You just confirmed what I said earlier, you seem programmed to believe that only the UK has problem of migrants. Many countries have problems of migration even Nigeria, yes! If the total number of Nigeriens influx to Nigeria is counted (legal and illegal) may even be more than those crossing your so-called Carlisle that you are obsessed with. English has long history of colonisation. The UK went round the world colonising and forcing their language on people some centuries back and has therefore developed affiliation and affinity with different race and that, that has made it more integrated than any country in the Europe. Most crossing Carlisle are coming from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran whom by virtue of English language universality speak English. So what do you expect? The UK and France were discussing of joint patrol to checkmate that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/46722608.

People leaving one country to another doesn't necessarily mean the other one is bad. Everyone has different reasons. USA citizens are in Germany and vice versa.
You ought to look at metrics of each individual country like standard of living, per capita GDP, monthly income, life expectancy, cost of living etc.

Furthermore, you can only read oreviews listen to English news, so expect them to telling you the truth about everybody? Listen to French, German, Belgian news to hear their side of the story.

What are British doing in Spain? Can you explain why? Spain is home to highest number of british born out side the UK?
to the Bolded its bloody cheap to live there, have you seen the cost of houses there? I can buy a whole house there by selling my Garage where I kept the RRS no joke.
Bro no disrespect, telling me the Syrians and the Iranians are coming fru the tunnel cos of English language is the lamest statement I have ever heard on NL I swear down, seriously??Have you seen the Somalians? the Sudanese? Nigerians? french speaking Africans?omg
what about the Albanians? and B4 they joined the EU Romanians?Do you have any Idea the amount of refugees Germany took in?

The Europeans are not overly joyous about Brexit. This is not a secret.

Nigel is a selfish hawk, just like Boris.

We hear what we are told. But as you know, there is news, and there is the news.

All these people including mrs May are fighting for political relevance and survival on the back of the average brit.

The EU is treading carefully but firmly regarding extensions. This is simple diplomacy.

Bro the Brexit issue touches everybody in the UK even kids cos they can't get on the bus, its an emotional thing more than politics I can tell you that, my Uncle lost his construction company cos of these guys.He had to retire to N Ireland, I can go on but I got to live for work now, U know how E dey be. We go continue 2night

more than 1 million refugees especially from Syria, and you tell me the number of refugees taken by the UK? It has forced Angela Merkel to let go of her party leadership.
Every country that has a better economy is facing migration crisis. You only know of the UK because that's what interests you.
The bolded, that's why I said people migrate for different reasons. I mentioned different reasons why cherry picking only English? The UK guardian newspaper listed English as one of the reasons and most are from Syria,
Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/28/channel-migrant-crossings-who-is-coming-and-why
British in Spain, it means what they earn don't commiserate with expensive cost living. What are Bristish people doing in golf countries and Australia?
Even Germans like Spain because of cheaper cost of living and better weather

If you have some years of other types of experiences e.g business analysis, IT, PM etc from say a Big 4 consultancy or a multinational or any other reputable company, combined with your pol science degree, then you may be able to find a good job in Canada.
But a pol science career would most likely not cut it here. I can't say of what MSC you might want to go for. In Canada, when you apply for job and the minimum requirement is a Bsc..your msc would just be on your resume as a space filler and won't improve your chances of landing the job or make you more qualified than other guys with a bsc applying for same job.

Germany or Canada?
If Canada, not sure of how a phd in pet would help here in our battered oil industry. You can complete the Phd and might find it easier to move to the US for better opportunities. Depending on your banking experience, you can still continue your career in a bank. You could earn good salary if outside branch banking, but if your experience is in branch banking, your savings after all expenses on a 500k job in Nigeria would likely be more than savings from branch banking wage in Canada. However you also have to consider the non monetary factors that a developed country has to offer like higher standard of living.

Thank you, one of my classmate moved from Germany after 15 years.he Joined the Police force here in the Uk as we speak. He told me that can never happen in Germany.I don't know how true but that was what he said. There loads of Nigerian Doctors, Engineers, lawyers in the UK
I have been in Germany for 5 years now moving from Berlin to Hamburg to Düsseldorf, I have not seen a black police man in Germany. Germany is not use to blacks or other foreigners with less bright color, western part is liberal but eastern part is home of racism.

It’s the same in every western nation. Preference to the native white over all . Except you got something exceptional to offer . Not been to Canada but witnessed the trend in east coast US and England. Tolerance is better in US though but overall no where is easy. The problems we have in Africa is different from the problems that will be encountered in the west (as an African ) but then challenges are challenges no matter how it presents itself.

Come to Canada then before drawing your conclusions

Racism is everywhere but there is no way in the world that Germany is as friendly as Canada. Canadians are dead friendly and respectful, they’d rather step on their own shoes than step on your shoe..literally. They are damn nice!!

Don’t have to come to Canada . Never found it attractive. Lived in DC area for four years and made trips to Buffalo a few times but never found a reason to cross over . Americans see Canada the way Nigerians see Niger. Canadians are not as open minded as Americans (met a few of them) and can only imagine what they are like at home . If it was such an attractive place why is the Express entry program only attractive to citizens of third world countries ? Haven’t heard of Europeans and americans take advantage of it in large numbers.

While Geology is a very good course i.e STEM, the oil sector in Canada is not doing so well. This doesn't mean you can't or wont get a job, it might not just come easy as it used to. If you were coming for Msc in Geologu, I would try and channel my energy towards an msc program that has a good content of geotechnical engineering or science. Lots of jobs for geotechnical (civil) guys. So you want to make sure your course is not restricted.

Boxing, football, music. Book is overrated abeg. How many PhD holders get between $15m - $200m in less than 2 hours to punch someone, how many educationalists get paid a contract of £120k/wk to kick a ball around for around 1hr 30mins or less. How many professors can afford to buy a Bugatti Veyron, McLaren, Lamborghini etc anytime they like. Education is just another matrix system to keep the masses in the pockets of the rich, the engine room to help keep the rich getting richer, while they pay you peanuts. This is 2019, education is an option, not the ultimate grin.

God bless you for this..You are indeed smart..
