sheeda995: sheeda995: On one hand you are claiming to be Canadian and on the other hand you are admitting here that you tried to japa and failed but that was when you were naive. This is exactly why I said earlier that something is not adding up. Why are you trying to claim that you are who you are not? I don't get it. |

CoronaVirusPro: If you qualify for the job, I don't see any reason for the US company not to give you the offer. It does not take the employer any more efforts on their side to hire a Canadian than it would take for them to hire an American. In both cases (for American or Canadian), all the company needs to do is to give you an offer letter. It is the responsibility of the employee to get the visa without the employer doing anything else. Anyway, if you think that writing and giving a job offer to a Canadian exactly the same way they would to American is an extra hassle to the employer, I don't agree with that. And I think we can leave it this way that you believe what you want, and I believe what I want. Peace! |

sheeda995: sheeda995: You claim to be a Canadian in this post and we can see that you are also a Nigerian from reading your other posts. This makes you a Nigerian Canadian like some of us. If this is the case, something is not adding up for me that you are calling someone living and working in Europe a slave when you yourself is a Nigerian Canadian. |

Eriokanmi: I am not sure where you are getting your information from about a naturalized US citizen losing their citizenship if they decide to leave the US to live in another country without looking back. If you as a naturalized citizen want to live outside of the USA forever, just make sure that you are filing your US taxes annually. If this is done, you are good to go and you will never lose your citizenship (based on the laws that exists today). There are certain things that can make you lose your US citizenship, but prolonged absence from the US is not one of them. You can check the following links about living outside of the US as a naturalized US citizen for more details: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/can-i-move-abroad-after-becoming-naturalized-us-citizen.html https://www.stilt.com/blog/2020/06/can-i-lose-my-us-citizenship-if-i-live-abroad/ https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-l |

CoronaVirusPro: CoronaVirusPro: It looks to me like you are mixing a lot of things up here. TN visa and H1B visa are both work visa that have different requirements and benefits. Here are a couple of points about both type of work visas: 1. Only Canadian citizens and Mexican citizens can apply for TN visa while anybody all over the world can apply for H1B visa. 2. TN visa does NOT need employer sponsorship while H1B needs employer sponsorship. For TN visa, all you need is a valid employment. You don’t need to be in the US to get the job. People get qualified US job while still in Canada. 3. There is quota on the number of HB1 visa issued annually while there is no quota on the number of TN visa issued annually. 4. TN visa is limited to certain professions while HB1 visa is not. 5. TN visa can be obtained immediately at a U.S. port of entry/airport with your letter of employment on the day you are leaving for the US. On the other hand, H1B visa can only be obtained by filing a petition with USCIS which can take several months. 6. TN visa does NOT allow for dual intent while HB1 visa allows for dual intent. Meaning, applicant can intend to be nonimmigrants and eventually leave the U.S. while also intending to stay permanently. 7. Both the TN visa and the H1B visa can be issued in increments of 1 day to 3 years per stay 8. TN visa can be renewed unlimited amount of times while the H1B visa is generally limited to 6 years. You can read the following links about the similarities and differences between these two types of visas. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/h-1b-tn-visa-which-should-canadian-mexican-choose.html https://rjimmigrationlaw.com/resources/as-a-canadian-should-i-apply-for-a-tn-visa-or-an-h-1b-visa/ https://www.immi-usa.com/h1b-visa-vs-tn-visa/ My take is, if you get a qualified job as a Canadian, then TN visa is very easy to get (note that I did not say that the visa is guaranteed). About Mexican flooding the US boarder instead of applying for TN visa, my guess is that those flooding the boarder do not have the education requirement to qualify for TN visa and they are also not in the professions that qualify for TN visa. Note that most profession (I did not say all) that requires a Bachelor’s degree qualify for TN visa. In my view, the reasons some Canadian are applying for H1B visa instead of TN visa could be because those applying for H1B visa do not have the education requirement to qualify for TN visa and they are also not in the professions that qualify for TN visa. In addition to that, they may also prefer H1B because of the dual intent explained above that H1B visa allows for but TN visa does not allow for. 1 Like 1 Share |

GUNITGuy: I have read from page 1 to this page 7 and it seemed that you are the only one so far that has the full gist. Everybody is just blaming the estranged husband without knowing what led to this. Yes, the estranged husband is not a saint, but this lady is not any better. She brought this upon herself. She miscalculated in her attempt to bully her estranged husband and it backfired. She paid several bloggers to bully the guy. The whole thing is on YouTube and Facebook. I read that she enjoys paying bloggers to bully people. She met her match this time around and it backfired. I do not pity her at all. She brought private family issues to social media to bully her estranged husband. The husband did not respond initially until she started talking about the size of his manhood, how he can not perform in bed etc. I am not saying that the guy did or did not do the things she accused him of doing but those things and other things should not have been brought to the social media in the first place like she did. Which marriage does not have its own up and down? But not everything is meant for social media. I don’t care what happened in their private life but bringing it to social media is a no no. 1 Like |

