I have a girl in Canada. She is student and also work. But she doesn't go out there. She has bn guiding me. But her guide is not much clear. Pls how can she be of good Help for me to leave here. Can I go and stay with her. Can she Canada allow a student to send invitation ?

Yes, if she has plenty money to support you which is most unlikely.
But still check ur circumstances in naija because Canada will not give u a visit visa if u do not have sufficient tie in naija like investment or family.

Go to Canada or stay in Nigeria and continue to hear stories about Herdsmen, Boko Haram, Minimum wage, Buhari, Recession, Inflation, Obasanjo, Atiku, Mahmood Yakubu, Tinubu etc and other stories we are tired of hearing everyday. Choose wisely.

My husband n I are both in grade level 10 and it’s a two year visa subject to renewal by d company offering us d job. To get to d apex in carrier will not be really easy for me but my husband is likely to get there considering their agency is not as populated as ours. Am just thinking how possible it wil be to relocate n survive in Canada doing miner jobs. I forgot to mention, someone i know arranging it for us though I stil doubt d authenticity by I hv a level of trust on d person. He told us my children can go with us to have better education. Pls I Ned street advice is it worth it for Us to resign our jobs. My husband n I decided that if d two of us cannot go together then it’s better we don’t go at all so d option of only one person resigning is out of d question.. I don’t really know about Canada accepting unskilled workers can u pls shade more light

Don't resign ooo, even if the visa is ready, u can resign from Canada after two weeks of settling down

please oooo......are u here to see how many people that will rush the trend ..... if i were u ... i will not even think abt it

Life in its totality is about the fear of the unknown. For you moving there is a risk on its own but one thing I know is that. You’ll figure out a way and you’ll be fine in the end. Give it a shot and you’ll be back to thank us while we are also aspiring. Best of luck.

Dear MA,

If you don't mind can you link me up with a company that can get me a job in Canada as well.

I will be grateful.

Thanks alot oga. I keep on pushing her to give me details. Bcs one needs to leave this country, even if on studying visa. Pls like how much can it cost to round up all the processes?

Let your husband go first scout out things in Canada before u follow u guy can't loss your jobs at the same time

Hi am in a bit of dilemma my husband and I are both civil servants am also a lawyer and our take home put together is about 260k per month. We have two kids of ages three and four we have a good opportunity to travel to Canada with a job offer but under unskilled worker.

Am thinking of a better life for my kids but a bit confused cos of d fear of d unknown. Will it be wise to leave our jobs considering Canada has a good education system secondly we also intend schooling when we get there so we can get better work places pls what ur advice on this we are really in a fix what ur opinion for those that have been there

How much are you paying this agent for this visa? I hope it is not a scam. What kind of blue collar job is it? What city in Canada? If you and your husband have the degree; check if you'll qualify for the express entry migration path. Don't dash your money out and end up doing something you'll regret. You're a lawyer, you can also make something of your career "in the abroad" too

I wanted to just read but I can't help but to say my mind. My dear please don't rush to get anyhow visa to Canada, I have been there before and I would want u to be duped. It's all a scam forget about all the story the visa agent is telling u. Follow the normal process if u want to migrate. I spent six months in Canada before I was deported don't fall a victim. He want to scam u and ur husband, relax and plan well, ur already in level 10 which means ur a potential director to be, patient u will get there. The favour of God will locate u anywhere u are, Canada is a place of great opportunity but I won't lie to u if u don't have anybody there to lay the foundation for u, u will be deported and u will start afresh as a new applicant don't go to Canada just yet evaluate the situation very well. I would want to share my experience over there but I wish u the best of luck. Many end up in jail, I was a cab driver for 3 months

You better go.
Minimum wage is $10/hr.
You will hopefully get loans to do a course or something.
For your children's sake leave.
Nigeria doesn't seem to be on any track not to talk of right track. No direction, vision 2020 obasanjo & co talked about decades ago is only a dream now.
The comment right before this should be considered too.

In my honest opinion op, stay in Nigeria and work hard/smart to make your OWN situation better. I don't trust who is guiding you to Canada and would hate to hear you were sold a pipe dream. Looking at Canadian Dollar v Naira, yes you might make more money in Canada (and Obodo Oyinbo to a greater extent) but your cost of living will increase drastically (higher tax rate, monthly rent) which doesn't necessarily mean higher quality of life. Also cold weather will affect your health. Unless you NEVER want to come back, you'll have to look out for your people back home which is extra pressure. One more thing, I don't know how important it is to you but your culture could die with you once you leave the shores and "coming back home" may be very tricky.

in relation to your children, all I would say is that education does not guarantee/equate to success, whether they are in Nigeria or Canada.

This is just my opinion, ultimately the choice is yours. You already see the pros, my purpose here is to provide the cons.

Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding: in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths,

BarristerAlarig:
To believe OP is a lawyer is plausible. Her written English is very basic, more like what a Junior Secondary School student in one of those poorly funded public schools would write like.

And to believe she had to come here to ask such questions is annoying! Do your research people!!! Stop making it easy for scammers to scam you. If you aren't sure about something, send a mail to the embassy or visit their website..

