I have typed 5 different responses and deleted all 5 because I am trying to be respectful.
All I'll say is; thank God you're moving to Canada. Please take advantage of the free health care and see a psychologist/therapist. You have deep issues and the way you interpret events is very skewed

I'm sorry but this sounds a lot like you are judging her. You don't know the full story. That she came here to express herself doesn't give you the right to judge her. Same thing you were fighting for in Guitarlife's case and you are doing the exact same thing. It's repulsive.
I wasn't judging her at all. I not even eligible to. I posted what I did based on what she disclosed.
There were also a lot of "if" conditions.

Its not advisable for young couples to relocate. Most loose their marriage due to the immaturity coupled with the new location and the freedom it brings.

My inspiration for you.

I landed on a Monday evening , my body had not adjusted to time so when I woke up i decided let start my house search I sent out lots of email not just frloe house alone but for jobs as well ( I already had a viewing booked from Nigeria) . So I got another viewing .

This place was divine within my budget 622 I only pay hydro took the application I didn't want to be in a rush . Also also opened my bank , and got a new SIM that same day . Next day I see the other place not sooner nice , still I take the application form , you never know. As I was getting the form what do I see a call from a company asking me to come in for an interview just day 3 . YES!!!!!!!!!

So I leave the building go home call my family lay out every thing n seek 2nd opinions , so I go on Thursday to submit the application for the first house with my bank statement hoping to get it den off I went for my interview , I get the job I decide okay no harm just submit the other application. On my way there the first house manager call n say SORRY we can't approve you for the house , I felt sad but motivated to I get to the second place n they say, SORRY SOMEONE JUST TOOK IT .

Hmmmmmm.

I took a cab went to the mall sat and got a meal , I called the agent for the second place coz she was soon nice , I told her don't you have something for me n she said hold on my hopes are high again . Yes was a response we got a bachelor's for 700 , ha hanty!!!! I want it she set me up for a viewing Friday the next day with a colleague. I went home happy so that day by 3:00pm I get a call ......

It's another company want me to come in for an interview ( smiles) we do a phone interview ,I passed I schedule the interview for the very next day afternoon .

In the morning I set out first to the bank got my deposit , then went to view the house oh my Magnificent . I walk with the agent back to the office. Fill the forms pay my deposit give them a copy of my bank statement just to add more spice n off u went to do my interview I passed bthe second stage den suddenly I get a call I am approved for the apartment. YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! Re schedule my last phase interview to Monday went there signed my lease , payed now I got a house .
Ps more jobs are calling.

You actually did judge her and if you read your reply you would find that it was rather insensitive on so many levels. She clearly stated that her spouse is well aware of their issues as a couple and she did not state anywhere that she intended to migrate with him or through him. She also stated that she had a supportive family emotionally and financially.

Hahahaha no darling that is NOT true. Not impossible for some couples but not the general case. I’m more than glad we migrated now as a young couple and it’s been extremely fulfilling building our lives and dreams together in Canada with love and understanding.
Once you marry the right person and there’s true love in the relationship, whether you’re in Canada or Nigeria with environmental changes or not, come rain or shine, it’s marital bliss.

yea, I think I made a lot of assumptions but without a deliberate intent to be judgemental or insensitive.

And I admit I might have been wrong with my assumptions.
I just feel it's important to hear both sides of situations like these before taking sides/ giving advice.

.By the time they get here, normal everyday task could become overwhelming, then women request that their husband help them with house chores...na there the wahala dey start.
I believe ALL hands must be on deck. If a man loves his wife, he should willingly take part in daily activities of the house. I have been a bachelor for donkey years, trust me domestic chores can be extremely overwhelming for one person, irrespective of the sex. In the same vein the man should put himself in the woman's shoe and see how work can be tiring.
BUT
Even in the western world, there are still many marriages whereby, the woman still does all the chores, and doesn't complain,
Every marriage has it's own peculiarity

Nice tips!

Did you register with any pre-arrival services while in Nigeria? I'm still doing some courses with SOPA and hoping the skills will come in handy for my job search.

To be honest, I didn't . I learnt from my family ,they told me where to go , how to get it and when to get it . But then again if you don't make that move no one will make it for you

Love is what matters.

If there's really true love between a couple, you wont have a problem sharing chores/responsibility with your wife or husband, bathing the kids sometimes, cooking meals, contributing financially to the upkeep of the family (as a wife) without been asked.. etc ..
I mean these things should come easily to you..
Marriage is a partnership between two people. Not a relstionship between master and a slave

That been said, i still agree that the man is the head of the family.
God bless you.
I wonder how chaotic name bearing would be, if the world was to go by the"nobody is the head" narrative.

Agreed. That's why some men don't take a woman's cry for equality seriously at times. You can't cry for equality when there's an advantage only. I still stand by my self defence claim as well.

Lol stop running away. I doubt you can file those benefits without proof of living in Canada like tenancy agreements and bank statements. When was your first landing (to determine if you need to file taxes) and how long have you cumulatively stayed?

As a soon-to-be Canadian, I 100% support this. Infact, the test should have same importance level as IELTS. The one I just can't comprehend is an individual with a strong hate for LGBTs applying for PR. How can you clamour to live amongst people whose values you strongly detest? Whatever happened to remaining in 'holy' Nigeria and making heaven?
