I know of the TRV and validity. You just pray about it for God's direction. Cos at times, what looks juicy in man's eyes may not be an ultimate thing. All the best!

EXACTLY! It truly looks very juicy to me from here but those over there keep throwing cold water. I wish I can find out what it is exactly that sour them. Or maybe they just pretending

darkmarky:
now na... Or u want when dollar is 5,000 naira , na when u go wan japa? Abeg japa now bro.

Exactly my mindset, though the job is also somewhat pegged to $ and inflation

Omoawoke2:


If your ticket is flexible, you can always move it

It is not. I had option to buy insurance to make it so but I did not as I saw it as waste of money - couldn't envision any scenario whereby I didn't travel

2Radii:


Thanks bro, I really appreciate

I will make sure I lodge for PR instead of one nonsense visiting visa, if my PR is secured then I will move, if not I will continue with my hustling here.
I can't jeopardise my potentials here for an uncertainty...never

Quite different when you already have the plane ticket and head saturated with Canadian ideas

I will ask for refund from the flight company, and I will terminate whatever vague ideas I have about the slave master country..

PoliteActivist:

Lol, I’ve never bought a ticket without making it flexible.

Me whey dey change flight date like anything.

Omoawoke2:

Me whey dey change flight date like anything.

Meaning? I bought my ticket online through CheapoAir and the fees and everything about changing the date amounts to too much and I'm quite unwilling to lose so much of my hard earned money instead of just using it

2Radii:

Lol, doesn't work quite like that. They don't give refund

PoliteActivist:


Lol, doesn't work quite like that. They don't give refund

so what is ur plan now


Before before my plan was to secure a visit visa but after reviewing all these on ur thread, bro a don calm down jare

I also have 5-year Canadian visa since last December but I'm not willing to move now because it's a VV and I don't want to be stranded overthere.

I bought my ticket since July but my brother overthere said I can't really do much with VV. I tire oooooo.

I tell you my bros, there's something that sours people there about the place. Don't know what it is. All we here see is dollar!😆

As for me, I know I haven't invested all these resources, and emtional energy, blood, sweat, and tears, to have it go just like that. But I also know I don't want to go from a fairly good life I have here to a "hustle", cold, possibly lonesome one. But I also know Nigeria has problems and Tinubu is not helping matters. But I also know I'm not willing to let a potentially 1.5m+ dream job go just like that. But I also know I already have ideas and dreams about Canada. But I also know cold gives me headache and catarrh. But I also know I love travel and adventure. But I also know a bird in the hand...

500k isnt a big salary in nigeria today, you cant live comfortably with a family with that amount... please run to canada and dont look back

U see these numerous buts are what u need to sort out to eradicate ur confusions

PoliteActivist:


Easier said than done. My mind wants BOTH!

It's up to you but that's my opinion, I did it and am glad i took that decision

07034591079. Call him and ask him to help shed lights on the matter. He won't ask you to come see him or buy any anointing oil or ask for money. Only prayers. I've introduced him to lots of people here and they've all testified to God's goodness with their problems totally solved. He will pray on it and anyone God approves, just go for it. Take care.

lanresz:
Unfortunately, Canada is not US. Nothing like hustle without proper document. Again visiting visa is not a relocation visa. If you spend the 6 months in Canada at once, you better have detailed explanation on what you were doing in Canada when you want to re-enter. Your 10 years visa may be canceled at the time of entry. Does Canada give visa beyond the validity of once passport? How come you got 10 years visa?

You are right - it is 10 years or till expiration of passport, whichever comes first.
Thanks for your candid advice. So many things to put into consideration. If only I weren't already emotionally invested in Canada and already have my plane ticket. It is a real dilemma - especially considering I already have a fairly good life here, then add to it a potential 1.5m+ a month. Not an easy choice at all

2Radii:

That's life - a whole bunch of buts! Don't know why things can't be simple and straightforward just ONCE!

