But they will never tell you . Making it look like Canada is heaven lol.
That's Nigerians for you
I know a consultant Hematologist (medical doctor) who couldn't cope with the cost of living in Canada, infact he couldn't practice his profession and he became frustrated. He left but his wife refused leaving, so they divorced. The man remarried after he came back to Nigeria and he's really doing so great and happy.

ednut1:
people are making 200k to 300k doing two remote jobs like you said. Op should come back first lol

apolonius:


I just wanted to say the op is stupid and move on. But your wise comment will make me drop a sentence of two to puncture the OP’s generalizations.

The op is leaning on their narrow experience and limitations to make generalizations. I lived in the UK for many years-studied to the highest levels before moving to Canada. Canada is a million miles apart.

People talk about the US without talking about the costs of healthcare, childcare and all.

I bought a home around Toronto within 2 years of moving to Canada. I lived in a box room in the UK for 11 years!

I am a prime professional who practiced in firms before setting up mine.

I know bankers who left Naija towards the end of last year who are holding down 2-3 jobs (enabled by the pandemic’s remote work) and making 20-30k monthly. I mean these are close friends.

While the traditional professions have rigid licensing processes in every country to test for determination, it is normal. When we went to Nigeria for the law school, even professors of law and accomplished lawyers from the US, UK, Canada et al, had to do Bar 1 with us. They did and some are accomplished politicians and lawyers in Nigeria today.

I know 2 SANs who did their accreditation and bar exams, and are now doing Articling in Toronto. It’s normal.

Yes, doctors like lawyers and all do same too. You either want it enough to soldier through or you stay in your comfort zone. If you push through, the rewards are huge. I have many lawyer colleagues making over $130k and some are immigration panel members (judges) within 2-3 years. I know 2 very close Nigerian professors of law in Canadian universities , they came in as students, who make over $300k.

Canada is today’s heaven. Lazy and unfocused people will promote harsh relativism as the general experience. But it’s crap!

If you come to Canada legally and have your PR, you can settle in 1-2 years and do great. Of course, lawyers and doctors may face a slower transition, but it’s worth it.

Bankers, IT professionals, business analysts among others should get great jobs within 2-4 months, if properly guided, and earn between $70-120k. I have seen tens of close friends go through it and doing great!

As per loneliness, it’s demand and supply. More black/Naija women who are single crowd the Naija community populated by men who largely have families before leaving Nigeria. Yes, professional Naija men are almost always married few years after university. If they use potential husbands to play boyfriend koso, who they go blame? Naija ladies can go back home and find their kind. It’s easier than deluding themselves that they will find Oyibo men here. Those who go home to look for husbands and lovers do find!

Anyway, I rest my purposeful bile at the nonsense morons share here about Canada and politics. Naija youths should get properly enlightened!

NoFucksToGive:

You cap too much nonsense just for likes... No one sent you to Canada nor did anyone ask you for this trash.

Should we open a thread about why Nigerians are fleeing to Canada?

All these servants of Saboteurs disgusting as advisers .

1.Is making wealth in Nigeria easy ? No! Only through politics or crime is the only way for someone without connection to make it in Nigeria

2. Cost of living in Nigeria is too fvcking high! Just ask anyone

3. Loneliness? Misery loves company that's why Nigerians flock around you in Nigeria

4. Cold... Give me cold over mosquitoes biting me while I slap myself at night while trying to kill them

5. Getting professional jobs ... E still better pass Nigeria 1 million times over and over..

See guys and girls becareful what you read or whom you take seriously. Some people are servants of Satan sent to misguide you .

This is how the Federal government wants to prevent brain drain ? Instead of ADDRESSING why all the doctors lawyers engineers and professionals are running abroad they are employing quacks to come online and type shit.


Run from such people

To wipe this OP USB cord for neck just dey hungry me!

Although the op na my friend i will tackle her.

1. Ednut my personal person all the way from Canada EE group. You have shed more light on Whizqueen post.
The truth is that, is not favorable for a single partner in Canada but more beneficial to couples. Canada is a good place to start & once u have your citizenship, it will open doors to many opportunities.

Th

Bossmanmoves:



Calm down, she just shared what she has experienced. That shouldn't stop you from going.
She is letting you know what to expect.
Of course Canada is better than Nigeria, she's telling you it's not all goodie goodie over there

FreeStuffsNG:
They are perpetual migrants looking for what is not lost. There is no gold rush anywhere. From Qatar to EU to Cyprus to Italy to SA to Ghana to Ukraine to US to UK and now to Canada, the japa crew are now officially 'one chance' victims. Some could actually have been better in Nigeria but they never learn. Their ears are blocked.

