canada and germany ke?


canada is 500 times ahead of germany.


apart from germany been a racist country and not good for black, it has nothing on canada.

stop comparing nonsense.

Freedom of movement and work (easy access travel to other European destinations)

With German passport, you can travel to more countries

The limitless speed on the autobahn and the overall culture of Europe

Better economy ( Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe and number 4 in the world)

School is relatively cheap. You don't have to pay anything apart from the money in the block account. They have very good record in education structure.

The weather and the accessibility to EU market plus Germany is massively industrialized which makes her have an edge over Canada

Germany is located in the centre of Europe. You can reach countless number of countries in a 2 hour flight.

Germany has research institutions than Canada and faculties in Germany are more well versed.

Lots of History, Architecture, ancient artifacts etc


These are ways by which Germany is better than Canada... State your own... Let's see

Give reason abeg

Amuocha:

God Bless Deutschland

Amen

chigo4u:
I read this thread thinking you’ll highlight the issues an average Nigerian immigrant wants to know that is:

Which of those countries is favorable to immigrants
Where can an immigrant settle down easily
Where will one get jobs easier to support himself
Where is an immigrant likely to earn more money
Which of them has lesser racism
Which has better security
Weather

Etc
These are what I thought you will highlight not military, economy etc. nice thread though

Both are immigrant friendly, although Canada is more immigrant friendly

That depends on you.

Both but Germany is better

Concerning the earning aspects, i think you can earn more money in Germany

Less racism, i give it to Canada because of the diversity

Both have better security

Weather - Germany on this one


Alle gut

Jayskit:
Hello Braket,I have lot of question and I would appreciate if you would answer them.

Firstly your block fund is it going to be accessible to you are the money is for your institution?

Secondly like how much in Nigerian currency should a person who wishes to study in Germany have?

Lastly any advice for us that there is no really sponsor or our parents are not that rich.Thanks
For Bsc if possible and Msc
I enjoyed your eloquent explanations

Kindly direct your questions to the right thread. Thanks

Braket keep it coming... We are already salivating o

Agbaletu:
Nice thread. Very revealing.

Thanks for stopping by

Beautyaddy:
You meant it that this thread be moved to the front page of the forum.

Yeah, some people might have one or two things to add to this topic

Lalasticlala, please move it to the permanent site. Let's hear what people have to say concerning the 2 countries

Beautyaddy:
Okay, this means that German citizens must be paying the free tuition through their taxes then...which I guess must be high.

So the block account is for international students...I suppose.

Yes....Although it depends on how much you are earning

Beautyaddy:

Yes it is. Just imagine if they stop the block account of a thing, many NIGERIANS, Somalians, Afghanistans and Syrians would flood the country in no time

Now, Jump up and let's talk about the military because Canada has available manpower of 16,000,000 (might not be accurate but if you know the actual number, don't hesitate to correct me) while Germany has about 37,000,000. Out of this number, 13 million are fit for service in Canada and 29.5 million are fit for service in Germany.

Canada active personnel sit roughly 79,000 people, with Germany having 108,000 soldiers. Canada however has more soldiers in reserve (32,000) than Germany (30,000)

As for the defense budget of Canada is $15.5billion and Germany defense budget is $39.2 billion. However all of these are completely useless, all the machines that they have would be out of commission if they didn't have OIL and when it comes to oil, Canada produces more oil than Germany.

All in all, both Germany and Canada are a good place to relocate to. If you want diversity and maybe cold, Canada is the right place for you and if you want freedom of movement and work (easy access travel to other European destinations) and cultural exposure, then i suggest you choose Germany

Beautyaddy:
Huh And why is that?

Does this also apply to its citizens...needing to open the block account...and how much should the block account have in it?

No, the citizens don't have to open a block account since they are in the country.

€8640 plus €70 (bank charges)

salford:
Thanks boss. your threads have been very educative and revealing.

Canadians are laid back. I do not know if it is because we have the US to the south, and the cold will not even allow for a proper implementation of high tech devices. Anyone coming here from western Europe might be a bit shocked but they will get used to it and the way things work in Canada soon becomes a norm.

Student loan is part of life here. That is why trades are often encouraged in Canada. Trades are almost free and government pays employment insurance (a sort of monthly stipends) when an apprentice is in school for 3 to 4 months in a year. Only challenge might be finding an employer willing to indenture. It's not nice studying a "not so marketable" course at a Uni and ending up with a student debt.

I haven't met a German in Canada yet; however, lots of Canadians have German ancestory. You can tell from their last names. Lots of names starting from Z and Sch. I have worked on teams of greater than 5 people where everyone has a german last name lol.

The 2016 Canadian census put the number of Canadians of German ethnicity at over 3.3 million. That is almost 10% of the population.

From research, i learnt that majority of Americans that visit Germany usually stay back.

Yes, you are right. Schneider for example

Beautyaddy:
Really? I'm guessing 90% or more of their citizens must be undergraduate degree holders.

Does this free education also covers masters programs... and how is it paid with...high taxes on its citizens?

Even PH.D

You only have to open a block account and fund it with some money.

salford:
In Canada, despite the grants and bursaries, the average student debt (from student loans) is $19,364 USD.
However, if one gets a good job, the grad can quickly pay that off in no time depending on priority. Some spread it over years though.

