A Nigerian woman known as Chisom Chigbo has shared her migration journey, urging others to remain flexible in their quest for a better life abroad.

In a viral message, Chisom emphasised that if a dream country is difficult to enter, people should explore alternative destinations while keeping their ultimate goal in sight.

Recounting her personal experience, she revealed how she initially struggled to secure Canadian residency from Nigeria.

After multiple attempts, she pivoted when the United Kingdom opened its borders to families. Without hesitation, she moved her family to the UK, seizing the opportunity to live and work there.

However, she didn’t abandon her Canadian dream. Once settled in the UK, she restarted the process and, to her surprise, secured permanent residency in Canada within just six months.

Chisom cautioned that delays could make migration more challenging in the future, urging those aspiring to relocate to remain strategic and open-minded.

She wrote, “Let me say this again, if the country of your dream is not easy to get into, try to JAPA to another country while you keep trying.

“This was what I did, I tried getting into Canada from Nigeria for sometime but it proved impossible until UK opened its borders for families and I and my family keyed into it without looking back.

“Guess what? When I kickstarted my Canadian JAPA process again, I and my family got our Canadian permanent residency under 6 months from the UK.

“JAPA is a mindset, because if you do not make the move when you can it maybe too difficult for you to do so in the future,”

And when she comes to the sobering realization that reaching the destination does not yield the fulfillment she envisioned, a profound sense of emptiness engulfs her, plunging her into depression 😂

Therapists makes more money in Canada than doctors in USA

Inconclusive story

Read from top to bottom, yet got absolutely nothing meaningful!

Op, your heading said "How" but your post didn't even come close to explaining or mentioning it.


This is why people swear for you Nigerian Bloggers... Tueh!!!

There's more to this story
If only Nigerian could be truthful.

What an achievement! Nigerians are cursed.

And you're proud of it. You left your own shithole country, failed to develop your own shithole country, didn't bury your head in shame while going to another country, but is proud and shining teeth like a leech, "how I got canadian yadayada". Pest! Leech! Should be ashamed and sober.

Are these people now downgrading Nigeria or what? how is living abroad and achievement?

People should learn how to keep somethings private, tomorrow now they will start blaming innocent village people.

You left UK for Canada,it is well with you, so far you have left the slave camp called Nigeria,do your thanksgiving.

The occultic grandmaster masquerading as president with so much blood on his hands has swore to make the slave camp a living hell

Kinda Hot

Nigerians are screaming they are hungry, don't they know that they are not different from those people shipped through the Atlantic ocean during slavery

Good for her

Oloriburuku bola Tinubu is actually behaving like a slave merchant with his slavery policies.
he is the type of person that sells people for financial gains from Western world.


Imagine Nigerians moving in droves to ordinary Ghana for business opportunities.

Escaping Nigeria calls for testimony.😂

Congratulations to her but this isn't news.

The normal processing time for Canadian Express Entry which is the pathway to Permanent Residency is 6 months, and could be as early as 3 months in some cases.

If you are qualified, you will get it. The system is straightforward.
