unless he has one scarce skill employers are unable to find in Canada. The government requires that employers consider those in Canada first ( citizens, permanent residents, students etc) before considering outsiders. Possible but very unlikely. Less than a 2% chance. There are many Nigerians in Canada right now that are stranded on visiting visa and have been unable to get jobs. Some agents here are charging 20k dols to arrange jobs ( which is illegal) .Some are going back home while others are looking for asylum or marriage

Those that live in Canada never see money buy house, you want to sell the asset to move to Canada? On a tourist visa? What do people hear about these western countries that make them consider such options?

Tourist visa: stop right there. This is not permission to relocate or become resident, or even work.

You didn't tell your friend of the recent story about the family that sold everything, moved to Canada (or was it UK), and are sorry to have nothing now.

To work, he needs to have Canadian experience (unless a doctor or some other hot field right now). Meaning your guy will be washing pant, dead body, or plates for few years.

Abeg, dem no dey telli person again. Make e go Canada, enrich an agent and the airline while at it. Maybe in a few years, we'll be enjoying that ones sob story about how he wanted to japa at 43! and sold all his resources to be boy-boy in oyinbo land.

Is he an illiterate that cannot think fo himself? How will a tourist visa convert itself to a work permit? How will he get a tourist visa for 5 years when Canada issues a tourist visa based on the expiry date of his passport? So if you have 6 months left on your passport, you will get 6 months visa. If you apply with a 10-year fresh passport, and your eligibility is not in doubt. You will be given 10 years based on the date your biometrics were captured.

A friend came to me yesterday, he wanted to sell his house to relocate to Canada. He is 42+ yrs. He is assured of a tourist visa that will cost him 1.8m excluding ticket.

He wants to know if it is worth it considering his age. Also he is afraid that if he sells his house in Ilorin (a new site) and the things go south what will happen.

Another thing he is assured is that his visa can be extended before expiration. He wants to know whether he can truly work with a tourist visa of 5 yrs and whether his visa can be extended.

Did your "friend" ask you to come to nairaland to ask for him?

After he discussed with you the above, what did you tell him?

Are you now going to compile all the responses here and send to your "friend"?

Re: Can I Sell My House To Relocate 2 Canada At The Age Of 43 On A 5yr Tourist Visa? by TheGift: 8:17pm On Aug 08, 2023

When I hear some kind of questions, I want to weep.

I don't have any answers for you, just questions?

Does the tourist Visa come with a five year work permit?

Will you he be able to do any legal job that earns him more than money to survive?

What happens after 5 years?

If he has to come back to Nigeria, will he rent. House near the house he sold or somewhere else?

Has he read the parable about killing the goose that lays the golden egg?

Let me give you a simple advice...
Right now 🇨🇦 is doing well by giving couple of people visit visa dis days... nobody knows why dey open dia border... anyway with a visit or tourist visa... You friends chances of getting a work authorization is like 3% out of 100... with is his current age.. the percentage is even low...

-He won't be able to do any work
-To even sweep ground for a resturant or wash plates... he will surely need a work card
- tell him to come with enough money so he won't get frustrated
- nobody will house him for long in canada unless his close family member are dere... so he should think abt that
- some other options to stay legal is to get married...
Finding a wife with ur Immigration status is like Finding a gold... who won marry visitor? He may be lucky sha
- aslyum is another option... tho wen the results comes out and he fail... na immediate removal straight .. if he succeed.. his consider a lucky man.. tho it's takes d grace of God because we ain't war tour country to consider for refugee...

Final advice.. let him use his house to borrow some money... den he ca travel for 3months and see how it is over dere... just selling of ur properties to migrate to Canada on visit visa no just make sense

Nice suggestion

5 year visa doesn't mean he will stay there for 5 years. There's a maximum number of days u can stay for a tourist visa. And he can't work with a tourist visa.

I don't think it's a wise decision to sell all that he has to relocate at 43. I know young people with PR who are still struggling to get jobs over there.

Also, the offer sounds like a scam in process....

Absolutely NOT! He can NOT work with a tourist visa legally. He might get a menial job that would pay him under the table. The problem with such an arrangement is that the employer would take advantage of his non-immigrant status and use and abuse him. In some cases, the same employer would be the one that would report him to Immigration if he fails to do what his employer wants him to do knowing that he's working in the country illegally. Furthermore, if he gets caught, Canadian Immigration is more stringent than the US and would deport him ASAP unlike the US which would take time to go through the court process before deportation. So, advise your friend whatever he does, NOT to sell his property. The visa agent can promise him heaven on earth now and when it comes down to it, he would leave your friend in a lurch. A word is enough for the wise!

Re: Can I Sell My House To Relocate 2 Canada At The Age Of 43 On A 5yr Tourist Visa? by SURElee(f): 8:30pm On Aug 08, 2023

Why tourist visa?
As a tourist will he be able to work?
Now is he married,? why not he goes through the study entry pathway? Which is the easiest now.

Even if he doesn't want to study, his wife can gain admission and he goes as a dependant.

As a tourist, nope! he might not be able to access all benefits.

The study pathway allows him work and later on integrate into the Canadian system.

So him or his wife should consider the study secure route and admissions are open against Sept next year now

It depends. First. Learn a high income skill like tech, business analysis or truck driving, auto mechanic etc. It's worth it.

If he wants to sell his house, why doesn't he relocate to Canada the right way ie process the highly skilled program or one of the other legit migratory route.
As far as I know, you cannot work with the normal tourist visa. Try that, if caught, wahala.
With thr proper route, you can work, madam can work, kids will go to school. Etc.

There are questions he must ask himself…..Can he do menial jobs? In canada you can’t work on a tourist visa, it is a crime. He wants to sell his house to live an excruciating life in canada. Right now it is easier for him to secure PR or study visa than tourist visa. Canada no dey give tourist visa oh! He will be scammed by those demonic agents. NIGERIA is too hard to loose the little that you have.
