If you overspeed or cross traffic light thinking that no one is watching you just get pulled over in the next stop and get a ticket!

The situation is becoming dire. Almost 830k international students will be out of status if urgent pathway is not created. Indian students have been protesting about their current situation, where most of them have ran out of status. My relative that got to Canada since July hasn't seen any job yet. Course work and assignments, coupled with Canadian lifestyle is taking a toll on her.
True, someone who even moved from sakaskchewan to Toronto has been looking for jobs for the past 2 months. No job, dude has a job in sakaskchewan before moving and he thought Toronto is better. He moved here now he is stuck

Thanks for the valuable information you just drop. God bless you grin.
Please can you please share more light on the route to PR for migrant on study permit.
Well, there are limited pathways and nothing is promised , for those who are interested here is a video released this week by the immigration minister . Students are only aware that there are limited pathways when they entered canada. This has called for concerns especially by the indian population here asking the minister questions since they stopped their CEC canadian experience class draw which was what students hugely depended on to transit to PR. The minister promised to announce fresh pathways for those who are already in. Some in Atlantic provinces get PNP but that is also getting tighter now and requirement is getting tougher. This is because as of 2023 over 1.8million temporary residents entered canada within 2 years.

I have uploaded the video here , You can watch his speech below .like and subscribe.



All the best to everyone

How are you guys doing, it’s part 23 already. I haven’t been here since April , fast forward I am keeping my hope alive here in canada after a year plus. This was my last conversation here when buchito1 shared his own experience in April part 22, it’s been very hard for me here but by God grace, I am surviving. I will not discourage anyone. I want people to come and experience things here themselves.



buchito1:
Hey guys! Been soo long here! I really cannot remember how long it has being.

Today 2nd April 2033 makes it exactly 1 year of me been in Canada. And all I can say is that it's only been God, support and encouragement from my family back home and the family I already created here in Canada. How I have been surviving? I don't know! It's only God!

Cause without him, I wouldn't be writing this epistle right here.

The struggle has been hard, crazy, intense, lots to learn, combining working and going to school (even the jobs ain't easy to come by). God has been faithful to me, brought good people around me (Nigerians) because really, good people are hard to find here. Over here, nobody has time for you, nobody really cares about you. Everybody's trying to survive, everyone's almost lost in the struggle. That friend wey you think say na your bestie, ask am for $50 and watch as e go tell you him life history come run leave you in seconds.

Guys don't believe anyone who tells you Canada is all bed of roses! It is a fat lie!!! Canada is not for the faint hearted!!! Nothing is easy to get here, you must work like a donkey and follow due process to get anything you want.

When I was in Nigeria, I have never worked like the way I do here! Even the school wey them dey tell us that year say e easy pass primary school, I can categorically tell you that our education at home is decades away from what they're doing here. The education system here can make you mad! Most especially if you don't make enquiries and also ask questions (follow who know road) you'd be lost! I almost lost it in my first semester, till I began to ask questions.

For the work aspect, guys, don't mind those nonsense people keep saying, say "work full Canada", Zero your mind you might not do anything here for months. Even if you see something doing, you'd do everything you've never done in your life. There's no Job I've not done in this country, I think the only Job I haven't done is to wash dead body, which I'll never do. ☠️

Be prepared to be humbled. Jobs you feel you could never ever do in Nigeria, be prepared to do them here, unless you came into the country with a sh*t pile of cash, but if you're like us, wey tell IRCC say we get 100K USD for the account 😂 then you have to be prepared to do all sort of things just to survive.

I know lots of people who haven't done anything in more than 5 months here. Living with their Naira's from Nigeria. Like I said, don't be deceived by what you see on the Internet on how excess jobs in Canada. The good jobs here, nobody's ready to leave it, especially those Indians (I call them Fulani Herdsmen) those Herdsmen are everywhere like flies! Every nook and cranny, them dey, and trust me, na them dey get update pass, but never trust them, they'll boot you off when they have the chance!

For the weather aspect, I live in British Columbia. It's fair to say it's the warmest province in the whole of Canada. But when I mean warm don't think Nigerian warm or South African warm. Warm in the sense that were currently on 3°C and during extreme weather conditions it could get to like - 14°C. Don't forget freezing point for your freezer na 0°C grin so literally, we live inside freezer.
I stayed in Toronto for about 4 months and the weather is way more extreme than British Columbia. Good thing is for those coming in this April, the weather has gotten better, but is still gonna be so cold for newcomers. So please come prepared with good winter dresses.

Another thing is this, guys don't do the mistake of coming to Canada without any $$$, abeg come with something to support yourself for sometime, e dey very important. You don't wanna come here and start begging, you need funds to survive as a first timer. It's extremely important.

Mehn, it's being a journey for me here, trust me, so many ups and downs, if I tell people, them go tell me say better days dey come... Like this, I still dey find that better days oh! 😭 But God dey..

