Common mistakes with yoruba speakers include but not limited to: adding the letter "h" to a word.
Example 1: (h)add 2 + 3

Or not adding (h) when necessary.
Example 2: aw are you?

Also the wrong pronunciation of letter "Z" as "S" and "Ch" as "Sh.

Generally, I have observed that Nigerians (maybe Igbos) do not pronounce "R" when it's in the middle of a word.
Example 3: How a you? Instead of "How aRe you"?
"What's u~a name?" instead of "What's youR name?"

So watch out for those.

The good thing is that English is now an international language, and every nation/tribe has a peculiar way of pronouncing its letters. As long you speak clearly, you'll most likely to be heard and understood.

You are already an adult so I'll advice that you don't bother about your accent. Accents are learned at childhood. Otherwise you'll begin to make a fool of yourself in public.

I mean to and fro Canada from time to time to maintain ur PR status

Hephgirl:
u will have to pm or email Justin Trudeau.

On d serious note.. One can't say for sure.. But get ur PR and den make up ur mind after that... Or trying to be traveling to maintain status while u grow in this company... I know a couple of people who are in their jobs in naija but are residents

I am still skeptical about PNP not needing POF, too lazy to research it, so i would leave the experienced folks to confirm that.
in all, its really up to you. santino pointed out that canny is pushing for more immigrants as indicated from their liberal immigration policies; this is true. but what he forgot to say is that this is because the govt in charge is liberal, though they may be re-elected, no one can say with conviction that a conservative govt wouldnt come in and shake things a bit.

moreso, the reduction in minimum years to meet eligibility for citizenship implies those who study in canada and proceed to pgwp would now be able to fill up a portion of the immigration quota faster. Also, this reduction would be an incentive for immigrants to pick canny over the likes of australia, coupled with the fact that canny's is cheaper and less stringent process. this would mean far more people would be in the pool soon and consequently higher cutoffs for draws, all things being equal.

all i am saying is, tomorrow is not promised. Many of us applying for this EE still do not have the POF that is dissuading you from the EE. some didnt even have money for ECA, na play play dem take sort am out one at a time. I would say look inwards and see if there is more you could do, speak to family and see if they could gift you part of the money.

but you know what best suits you, so whatever you choose is fine.

Santino1:
The problem with that is that most PNP at the moment are kinda tough (either you require a job offer or some previous ties to the province in question) except PEI and Nova Scotia (if your occupation is on the list of priority occupation).

einsteino:
wait. lemme get you straight, if u dont live in naija, why are you considering leaving your present location since you say you have a good job there? PNP isnt as easy as you think, i may be wrong but PNP does require POF.

einsteino:
you sound just like me 3yrs back. i had the option of leaving for a masters but insisted i wanted to get solid work experience first. the masters could wait, i thought. 2yrs later i so badly wanted to leave for a masters, thanks to buhari. but pops said the cash wasnt available anymore, plus exchange rates had seen the buhari effect lolz. i scraped up all my savings and applied for a very cheap pgd instead, study visa got denied due to insufficient funds. that same job that kept me back, i have resigned from it

see eh better apply for the permanent residence/EE, if you get it, you can do short landing and return back to Nigeria to continue your job... i hope its shell or Schlumberger job sha . On a more serious note, its important to always keep your options open. I also think the younger you are when you leave naija, the easier it is to setlle and rebuild your life. so if the pr comes, move asap jare! dont drag feet, the much older folks who u see taking their time are not like us trying to escape poverty.. i have realised half of the much older folks leaving are only doing so for their kids. i say again faschi whatever immediate comfort that job gives u, people move from 100 to zero in a second in naija! consolidate your future!

all this one wey u dey talk sef. as for me eh, if PR comes for me today, i no go even think twice or wait for weeks to leave. all i am taking with me is my certificates and a small box of clothes. my siblings don already dey fight over the rest stuffs even this phone wey i take de type, dem don share am.
This world sha! i been think say na only when person die na him family dey share e property o.
