When I applied for Canada permanent residency in 2019 scores to apply were low, now the scores are high. If my friend asks me to show him way, how can i help him. Even me if i applied today my points will be low due to age and wont qualify.Some of those guys you chatted probably dont have papers and are lying low to survive and do menial jobs. They obviously wont be interested in letting u come join them adding to their bills and risking them being arrested. So these people are not discouraging you things are not how it used to be.

GogetterMD: Guy leave story. It's either the story is a lie or the bank manager is an illegal. With her banking experience she can easily get a teller retail job in any financial institution. We live her and know how it works. Enough with all this story of someone coming here to wash plates. It's becoming stale n boring. 4 Likes 1 Share |

krissconnect:why do you need anyone to give you link when you can easily get what you want on the internet?. And one of the many reasons they are reluctant is they don't want anyone to burden them which is true. You have no idea what people go through outside Nigeria. You don't know how they live. So please stop unnecessary nagging. You can get what you want on social media. I have received visitors from nija in the past and some of them are bad experiences. Some of them came here and started preaching Jesus to me and my neighbors. I honestly don't blame anyone who refuses to welcome visitors and other thing is how visitors get you in trouble if care is not taken. As for jobs, I have no problem showing folks how to get job but I can never welcome visitors from Nigeria again. So if you want to travel, have your own resources and get yourself well informed and stop nagging. No one is responsible for you or discourage you. Western world is another setting entirely especially if you never had experience with bill payments. So you wanna become burden on someone?. So I don't get why you need someone to give you link when you can easily get them on social media. 9 Likes |

fredoooooo: You are right, but the insecurity back home is something else, you can return home wealthy, and then get kidnapped, pay ransom, back to square one. Businesses are falling apart. In Nigeria now, except you are providing services, as a business person, nah God hands you dey. I don't discourage people from relocating back to Nigeria after so many years o, but this isn't the time, these are very precarious times in the history of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

krissconnect:The internet is your best link not humans. To be fair to them no human being has the power to take you to their host country as you'll still need to subject yourself to an immigration process. Nevertheless I'll tell you a short story. A friend reached out to me that he had been admitted into a university in toronto and needed a place to stay. His tuition was in the region of $50,000 and he was planning to apply for a student visa with the hope of being able to work and pay the fees. I did not want to discourage him but I knew his plan was not a good one but felt if I told him what I thought he'll think otherwise. I sent him links for one bed apartments in toronto (all starting from $1,800 monthly). He asked if he couldnt get anything cheaper but I told him he could rent a room in someone's apartment for cheaper. His budget was $500 monthly which I couldn't find. He later asked if he could stay in the outskirts and I suggested that he checks the cost of transportation from the outskirts to the city. Rents in the entire greater toronto area are high. In addition I susggested that he should try and pay his tuition so he can work for his rent/upkeep as no 20 hour a week job will be sufficient to finance a $50k fee. He cut contact with me and told his senior brother I was trying to discourage him from coming. My reality was that I moved to toronto on a PR not study permit. I had a job offer and someone accommodated me for two weeks. During the two weeks I slept on a couch which was not comfortable but then I was determined not to spend out of the USD10,000 I travelled here with. I opened a bank account and got a credit card with a $4,000 limit. In the third week I paid $1,454 for an AirBnB . I also received my first bi-weekly salary in the third week and have been earning a good income every two Fridays. I later rented my place outside the city jointly with a friend for the time being till I was able to get a credit score which is required to rent an apartment independently. I reached out to an old friend who had moved to canada 10 years ago with less than a thousand dollars and he told me his canadian girlfriend took a line of credit on his behalf and gave him to pay his fees while he repaid her back when he graduated and started working. But he mentioned that toronto is a much more expensve city than where he studied at. So again I'll suggest you try to get as much information as possible from the web . The realities may be discouraging but I still feel canada offers a more conducive environment for a young person than nigeria 18 Likes 2 Shares |

okeysoninv:they have been in the suffering long, they have become accustomed to it, they don't want someone that will come there and spoil show. e.g when things were bad for me abroad, a friend wouldn't let me be kept saying anything at all he will do when he comes abroad. I tried everything to stop him that Nigeria is better, but he won't take no for an answer. when he sold huge piece of land to fund his trip. and then arriving, he started disturbing my peace about how things are hard. which I told him clearly. that we try to eat only once a day. the hunger was severe, that it made him to steal from my employer. and the both of us were fired, because I was the one that brought him. he refused to listen to me and kept acting wild. like offing his shirt in the public like a tout, and keep drawing attention to ourselves. like screaming so loud and doing warri no dey carry last. I had to discharge because this friend would get me deported. when he was deported, he came and told people in Nigeria that i am wicked, I only gave him food once a day and I act small instead of fighting people who wanna mess with me and I left him to get deported. He tainted my reputation and integrity back home 12 Likes |

Because they are not sure if you have what it takes to survive out there. Out there is a jungle, you must be ready to hit the ground and running. Some people get abroad and wait on their host to babysit them and do everything for them. It's a struggle out there bro. If you truly believe you can make it work, then don't wait on anybody's approval. Go for it 1 Like |

xandy84: Nothing surprises me anymore. Send him the car, you'll also end up clearing it. Then later, you'll send more when repairs emerge. If you later bail, they will talk about how you wickedly sent them a car without adequate money to maintain it. My brother, since I stopped caring about what people think or say about me, I've been living in peace. I can't help an average Nigerian and I don't care if they see me as wicked or whatever. Experience, they say, is the best teacher, and I've learned. 9 Likes |