Thanks to SEUN for this platform! Without Nairaland, my journey to Canada wouldn't be possible. I also thank all the good people who assisted me during my process e no easy! Lianna, lekiboeboe, I can't remember the rest... Y'all are the real OGs!
By the grace of God, it'll rain PPR for everybody here! This thread 22 is gonna be your thread of testimonies! If you believe say a big AMEN!!!
Those refused, please don't give up! You know what you want, restrategise and hit them again! Trust me, you're gonna get it right this TIME! Na who give up fu*k up! I'm rooting for you! kiss

If you're coming to UCW or Vancouver and need information on anything kindly reach out to me, I'd do my best in explaining everything and anything to you.

Thanks for reading my long story guys. Have a lovely night rest ❤️

My brother the truth hurts and you just nailed it. I was expressing the same thing in the express entry thread and someone who I am sure has never travelled kept saying Bla bla bla
That I am trying to discourage people from coming .

I am in Toronto eglinton area and With what I have seen here in canada I am disappointed. This is not what I expect. There are centennial college students who has been here for 5 months looking for just common menial jobs and they can’t find any. Anyone that have high hope coming here will regret it. It will take several years to get things together in canada.

Always check the registration date to know how long the moniker has been on Nairaland. Some of them (they've been caught) are people who have been repeatedly denied visa to foreign countries and are currently on the mission to dissuade, create cock and bull stories to paint the exodus in a bad light.
This is reality here I don’t know this op , I am in Toronto and life is hard here . this is what most Nigerians facing here and this is to encourage anyone coming here to have an idea of what they should expect and come prepared with strong financial backup back home.

Hello, guys
I don't want to bore you guys with long epistle. Yes, as the title suggests.

I travelled to Canada through the study route this January but I can tell you for a fact that I'm already bored with this place.

I'm redoing a 2 year program that I have already concluded in Naija but just because I want japa, I redid it. But that's not the issue.

The issue is that I'm working in a company but the department I was posted to was a physical demanding one..

To the extent that if I work for a day, I feel pain all over my body for a week. And this is seriously affecting my education because anytime i go to work, i wouldn't have the energy to do anything again as i would be so weak. but i have to work because i have bills to pay.

Nobody send you for here except you want sleep for cold outside.

Even half of my salary goes in the form of settling bills.

The work makes me depressed. This is not what I bargained for. .

For me to raise money for my tuition fees and travel expenses, at least I wasn't doing bad in Nigeria before i left. In addition, I hardly have time for myself.

My situation is even better, most of people who we came same time haven't found jobs yet.

My thinking is if I should ask for refund of my remaining tuition fee and relocate back Naija, or go back Naija and take some courses online, as there seems to be an option for that.
Dear I am doing construction labour job in Toronto weekdays and Weekends I work as dishwasher in a restaurant I wish I could post videos of what I did yesterday for 10 hours lifting heavy items and mobbing moving to pick dishes cleaning meat machine and other equipments, this is not those small restaurants in naija these are big restaurants where you can wash over 20,000 dishes using hot water. If I post the videos here no one will want to come to canada again.

Here is not easy . I was doing pretty good back home and I thank God I Invested home so I can come back anytime when I finally get tired. On the outside looking it many people don’t know what is going on here in canada. They only hear the name canada and everyone want to come here. I advice my friends in Europe to stay back in Europe one of them didn’t listen to my advice, that God be came on holiday trip and saw what is going on here in canada . If you buy a house here it can take upto 50years to pay up mortgage if you are still alive and if the house isn’t foreclosed for payment fail failure except you are those african politicians who bring stolen funds from Africa to Come and buy houses here.

I am guessing you are in Manitoba probably Winnipeg, i moved to Alberta same thing! the worse part is i cant deal with the useless Indian people they are like a plaque and a virus ( all though they look out for themselves, while Africans and most especially Nigerians envy and hate themselves and want nothing to do with each other, isnt this crazy? omoh i tire abeg, fyi i lived in canada for 10yrs)
My Brother far and wide there is no place like home, most importantly any day 9ja gets it right i will move back, but until then na to persevere and make use of the bright side of canada. Honestly Africans, Nigerians forget it we are accomodating and friendly and also loving to strangers but not out here.

TravelRe: Canada As A Whole Is Wildly Overrated by Wsx2: 4:33am On Apr 06, 2023
Those that aren’t here will not understand what the op is saying .though better than nigeria but life is hard here and it’s not easy .on the outside looking in people think canada is the best . Everything is expensive. You are paying 1200 cad for a room with monthly wage of 3500 cad , food phone bills are still waiting . Many graduates are doing menial jobs after appending thousands of dollars to go to school. The jobs are not there. It’s hard to make it in canada .house is very expensive and people who brags online saying they bought house bla bla , most of them will not pay up mortgage till they die.

