tensazangetsu20: I beg to disagree on your assertion about the UK. The UK is actually a very great country but because of HOW most of our people got here, and the CONDITIONS in which they got here coupled with the fact that we don't support ourselves its Hellish my pals from Korea are really loving it here cos their circumstances are much diff 2 Likes |

tensazangetsu20:After living in UK and Canada , I'd say Canada is less rough for a skilled immigrant. If you are patient, hardworking and a good planner it is quite easy to get stable in Canada. Express entry rules are clear which can be used to get permission to live and work in canada. After that, one can move to Canada with money + skills and battle out the job market and gradually build. Problem with our culture is the love for doing things anyhow without planning. Thus you can find someone dealing with spouse, children, immigration, financial and career issues all at the same time in foreign country. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

tensazangetsu20:Never. I came to canada as a single person aged 30 with a professional job offer in hand and support from friends but I still struggled. I slept on my friend's sofa for 3 weeks before moving to an Air bnB (after earning my first paycheck). Stayed in a basement for one month. Then moved to another air bnb (room in a chinese couple home) where I stayed for 3 months. I could not compete for apartment rental for 4 months. All rental applications were rejected due to skin color, lack of canadian rental history, credit history and low credit score. The only landlord that accepted my application in the 4th month demanded for 5 months rent upfront. I can't imagine going through this with dependents. It was not easy. 25 Likes 4 Shares |

pansophist:Going to study abroad for the purpose of upskilling is great. Going to canada as a student without money is like hell. I studied in UK about 10 years ago when the exchange rate was about 270 and I had a very good time. The struggle I see students in canada go through is not worth it and very unfair of the country to offer such abysmal study experience to internation students who pay so much. Canada has a skilled worker program (express entry) that makes it possible for highly skilled professionals to come into the country and employers tend to hire these candidates based on their skills and experiences. International students with no experience are usually not able to compete with these candidates in the job market and end up struggling. As for adult students who moved en mass in 2021-2023 only time will tell if the Canadian immigration system does not axe them 11 Likes 1 Share |

tshtsh: This is Canada o. You can imagine countries where the first language isn't English. I migrated to Chile and I planned it well. I even took the pains to find a house from Nigeria and paid a year worth of rent and it was worth it for me to be honest. 6 Likes |

tensazangetsu20:The thing is you cant even explain things to people such that they will understand. When people come to my apartment now they will think everything worked out easily but it wasn't. Some people will definitely have it easier but my own experience was harsh and I landed the country as a PR , employer supported me and friend picked me up + housed me for 3weeks 4 Likes |

tshtsh: Honestly, it's just that Nigeria is a shithole and the country is getting worst everyday and Africa as a continent has zero prospects. If we even had latin America's level of growth and infrastructure, I will just stay back. I feel that aside the united States, there's really no country in the world better than Chile to me. Everything is here. Infrastructure is solid and if you are well skilled especially in tech, there's more than enough jobs here. 2 Likes |

tshtsh: And what can 200,000 per month (if you are lucky to earn that self) do for you in Nigeria at 50%+ inflation rate? To fuel your generator and provide light for yourself will take half of that money. Do a breakdown of other expenses and might see yourself borrowing money to survive well. UK GDP per capita is $45,000; Nigeria is $1,100. I don't know how else to explain this. Minimum wage is Nigeria per month is 22£ (2hrs work here). In summary, I am not saying UK is heaven oh. I have pointed out what the main issue is. Getting full papers, fitting in and settling down. you can't compare someone with full right to work in UK to Nigeria. That's why people are running in the first place 6 Likes |

ceejayluv:In my opinion, earning $2000 a month in lagos will offer a better quality life than $6000 in toronto. As for cities like Dar es salaam, nairobi and johannesburg the quality of life is much better than in all these western countries provided you are stable 3 Likes |

tshtsh: Shey na wetin I bin dey preach since?? People think it is by earning so-called 1 million in naira equivalent every month without considering the actual spending power of their earnings in the country they reside in. Ultimately, na why I dey emphasise that people should have fewer children and plan their lives accordingly. No dey born born up and down. 2 Likes 1 Share |
