This is absolutely spot on. You really hit the nail on the head. But our people will not understand. If one wants to go to Canada by all means, it must only be for the short term, get education and work experience which is not really the best in the top tier countries and leave a few moments later. Canada does not have any longevity for human habitation, both in people, agility, problem solving/innovative solutions, economy and well being. Even the Core Canadians know this and see no future in thier country and many dont live there or planning to exit too. Very sad but true. Nigeria is better. Well done and Godbless.

BabaRamota1980:
In terms of resourcefullness, manpower and skills, Nigeria is ahead of Canada, man to man. Canada should be on the bottom list of countries Nigerians should go. Infact, until 15 or 20yrs ago Nigerians would turn down offer to migrate to Canada. So what changed, and now every fool wants to go to Canada? The influence of human traffickers/salesmen and Churches. These two factors have contributed massively to this point that Canada has earned high profile as a destination country.

The reality of harsh conditions in Canada is hidden. Blackman loves things that glitter. So when they see pictures of buildings and streets in their glittering lights, polished and gleaming they are instantly enamored, and begin to imagine themselves walking on that street, living in those homes and occupying a office desk in those skycrapers. So when a trafficker approaches with an offer to help with visa it is a easy sell.

Reality happen when they are taken from airport to a refugee tent like this one.

Those who are lucky to get work visa are no better. They must pay rent, pay for electricity, pay for heating, pay for water, pay parking, pay trash collection. Goes to store to purchase food and must pay tax on top. Pay tax on income, pay toll tax, pay car registration tax, inspection tax...and upon all this lives in a neighborhood opposite of the glamor and glitter of Canada in pictures. He works in the skyscraper buildings but in security uniform.

Canada is a very big country, almost half the size of Africa, if not more. Yet, they have less than five metropolitan cities. Vancouver, Ontario, Quebec, Toronto. Thats it! It is wrong to say Canada is cold. Canada is frigid! Six months of the year you will be in thick socks and boots, jackets and gloves. Streets are deserted. Dark even at 3:30pm because Sun will set at about 3pm. Everyone stays off the streets, so then loneliness sets in.

Those caught up in the ugliness of this drama are too dissapointed and ashamed to own up and say they wished they had stayed the fck out of this desolate land. If they dont cry, others dont know not to go in.

Canada needs to boost economy, it is using migration to uplift labor lifestyle for its citizens and also keep a high population of taxable earners.

AngelicBeing:
l am surprised to see this pictures online because we have so many decent shelters for the homeless in downtown Toronto like Scott Mission, Sojourn house, World vision, city of Toronto shelter, Salvation Army just to mention but a few, so why are they living in an open space like this in Mississauga, huh

all the shelters in GTA are full. No space

The only future plan most Nigerians have is to japa.
Even when they vote against their own interests, japa is their next option.

Those who dare tell them the truth are called enemies of progress. I won't be surprised that many of them sold their properties or borrowed money to end up in this IDP camp in Canada. As is always the case, once Nigerians know that any border is open, they will flock there until they mess up the whole system.

I wish them luck.

Oga, save your advice.

If Nigeria was working, nobody would leave this country. In short, it takes a lot of guts to leave one's own country in search of greener pastures. People didn't start relocating today, so your advice won't change a thing.

For your information, there are by far more Nigerians whose lives turned around for good because they relocated to the west than those who didn't make it there. What does that tell you?

Guess what, there are by far poorer people in Nigeria than comfortable people. In fact, NBS data shows that over 60% of Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty (133 million people out of 220 million people).

So, your advice amounts to nothing when your irresponsible government prefers to loot public wealth than improve the lots of its own people.

why una no go Rwanda... So cos Nigeria no de work means agent should swindle pple

NwaliE01:


I almost fell victim of this. I paid an agent to process Visa for me to Canada sometimes in 2022.
I paid part of my school fee and all his service charge to the tone of few millions. When I asked him some basic questions about accommodation, work and possible change in Visa status after my graduation. His answers weren't convincing and thanks to COVID that delayed the process.
One morning, i told him to keep the money that I wasn't interested.
God directed me to Australia without anyone's suggestion/input and I am so grateful that I made that choice.
MOST of this agents have never left the shores of Africa and they don't know what's happening outside the continent.
If you must leave the country, make sure you can answer the basic questions.

can u state the process you followed to move to Australia...

They say it's better to live in the streets in Canada than to live in a flat in Nigeria... For them, it is japa and never look back.. Clowns dem

Agents deceived many of them with you can convert visit visa to work visa package.

Just this morning, I had an argument with some group of people in one whatsapp group on this the same issue of "you can convert tourist visa to work visa"

Go home or get help from Nigeria community in canada. Black people need to fix their character and start loving each other. Those who have accommodation should assist the people that do not have.

