Nigerians are suffering in Canada, people have been here for 1-2 years without a stable job, people are losing their home cos they couldn't keep up with the rent, people are dropping out of colleges cos they can no longer afford the new semester fee after coming here with the thought that they can work and pay it off, people are dropping shame behind and moving back to Nigeria after wasting millions of naira coming to this useless empty country and you keep posting these lame pictures without offering any tips to help them navigate the struggles. Nigerian are dying in this country and you guys don't want to say the truth openly so the new ones coming should know what's up.

Canada is a dead country, just big for nothing and empty. You better use that money to move to any country in Europe even if it's a non speaking English country instead of coming to Canada. Don't be deceived by these pictures you see online, the reality is far different from what you are seeing.

CANADA IS DEAD!!!

Are you in Canada? Are you a student, PR or Temporary Visitor? Asking to know what category you fall into.

There are many reasons people are suffering or experiencing hardship in Canada. Some of it like Ednut said includes falling for Peer Pressure, Not doing proper research and refusal to listen to others (sometimes people think those telling them the truth are the Bad Belle people that don't want them to Japa).

You can't force others to listen to you when it is their own money, time, resources and especially their experience to become.

So the people you are talking about did they ask in this forum or thread? Did they declare they had enough money to care for their needs for a certain period but travelled without the claimed amount? Did they dive into purchases just to show they have also arrived without properly doing the calculations to know if it's the right thing and right time?

It is easy to come and shout Canada is dead. True it might not seem like it used to be years and years ago. However, it's still not as bad as some of you try to paint it. Come in legally with the proper permits/documents (not those hoping to convert papers upon arrival). It becomes easier. Note I didn't say smooth but easier as there could still be challenges but your path becomes a little more direct than someone who's looking for an under the table job or one hoping to school and still earn enough to care for his feeding, housing, health, car, family back in Nigeria and still have something left to pay off his tuition.

They were certainly told the truth. They didn't want to hear it and chose to rugged it or find a way when they arrive. Canada wey ask for POF no get reason? Anyway, we say welcome. The land mass is big enough for us.

1.Every student that applied submitted evidence of sufficient proof of funds and tuition. Where is the money?
2. in the past i warned people not to come if they don’t have sufficient funds for studying. I always recommend people with low CRS scores learning French and trying PR over student visa. But dem no listen.
3. Last year I referred about 5 people to my workplace and 3 got in . I no try?
4. Many also bought houses without doing the calculations and became house poor. Some falsified income to get those mortgages. Mostly driven by peer pressure .

Inspite of all the videos online about unemployment and international students difficulties ( plus lack of pathway to PR) many are still trying to come in through same route. So wetin concern us?

This is the truth, but why do the majority of Nigerians in Canada pretend everything is okay when most are facing shege pro max? It's so sad to see a great nation fall apart while profiting from human misery. The Canadian government seems to be operating a Ponzi immigration scheme under the guise of a labor shortage, but in reality, there are no jobs—modern slavery in disguise!

Everyone knows is the truth they just keep lying to themselves and deceiving unsuspecting nairalanders and Nigerians to make them feel they are living a good life there.
Bro you are better off moving to the uk or south Africa than Canada. When you give them reality check they'd be talking about ease of getting papers bla bla bla, that's complete bullshit.
Who gives a fvck about papers? 85 percent of Nigerians are relocating abroad for financial reasons not because of papers that can take you more than 5 years to obtain, how'd you survive and pay your school fees to get your work permits and other bills in those years?
Alot of people in Canada are returning back to Nigeria after wasting all those money moving there in search of greener pastures.
They'd come online and claim to be living a good life but in reality majority of them are living in shared apartments and only very few are doing good for themselves.
Canada is hell right now, you're better off going to south Africa or uk than this useless country.
It doesn't even seem like a white man land anymore.

Nigerians are suffering here, they are suffering so badly. Forget all these stories these people are saying here.

Most students are converting to assylum, many of them already paid 1 or 2 semesters fee which is almost 20k dollars and that's gone to waste.
If things were as smooth as they are claiming while would anyone stop schooling after paying such huge amount of money and decide to seek assylum.
It's hell here in Canada especially in Ontario.
Nothing is working out in this dead country anymore.
If you need thorough truths about reality check on ground in Canada you should go to Twitter(X), all these ones here on nairaland only enjoy deceiving people with lame pictures of infrastructures like timid villagers so people would think they are living the dream abroad lifestyle.


Papers papers papers bla bla bla, people are not moving abroad for any goddammit papers, Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world most people traveling are going there to find money and take care of their family.

These people called us names.

Many of them already vanished off nairaland due to reality

I was stuck in the loop looking for cloud/devops jobs directly as someone who was transitioning to IT though I had 3 AWS certs, projects and made some connections. It may be because I am in Alberta and tech is slower, and you would possibly have better chances by networking to get a job a bit faster in Ontario. However, once I decided to go even lower, by applying for any IT role(IT Support roles), I started getting interviews. I ended up with a well paid IT Support Analyst position, fully remote. So I would say you can start with entry level IT roles, and work your way up. The most difficult thing is getting your foot in the door. Once you are in, up skill yourself, and look to move higher. It will take time but it will be easier.

