someone earning 30k will pay tax of roughly 3k/annum ..... (s)he has abt 25k left. Financial intelligence &discipline are quite important .

2,000 cad per month can still allow for savings for someone smart.

Housing + other home utilities ----1050cad
transportation------ transit (100cad) if transit , it could be about 50 cad with a subsidy based on income
feeding----- 200cad
Phone bills ---- 50 cad
other expenses ------ 100 cad.(toiletries, occassional clothes and shoes e.t.c)

Total is $1500 (1050 +100+200+50+100)
$2000-$1500 -= $500 possibly for savings

But an idiot earning that low will possibly spend foolishly and may acquire the latest BenZ and paying installmentally.

Exactly!

BiggyB242:
Thanks for your reply. What If you have roomies in an apartment closer to your location what's the max you can save. Estimate please

Maybe a little lower in gas if you drive.

Timi1990:
There’s no way you’ll save $1000 if you make $2500 monthly; unless you still live with your parents and they’re helping out with few things . That’s the honest truth

There is. And no you don’t need to live with your parents. Where do you live?

ChiefkeefGB4:
It's true his friend is into drugs or 419,unless he works as a doctor.

And he can’t be working as a doctor in 6years.

group507:
I saw here people telling you to migrate to Canada legally with 4M. I know people who really want to migrate to Canada and 4M is no problem
I live in Canada and will happily pay 4M plus extra 2M for my brother to get here

Drop your info if you have the connection
I will pay 2M minimum

How do you wanna bring your brother, studies?

Techsunny:
I red some one comments , how u pay taxes , buy house, bla bla bla, my friend has been in canada for good 6yrs now,bro come to lagos and see investiment, just 6yrs in Canada , he has a plaza in port, hotel in lagos,dup in gbada, land in lekki where he's selling Canada used cars, the guy is fucking rich now, may be ur village people are after u pls u better come back to shit hole.ndi oso chi egbu.

What does your friend do?

nextstep:
It doesn't strike anyone as odd that he can raise 4M in Nigeria? Ask those in Canada, US, or UK if they've been able to save 4M - with no outstanding obligations like debt - in the time they've worked there.

How long did he save it? How long are you giving the people in Canada?

As a student I had saved 4million then.
And as a working class many people make this money easily in months..
The way you guys talk sef eh.. like you don’t pay house rents and bills too

I’m gonna be honest and say Canada is way better than Nigeria and no bills are not gonn’ kill you. Many people here pay it and still have mansions down there!

sakssey23:
.

I'm not talking about the States. Nah Canada me dey refer too and also not talking about the likes of Vancouver but a city that is just average. A province like SK.
People survived as students at 1000$ and below.. after paying rent.

You are right!

Godbpraised:
@ OP i would like to ask u some few questions. How old are you ? if you are above 40years i would advice you stay in Nigeria and make your money and enjoy ur self. people in abroad find it hard to gather that money, you have bills to pay, hydro, water, rent, INTERNET bills, car insurance my brother these are all the witches and wizard we have in the abroad. it is taxes taxes upon taxes. I just read some comments and laugh. even those who are successful are heavily taxed like fat cows. if you buy house for abroad if you wan sell after 25 years government of Canada or U.K or USA would collect 50% from the profit you make, i have been in Canada now for two years. my people oyinbo be like devil them collect N100 from you give u N10. my brother my advice if you can maintain and calm down u would be surprised God can give you insight. however if you are young and not married, say you are 30 years then you can consider traveling out. again this is my advice it should not form a generalized opinion. Again experience is a pleasant teacher.

Then Go home. Stop lying crap! Don’t Nigerians have bills. Where are you in Canada sef!

He can migrate at any age for his safety and that of his kids.

Timi1990:
If you save $100 in a month then you must be real akagum

From 2500?
Are you kidding me?!

Except you are someone who parties and buys drinks and live beyond your means. You should be able to save a thousand from that money monthly.
And also depending on the city you live in

grandstar:
I'm not doubting you but many who traveled later regretted saying if they had known what they'll encounter, they would have never gone in the first place.

Many doing menial jobs aren't happy but shame won't make them come home. The pay over there may seem high in Naira but won't get you far.

Well if you are a doctor in Nigeria it will take time to be accredited in Canada. Every course actually. There is no need to be ashamed. Menial jobs are for awhile

BiggyB242:
Please a quick question. With a monthly income of 2500 dols, how much can save?

500-up depending on your spending and lifestyle

Canada.
Express Entry
All the best Op

Joblessness

There’s nothing you cannot cause.

emeijeh:
Its easy if you got permit and the country's ID card

Yap so how

Flier:
Just called them with your international number,they’d ask you to write a letter and attach your passport data page and your visa page then scan it and send it by email
Depends on bank anyway but that is how I did my own
Beside you should try to open a new account it’s quite easy

How can someone open an acct from overseas without BVN?

Sirpaul:
At 18, I made my first million. At 20, I made five million per week.

How did I do it?

Very simple! if you can think it, you can achieve it.

Motivational Speakers, Thunder fire you!

You are mad aswear

magicminister:
Like I always say, Nigeria is the most ignorant country on earth.

