@Op if you ignore this comment and keep waiting for God to speak from Heaven, na sorry be your case ooo. Nothing and I repeat Nothing is worth staying in Nigeria for if you have the opportunity to migrate to a serious minded country. No let your village people win this battle ooo. Leave and help some of us that don't have any family there. You can be a Ladder to many people ooo. Leave their stupid and useless Federal Job ooooooo. I warn you ooooooo.

hmmm...thank you for your advise Sir

ominirajj:

AnthonyAk:


What are your skiils?
are they transferrable to Canada?
Where in Canada are your siblings?
Are they married? whats their situation?
How much money do you have?

If you can answer all these then it will determine your Canadian experience

Although I have garnered experience in the health and financial services sectors, my major experience in the civil service is mainly administrative. From my findings, my job classification is included in the Canadian NOC. My professional certifications are spread across HSE, EIA, Fire Safety and Prevention, CPR and First Aid, Oil and Gas Environmental Management, etc. I also have adequate knowledge of the use of Microsoft Office and some other statistical package like SPSS. I intend to enroll for more ICT related trainings though.

Three of my siblings over there are married save one. They all have their citizenship now. They are doing white collar jobs and are very okay. They reside in different provinces; Winnipeg, Ontario, Alberta.

I have quite some savings plus a land property in Abuja (cost about 3m) although my siblings keep reassuring me of picking up all necessart expenses needed to migrate successfully. Last month alone (despite the COVID-19), they sent me 120k altogether for my upkeep. Thanks

ayodayg:

Nickymichy:

so I no get sense abi? thanks for your advise though. I really appreciate

TheManhattan:
All these fake ass thread.

really? What will make it genuine? Posting my picture or my appointment letter or perhaps my work ID to prove I am a public servant? Or post screenshots of my conversations with my siblings to validate the thread? Anyway, it's your opinion and thanks for contributing still.

landpro:
If I see u in Nigeria tomorrow I will kick you out.

mkoabiola:
A govt ministry pays a level ten officer 80k as net salary....

Incredible

Ridiculous...

Unbelievable


Abeg which ministry is this?

80k for level ten.

Nawa ooooo.

This can't b true

Are you a civil servant? I bet you are not, else you wouldn't display this level of ignorance. People like you are why civil servants steal and do all manner of shady deals. You simply expect too much from us. Well, not everybody works in FIRS, NNPC, PPPRA, NIMASA, CBN, NDIC and the likes. Please go and research on the new minimum wage and you'll know there is nothing to celebrate about. An entry level university graduate earns less than 60k monthly in the new minimum wage CONPSS structure.

Kemimarch16:
I will advice u to go to Canada

thanks

Mikelarteta:
If you have the opportunity, I sincerely believe you will be better of here in Canada . Am not exaggerating, on my off days outside regular job, I do food delivery and I bet you can make that 1 month salary you make in Nigeria in 10 hours.

thank you bro.

Jack500:
See this Op o, u are just in level 10 and u are saying u have gone far, even those in level 14 are porting, level 10 that is the entry level for professionals like pharmacist etc, na there u say u gone far with 80k salary?

U are not yet serious, move as fast as possible if u have the legal means or u will live to regret it forever(now this is not a threat, but a warning)

Peace.

LOL. When I mentioned going far, I didnt mean in terms of my salary. I meant in terms of my years in service. But I also reason with the popular comments here. My salary is the reason I haven't settled down yet. I'm not even in a serious relationship cos of fear. Thanks for your honest contribution.

Holyfield1:
What are you still doing in Nigeria?

Currently getting a Canada VISA isn't a child's play but if you're so sure you have all the requirements

Apply and flee please

Federal or no federal job, this country has no future

Please do the needful and your children will forever thank you.

Thank you. If I'm consider the option of leaving, I'll be using the express entry route. I only need to prepare for and ace IELTS as other factors such as age, work experience, academic qualification and having siblings who are canadian citizens put me at advantage. Precise, my family has a good migration history in canada. Even other families use our assistance to migrate. Actually, I'm considering that option because of my unborn children. I know training children with a salary of less than 100k in Nigeria can be herculian. My siblings told me their kids enjoy free education in canada.

martineverest:
u think Canadian visa is easy to get?....better stay in naija.the cost of house rent per month in Canada is far more than ur entire salary in Nigeria per month

.the world is entering recession and it will be hard in abroad in coming months

I quite agree with you that canadian visa aint easy to come by, but my mum travels at least twice a year to the same place. My family name has a good migration history with no crime record with the canadian government. Also, we settle really fast due to the support we give each other. All my siblings have acquired canadian degrees and have white collar jobs. Settling down over there isn't my fear but abandoning the career I have built here. Thanks for your contribution.