YourGFsnatcher:

I will not advise you to go to Canada. We just finished a webinar on relocation, ALL the participants from Canada are regretting ever going there especially at this moment. Canada was good, but they are undergoing a serious economic crisis, housing has sky rocketed. You need at least three jobs to stay put. On average salary u will spent almost 70% of it on rent. You need other jobs to take care of other bills. Something terrible is currently happening there. But if you want to relocate you can check other countries that are still okay, that are not undergoing any economy crisis. Cos it won't be good to go with your small change and have to spend it all without even fully settling. I will advice you take that job. Your life is set already. You can go to any country for vacation u like with that salary and you will live large in Nigeria. Before you can live large in Canada it ll tale years or the mighty grace of God... u ll only be working hard to keep up with the bills. If you have a car, car insurance alone is 500 dollars monthly. That's almost a small car in Nigeria. This means Before u finish paying your bills, buy a car and pay for everything to drive a car in Canada will not be Bean's. But in Nigeria all these are already made for you.

Thanks a lot for your very candid and erudite advice. Same advice I've gotten severally from people in the know. Though the 500K is only probationary and will quickly double, I already have my ticket and ideas in my head predicated on Cana. That and extremely itchy feet!

PoliteActivist:


Not possible with this particular job, also I honestly want to leave now - village people and all

It's less stressful if you are not married. Many families in Nigeria are passing through emotional stress. It's seems there no peace in the world anymore. Some are dieing to go while some are bringing back their families.

Resurgent2016:


thread carefully , so you don;t join the league of "abroad is harder than Nigeria".

A visitor visa is likely not easy to use to secure a job abroad.

That TRV wasn't easy to get o. I know the resources and emotional energy it took. So it's not something I can easily walk away from - especially as I already bought the ticket!

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


Thanks.

You quite welcome. You into tech also?

PoliteActivist:

Not yet.

Passionate to start but confused about the best option to take.

Great! Wish you the best bro

wizi4tyn:
This is just funny to read shaaa. Even as a young person and unmarried, 500k isn’t a big amount. Yes I know it’s not common, but it’s not a huge amount of money.

How much is rent sef? Cos of living no be beans for NAIJA. That 500k isn’t so big. That just about the pay for beginning intermediate level range in quite a number of IT places in Lagos. Don’t know about other states.

Canada is easily the choice here

If you've followed the thread you'd know the 500K is probationary and quickly doubles. But I counterbalance that with the fact I already have my plane ticket, Canadian dreams, and itchy feet!

Go for it. Cybersecurity, web development, programming, data analysis, are all good areas to start

Kenn55:
He is been advised not to go to Canada and instead take the job because he has a visit visa not cos of the reasons you stated above. The exaggerated reasons you stated above is not enough not to go if he had a PR and has factored in the big picture.

This is actually true. That's what all in the know want to know - do I have a PR. Once I say no, they become discouraging.
What do you think of this method below. How feasible?

alyarmouk:
Ook. I quite understand you now. Sorry, one chance will never locate you(I take it back). It's just that, our country isn't countrying the way a country should country. If you have a better life here..then you're good to stay. Cuz most people out there hustling abroad is for a better life here upon retirement. So, you're a step ahead. As for me. If I see a slavery job abroad, I'm gone!

Amen! One chance will never be our portion. If you see a slavery job you're gone? Be careful what you wish for.
See my post above. What do you think of that asylum method? Maybe u could consider it?

otunbadan:



Dey monitor English … I Dey where I Dey

You are NOT in Cana, you don’t fool me😁

Taal17:


I'm not sure what your dilemma is really.
You have a job offer in Nigeria and you wanna hope on crystal ball for Canada
All you have is Canadian visit visa..it means nothing.
Doesn't give a job,
No access to housing,
No benefits
Nada
You can't convert VV to work permits ( and please ignore any info that you can use LMIA yada yada biko).

Tech connections and so what? You're not going there with resident permit so how does that help. You know you can work remote with tech regardless of your location

What hustle? Do you know where you're going. It's Canada..which yeye hustle?

If you wanna visit Canada you can go whenever the heck you want.

You're not sure what my dilemma is?
I have a potential 1.5m+ dream job offer balanced against my ticket and the resources, dreams, and emotions I have invested in Canada, and you don't know what my dilemma is??
Thanks for your sincere advice anyway

justmondris:

Well just pray about it and make your decision and be ready to man up and take the responsibility if it didn't go as planned.

The quiet inner voice tells me to calm down and take a little time to get things right before traveling. But that's not what I myself want to do. I want to start experiencing Canada now!
