My family moved via the Canadian federal skilled workers program less than 2 years ago(we were both in our 20's when we moved). Prior to that, I worked in Regulatory risk in a UK bank with my MSc in Engineering cert, and wife lectured briefly in Unilag with her Msc in Pharmacy. Moving to Canada was one of the best decisions I ever made. Many of my friends with similar profiles have moved to either Australia or Canada.
A few stayed back working in the UK and the US after their studies, and don't intend to migrate Aus/Can.
God bless Nigeria and Canada.

How do you survive the Canadian cold....thats one thing that put me off moving to Canada.
Also after investing so much in getting citizenship in another country...to abandon that and move is a very difficult decision.

The cold is not so bad. House are properly heated, and you have car(s) to take you to wherever you want.

@lindaayim pls when are they starting lottery again
I don't know of a specific time but in my understanding, Nigeria has sent more than 50,000 immigrants to the US in the past 5 years(i presume) 2012-2017 combined, By US law, a country that has sent in more than 50k immigrants over the past 5 years is ineligible to participate in visa lottery. So, every year the total immigrants are computed, if the past 5 years is less than 50,000 then Nigeria could be placed back on the eligible list for visa lottery.