Anthony0094:
if all these people they shot because of lockdown are in canada they will be alive today, and that is alive and have the chance to leave here is asking weather u have to,


my brother RUN

hmmm. Thanks bro

oka4ugoo:
You can do both bro. Pursue another federal job bro, secure the job, at least collect two or three months salaries before u migrate bro. But before u migrate bro, do not resign from the job, I repeat do not resign, just drop them a letter that you dey go for medical treatment abroad by that way 3 or 4 more months salaries fit drop before their eyes go clear. Nigeria na scam, so if you fit scam Nigeria scam the useless country.

hahaha. You got me laughing really hard. Thanks for your submission bro.

olayincar:
Bro...abeg leave this country jor
Canada all the way

thank you

directonpc:
Can you take me?

Would have loved to. I'm sure doors will open for you too by God's grace.

CanadaOrBust:
Canada, Canada my friend, Canada!

your moniker

softplace:
believe me as a tech person doing well in Nigeria, i still want to move abroad and just in a dilemma

if i should stay or go

By God grace i earn between #300 to #500k in a month but still feel i should move

i would be 27 this year sha

i almost had a job in canada but lost it because i dont save my projects on git that was what the company asked me but didnt have it to prove i did them

the reason why i don't save on git is because most Nigerians are not patient , they give you a project by 1am and expect it to be ready before 12pm, so i skip a lot of things

thank you

Ikjosh04:
Hi TallNigerian, i suggest you move to Canada besides the many opportunities and sane society Canada have above Nigeria. You also have 4 siblings who are Canadian citizens who should help your transition to Canada very swiftly. You should get settled in, in less than 3 months and before 6 months you should be living your dream life including career wise.
I sent you a pm, kindly reply.

Thank you. I'll mail you later in the morning.

MrHighSea:
Enyia or Egbon or Aboki,
Tomorrow morning call your brothers and tell them,
"Canada is calling".
Village people can't succeed.

Thank you Sir

PoliticallyInco:



Move to Canada. In my humble opinion.
Biko.
That your level 12 salary could be a week's pay in Canada. The beginning will be rough. But you are a Nigerian. You are dogged. Go there have a plan. Get a goal. Take actions to chase it based on the Canadian environment. Ordinary DoorDash or Point Pickup in the US for example gives you 100 Dollars per day. Per day. Almost 40k per day. (Don't know what the exchange rate is as I type this).

Thanks for your kind contribution. If I leave, I intend to pursue a new degree and subsequently a professional career in public health or ICT. Although my master degree is in environmental and marine pollution management and my current job description is administrative in nature. My siblings are really supportive and they are quite successful. One is a lecturer in Winnipeg, one an engineer in Ontario and so on. Settling down over there should not be a problem.

NDakota:
The career dilemma...

Many years ago I was where you are now.

I took the road less traveled. I settled for a career in Nigeria.

I got a job in a Big 4. Then moved on to an FMCG, where the perks are much higher!

On education, I got chartered, and I'm finishing an MBA.

On family, I got married to my best friend from University, and I just made my first baby.

Do I regret not moving to the US to join my mom, a US citizen?

I do. Every. Single. Minute.

Why? Nigeria is a very uncertain place to stay and thrive. You could be up there in the sky today and the next week you're back on the mud. In a country of many poor people, you run the risk of becoming a victim of crime due to envy...post COVID-19 it'll get worse.

Look at me at 28. I still regret the mistake my 25 year old self made. I'm pushing daily to leave Nigeria.

Quite insightful. Thank you for your honest opinion. It will help a great deal in forming my decision. God bless you.

Hello Nairalanders,

I will be 30 years in a few months and I have never felt so much unease as I do right now. I work with one of the federal parastatals and I am currently on level 10 going to 12 next year. I have a Master degree athough it is not exactly relevant to my current job.

The problem is that my organisation uses the Ministry salary structure and my monthly net is below 80k even as a level 10 staff.

I am not married and I am academically inclined. Asides having a Master degree, I have over 8 professional certifications.

I have been trying to clinch a transfer of service to a better parastatal where the remuneration is better and where my knowledge/experiences as a science graduate will be better appreciated but it has been a bit difficult.

However, just before the COVID-19 episode in Nigeria, I got the right link for a transfer of service to a better parastatal but the process got stalled with the COVID-19 palaver.

I have 4 siblings who are Canadian citizens and they have been on my neck to migrate. I never took the calls seriously until this lockdown period. My siblings are arguing about the uncertainty of the Nigerian economy post-covid and advising me to seize this opportunity to migrate and start a new career over there?

My question therefore, "is it wise to stay back since I have gone quite far in my public service career and just wait for the opportunity to transfer my service to a better paying federal parastatal OR do I migrate to Canada and start a new career?

Your honest inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks!

@CrazyMan @1forall Please I need your help in pushing this forward for a wider view. Thank you.
