Makanaki1991:
Can we please wrap this up. You both have dissected some issues which you both have addresses again.

I appreciate your efforts.

My question is this: even though I am going to have a challenging application after the ban, I need schools in small town who will accept my application easily.

I come from the line of construction but work under both Facility management and Project management now. ßo I need courses in relation to both fields.

Thank you as hear from my tutors

One way to navigate life in Canada is to come prepared with your tuition fees and living expenses. Do not rely solely on working to cover these costs, as many students struggle to find jobs for months. Additionally, studying in Canada does not guarantee permanent residency (PR), despite the significant amount spent on education including loans. Many students regret coming to Canada via the study route but feel trapped due to shame or having nothing left at home after selling their property. To avoid such a situation, choose your course, province, and school wisely, considering the system's current needs, and plan carefully to prevent ending up in a difficult position!

I understand you here... just the point that lady was saying is that if a person had to reveal his or her messed up detail..... even if we will condemn the act we can do it with more humane face so that people will be encouraged to open up next time. I observe you were handling it so cool until some of our comments reveal the gravity of the scenerio you now made that comments...Notwiststanding....lets remember that if people dont share their story out of fear of condemnation there will be nothing for us to remark on for others to learn from. You are doing well bro in terms of enlightenment I must confess about Canada so no one can dispute that facts.

Hello house,

I just graduated with a third class in Geography. I want to pursue a higher degree and Canada is my first choice (not the only choice). My ideal view is a switch to tech, maybe a post-graduate diploma in computer science, but I wouldn't mind sticking to anything Geography.

I want to know what my chances are with getting admission and what schools should I explore?

Firstly, check courses related to construction under the trade category that are eligible for PGWP, then check colleges in the Atlantic provinces, or if you have the qualifications you can go for Masters, just use the course you want to study to search then from there narrow your focus.

Better use your savings to improve yourself in Nigeria.
Canada is dead bro, you go suffer tire go back house empty handed. You're moving years behind coming down here and it's going to take you a decade or more to get yourself back on your feet.
Canada is not what it used to be, it can be mistaken for Delhi or Mumbai now.
Nigerians are suffering terribly in that big for nothing country.
Except you have a very strong support back home, avoid that useless country.

Makanaki1991:
Thank God my people in Canada are not like yours.

They are flourishing which gave me a huge relief when it's time to do my application. Hold on to your words as they might not be necessary for the serious minded here.

Thank you, Canada is watching.

Keep lying to yourself.
People have been here for almost 1 year and can't get a stable job. We know some of you guys here work with these diploma colleges to deceive Nigerians.
Nigerians are suffering in Canada and this is fact,some are staying back because of the shame while others can't even afford a ticket back home.
40 percent of people who moved to Canada in the last two years went back home or moved to a different country from there.

Baba, calm down. Not everyone is suffering like you. Yes, things are difficult, but it’s not that bad.

Last year, even though I was laid off, I still made (working two IT jobs) $211,120 even tho I was taxed crazy and bought my second house.

Don’t discourage people from coming; instead, inform them about the challenges of moving and the realities of migrating to Canada in 2025.

Yes, PR will be difficult.
Yes, finding a job will be tough.
Yes, the taxes are high.

But it’s always best to immigrate with a skill and do so legally.

odilibe:

I guess you will be taxed upto 72,000 canadian dollars plus other deductions.

amnotapervert:


When I advise people to migrate with in-demand, universal skills, they say I talk too much, lack emotional care, and come across as condescending.

Please share a reference for your claim about '40%.’ Don’t throw out figures and numbers without proper sources.

Don’t let anyone discourage you from moving abroad (Canada).

It’s going to be hard, but remember the reward: that sweet blue passport. As a Canadian citizen, you’ll have global opportunities,

including the ability to work in the USA on a TN visa at the USA POE

Also Canadian citizen can work in the UK for up to three years with a Youth Mobility Scheme Visa and you are given the Visa without a Job. I am sure alot of people don't know this.

And with that you can get a company that will sponsor you and the rest is history if Canada isn't working for you

Socialized ( free) health care 😩
Yes, the healthcare system has its issues, but it’s still better than where you’re coming from.

And there’s so much more to look forward to

I can list but they will say I write too much 👀😜😜

It’s hard, but it’s worth it. Nothing good comes easy.

