But is Schneider Holland or American?

Or another one

It's possible because Dutch is one of the Germanic languages

Nicr comparison but the only thing that can make me chose Canada over Germany is language. Don't forget to download this lovely song http://www.naijapals.com/music/Searching_for_love_Xpol-89179

Yes , but Nigeria do not fall amongst one of them countries where it is hard, 9ja no care seff

Nigeria, Morocco, etc falls in that category. As a Nigerian citizen by birth, it’s only the president that have the sole right to approve your renunciation request not the Embassies or Consulates. Isn’t that difficult?

Wow.. In Germany, i don't think there is something like student debt since education is free

They do. It also applies to students whose parents have permanent residents in Germany. It’s like a bursary. They use these monies to support themselves, although a lot of them are also paid monthly by the government upon meeting certain conditions.

Hmmm...I would think that having the right type of degrees added with its experience should give one a better edge over the one with just experience without education.
not always atleast in Canada especially in the tech industry.
All the director of my division has is an OND. There are like 100 engineers under him. Some of our VP have only their trade certificate and have like 200 engineers reporting to them. There are several vases like that all over.
I am not down playing level of education. Just saying that in Canada, having lots of education does not equal higher wages.
Canada is one of the few countries in the world where a labouret can gross over 100k a year while an someone with a bsc or msc in the same field can be stuck earning half of thag or less in a year.
There are a few 11k a montj jobs advertised internally on my companies website. The educational requirement is either an electrician, powerline tech, engineering degree, or diploma. The person that impresses most at the interview gets the job not the person with the highest academic qualification. There are however some jobs due to regulatory requirements would require someone with high academic qualifications.

it is still a country i am still trying to understand myself.

They just kept both passports. That is not what Dual really means, I have people who are Polish and British even though Poland says no dual passports.

Freedom of movement and work (easy access travel to other European destinations)

With German passport, you can travel to more countries

The limitless speed on the autobahn and the overall culture of Europe

Better economy ( Germany is the economic powerhouse of Europe and number 4 in the world)

School is relatively cheap. You don't have to pay anything apart from the money in the block account. They have very good record in education structure.

The weather and the accessibility to EU market plus Germany is massively industrialized which makes her have an edge over Canada

Germany is located in the centre of Europe. You can reach countless number of countries in a 2 hour flight.

Germany has research institutions than Canada and faculties in Germany are more well versed.

Lots of History, Architecture, ancient artifacts etc


These are ways by which Germany is better than Canada... State your own... Let's see
please I need more information concerning the block account.

Does that money cover feeding, accommodation and other expenses till you graduate?

During your schooling, will you be allowed to do some menial jobs atleast to make little money for yourself?

When the school is on vacation, will their hostel still be open for international students to leave till school resumes or the international students will have to go back to his country?

Lastly what course can you advice an HND graduate to do in Germany for him to get a pay job after graduation.


Kindly assist me with all this information sir. Thanks in advance

Now, when it comes to GDP, the money comes from many different things from jobs to imports and exports

However, just having GDP and population doesn't really give a gram scheme of the differences between these two countries.. We should probably look at the living cost and expenses.

According to some websites, if you move to Germany from Canada, the cost in Canada for living would be as follows

Food = 11% higher than the person in Germany. As for rent price in Canada are 6.46% higher than in Germany, entertainment is about 16% and transportation is about 8% lower than in Germany and when it comes to price of clothes, it's about 19% lower in Canada.

However, that being said personal care in Canada is 25% more than in Germany. But if you want to buy house, it's quite cheaper in Canada.

In certain areas of a country, there are several cities that are more expensive to live. In Canada, the cities are Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Vancouver and Calgary just to mention a few and in Germany, the top 5 most expensive place to live are Berlin, Munich, düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Cologne and Hamburg smiley

The above is not correct. You've gotta remove Berlin and substitute that with stuttgart.

The Reihenfolge as we say here in Germany should be Munich, Stuttgart, düsseldorf, Hamburg, Cologne (Köln) and frankfurt.

Not all of the land mass in Canada is liveable though. Lots of frozen tundra and inhabitable mountains and hills. Also lots of huge farm lands in the prairie region.
However there is still lots of space.

I have never lived in Germany, so i can't compare the two countries. The closest i have gotten to Germany was a friend called Katja when I was studying in the UK always telling me how backward the UK was in terms of technology. I felt the same way when I moved to Canada. I felt Canada was backward in technology compared to the UK. I am used to the way things work in Canada now lol.

But the pay and remuneration for my profession and that of my wife is better in western Canada than that of UK by miles. You can also live in huge houses and drive nice toys on wide roads. I believe Gernmany would be very similar to UK in terms of building and road designs.

I love Canada, but the cold meh.

Only reason I'll pick Canada is because the option for dual citizenship is straightforward. Germany only allows it in special instances.