MT: Before you come here misleading people, you need to do more research about the advantage a Canadian Citizen has over someone from Africa and even over someone from Western Europe as far as working in the USA and potentially US migration. I will try to break it down for you: There is the TN Visa for Canadians and Mexicans under USMCA. This is a work visa for Canadians and Mexicans only. You do not need any employer to sponsor you for this work visa. All you need is a valid job offer (not a sponsor). Only Canadians and Mexicans qualify for this work visa category. Even western Europeans are not qualified. You can read more about this here: https://canadiansinusa.com/work-visas/tn/ https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/employment/visas-canadian-mexican-nafta-professional-workers.html So now, tell me, is there any US work visa category that someone from Africa can apply for and get with just a job offer (without the need for employer sponsorship). If not, is that not an advantage a Canadian Citizen has over someone from Africa? Note that job offer is different from employer sponsorship. Some USA work visa categories require that the employer sponsors you for the visa in addition to giving you a job offer. TN Visa requires only a job offer and you good to apply for the visa on your own as long as you meet other requirements. As for getting transferred by your employer from any country into the US, that is where there is no advantage as a Canadian citizen over someone from Africa and that is where the example you gave about being transferred from Chevron Nigeria to Chevron USA is applicable. The work visa for work transfer category is also different. It is the L Visas (L-1A Visa and L-1B Visa).

tensazangetsu20: The above is an exaggeration. There is now way this person would have made USD$22 Million by investing only USD$50K in the GameStop (GME) stock from when it was listed till today December 12, 2021. The lowest (all time low) GME has ever traded was USD$2.57 and this happened on April 3, 2020. While the highest (all time high) it has traded is USD$483 and this was on January 28, 2021. This means that even: 1. If this person bought the stock at the all time low of $2.57, he would have bought about 9,456 units (50,000/2.57 = 19456) with his $50K 2. If the person now sold all the 9,456 units at the all time high of $483, he would make about USD$9.4 Million ($483 x 19456 = $9.4 Million). $9.4 Million is still an excellent return but it is way too far from the exaggerated amount of $22 Million the person claimed to have made. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
Travel / Re: UK Or Canada Which Should I Choose; Study Abroad by naijaman3: 7:20pm On Nov 05, 2021 |
Gwan2: Bro, your analysis and conclusion that when it comes to PR through the express entry, someone that studied outside of Canada has equal level base with another person that studied in Canada is incorrect for the following reasons: 1. Considering that after you completed your studies in Canada, you can apply for a Post Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) to gain work experience which you can in turn use to apply for PR through the Canadian Work Experience Class. The person that studied outside of Canada can not have PGWP and as a result will not have Canadian experience needed to be able to apply through the Canadian Work Experience Class. Note that job offer is not required for this pathway. 2. Some provinces also have special pathway to PR for people that graduated from their provinces. Again, a person that studied outside of Canada does not have that opportunity. Granted, you need to study in that province to qualify but at least you can narrow your schooling to such provinces when applying to study. Note that I am not talking about the generic Provincial Nomination Pathway here. For this special provincial nomination, you must have completed your studies in the province that have this program in place. 3. See the link here for more options that someone who studied in Canada has over and above the options everybody else has: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/work/after-graduation.html Gwan2: As for the above, this is misinformation. The time you spent on your student visa (about 4 or 5 years for first degree and 1 or 2 years for Masters and 3 or more years for PhD) and on graduate work visa ( 2 or 3 years work visa as the case may be) does not count toward the 5 years needed to secure indefinite leave.

canadaddy: Your information above, particularly those in bold, is so incorrect. Correct information as as follows: 1. Registered Nurse (RN) requires a B.Sc. degree in nursing which takes 4 years to complete after high school. 2. Practical Nurse (RPN or LPN) requires diploma in practical nurse which takes 2 years to complete after high school. It is lower than RN and has limitations as to what you can do. 3. Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a postgraduate program (Master's program). To be admitted into the program, you need to first have B.Sc. degree in Nursing and be registered as a RN. It will take minimum of 2 years to complete after completion of B.Sc. degree in Nursing and being an RN.

sabanageorge: Regarding the amount of time you have to finally decide if you want to move to Canada or not without loosing your PR status, you really do not have a problem because if you plan properly you actually still have about 3 (three years) to make that decision. So, how did I come about three years and what do you need to do? How did I come about three years? Well, as per Canadian Immigration requirement, the condition you have to meet to keep your PR status is that you must be living in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) during the last five years and these 730 days don’t need to be continuous. What do you need to do now in the next 2 months? Well all you need to do now is to do short landing for some days (maybe say 1 week but the more time the better). So, take short vacation to Canada from your current work just for the purpose of landing. Go back to your work in Nigeria after your short vacation. You now have 3 years (three) from when you depart Canada to return to Canada so as not to loose your PR status. If you decide to move to Canada after spending 3 years in Nigeria, you must now stay live in Canada for 2 years before you can travel out again. Note, If I was in your shoes and I decide to return to Canada, I will do so after only 2 years (not using all of my 3 years window).