Badadvisor:

Keep lying to yourself. You all are making this money and living in shared room lol.
Reality on ground is different from online.
Anyone wasting 30 million plus to go to Canada is setting himself 5 years behind. When you decide to come back to Nigeria after 15 years of fooling you'd see all your mates are way ahead of you already.
Empty overrated country.

Makanaki1991:
Don't tell me this is the same Bobomaigida I have known since 2021.

Wow.

God bless you brother for staying on this platform. Many have left. I can't see Frankrobbn1 again. Hoping to see more ancient gurus here again.

Anything about Teemenzo?

No country is perfect, but you will find yourself frustrated if you don't have a plan

I speak against traveling abroad without a solid plan page 508 https://www.nairaland.com/7776621/canadian-student-visa-thread-part/507#130768774

I don't live in a shared room; I have two houses.

- My personal house was purchased in 2023.
- My investment property, co-owned with my sister, was acquired in 2022. This property is close to Centennial College in Scarborough.

Badadvisor If you're looking for a place to rent, I’m renting out the investment property. 😜😜😜😜
A room is about $1300 all included 😂😂😂

Yes, things are difficult. I lost my job in December last year due to a new CEO fu🍁king everyone.

However, because I have in-demand tech skills, I secured another job in February with a base salary of $110k and My wife earns $98k annually.

If anyone thinks my peers are ahead of me, that's fine. It's a public forum, and I prefer not to share everything about my personal life.

But for those reading this, please ensure you leave Nigeria with a skill. You won’t regret it, and you won’t end up complaining like this guy.

For example, my plumber was a chartered accountant in Nigeria.

After moving to Canada, he obtained a plumbing license. Today, he lives in Whitby in a $1.3 million house and yes, he's Nigerian. The House appreciated invalue.


Don't listen to people that are frustrated 🥴🥴

Yes come to Canada with a skill in demand

Yes come to Canada as a student making sure

your sponsor will pay your fees in full. (Again you can't work to pay school fees)

Come to Canada with your $20,000 up keep money that's minus your school fees.

It will be hard but if you have an in-demand skill you will pass on

Don't let him deceived you under 5 to 7 years you can get your Blue passport and leave if it's not working out. I have mine and it's still working for me

Canada is bad now yes but if a Nigerian migrated to Canada and they can’t make it work there then poverty is really their fate.

Copied. Bro abeg I love to connect with you on LinkedIn. I will send you a mail now. You are really an inspiration to us.

Deeegbee:


No need wasting your time explaining things to him.

I checked his profile and found he is still a student who landed less than 8 months ago still struggling to find a job in Ontario, the reason for his lamentations.

I hope and pray his status changes from being a Student to PR/Citizen and lets see what type of song he would sing later on.

amnotapervert:


Thanks but I will keep my self anonymous

My village people never know say I done buy car for Canada talkless of house 😜😜

Make I no cast

amnotapervert:




I pray for the best for him, but even with citizenship, if he doesn’t have the right skills, he will still be renting a room in a house for a very, very long time.

He can’t rent mine because it’s above his earnings. 🤣🤣

But on a serious note, Badadvisor, please, if you’re truly still in school, focus on finishing your studies. Before you graduate, make sure you look into acquiring tech skills such as:
- Project management (software side of it)
- Business analyst
- Product owner
- Cloud computing or DevOps
- Data analysis
- even hand work ( electrician plumber etc ) is better if you can be certified

You can’t learn programming that quickly, but over time, with good experience, you can move into consulting.

My brother, when you get to that level, you’ll look back at this post and laugh because you’ll be happy you invested in yourself and started making good money.

My mentor works as a consultant for the Edmonton Police Service as a senior database specialist. He was paid $120 an hour for a four-year project where they migrated from on-premises to the cloud using a hybrid data model

He wasn’t under a T4 but was incorporated, so he was taxed at a lower rate than T4 employees.

During COVID, he worked two jobs
—one paying $120 an hour
—and managed to pay off one of his two houses in Canada in cash.

Get a skill, or you’ll suffer

Jeboy:
Even the construction and health part of project management sells very well from my research on Indeed, LinkedIn and Glassdoor. To really thrive in Canada, you need in-demand skills.