About 2 or 3 women have accused the same pastor of sexually assaulting them. Is he the only pastor in Nigeria?
Regardless of the truism or falseness of thee accusation, it’s not for us to defend the accused.

Rape is a very sensitive issue and victims are often traumatized for life. women that are brave enough to come out are shamed and their character attacked....

We need to stop this and be sympathetic to our women and children.

Exactly. One person o every single time nah him!

fishjam:
Just a question, if 15yr old boy have consensual sex with a 15yrd old girl, is it lawful? Is it a rape. They are both minors. Just wondering ooooo

Consensual is not rape! Consent! Consent!

Jobac:
In as much as I am against the Rapist Pastor, it seems the only reason why Ayo Bankoke wants Segalink to sue the Pastor is for COZA to be closed down. Hmmm...this man is an enemy of Christ. Pastor Fatoyinbo should be charged and not for the church to be closed down.

Why is the church quiet. Everything should close. We have had enough!

If only every Nigerian will speak out like this.
Op you are a good person

Dudeweedlmao:
There's like only 30 people in that country.

Dey born pikin nah

Baabu320:
bto do you any link for the processing i have a bro who is interested and he is an electrician

Google Canadian express entry

byrron:
I have got no time for kids here. If you where mentally matured enough and rational, then you won't condescend to this level of childishness which is the typical characteristic of lots of kids like you roaming on this platform.

If you still can't comprehend what I meant by " My relocation was stress free" then I can't help you and if that is what constitutes illegality to you then I can only sympathize with your comprehension deficiencies.

Grow up.

I am growing since am a kid. I wish you all best. Trying to insult you is a waste of my time. Stay safe

byrron:
I'm not under any obligation to do that.

You are not nor would you because it was probably illegal. You see? I was right all along

nurez305:
Thank you for your reply. I hope is not menial work like cleaning and doing Shitty work?

Well if you expect to become the president once you arrive here. You better stay there cos there is no need cos yea you gonn’ do shitty jobs first cos no one recognizes your Nigerian Degree, masters or Ph.D or whatever you have.

byrron:
It is always advisable to read first, understand the subject in discuss and then make your contributions.

If you had taken your time to read my first comment on this post as well as my response to the commenter you are holding brief for, then you won't have proceeded to make the canceled comments above because it was riddled with incorrect assertions which could have been averted only if you did read my first post.

Just a little education for you, not every student Visa automatically Grant's you a work permit authorization here in United states.

I see. Thanks for correction. But you still haven’t told me how you migrated

You know what they say about lights in Naija?
They don’t usually last. It’s why we are bringing to you these inverters..handcrafted, cheap and built to your taste.
Different batches are produced as we speak..
Call us on the number listed below to order yours now

byrron:
Kindly point out to me where I started that I relocated the wrong way? My relocation was hazard free because of due diligence which I stated that I never had a bumpy ride and I also shared an experience of 3 different families I know of that had good paying jobs back in Nigeria then before relocating and they still haven't found their bearing till this moment.

People's experiences differ and there can never be a universal experience for everyone which is why we need to learn from other people's experiences so as to plan wisely and then make an informed decision.

Kindly read what I stated earlier again and make corrections on misrepresentations of what I stated.

The scenario you stated above has been happening for decades but sadly, not everyone secures a job from organizations that hires them and then go ahead to process a work permit which now enables them to have an SSN like in United States.

Do you have an idea of of hundred of thousands of professionals from all over the world trying to relocate through such a process? Many apply but few are lucky to get by and if it was as easy as you stated above because of one lucky family you know then Nigeria would have been empty by now because all professionals would have left a long time ago.

The scenario you mentioned above is one of the legitimate ways people do try to apply and see if they will be among the fortunate few they will get hired just like the same way millions of people play the then US Visa lottery which also is a legitimate means through which one can relocate but how many people out of the millions that applied are that lucky?

We ain't arguing about the legitimate means of relocating rather my advice is for the OP to apply due diligence and then make an a knowledge based decision.

Thanks.

He meant if you relocated the right way you’d have had the right to work or your friends, that is getting SSN. Not just as a visitor, visitors are not allowed to work But students are. Workers are too. If you are one of these, you will eventually find a job. But no you couldn’t work because you don’t have the right authorization is what he meant and rightly so. That’s illegitimate!

Now tell me, How did you relocate?

cvibe2:
You relocated the wrong way

A family I know just relocated the right way. The lady applied for nursing job from Nigeria. She was employed after all the usual exchanges, etc. The company applied for work permit for the family.. wife husband and kids in Nigeria, and they were given.

Now tell me, will the family have any issues enjoying the relocation? Absolutely not!

So, OP, if you want to relocate, relocate the right way so that you can enjoy the fun of your relocation.


My take!

Correct!

nurez305:
I have HND and I will love to migrate to Canada. What is my faith in getting something doing over there?

Please help me with some information if it is better for me to try it or not to bother waste any money

Come first, there are jobs.

goshen26:
Hairdressing
Nurse (but u will attend their school to be certified there)
Barber
Plumbing etc

I have a family friend (a couple) that are enjoying there by running a restaurant

In Canada, you need to be certified for all of these you listed above, i.e you need to go to school not long though. But yes, it is a good one