Wow.. In Germany, i don't think there is something like student debt since education is free

salford:
Not all of the land mass in Canada is liveable though. Lots of frozen tundra and inhabitable mountains and hills. Also lots of huge farm lands in the prairie region.
However there is still lots of space.

I have never lived in Germany, so i can't compare the two countries. The closest i have gotten to Germany was a friend called Katja when I was studying in the UK always telling me how backward the UK was in terms of technology. I felt the same way when I moved to Canada. I felt Canada was backward in technology compared to the UK. I am used to the way things work in Canada now lol.

But the pay and remuneration for my profession and that of my wife is better in western Canada than that of UK by miles. You can also live in huge houses and drive nice toys on wide roads. I believe Gernmany would be very similar to UK in terms of building and road designs.

I love Canada, but the cold meh.

UK is technologically more advanced than Canada. If we were to compare, Germany is better but i don't like that. Both are from different continent and they both have their pros and cons. Main reason why i created this thread purposely to discuss this topic with nairalanders

Well, i must confess that am honoured to have the boss on this thread

Now let's talk about education but to give you guys an idea about how they spend the money, am going to use US dollars in order for you guys to see how much they spend on a single student.

In terms of education, according to OECD, Germany spends $8,546 per student on education but Canada spend $9,256 per student.

They have some similarities and differences. For example, in Canada, everything from high school and before is considered free education but if you go to university or college, that is paid out of your pocket. However, keep it in mind that there are government grants and of course, sponsorships that one can earn to help produce the amount to pay for tuition fee and unfortunately, when it comes to international students, sometimes, they pay more than a student that is within the country.

Now, going across to Germany, believe it or not, when it comes to tuition fee, no matter if you are going to high school or university. It's all consider free.


Sorry for the late update.

tiptoe1:
Germany, economic powerhouse of Europe. Well both countries have their pros and cons. for example, Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship whereby Canada allows that and also you can easily get your PR in Canada compared to Germany.

But I still pick Germany.

Hadampson and Germany is just like Mr Bean and his Teddy bear. Unconditional love

Du hast recht

In terms of healthcare, Canada is considered a socialist system in which the money for the healthcare is gained from tax from its citizens. Now Germany works a little bit differently because it has what we can call sickness fund. They are basically a form of health insurance but for people who make less than €50,000 a year, they are put into public healthcare system. Well, everyone pays through a joint employer and employee system and when it comes to the budget of these countries, Germany spends 11.3% of its GDP on its healthcare and Canada spend 10.3% of its GDP.

However, the life expectancy of a Canadian is approximately 83.8 years while life expectancy of a German citizen is roughly 83.1 years

tohyorsih:
yes. it's difficult for me to search for the one you wrote up there

New ID is hadampson2019

tohyorsih:
pls change it

Lol... I can change bah


New ID = hadampson 2019

Now, when it comes to GDP, the money comes from many different things from jobs to imports and exports

However, just having GDP and population doesn't really give a gram scheme of the differences between these two countries.. We should probably look at the living cost and expenses.

According to some websites, if you move to Germany from Canada, the cost in Canada for living would be as follows

Food = 11% higher than the person in Germany. As for rent price in Canada are 6.46% higher than in Germany, entertainment is about 16% and transportation is about 8% lower than in Germany and when it comes to price of clothes, it's about 19% lower in Canada.

However, that being said personal care in Canada is 25% more than in Germany. But if you want to buy house, it's quite cheaper in Canada.

In certain areas of a country, there are several cities that are more expensive to live. In Canada, the cities are Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Vancouver and Calgary just to mention a few and in Germany, the top 5 most expensive place to live are Berlin, Munich, düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Cologne and Hamburg

what's your ID?

tohyorsih:
ok

Now i have downloaded the app.. How am i going to add you now??

Now, let us look at the GDP of these countries, how much do these countries make

Germany ranked 4th in the world with a total of $4.029 trillion with per capital of $48,669 (nominal) ranking 17th in the world

Canada however has $1,820 trillion GDP ranking 10th in the world and its nominal GDP per capital which is $48,601 which ranks 16th in the world

Seriously, i don't know how Canada would actually beat Germany, doesn't make alot of sense to me BUT that is what i found

tohyorsih:
ok

Downloading in progress

Ugosample:
Both countries are good in their own way.

Yes boss, but some people usually argue that one is better than the other

eduson33:
when will African countries be discussed like this?

Calm down boss

Very soon

Here we go


Germany might be a country that is not as BIG as Canada but doesn't really need to be, not really because the country has a landsize of 348,560 square kilometer with a population of 82,400,360 people ranking 19th in the world and when it comes to this population, they have approximately 237 people per square kilometer

Canada on the other hand, is HUGE, OMG it has the second largest landsize in the world for a country coming in with a landsize of 9,093,510 square kilometer with a population of 37,193,005. It is actually ranked 38th in the world when it comes to population and for its density of population, it is very small with 4 people per square kilometer

tohyorsih:
yes

You know, maybe i will have to download wechat because of you cos i don't use the app

tohyorsih:
i'm not on any

OMG

So, you only do we chat??