Love yourselves before you start asking others to love you - Use your brain

Collapse all these mushroom religious denominations into one strong Nigerian religions just like the Jewish catholics. Build an effective system with it and use it as a tool to accomplish many things. We are many, smart, yet useless

Anyone with full residency in the abroad, aka citizenship or permanent residency, who buys a property in Nigeria does so strictly from an emotional point of view. There is no financial benefit whatsoever in buying a property in Nigeria. None whatsoever! For the sake of moving back to a black dominated country as one grows older, I say that Nigeria is not the only black dominated country in the world.

The Gods forbid I buy a property in Nigeria.

After helping and accommodating they fleece you and ruin your life!, Africans are horrible, always entitled and seeking to use you!, you might even be killed just for helping someone in need!

the assets one has in the abroad can be taken over by a divorce or govt policy ( see how the Russian oligarchs lost their usa and uk assets). Many buy in Nigeria to hide some of their wealth.

To me if one is considering retiring in Nigeria one small bungalow no go bad. When i see how much my parents and relatives spend on maintaining their house omo i just weak. Interlocking repairs, electrical repairs, generator servicing, leaking roof , leaking POP , painting , inverter battery replacement etc. with retirement funds haba

Don’t mind ediots that don’t know anything

Hmm... Let's start with cities: Ontario: Windsor, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Niagra Falls Quebec: Quebec City, Montreal Nova Scotia: Halifax --- This is just East Coast.

Winter (is fvcking cold, 100%) is Dec, Jan, Feb. -- Yes, sun goes down earlier, but not until 4:45/5:00pm and that's only Winter months. We have Daylight Savings Time (DST) -- In spring goes ahead 1 hr and in the fall goes back 1 hr. This is to maximize daylight. Further north you go the less light you get. All the cities in Ontario the streets are not deserted... we've got 24/7 stores everywhere... not sure where you got that.
Summer months it's light from 5:45am until 10:00pm (where I am).

Despite your opinion and misinformation you've gathered... there are plenty of high paying jobs. Your comparison of Nigeria vs Canada... if your country was so superior... why are you still using fossil fuel to get power? Why are people still walking to water stations to get water and it not being delivered directly to every home? Why is your internet run through wireless towers and not fiber optics direct to every home? If it was so superior you would have all this already. Not trying to be mean, but this is the truth. This is the reality. It's your government that has failed you.

Taxes... oi... yes... we are over taxed. 100% agree. 13% on all goods purchased. Taxed on your pay both Federal tax and Provincial tax. Property taxes and Fuel Taxes. These are all the main taxes you'll see. All these taxes go into developing infrastructure and our government actually does it, not pocket it for themselves.
Vehicle registration: You pay to get your licence to drive. You Pay for your licence plate. That's it.
Food taxes: ZERO (some categories of food are taxed ie; candy)

Hmmm na wa oh,

franchasofficia:
Canada is a small country with massive land mass. Canada's economy is not booming like that of US, UK, Germany, etc. Canada doesn't have enough skill jobs that is why they demand for so much including Canada experience and all that because if they have more than enough jobs like the states, UK, etc, their employers will waive some freaking requirements they ask from skilled migrants who spent a fortune to enter Canada via express entry, etc.



So please before you decide to relocate to Canada, bear in mind that it will take you some years to gather all the useless Canada experience and other requirements to secure a befitting skilled job in Canada.


People mistake Canada as paradise but unfortunately Canada is just another UK. You complain of income tax in UK, are you aware that consumer tax in some Canada province will make you broke despite what you earn? Imagine paying as much as 30% VAT on whatever you buy after collecting your so called salary or wage?



If you are young, have big financial dreams and want to succeed big financially through migration, please find way migrate to US legally. You are better off in Poland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium than in Canada.



Canada is overrated. There is no much economic activities going on there and most part have harsh weather condition.


The only good thing about Canada is easy route to PR if you entered legally, aside that, UK = Canada. In fact, UK is far better than Canada when it comes to ease of securing a job, you will secure a job faster in UK than in Canada that have a struggling economy. Ask yourself, what and what does Canada produce and export to the world? Canadian government is hyping Canada with so much fund to attract immigrants to come into Canada with huge money to help Canada economy grow in maybe 100 years from now.



Don't mistake Canada as a nation with booming economy and so many high paying skilled jobs, you will be disappointed.



Canadian government is trying to build Canada's economy by collecting money from skilled migrants and students, they are trying to replicate US DV lottery thinking it would build their country's economy but they cant because they dont have the intellects and technology experts to do what US did.




US is a magical, wonderful nation, the best country on earth. The country where you can pick money on the floor if you are ready to put in the work.
