USA is a home of opportunities and privileges

If you have the legal means to emigrate, the US trumps Canada. Even Canadians dey eye the place sef.

I would anyday choose US over Canada. Yankee has it all....from varities of weather, land mass, opportunities, stronger economy, best tourist attractions, different races, best medical facilities, one of the best educational institutions, best entertainment industry...just name it!

US is US and Canada is Canada..no country has it all as you mentioned...a lot in US don't have jobs and a lot in Canada are not actors or musicians...US got schools ..Canada also got good schools....to buy house in US is harder than to buy in Canada...US have good medical facilities but no free medicals and Canada has good medical facilities and free medicals even up to surgeries...Canadians don't eye US ,,is it with gun shooting and killing of people?..US a loud Canadians are conservative...Canadians don't drop out of school ..US does...education is of high priority in Canada while US only few can access education even with student loans and grants...US has more beautiful cities and more vibes...Canada few beautiful cities cos of their size....earning power is same in both US and Canada....Canada has severe cold ..US has both severe cold like Canada and warm weather...

Both Countries are good to live in....if you love loud noisy life head to US..if you love quiet peaceful and stress free life head to Canada..you will make same money regardless of which country you chose.

Good luck but go legally..don't use visit visa to enter any of them otherwise you wont love yourself.

Thanks for the detailed response, I appreciate

It depends on what exactly you want in life. i feel USA is better due to better schools (Top ranked universities and colleges), Multi Racial, More opportunities and jobs and a robust economy. Diverse weather and topography. Canada also has its better side of which i can't exactly state cos i don't live there. I have a handful of friends who relocated from Canada to USA and i asked whats really the difference? Their response...there is more things to do here in US and better pay.

Bro ,go for Canada. It's safer and less congested than the US. US population is skyrocketing every day. Canada offer free medical care unlike US. Tax in US is higher compare to Canada. Canada is more welcoming for immigrants and have lenient immigration rules. You can't migrant to the US as a permanent resident without having a relation who is a citizen but Canada you can. You can be in Naija here and apply for permanent residency. Can you do that for US? Aside student visa and employment visa what else for those who do not have relations or have spouse who is a citizen? So you see?

Not true about the highlighted. Canada taxes added up is higher than the U.S.

However, the rest of your post is correct. Canada needs more immigrants than the US because their population is very low compared to the country's size...however, their visas process is very, very tedious unlike the U.S.

Wow, thought the visa process was less stressful, I'm avoiding a situation where the visa application will be rejected and all

Thank you, do you know if applying for a permanent residence in Canada is tedious. What does it entail? Don't want to waste money on an agent

Yankee don't have it all
Yankees are running to Germany everyday.
Free health care in Germany, do you have that in US?
Job security, do you have that in US?
Ireland and Germany is far better than your US.
I will pick Canada or Aussy or Ireland ahead of US

Ireland of all places, how could you even compare? Is that country out of recession? I guess they barely are, but still no jobs and the economy is so static. Many Irish go to the UK and US to seek for greener pastures

Nothing good comes easy. Every good things of life do not always come through short cuts. All you need is determination and perseverance. That's one thing I am known for. I do not take No for an answer for what I need to achieve in my life. All you need is positive mindset and tenacity.

You don't need any agent to apply for Canada Permanent Residence Visa. It is something you can do by yourself. All that is required of you is a degree or a skill of any sort, and you are good to go. Do know that as a permanent resident, you will be entitled to some benefits just like a true citizen. You have same rights like every other citizens of Canada.


There are so countless number of persons that have gone through the process. So countless numbers. So, you can do it too and scape through. This is about you and your future. If you start today, you should be sure of landing by next year unfailingly.

This is the thread for you to begin the process:

Now, see testimonies here of so many persons that have gone through same process who are already chilling in canny and those who have already booked their flights. See for yourself :

Go for it!

Not true, there are way more opportunities in the US than Canada.

The only reason I will advise Canada is the immigration policies may be a bit easier now not because there are more opportunities.

If Kdiva has legal means for the US I will advise US if not Canada may be more feasible via the skilled worker programs.

Kdiva, this link is a guide for the legal ways to migrate to the US, if you do not qualify for any of them then focus on Canada which I believe someone has provided a link already.

Tax is higher in Canada and wages lower.

You are right about the hethcars but if you have a good job which is more likely in the US you earn more and have health insurance which gives access to better health care in my opinion. The way I see it UK and Canada are better if you are a low earner and US if you have potential to earn higher.

Heakthcare is not free in canada it is paid for by taxes.

In conclusion you are right if the Op does not have a legal means to migrate to the US then Canada will be better via the skilled worker scheme.

I'm more particular about the chances of jobs (work visa) after schooling?

I'm asking for a lot of people.

US: Better money, better schools, more opportunities, better weather depending on the part of US you live, tougher immigration policies
Canada: easier immigration, good welfare system, affordable healthcare, cold weather.

Someone once said 'it is better to be poor in Canada than in the US but better to be rich in the US'

Some people also go to US for some specific health issues and don't mind paying out of pocket. This is because of long waitlist in Canada. This is not common though cos most health condition are easily accessible without too much of a waitlist.

Except you are in a STEM field, your chances of staying back in the US are slim.

If i go by making money reasons to migrate to US or Canada...i will ask you to stay back in Nigeria...we have more money in Nigeria than thise in US and Canada...how many Nigerians can afford to put all their family inside plane and vamoose to Dubai spending millions on shopping and tours...how many Nigerian Americans have even built houses in Nigeria...all this idumoya boys..ladipo...Computer village and alaba boys can afford to pay some nigerians in the US monthtly salary without shaking...apart from Nigerians in Health sector and IT in uS...others are just earning meagre salaries not good enough to have common vacation in a year...check out guys in naija...and see what money is..
so we should not use money issue to talk about america or canada...health care like you said in US if you have money you can access..same thing nigerians back home do..they have money and come to US and access same health care and pay for it...Nigerians from home schooling in the US all paid cash tuition fees...Americans cant afford school fees except by long debt of student loan...

The US actually has more opportunities but too many people fighting for it

A lot of myths and misinformation about both countries, especially the US. Do your research. Your goals, situation, and circumstances will point you to the right direction.