If you own a house in nigeria it’s yours , if you say you buy house here in canada then Be ready to sacrifice your whole life to pay for it.
Everything is expensive and it’s hard to make it . I always advice my fellow Nigerians to invest back home due to exchange . Our own people are not also helping matter, this is what mrs ngoni chioma in lawrence avenue sold to us for 134cad
A cad is around 610naira black market
Food that doesn’t worth upto 15k in nigeria .

You are so funny! Like electric bike are cheap, They cost almost $1800-$2000 or how many Nigerian can ride electric bike inside this canada weather. One can only do ubereat if you have a job to alternate with, you can't survive only with ubereats in Canada. This Japa journey I won't even advice any of my family member or even enemies to come with borrowed funds. My own cent is, if you are doing 2years program, have at least one-year tuition, or even full tuition, and your one-year living expenses in handy, and make sure those funds are readily available to you. No con come here and start be doing Mumu video lol. Students are working unlimited hrs now that if you submited your study permit application before IRCC announce the unlimited hrs. If you recently submits your application nah just 20hrs you fit do. Make friends with other races, and don't forsake the black community, coz most part-time jobs are based on referral. If you are coming to BC this summer. Holla me when you land, my company will be recruiting this summer (only for guys), if you sabi drive and have an original 9ja license that's a plus for you with additional $, all you just to need to take is one driving practice test, and learn those road sign. Pls its might take me longer to respond. Coz time nah money for here. But send me a message you have arrived. Will send my number to you for link up. Shalom
You just nailed it brother,
I don’t think the person is even in canada talking bla bla Uber eats he must have thought it’s nigeria where anyone can get on the road and ride a bike.

A PR holder’s driver license was withdrawn last week and 6points removed from his driving point and also ordered to come to court for common simple accident which didn’t even affect anyone but just his car and they also jacked up his insurance fee to 1,000 cad each month so as to frustrate him from driving again. The man is depressed as we speak. Someone who makes 3500cad a month and insurance want to take 1000cad each month when rent is still there and food and phone bills and this will last for 3years just because he drove his car to barricade and the car was even written off . Now he has to use the train and spend 3 hours to work everyday as we speak he is already planning to move to Quebec from Toronto! Electric bikes cost 3000cad above and you want to even rent one and learn to navigate the routes and also pray it’s not -5 degrees above out there . It is well

uber eats with bicycle or electric bike is there they should go do that one. There are many fast food stores, grocery stores etc looking for staff. What kind of job did you think will be available to students in the first place. Many students came to Canada with borrowed funds and showing proof of funds. Now they are crying. You better endure and wait for better days. After all no one forced you to apply.
It’s easier to type on phone when you are not in people’s shoes . You just saying Uber eat bla bla grocery stores , you have one in Canada right and you are currently recruiting . I dare you to apply for jobs in Toronto right now. Set up account online and apply and see if you will get something in a month or 2.

I currently work with a construction company. I met a lot of students in groups Indians Bangladeshi Lebanese not just Nigerians looking for common menial jobs everywhere and there. You are saying people come to canada with bta. Good for you since you have bta and you thought these people don’t have bta. You thought everyone is buhari’s daughter right.

People are paying 1200 cad each month on a single room in Toronto, now come with 15,000,000 million bta and change it to cad and see how long that one will last you in Toronto without working . Nonsense

This post is not intended to discourage anyone trying to come to Canada Rather my aim is to help make you better prepared.
1) Cheap tuition are often found in provinces where part time jobs might be very limited. As of today some students in Nova Scotia are having a really tough time financially. So please do your research.
2) Canadian schools are doing their best to cash out from international students which results in high number of admissions but please research about courses, do not pick course out of sentiments because coursework can be demanding. Imagine someone coming here with a kid and doing an M.eng course.
3) money is very important, student life limits your ability to hustle, yes people survive but not everyone has high threshold of handling pressure/stress.
Finally let’s populate Canada 🇨🇦 good luck and it shall rain PPR this month.
I am I. Toronto and you have given them a good advice . I know 3 people who have been here for 4 months in Toronto and hasn’t gotten a single menial job. They apply everyday.

Most of the jobs in Toronto are located in vaughn where many warehouses are situated and it’s like 2 to 3 hours away from many colleges. I also heard students in Niagara college are withdrawing from the school because of lack of part time jobs.