Some crossed over and their first task was cursing Nigeria and talking down on Nigeria. Those ones are the ones Nigeria, the land where their placenta was buried, cursed back physically and spiritually. Sadly, those ones are irredeemable.

They exaggerated the challenges they faced here and some actually quitted certainty for uncertainty before reality hit them hard , unlike the prodigal son, it became too late for them to turn back and return home because of shame, regret and what those they left behind who had overtaken them in life will say.

Andrew a.ka. Mr Japa, you better repent, start blessing Nigeria so it can reverse its curses on you and come back home to start afresh before you end up in life like a snake that never leaves mark on a rock.

1. There are people building wealth in cheaper provinces like Alberta or New Brunswick where houses go for 300k to 400k. In Ontario its like 900k to 1.5m for the average house and you suppose drop 5% deposit for mortgage. Married people or common law guys are able to build wealth too due to combined income. Solution is move to a cheaper province, get married or find a partner.
2 . Cost of living- where in the world is not costly. With all the amenities, free resources, and standard of living why should it be cheap There are many people earning 3700 dols a month but staying in apartments costing 2200 dols. Is that not madness. Some are one 2500 a month but their rent is 1800 lol
3 . Boredom and loneliness- Nigerians move to a cold country and refuse to do what whites do in the winter. Whose fault is that Many ladies from Nigeria have unrealistic expectations and are single to stupor. Whose fault is that Lol
4 cold. Get a good winter jacket or knacks partner. Nothing dey there
5. Professional jobs- doctors know this before coming and should have explored uk. A friend passed the medical exams in 18months its doable. Yes there are issues with Canada experience but with constant applications and upgrading ones skills. You will be able to get in. You and i both know many people with only Nigerians experience or degrees balling in big companies

Oya come back home o.

I know people especially tech who moved to usa after getting their Canada citizenship. More money is involved and passport privileges too don set. The Canadian passport opens doors to better countries

DMerciful:
Canada has good health care system so your life expectancy automatically increase once you relocate here. They have one of the best road networks and regulations making accidents minimal, they pay child benefits, it's a very peaceful country so you have peace of mind, no police harassment, beautiful places to visit, beautiful sceneries, once you're home you don't get a call from work. Prostitution is also illegal as Canada is family oriented. As a permanent resident of Canada, you can become a citizen in 3yrs! and can go to US as you like! Canada is priceless!

Come to British Columbia, it's not that cold.

whizqueen:


Go on the internet and read about how Canadians even white people rant about how tough it is to live here. Just take a stroll to YouTube and see all the comments on my video affirming all these things. Wake up to reality hun!

Acidosis:


Let's be realistic when we market this "free health care" as a basis for Nigerians to move to certain countries.

I know people who haven't used a single tablet in 10 years despite the harsh environment in Nigeria. I don't think the typical Nigerian hustler cares about all that.

Frustration sets in when the expectation (money) does not match the reality. For example, the average Nigerian is not used to paying taxes. Many circumvent electricity bill, etc. so they get really frustrated when they realize that 20-30% of the money they worked for goes to an healthcare system (they probably wouldn't use).

I believe an individual should try and attain a certain level of comfort before relocating on the basis of free or standard healthcare. What some people need is good money. These are people who haven't been to a hospital for any major treatment in 15 years. All they need is a good job, money, and more money.

pinkygurl:


Wipe the demonic OP USB cord already.Serious servant of Satan vibes OP is giving.last time l checked OP herself is a product of the brain drain, worked as a professional accountant for sometime in naija before JAPA-ing to Canada.
Imagine the nerves, sitting comfortably in her apartment in Canada with 24hours electricity to record and type message discouraging others from JAPA-ING and securing a better life for unborn kids.
If she tired she can pack her stuff and return to naija already. wicked devilish detractor subtly discouraging other from JAPA-ING while refusing to come back from the japa and working her way up to getting Canadian passport in few years time in Addy to naija passport.

Angelfrost:


God bless you.

I never see this kind thing... They will discourage people from now till eternity, but they have absolutely no plan to relocate from that "Hell" they preach against.

Before person decides to leave Naija for good, isn't it obvious the person has done it all and failed in this backwater nation?!!

Canada is not meant to be heaven, neither is U.S, UK, Dubai, or any nation on Earth!

Are Nigerians supposed to enter any nation and start wallowing in wealth?!! Where in the world does that happen except you are a drug lord?!!


Y'all should quit trying to deprive your fellow citizens from enjoying or "suffering" that thing over there which has made you refuse to return back to this Nigeria.