Bro, you cannot discourage us. We are still coming to Canada. As an average Nigerian, you will struggle both at home and abroad before you make it. So, hold on – maybe in 15 to 25 years, things will be okay, if you don't die of stress, depression, or a heart attack. Your child will benefit from your relocation decision now. Stay positive minded

majority of the Nigerians that came via express entry from 2015 to 2022 already had good jobs/career in Nigeria . Papers for them/children, better standard of living etc was the main goal. Many of these people had houses , drivers and maid in Nigeria. If you come as a PR there is the option to return home and come back one or two years later ( soft landing).

Few months ago a guy was on this same thread complaining about his brother who was stranded/ homeless and was attending a non DLI school. I was telling my friend about the issue only for him to tell me he knows the guy in question. He had advised him it wasn’t worth it without adequate funds, but the guy said- bros let me enter first. I will save money for any school while doing this one year course . That was how my friend washed his hands off the matter.

When you hear things like “ You dont want me to come” “why are you still there” “you are selfish “ na to mind your business

This was mid last year. This friend of mine was trying to crowdfund the balance from other people. This are the kind of people that will still come here to cry. Another person that i advised to learn French is currently in the pool with a high scores. Student route especially to these mushroom diploma mills have casted yet people are still applying. Make nobody con stress me again o 😒😂

Curious, why do people still die put on top Canada matter upon all the news and videos?

Seriously I don't pity people like this. I find it difficult to pity students to some degree. If you falsify your proof of fund and you are here complaining of no jobs, you are on your own. The era of people coming to Canada to study with the hope of paying tuition from working is very new. Before you have three categories of people, graduate students with full/partial funding, graduate students with money from Nigeria to fully cover their expenses, and children of rich parents coming for undergrad. Those were not relying on working here to fund their education.

However, if someone that comes as a PR complains about the system, I can encourage the person and give them suggestions on how to advance their careers. Some time you may have to change career and be very open minded. I have seen a lawyer that decided to go for nursing immediately have landing as an immigrant. After becoming an LPN, he started working on what is needed to be called to bar. He is a lawyer now. The LPN provided fund for him to meet bills before being called to bar. For a new immigrant, it is a long process. Be open minded and don't limit yourself.

Again a student complaining of no fund to pay tuition was not prepared to be a student. It is impossible to work to pay tuition and living expenses.

The simple answer to your question is greed, overconfidence and unbelievable deterioration of Nigeria if you ask me.
Greed in the sense that people have become too greedy. They think they can "make it" irrespective of what their situation is once they land. To make matters worse, it is now easier to migrate than years back cos people have found a way to deceive embassies with fake POF. Just with few hundred thousands, you can get 50m naira in your account as POF courtesy of rogue bankers and their network.
So what is happening now is influx of people who by reality shouldn't be anywhere near Canada now trooping in cos they have found a way to bypass the POF requirements that is supposed to help their lives.
The thinking among these set of people is "make we just enter Canada first". They feel overconfident that they can survive even if they are coming empty handed because in their mind the suffer they have suffered in Nigeria has made them resilient.
Then the unbelievable deterioration of Nigeria added fuel to fire. When you earn 200k in Lagos 4 years ago for example and you now earn 300k. On the surface, it looks like progress abi? But when you realize that your 300k can only buy 3 bags of rice, you begin to wonder if taking these stupid risks will be better in the long run.

Migration by study isn't cheap unfortunately. It used to be for the rich and upper middle class then but now every dick and Harry is now studying. I'm active in a Nigerian church in Ontario and I have seen a lot. The other day in church someone came to me with accommodation problem, I initially thought he hasn't seen anyplace to rent since he is just 1 month in the country. Luckily there was this lady relocating to Alberta where she got a job and the room will soon become vacant. I Immediately referred him to her but he told me the problem is that he doesn't have money to rent not that he hasn't seen a place to rent. How can you not have money to rent in just 1 month of arrival, what were you thinking? I was so angry and I walked away.

Even in normal times, depending on working as a student to live wasn't ideal not to talk of now. So the idea that someone will plan based on student job is so ridiculous to me but then maybe "God dey"

The bold is right. Just that migration via study has been the most dependable route to exit Nigeria, else many wouldn't have been able to do so. The scholarships are few and in-between, plus the cut-throat competition for them. The most hilarious are those who attempt to migrate as undergraduates using POF.

The bolded phrase has caused so many things. That overconfident disappears when they realized they can't cope coming empty handed. No rent for the first month? That's ridiculous. Is he expecting free accommodation?

Unfortunately it is no longer dependable. In other to correct the mistakes they made in the last 3 years, they idiot prime minister is now tightening things. This means that most students will have to leave the country willingly after their visa expiry or be deported cos they won't qualify to stay back
