How much can you pay? Because nothing concern love and hard work in this one 😏

oyetpel:


Scam is that you?
You see me talk about love? I am hardworking, just that currently the chance of getting in is limited. I earn well from airdrops (Zksync, Layerzero, Aethir e.t.c) go and read about them and other airdrops, I just didn't get up to my expectations from them, and waiting on Linea and scroll will still take a while.
Then it occurred to me that a closed mouth is a closed destiny (I have genuine people that reached out to me concerning airdrops and when i saw their genuineness and passion, i put them through), reason why I found courage to reach out here on Nairaland.
I know there are a lot of women that need a man in their life, and I know with my hard work I will be useful to her and we will have a good relationship and family.
Though I expected trolls concerning my post, but it's just fine.

fabiomatic:
in which province are you?

Deeegbee:


The economy is no longer the way it's used to be due to the influx immigrants mostly Students and SOWP but not as bad as what we have in Nigeria.

Few years ago in Canada, you can get up to 5 different jobs few weeks upon landing and start guessing which offer to accept.

Back then, I got a job in an American MNC FMCG even before landing, just 1 interview on MS Teams and I got the Offer.

affoncad:


The govt ignore the voice of wisdom and now it affecting everybody , an unplanned immigration is a failure to any economic and you can see yesterday byelection when the rulling party losing an election in is strong hold of over 30years is not a good sign!

The influx of immigrants serve a purpose. Let us ask ourselves, who are the greatest beneficiaries of this influx? Food, clothing and accommodation represent the bare necessities for anyone's survival. And there is arguable proof that by letting in the record number of immigrants, the economy is doing well.

Loblaw Companies (owner of grocery chains Real Canadian Superstore, Wholesale, Independent Grocer, Shoppers Drug Mart) reported a first-quarter 2024 revenue of $13.58 billion, a 4.5% increase from the previous year, and a quarterly profit of $459 million, a 9.8% increase.
During Dollarama’s latest quarterly conference call, CEO Neil Rossy called Canada’s growing population a “driver in the future.” The Montreal-based company sells a wide assortment of discount household essentials like knives, forks, pots and pans through more than 1,500 stores across Canada. BMO Capital Markets estimates nearly a third of Dollarama’s 2025 same-store sales growth will come from “elevated levels of immigration into Canada.”

And the Prime Minister was on record saying that they need the housing situation to stay that way to maintain the retirement nest egg of the older generation. Let me quote him - “Housing needs to retain its value,” Mr. Trudeau told The Globe and Mail’s City Space podcast. “It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg.”
The best way to maintain this value is to let in record number of immigrants.

Here is a quote from Maximilien Roy, VP of the industry lobby group Restaurant Canada "We need to have international students coming in. It's a key group working in the industry for us." Immigrants bring in money, no matter how small. They need bank accounts (RBC, CIBC, BMO, TD..), phone lines (Telus, Rogers...) etc.

So here are my two cents about this issue. Please note that these reflect my opinion and are not necessarily the objective truth.

1) The interest groups behind this record immigration are non partisan - if it were the Cons, the-same will happen. There is only one anti immigration party in Canada and I will not bother to name it.
https://www.fraserinstitute.org/studies/understanding-the-changing-ratio-of-working-age-canadians-to-seniors-and-its-consequences

2) Things have moved from the realm of what is proper/ethical/right. It is now about 'what favors me'. I will give an example of this. In the next 24hours the City of Saskatoon will vote whether to accept or reject the federal government Home Accelerator Funding - this is tailored towards building apartments along BRT routes. The question is, why would they even consider rejecting free money to build homes when the city is being plagued by historically low housing availability in the face of record influx?
There will be stiff opposition against accepting this from the FG. This stems from the fear of devaluation that comes from building apartment complex beside "these people's" 500k homes.

3) So I have moved to the realm of conspiracy theory now. You see, record immigration depresses wages. This is the blood stained claws of Capitalism. The employer prefer more people being available for the few available positions. The employer prefer 24/7 availability for a casual or temporary position - there are less responsibilities on the part of the employer to the employee with regards to a part time/casual position. These are only possible when there are more people.
In the face of rising inflation, it is intuitive for workers to demand for an increment in wages and working conditions. This is happening in various jurisdictions for unionized professions. But for those 'other jobs' (yes, you know the jobs I am referring to) na OYO o!

4) This situation is perfect for the movers and shakers of this country and if it were the Cons in power, the-same would have happened. The lobby groups finance the various political parties and it is perfectly legal. Yes, it's looking likely that the Libs will be kicked out but I doubt if things will change even with the new party.
My brother/sister, make we shine our eyes. Be ye wise as serpents and meek as doves.

250 a month?

walenden:


yes, 250 cad is almost 280k in naira . we currently paying almost 570k monthly as 500canadian dollars since 2 month now for my brother house rent ...Canada is not as rosy as it painted online by many blogger .my brother telling me many student in same category as work is currently hard. l do not understand how person will be send money from Nigeria to Canada to pay house rent!

futureenergy:

No matter how it is painted by bloggers, nobody ever painted that rent is $250 per month. In fact, 500 CAD/month is very very cheap around Toronto.
When they said you should have proof of fund, that's what they mean. How can you be lamenting sending money from Nigeria in just 2 months? What was his POF for? Anyway, it's very normal now for an international student to stay 6 months to 1 year in Canada without getting a job.
Best of luck!

Hello
@Megastu
@Ednut
And any other helpful contributors.
I’ve been able to get an apartment in Hamilton and will be moving to Canada next month. However, since I’ll like to make landing as soft as possible. I’ll like to ask if there’s a way I can start the furnishing of my apartment from outside Canada, such that I can arrive Canada to a finished or almost finished apartment.

toniro:


True! 500cad is near impossible there.
Hoping he has registered with agencies and online job sites for non- collar jobs or what some call survival jobs pending when corporate ones come in.

megastu:
500 is if you are sharing with another person. Join our accommodation group. The waiting queue has reduced drastically from around 80 people on queue to 25 or so.

Kcenyimbk:
Pls has anyone used airfrance of recent and paid excess baggage…
From Nigeria to Canada…
Who knows what the cost is?

Luckybelt:

Will be heading Alberta soon. Quite cheaper than Ontario

geekybabe:
Wide reach, but if anyone lives in London (ON), kindly reach out or send a PM. Looking to connect with more people around.
