected so bad and some are committing suicide already. Don’t discourage people from doing what will get them to their destination.

If you’re not affected by this, just zoom off. We don’t need your opinion on how to relate with people who can help people get out of Nigeria with solid information. We don’t want any negativity

I went through lome to canada. We chartered a plane to lome with airpeace and Ethiopia air from togo special flight to canada via addis ababa and dublin. Landed canada june 16.God punish Nigerian leaders. Visa for expire for person hand. Renewal process by Canada hasn't been communicated or defined. Had to flee

Thanks for sharing this information. Please is there any way people can contact you for more information about this. It will help a lot of people and their family. You have no idea how people are battling with life threatening situations at the moment because they are stuck here. Hence why I created this thread.

Samsideen1:
I also need to get back to dubai my work is at stake..... Anybody with vital information about the route to kotonu..... Please kindly help.

I have information about the movement of Air-peace moving people from UAE to Lagos. I’ll attach the picture a friend posted on her status today about airpeace movement ( she works with airpeace ) . So you can contact those number and email, I’m sure they will give you info if there is anyway you can move from Nigeria to UAE soon

There has been news about Nigeria international airspace not working till October, while we wait for more news, we can’t fold hands and watch people go through mental torture. This thread is for people to share information they have or know about repatriation flights that pick people from Nigeria to UK, America and other countries. Also, the amount it will cost them. And how does going to Cotonou to board flight work? Is there any hassle with that? Any issues or difficultly ? Please share your experience and information you have, it will help a lot of people.

Before you debunk and talk about things like this. Get property magazine, check the cost of flats in banana island. Then check mansions. Now, what is more lucrative than property investment ? I guess you don’t know the worth of this. Moving on Tekno made over 2.08 billion naira after dropping hits upon hits in 4 years. Now calculate how much davido makes with series of endorsement, Gold sales of album, streams and sold out shows. All I see in your statement is: you don’t know anything about show biz. Focus on reading rather than talking.

Guys, any update on when the TLS center in Lagos Is going to re-open?

Hello everyone, Please how much is application fee now and NHS fee. I went through the previous pages and I saw information but I just want a very recent fee just to know how much it would cost actually.

Thanks for your response, Please do you know the type of IELTS that I need to write ?

Use UK Naric to evaluate your certification or write IELTS else your application is likely to be refused

Hi guys, I got to know this platform is very helpful about UK spousal visa. I read through the previous threads and I have a question.

Some experts on this platform said if you want to apply for UK spousal visa. I need IELTS exam. But right now I have B.sc in mass communication.

1. Can I use that?

2. I saw something about going through UK Naric process if I don’t want to use IELTS.

PLEASE GUYS ENLIGHTEN ME. If there is a way I can use my Bsc and it won’t hinder my application. Or if I should go for IELTS and what grade is expected of me if I do the exam.

Thanks. God bless y’all.