Some people self. Lawyer my @$$

I am sorry, your stupidity is on a high side. Receive sense now

Hello, I am a Nigerian living in Canada. I am actually a Canadian Citizen. It is possible that it is not a scam, however, the likelihood that you will be doing menial is very high. Most times these kind of jobs can be tough and pay less relative to the cost of living in the area you will be working. You can ask for the wages of the position and the job description. If you know the location, Google the cost of rents and general cost of living there(just search apartment rent in the name of the town/city). Include taxes, see how you fare.

In a clear times, it is very likely it is a labor job. Also, be aware that there is no guaranty that the Visa could be extended, you might be able to apply for PR afterwards though.

I was forced to write this piece in case it can be beneficial to you and others. I think most people living abroad and those people in Nigeria commenting are either not sincere with the truth/reality or they don't actually know. Life in Canada is not rosy as it is portrayed! Some might think that I might be saying this because things are not alright for me, praise be to God, I think I been lucky.

Canada welcomes many highly qualified immigrants, so competition is extremely stiff.As a result of this, I have seen some Nigerians who came here and later decided to go back to Nigeria to take the position/job they left but the jobs were gone. This is a reality!. Then I see most people migrating to create a better future for their children, while this seems reasonable. I really think people going for this reason really need to think critically about it. The chance of kids becoming morally bankrupt is high, remember you can't discipline like you will do in Nigeria. Even the quality of the schools(especially primary and secondary) is not too good. The kids will also likely face racism like you too will face, racism is real my friend.

In conclusion, before deciding to go or not go. Please think critically and seek God's guidance. God has knowledge of today and future, and he knows the best for you. I wish you good luck in your endeavors.

which civil servant work pay 260k in Nigeria, are you permanent secretary or director in the ministry.

You don't deserve my advice because you are a liar.

As one time accountant in the civil service, I know their salary structure.

better manage 260k you collect every month than hoping high on job that is not really sure or certain..

CaesarDon:
i hate having to troll on NAIRALAND requests, but frankly your written English puts a very big question on the fact that you claim to be a lawyer ,"am going", "we have a good opportunity", "will it be??" "carrier instead of career" frankly am disgusted especially in your second post, my candid advice for you would be to improve on your spoken English if you wanna stand any chance on passing the IELTS exam you wanna write

Ejimagift:




Bro is there any provision for couples that are not skilled but willing to migrate to Canada? Let say the husband is a self employed business man (trader) and wife sell clothes but they have the financial capacity to relocate to Canada. Any advice?

You and your likes are going nowhere!

You cannot foist Buhari on Nigeria and turn around and be talking or recommending traveling....

graceajunwa:


We are not going as visitors I may Ned to ask d agent d type of visa he is getting for us. Once our visa is ready we were asked to pay certain amount of money that will cover our rent for one year. Note this money will only be paid once we hv our visa, also d plan includes getting a job for us in other words d job will b made available for us. Initially we were told we couldn’t go with d kids until after six months we send for them . But when I them they were jus below 5 he said it’s ok for them to come along cos it would hv Ben more difficult if Dey were above 10 years.

Don't depend on whatever plans the agent is making after visa has been received. there have been cases of people paying agent for things like this and only to get there and discover the agent didn't make any further arangement after the visa proper.

i'll advice you make all arrangements yourself. accomodation, job, e.t.c don't depend on the sweet talks he/she is giving you, they do so to hike their fees. have enough cash before leaving so you can rent anapartment if his isn't forthcoming

GO TO CANADA!

Don't say we didn't tell you oh.

why not take leave then either one of you travel and see things the way they are, because if both of you resign your work and later found out the work pay is not as good as the one compared here, it won't be funny, my advice is for you to continue your work here, others are looking for your opportunity to be working like you and your husband.

Olugbayi:
I LIVE IN UK, BUT I ADVISE YOU STAY BACK HOME
YOU'RE BETTER OFF IN NIGERIA THAN YOU EXPECT TO BE IN CANADA
EXCEPT GOOD ROAD, WATER AND ELECTRICITY WHICH COSTS A FORTUNE AS WELL.
IM ALWAYS HOME EVERY SUMMER TO COOL OFF.
BUT THE CHOICE IS YOURS !

Rubbish talk..stay home indeed why not tetminate your visa and stay home permanently..hyprocrite..

But seriously, Australia and Canada which is better for migrating.pls place a choice with reasons!

HeliosHay:


I'll say go for it. My dad was in a similar situation (he got a job offer in London back in 2007) and he took all of us (the company sponsored his visa and all). Granted life at first might be tough as you struggle to settle in but its worth it. The opportunities that'll be available to you and your family is insane. Go for it.

To minimize the risk you're taking, it might be advisable for your husband to travel first (my dad travelled first, settled in and then brought us over). Once your husband is settled, has a flat and reasonable money coming in, he can then start making arrangements to bring the rest of you guys over.

I think thats better instead of both of you quitting your jobs at the same time and putting all your eggs in one basket

Exactly.
