He's forming. He grew up rich or at least always had the ability to go to Canada and instantly better his life anytime. Since he was born in Canada and was always a citizen. He's playing the rags to riches guy who grew up and hustled in ajegunle. He's a story teller.

"Story time, story time"

I didn't grow up rich, don't assume. Yes I had the ability to go back anytime, subject to technicalities. Who would pay for it? If you think it's a meager amount to buy airline tickets then it's the first sign that you lack experience of the true Nigerian life as you call it. How about when you land, where do you stay having no family? You have to raise funds for that too.

It's not a rags to riches story, it's just a story. Nothing to it.
Keep an open mind.

wyzoe:


What part is the lie Sir?

As for what I'm trying to accomplish, nothing. I'm simply documenting some of the experiences I feel are noteworthy. Not everything or everyone has an ulterior motive. I don't know where you're getting the comparison of suffering from.

It seems clear to me that you need to read the narrative with an open mind.

Nigerians born in Canada or America don't want to go fix Nigeria. At best they may do business there if its mutually beneficial. A blind child born abroad knows its better being a 3rd class citizen in Canada than a 1st in naija. That story is a lie.

How did your parents get Canadian visa ? You think anyone can just get Canadian visa. How did your parents pay for your delivery since they weren't citizens or legal residence ? You think it's cheap to deliever a child out of pocket abroad ? Who do you think you're fooling. Stop acting like Banky W with your fabricated rags to riches story. How about when you land ? You're a Canadian CITIZEN. You have access to many social benefits including housing when you land. Canada takes care of it's citizens. Stop it.

You'd have to know all Nigerians born abroad to make that assertion.
The story is not a lie, you don't have to believe it if you don't want to.

Like I said, you don't know my story so stop assuming. As for benefits, you're right but you also need information, information YOU have at the back of your hand because you've lived here for long but I don't.
I just learned about Ontario Works two days ago for instance. The title of this thread should give you a clue.

You should stop assuming maternal.

When it comes to your families wealth you always ignore it. Answer now. How does a poor Nigerian secure visa to Canada? How does a poor Nigerian afford to give birth out of pocket ? Not to mention paying for a 2 way ticket and accommodation when she was in Canada to give birth ? You have many services that'll give Canadian citizens all the info they need to access whatever they need. Even the immigration officer could tell you once you land. Including ontario works which you now know off. Stop this false rags to riches story. "My story" you're a Canadian citizen. Your "story" was secure with that passport from birth. You're only insulting yourself.

I have reasons to believe op's story.

I know a bro that came here just after completing secondary school. His parent were probably middle class Nigerians. That was also his first time in Canada after the parents returned to Nigeria, as he was born here in the mid-1970's. His dad came here on scholarship and the mum came along a year after and they had him.

In London, there are several cases on Nigerians born in the 60's and 70's whose parents were also on schorlaships.

The parents all returned to Nigeria with the kids in all the cases, and some of them really suffered in Nigeria before getting a chance to return. One I know of personally as he is family. The mum lost his birth certificate not long after they returned to Nigeria in the early 1970's, and the mum was late. It was tough to prove the citizenship even though he eventually got it. Prior to travelling in his mid 30's, the bro suffer in Nigeria nor be small.

This man left at a really late age despite being a Canadian citizen. That's why I'm doubting his suffa suffa story.

I don't come from a wealthy family, I believe I've mentioned that before. I'm not obligated to go into personal details here but if we meet in person, I have no problems telling you.
I'm also not sure where you're getting this rags to riches story you're projecting.

And there's a reason for that. Plenty reasons in fact but none to do with personal or family wealth.

This is extremely similar to my story, particularly the bolded parts. Thank you for being open minded.

The absolutely easiest way would be by marriage to a citizen I guess. Other than that, through school, Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Program.

Lastly if you have enough capital (I can't remember the minimum amount) to establish a business in Canada, you can obtain citizenship.

Cheers.


Edit: You asked about how blacks are treated.

I don't feel like I'm being treated differently but I haven't stayed long enough to say with any certainty. I've read that it could be cleverly disguised with politeness (and these people can be very polite) but I can't say yet. So far, I haven't noticed anything to make me raise my eyebrows.

I've been a bit low-key for a while, so there hasn't been much to post, at least where pictures are concerned.

I just got into Canadian Radio and I quite like it. My fix for now is Virgin FM. I haven't left it long enough to like another one. Met a neighbor from Bangladesh, very interesting guy. Turns out there are a lot of similarities between Nigeria and Bangladesh.

If I see anything interesting I'll try and grab a picture for the thread but I'm a bit wary of sharing experiences going forward.

Keep sharing bro. We will soon join you

I didn't use a Visa so I'm not very familiar with the process. I'd advice you to look into express entry or PNP.
Find out what expenses you are likely to incur, study for your IELTS and follow the other processes. If there's any field you'd like to work in, try to see if there's an international certification you can get in Nigeria before coming.

i know someone who studied in the uk on scholarship and gave give birth to a child there pre 1983. He gave birth to the rest in 9ja. Today they are broke. Only the first son could go back and is supporting the family with the little he can.

Wyzoe maybe you will have a little idea about this. I've been dreaming to relocate to Canada as no country anyone mentions to me appeals to me.
Before now, I couldn't raise any money due to family and you know, school fees for siblings, rent and others. I had to put travelling Aside but I've not been happy at all here.
I picked up a job in IT in a company though I have a major in economics but IT is my interest. I ha e saved up about 500k and I practically don't have a clue of what my next step should be.
Please is there anything you can tell me?

Are you below or above 30 years, single or married, are some of the criteria that would determine one's score which will eventually leads to ITA

That place is filled with information so you might not be able to assimilate when you read only some part, google CRS calculator and start from there

Oga wyzoe please don't stop o,just know that you are motivating a soul over here
