It depends on how you look at it prospect wise $500 is 500000 now ... What are you going to do in Canada to start with. If you don't have a ready made Job , I do advice you to stay put ...but if you have a Job that balance your expense and savings ...then move .. 113 Likes 13 Shares |

All the best.

Do you have a means to still visit Canada? Yes or No. So here we go...howbeit the choice is yours. PoliteActivist: Wittyness. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

PoliteActivist:People in Canada have been complaining of high tax , high mortgage and all that but they are side jobs .. my advice is to tell your friend to apply and get you one of those jobs, so you can have some savings ..I know it's funny but trust me once your friend brings is madam home, you would be force to get your own accomodation.. so you really need money..in the time being before you make your decision, they are many tech jobs in Canada ..just use Indeed.com , LinkedIn and other portals and apply ... 35 Likes 6 Shares |

PoliteActivist:Stay in Nigeria. Nigeria is far better than Canada. No police harassment, no security issues, beautiful environment, Sane-educated and modern society, steady light, stronger currency value, good job security, free and advanced healthcare, better future for your unborn children, free quality eduction for your unborn children. Coupled with other advantages, if I were you, I'll prefer Nigeria with 500k salary than Canada..... coz am very sure that same tech company will not lay me off years to come and my salary will keep on increasing yearly with inflation.... au revoir passez une bonne journée 100 Likes 8 Shares |

PoliteActivist: How is it not possible? -Postpone the relocation. -Work the job for 2 months & show super skills. -Tender your resignation or let HR know you'll be relocating verbally. -Since its a tech role they will be the ones to suggest you remain with them in some capacity if you are good. 83 Likes 9 Shares |

PoliteActivist: First, when asking for advise- know the right demography to ask or keep the demography in mind when reviewing answers. If you ask an average person earning 30- 150k, they'd say stay back cos your average pay is like heaven to them. If you ask folks earning 500k - 1m, they'd see things differently cos 500k is not mind-blowing money for the right skill. You need to consider a number of things- mainly age, qualifications, flexibility and transferable skills. Also if your current job would permit remote working. If you were young with tech skills and a Canadian PR, I'd easily say move- 500k is peanuts to what you could potentially earn in Canada. The people shouting tax e.t.c are mainly folks who've not worked/lived elsewhere. In your case, your canada visa is a visit visa which would not allow you work legally. If this job has good prospects and exposure, then it could be a good stepping stone to bigger things locally or give you the right base to apply for remote tech jobs in Canada, a Canadian masters or PR. You always have the option of visiting Canada later. Details given are rather sketchy with many important variables unclear. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

PoliteActivist:Sure, let's paint Canada with the most negative brush based on the experience of someone on Student Visa... You are referencing someone that's on student visa, Yet to have the Canadian education certificate to take on skilled work and supposed to be working 20 hours per week... With what that person wrote, he's doing more than 40 hours per week and probably receiving below minimum wage coz he's doing under the table Job so it doesn’t reflect on his work history? With that same work he's doing without any education or work experience requirement, he will still be able to pay his house rent, school fees, and food.... Yet, the ungrateful soul is complaining... why didn't he come back to Nigeria and be working in sumal or Yale. Let's see which one is stressful with better pay... Immigration for student anywhere in the world clearly says, pay your full tuition fee or have means to make your payment from your home country business or sponsor and also have one year living expenses.. But everyone will lie there way with fake POF and start ranting when reality of there criminal act dawn on them... In UK, they will complain, in Australia, they will complain, in Canada, they will complain, in US, they will complain, like goverment is supposed to leave citizen and PR holders and provide for student ? As a student, you are meant to come with enough funds, many will go empty handed and start hustling for everything down to toothbrush. The worst ones are those on visiting visa. As in, why the fvck will you come to a new country with the mindset of working when immigration policy clearly says no... Travel Agents will lie to them, They will come, become homeless, and start blaming the Canadian goverment... In summary, kindly focus on the complain of a citizen or pr holder of a country and kindly ignore that of any student.... 17 Likes 1 Share |
