Fantastic point.

I live in Germany and I will move to Canada before the end of the year. I am an early career professional. This question must be answered in relation to you, as a migrant, black and African. It has nothing to do with economy. You can live in the best economy in the world and still be poverty-ridden depending on the platforms and opportunities available to you as an individual. Germany is a shithole for black highly skilled professionals, so much institutional racism and stereotyping. You are cannot rise to the peak. As long as you are black, you will have to keep defending your right to live in the country. What about raising black children? Why are most black children pushed into menial and production jobs in Germany? I won't even talk much, if you know, you know. If you are non-ambitious and want to take advantage of their refugee provisions, Germany is best. If you are a professional and want to secure your residency while preserving your respect and dignity as an individual, Canada is best.

Some mention Americans moving to Germany than Canada as proof. See ehn, it is when you live in Germany, you will understand that black African and black American are never the same. Germans worship "native English speakers". As a Nigerian, are you one? Where will you ever belong? No matter how much you learn German and speak it well, you will always be referred to as an "Auslander", even when you carry a German passport. i am not saying Canada is paradise, there is racism everywhere, but in terms of prospects, opportunities, respect and belonging as a black, immigrant, African Professional, Canada is far better. But to each, his/her own.

Every country has its preference for certain group of people regardless of their citizenship status. Many non Europeans who moved to Canada are equally complaining of Europeans having better advantage over them too in Canada. the way Germans prefer native English speaker so also, Canada prefers Europeans. Racism is equally there against black in Canada. Wages in Canada are low. Infact, some Indians complained that their take home in Indian was higher than what they are earning in Canada. Higher costing of living and being world permafrost zone, social life is almost zero. loneliness is second to none. Imagine, someone advising you not to come Canada alone! Being close to nobody except USA, who only thinks about them when there a serious crime. Blowing away 15000$ in securing Canada PR and being welcome with scorn faces becasue the PR is a government programm and not its citizens. Please go to Quora forum and learn more. Neither Germany nor Canada is blemish free. Summing both the negtives and postives of both Germany and Canada, I think Germany is still better off. In my opinion, Australia is the best English country to migrate..............
