Any so called professional who packs up and moves to any foreign country in search of a job is not smart at all. If you already have a job here, the best option is to apply for a job abroad while you're still in the country and if you're lucky enough to get one, then you use your offer of employment to apply for a working visa which in such a case is almost 100% assured as having a job shows that you won't become a liability to the welfare state. This way, you know what you're doing before leaving the country. You can't just quit your job, travel to a foreign land and expect to pick jobs off the floor. That's the height of delusion. There are born and bred Canadian citizens also in need of jobs so how you expect to get there and bag a good one makes no sense

Thank you, you read and understood the woman's message. My friend did just that but not Canada. He secured the job first, he then used that to process his visa.

Then, I read about different professionals including a professor from different countries who applied under Canadian skilled labour immigration scheme or whatever they called it, who upon arriving in Canada, couldn't get job in their field only for them to become an unskilled labour! The professor quit a lecturing job at the University in his country, moved to Canada with his family legally only for him to be told that he couldn't teach or lecture in their schools because he didn't have their educational certificates! They granted him visa based on his skilled, the man ended up regretting his actions because he didn't expect what he met on ground. If he had seen this kind of message before, he would have done a little research before leaving and not being carried away by the visa. He became a cab driver to survive and his family.
Many similar stories were shared by other professionals in different fields as well. I hope to get the link to that story.

The woman wasn't addressing people who are ready to take any job and many jobs as unskilled Labour. She was addressing professionals who will be rendered useless upon reaching the Canada in their respective careers. She was talking to people who already had a career and life.

bro, pls are u saying that you are enjoying the state of this nation. If she comes na she go use her hand run back. But am not saying it's not possible, if I hv a good paying job or business that's is allow to thrive, why will I want to go to Canada, well it is what it is, majority will go with me on this one

The last thing I will do is to advice anyone not to go, experience is the best teacher, even if you are not better off in Canada you will never know because the fake life in USA and Canada looks real for life. For me I will create my own little Canada here in Nigeria free of credit card debt, and unending bills.

It might seem like peanuts to you but $1300 a week in Canada after taxes is almost 7500 a month before taxes. Trust me you can live very well on this, especially if you have no debts.

And you are going to remain single forever

Thank you my sister.

The only people who should be travelling abroad are those who have nothing doing here.

But how can a 6-digit per month earner just decide to quit their job for a potential 'paradise' Isn't that first class folly

I am actually married, but she is still in Nigeria. I am in the process of sponsoring her to Canada, that's why I said I am alone here. But whether you say it's small or not, at least I am living well here and building an event center in Owerri. So I think I am just fine. When I get the paying job, then I get it.

Alakoba Post. Enemy of progress. After all she will get paid for writing this. She is the kind of person that encourage a master degree holder who lives in sango otta to consider a job of N20,000 per month in Ajah and says experience in the job is key

It is better to stay and fight. Men suffer more in CA. When the power changes hands.... And the system ensures that. So to men who are fighting tooth and nail to get your woman down there... Just note that you maybe ending your own life aspirations and dying before death comes... Definitely your life terminates and you start nursing the lives of your kids.


Eventually the mental effects starts manifesting...life is meaningless without dreams and aspirations.

you've spoken wisely!

The taste of the pudding is in the eating.

People like you prefer to learn from experience.

Otherwise, how can you ever believe that you stand a greater chance than an equally qualified Canadian citizen

there are not enuf canadians to do those work. So nigerians and indians hv to compliment

Everybody Want To Move To Canada Without Even Know Anything About The Country Talkless The Risks Therein. Yeah, Before You Migrate to Canada, Read What This Twitter Has To Say Concerning The Dangers You Will Face





Source: http://kunlexwap.ga/a-must-read-read-what-this-lady-has-to-say-concerning-the-dangers-you-will-face-in-canada.html

This is pure rubbish. Never get discouraged at relocating to anywhere of your choice. There could be discrimination, you could get low skills jobs at the beginning but i bet its worth it if you have kids cos they will be getting the best education and could in future get the best jobs any where in the world. Dont let anyone deter your dreams. Some make it some dont. As naija boy, if you are hardworking, you will make it. I used to do 3 jobs but today i do one and pay my bills. The first few years are quiet difficult but you can make it if you dont relent in your efforts. Where did Nigerians in diaspora see $22B they sent home last year? It's hard work and not discouragement. NEVER LET ANYONE DISCOURAGE YOU.

Nigeria is a country that has no moral com, everybody will cheat you at the slightest opportunity, a real Hobbesian state, weak institutions, weak laws, corruption and inpunity, EKEDC cut my light at lawanson and still came wit a ridiculous bill and another disconnection notice.. anything and everything goes.. my agent withheld my deposit for another flat, I can’t find redress except I do it in the jungle way(bribe some uniformed men and roughen the criminal up). Yahoo boys and thieving politicians are celebrated, lecturers go after female students and demand for bribe, pastors and Imams spend the congregants contribution, civil servants won’t serve you until you part with money, Perennial fuel scarcity at Yuletide, our political system is a joke and our votes don’t count. I can’t and I will not raise my children in this geographical entity. I am a Canadian PR and I bless the Canadian govt for giving me a chance to find my way in a system that works. Nigeria stinks while less than 2% of the population live in luxury.

everybody can't be poor like u na?..I make far more than that as a business man...poverty mentality everywhere

Sorry, I didn't know you make up to 1m everymonth...

Is your destiny manual laborer work? See graduates doing Uber, security, washing plate, washing people's yanch and you call that destiny fulfilment? O boy, you de fall hand sha

Some graduate are looking for that kind of work in Nigeria and still never get. The bottom line is survival. If I do such work abroad and earn a pay than someone sitting down in a posh office in Nigeria claiming manager why won't I? The bottom line is who will be able to live a more comfortable life and also smiling to the bank.

But I learnt they don't recognise degrees and work experience acquired outside Canada? Is it true or just to discourage one

if a ship berth in Lagos today with "Canadian slave ship" boldly written on it, people will still enter and follow it to canada

peacengine:


This is a lie bro.

Assuming they get will they be paid as much as they'll be paid abroad. Have you seen a security guard earning 100k per month?

yeyerolling:
I have worked in 2 big four audit firms, my ex colleagues who have gone to canada no spend up to a month, before the likes of pwc,kpmg,delliote too them. This woman is nothing bt a mumu. My cousin in saskatchewan is on over 180k canadian dollars per year as a doctor bt in nigeria he was poorly paid. Destination canada abeg

NO mind the mumu woman. Na those who didn't make it and is trying to discourage others. When I was in Naija as a graduate, guys, I no see garri sef to drink.. now in the USA bros I dey work dey see my money, they pay bills both here and in Naija.. All Legit.. Na just God..

SalamRushdie:


Fear that your doctor friend

But it's true!

Doctors in Quebec just last month complained about being overpaid. They said the government should consider increasing the pay of nurses and other health sector staff instead.

Bro coach me - interested in following your path ( the heavy equipment way)

Riversides2003:


But really a doctor that makes $180k a year in Canada is a failure. Am not a medical doctor nor Engineer but I make close to that amount operating heavy equipments. Have seen Nigerian Doctors that makes upward of $500 here in Fort McMurray easily.

Enough
And you think you stand a better chance than Americans, Europeans and even Indians

No go spoil sand sand for people garri, why na only u dey complain sef??

Na people like u wey be say, even if dem put you for heaven, you go still misyan about hardlife.

My friends that went to Canada are doing fine.