I struggle not to comment on this because the person in question is dead but I changed my mind because I think some things must be made clear about how things work in Canada. First, I give credit to Pius for doing well for himself as a Nigerian Canadian, but the fact is that within the Nigerian Canadian community, he is not exceptional (as per Canadian standard) to be given the privilege being mentioned here. Apology is not impossible if they made a mistake (not saying it happened or did not happened) but going to stamp visa on passport at home is definitely not true. There are lot of Nigerian Canadians who are Engineers, Medical Doctors, Professors, Accountant, Ph.D holders making Nigeria proud here in Canada and holding very top position up to C-Level positions where they work. By the way, being invited as a guest speaker the Department of Foreign Affairs is not a big deal here. You don’t have to be important or hold any high post to be invited as a guest speaker at an even as long as they know you have something of value to say. Many Nigerian Canadians get invited by one arm of the government or the other as guest speakers at government organized events regularly. The main part of the write up that point to the fact that this story is cooked up is that his mom was denied visa three times (not once) and it took the intervention of a high level government official to overturn the refusal. If he is so important to Canada and as it is being pointed out, why was his mom denied visa three times? Typically, once you are denied once, your sponsor can appeal with more supporting facts and most often than not the visa will be issued at that point. So, in this case, what we are being made to understand is that each time his mom reapplied he did not give information to the visa that will enable them know that he is a very valuable Canadian as such be accorded some respect by giving her mom a visa at least the second time after additional information must have been provided. The fact that his mom was denied visa actually points that nobody knows or value him in Canada because he is not exceptional as per Canadian standard. As I mentioned before, my write-up is not to rubbish Pius Adesanmi's accomplishments but just to set the fact straight. May the good Lord comfort the family he left behind. Finally, this is the only time I will comment on this topic no matter what anybody says about it. If you like call me names or abuse me. I will not dignify you with a response. 1 Like 2 Shares |

naijaman3: ahiboilandgas: ahiboilandgas: This will be my last comment on this as I will not like to derail this thread. @ahiboilandgas: It is obvious that reading comprehension is your problem but I will try to break it down for you before I give up finally on you. First, the following two statements are not the same (take note of the position of the word OVER in the two statements): First statement: OVER 90% of Canadians make $30K annually (this is your own statement which is wrong): What this your wrong statement means is that if you take 100 Canadians, 90 or more of those 100 Canadians make $30K annually (i.e they make exactly $30K, not more and not less). Only 10 or less than 10 out of the 100 make an amount different from $30K annually (i.e The amount that the less that 10 people out of 100 people make could be more than $30K and it could less than $30K). This is definitely wrong and it is not what the data I produced above is suggesting. The correct statement will be second one below. Second statement: 90% of Canadians make OVER $30K annually (This is different statement from yours and it is what the data above is suggesting): What this correct statement means is that if you take 100 Canadians, 90 of those 100 Canadians make more than $30K annually (this means that 90 people make anywhere from $31K to infinity amount). Only 10 out of the 100 people make anything less than $30K. For you to better comprehend, here is the break down of this 2013 numbers: $25,000 = 94th percentile (This means 94% make $25K or more. It also shows that 41% (94 minus 53) make between $25K & $50K) $50,000 = 53rd percentile (This means 53% make $50K or more. It also shows that 26% (53 minus 27) make between $50K & & 75K) $75,000 = 27th percentile (This means 27% make $75K or more. It also show that 13% (27 minus 14) make between $75K & $100K) $100,000 = 14th percentile (This means 14% make $100K or more. It also shows that 9% (14 minus 5) make between $100K & $150K) $150,000 = 5th percentile (This means 5% make $150K or more. It also shows that 3% (5 minus 2) make between $150K & $225K) $225,000 = 2nd percentile (This means that 2% make $225K or more. It also shows that 1% (2 minus 1) make between $225K & $300K) $300,000 = 1st percentile (This means that 1% make $300K or more) I give up after this if you still find it difficult to comprehend his simple information. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

tolani4real: @tolani4real Going by the part of your message above in bold, when it comes to taxes and the remaining income after taxes & deductions in Canada some of you are just not getting it. At the income you calculated above ($33,280), if he lives in Alberta he would only pay $5998 (or 18.02%) in taxes & other deductions (Employment Insurance - EI & Canadian Pension Plan - CPP). By the way EI and CPP are not even taxes. Regarding how he could potentially spend the after tax income with due diligent if he wants to save a lot see my write up here on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/4857306/monthly-savings-canada/10#73854976 Regarding what his taxes, EI and CPP are being used for that he gets for free in Canada which he would otherwise have paid for in Nigeria, see my other write up on another thread: https://www.nairaland.com/4795992/7-m-annual-income-move#72235695 Regarding how much tax, EI and CPP he would pay depending on his income and province of residence, see the link here: https://simpletax.ca/calculator 17 Likes 9 Shares |