It isn’t this bad in Western Europe and even uk. Anyone coming here should plan very well and come in with cash that can last for several months . Canada is not the way it’s been painted. A medical doctor who came in with pr is doing meNial Job simple because there are over 19000 doctors and nurses in canada that are banned just because they came in with foreign degree. They told them to go back to school In canada before they can get highly skilled job so indirectly canada is just milking international students

Haba! that is a huge exaggeration. There’s probably a decent number of people earning in that range but not 80%. I agree that Canada is an expensive country, the cost of living is insane. I’ve never lived in UK so can’t offer any insights there but I have several friends there on work permits and study visa and they are all on this Canada waka so something is obviously missing that is spurring them on to still pursue Canada.
You I’ll come to see for yourself hopefully. people lie a lot and sweet talk . It’s better to say things the way it is . anyone that have the courage can take chances. I have seen some Engineers who moved to dubai from canada despite having their PR .they only come to canada every now and then to renew their status and go back to Uae . They rather work in dubai due to the high wage and low tax than taking a 50k cad job here and tax and bills takes away the money. When you see naija talking and capping, thank the Nigerian government for destroying our currency. When you exchange little money it becomes a lot in nigeria but it’s nothing here in canada

I agree with obtaining certifications to boost your chances which is the same in all parts of the world, but the fact that 80% of people earn 45k/yr is not exactly true. I am in recruiting here and to the least, I have a fairly good data on this topic.

I lived in the UK for some years and it wasn't that bad there too. In my opinion, I would surely choose Canada ahead cos of how easy it is to own assets (house) and the clear transition to becoming a citizen (years 3). I have friends here making 7k weekly... They have been here for about 1 year. Meanwhile, the weather here is harsh and it's harder to go back home due to the long distance unlike UK.

Everyone should chase what they wanna... So long the goal is to leave Naija but I wouldn't discourage anyone from coming to Canada. The circle you keep will always determine your success anywhere.
I am sure you are aware of the queue ! long to get a skilled job which pays higher because many people are overqualified and some even have phds from where they immigrated from and still came to canada , took a fresh course and joined the queue . These folks have no option than to survive with menial jobs before it can get to their turn. The bills are huge !

My neighbors husband and wife are medical doctors from where they came from , they have to take new course here , their earnings just a little about 19cad per hour now since 4years . Same with some Europeans who have been here since over 20years earning 23cad per hour

You are not alone. Many people are leaving the UK for Canada. You can't compare sponsorship visa to permanent residency
I am in canada don’t let anyone deceive it’s not easy in canada. Don’t go by word of mouth I live here for now. 80 percent of residence here earns just between 40k to 45k cad per annum.

Also note that Jobs is very difficult to get in canada. Skilled jobs are more difficult. Menial jobs are also not everywhere. Also things are very expensive here most especially accommodation. Canada is between no doubt and everything is working but not the way it’s being painted . Only thing is most Average job hours are from 15, 17, 19cad of which junior doctors in uk get 14 pounds per hour which is just a bit higher than minimum here ! Also note that the social work that people are doing easily in uk you can’t try that here in canada. You must study before getting social work job you must have passed PSW . Also most jobs here requires a license certificate.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 22 by Wsx2:
I advise everyone to plan properly before coming to canada if you eventually get your visa . Canada is not the way it’s being painted. The country is. Beautiful no doubt and well organized but it is difficult to get jobs here . Skill jobs are even more difficult even the menial jobs are not everywhere. Everything is expensive especially in Toronto. If you don’t come with enough money you will regret it. Rent is paid each month and a lot of people are paying between 750 dollars to 1200 dollars a month for 1 room shared toilet and kitchen in Toronto. I also heard students in Niagara college are withdrawing from the school because their is no job in that location and many cannot afford to sustain themselves. Some people have been here since 3 months applying for menial jobs without getting in Toronto. Plan before coming here please

You spend in naira in Canada? That's bullshit!

Remember i used the word "intimidate people"; i wasn't talking about myself

I also live abroad and work as a doctor, and i don't think I'll be intimidated by the salary of a construction worker.

You guys use every opportunity you get to do nonsense boasting and show offs,
Stop quoting response if you are finding difficult to understand simple explanation I send my income home. I don’t have to show off I am blessed already before coming here I owned houses in nigeria so mind your business

How can you be talking about "100k a day job in Canada"?

Are you spending in naira there?

It doesn't just make sense to be converting to naira to intimidate people when you aren't going to spend in naira.
Yes I spend in naira . 60% earnings are converted to naira .stop using the word intimidation If you arent okay with your situation then change it

I am a ceo in nigeria too I now work in construction site in canada moving heavy equipments drilling setting fittings and cleaning debris! I have no regrets atleast I don’t have to see my neighbors in darkness each night and don’t have to spend hours in traffic . No mental health issues , no physiological issues, the fear of getting kidnapped or robbed or even killed has been suppressed. Good healthcare, good road basic amenities , healthy environment and more

I advice anyone if you have the opportunity to leave nigeria please do. Life is too short to live almost all off it miserably.

I am ok with my 100k a day job here in canada. If you have kids and a citizen you get 600dollars per child from government each month till your kids turned 18.
