Firgemachar:Honestly it baffles me. Nigerians just think that abroad is automatically better. Honestly if you're not working a job that pays 2,000 pounds or dollars plus a month, you'll litterally have little to nothing to enjoy after paying tax, rent, bills, buying fuel and car insurance if you drive and if you don't, public transport fares. Life isn't easy anywhere 4 Likes |

fairfora: You are talking about your friend who was making it here in Nigeria. What of other people who doesn't have hope of getting that bank job here in Nigeria as it is now. You mean if they get the opportunity they should not leave. That Lady up there is complaining not getting a proper job after three months off arrival because she had proper job here before leaving. An average Nigerian youth doesn't have hope in this country. If have the opportunity please leave, do improper job, upgrade yourself and getting the proper job will be easy. 9 Likes |

Nigeria is a failed state, even those acting patriotic know the truth. Canada is the way forward for anyone who really wants to live and Nigeria is for people who think that they are actually living when they are merely existing. I am very sure that people who are saying Nigeria is a fertile ground have never lived abroad for at least 2 years, if they had, they will understand why Nigerians travel abroad and never want to come back. Even Pamela that is tweeting all that garbage will prefer 'suffering' there to untold riches in Nigeria. I have tasted both worlds and I can confidently tell you that Nigeria is in a coma with no signs of gaining consciousness anytime soon. Pamela is just a failed detractor 3 Likes 1 Share |

Trustme2: Pure lies. I have engineering degree but working in a financial institution. The only thing i noticed is they may consider their citizen ahead of you. US and Canada really need skilled workers. With your degree and relevant certification, you can get jobs. 1 Like |

Exactly. When my sister and her husband landed, thier earnings were below $45k a year cos they were new. The government paid her $500 for each of her children and she has 4. She didn't need any daycare cos my mum was helping out to look after them. This was in 2016. In 2017, my sister and her husband had a combined earning of $121,000. My sister used to work as an accountant in Nigeria but she is working as a social worker here. Her husband was also a contract Staff in Shell earning 400,000 naira in Nigeria. He is here working as a mechanic earning about than 3 times his pay in Nigeria. Government doesn't pay for their kids anymore cos thier household earnings is now greater than $70k.Nigerians here find ways to spend way less on expenses than people think. Trust, if you work hard here, you will succeed. Trustme2: 8 Likes 3 Shares |

I am not an advocate for leaving a comfortable life in Nigeria and coming here to Canada, it's a matter of choice. Assuming I was working as a full staff in Shell, I would not even consider leaving. Imagine working in a multinational, you do all the work, write all the reports and somebody else takes the glory and uses it for thier promotion, just because you are a contract Staff and they are full staff it's disheartening. And then your boss tells you that it is easier to employ a new person as a full staff than to convert you from a contract Staff to full staff when you are the one that knows all the stuff. My pay was 400k naira a month in Shell without any benefits and a fresh graduate who is a full staff that I am showing the ropes is been paid 1.3 million naira and getting all the benefits. It's not really a good feeling. So I am happy being in Canada earning a good pay, and funny enough the company I work as a security guard has also promised me a job as a Network security engineer when I am done with my masters degree. This is the kind of hope you get here. The secret is simple, no matter the job you are doing here, work as though there is no God and pray as though there is only God. 21 Likes 2 Shares |

This is Pamela's point of view or experience. Incidentally, experiences are peculiar and not universal in nature. Haven said that, What Pamela has said is true but not necessarily the truth. I live in Canada and work professionally in my line of career. This took me a year but after 2years of doing this consistently, it think it is REALLY worth it and would not have been able to achieve same in Nigeria. I also know a lot of Nigerian professionals excelling in various careers across industries such as Aerospace, Technology, Teaching, Healthcare and so on. Getting into a desired career in Canada might take time but you must desire it and be willing to put in the work and compete daily with other professionals. Are you surprised? Nobody can guarantee you a date but it's sure achievable. I see people who excel and I see people who don't and they complain (Take them back to Nigeria, they will still complain) I don't know what version of Canada Pamela as experienced but for me, I WILL DO IT AGAIN. 15 Likes 1 Share |

Shalomc: When I was abroad, it was for studies. No one just hops into a plane without a destination in mind or a purpose. Visas are given based on reason. |

Shalomc:Unless you're a citizen, have a working visa or are a permanent resident, you're really not entitled to support from the government tbh. Its all well and good going there to struggle if you have absolutely nothing going for you in Nigeria but if you have a job, it would be dumb of you to quit it to move there. Trust me. |
Re: Before You Travel To Canada: The Dangers Therein by Shalomc(f): 9:26pm On May 07, 2018 |
trustyshoess:I agree. Several times I have asked myself for what purpose will I leave Nigeria to go and hustle without defined parameters in a foreign land. |

Ejadike: Use WES to evaluate your HND degree and then you can apply for admission for Masters. To get more information about WES evaluation, search via Google & the USA student visa thread in nairaland etc etc |
