Hello bro! Need to ask you a question pls.
Could you give an insights into how a person with Economics graduate degree from Canada can switch to high paying oilfield jobs? Like what would be the easiest pathway?

This question is too broad. Are you currently in Canada? Did you get your PR yet or you're in the process ? what's your definition of a high paying job ? And what do you mean switch too ? You don't even need a degree to get a high paying oilfield job. Honestly your question is too broad.

Good news guys, my permanent residency card just arrived in the mail. grin

Happiness is too mild an adjective to describe how I feel right now,



Do you know what this entails?

This means the level of success I would attain in this country is directly proportional to the level of hardwork I put in. Nothing can dampen my enthusiasm for life at this moment. The sky is not just my limit, it's my stepping stone. cool

Congratulation bro, so so happy for you.

With regard to Asylum, Nigerian homosexuals could qualify for it. The Nigerian citizen in question would have to show that he/she would suffer persecution due to their sexual preference, back in Nigeria.

"Asylum may not be granted to an alien unless the Secretary of Homeland Security or the Attorney General determines that the alien is a refugee who is outside any country of such person's nationality, or in case of a person having no nationality, is outside any country in which such person last habitually resided, and who is unable or unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of, that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion." - 8 U.S.C. 1158

Please post an unrefutable proof that any Nigerian has successfully qualified for this.

Thanks.

In that case, the Nigerian man successfully argued his case for seeking asylum in the US due to persecution he suffered for being a Christian in north-eastern Nigeria

Homosexuality and religious persecution are not the same thing.

On the surface, they are not the same thing. But the underlying legal principle or holding is that an immigrant can be granted asylum if he/she shows that he will suffer persecution due to his religion, sexual orientation, creed etc.

Not in my city, but many cities now offer citywide free WiFi.

Naija which was forward? When?

Hope the cold weather didn't affect you too much. If you ever make it out to the West Coast, my Wife and I are near Los Angeles.

Yes! Am Currently in Canada about rounding up my Masters degree program...Will be starting my PR processing later in the year...I meant like jobs paying about $72k-$100k...Exactly what I want to know is how I can go about it terms of certifications and red seal required to work in such field...

First of all congrats on the verge of getting your PR. But just an advice. JUST FOCUS ON OFFICIALLY GETTING YOUR PR. Once you get it then we can go from there. You're trying to run before crawling, that's very dangerous when dealing with immigration issues. But I still need more info. Is it a provincial sponsor PR where you'll have to stay in that province (state) for x amount of years ? If so cool down and do your time. If not, you can always message me. 72-100k per year up here in the oilfields is chump change. Cleaners who are illierate get that. I can always direct you to job postings. All you have to do is get certain oilsand safety certificate which takes a day. Take a look at the link below. One of the Ghana lady I know on site who's like 50 years old, said if you join this union, you'll be set as they'll post up up north on camp. All she does is throw out the garbage and put the plates in the dish washer. She literally does nothing as I always see her sitting down and watching TV. She clears/takes home 6k dollars every month after tax without overtime. The link also shows you the certificates you need.


On a side note stop being selfish. Why don't you explain to the people how your experience has been since coming to Canada and being on the verge of getting your PR. Is the government immigrant friendly like they've been advertising ? Do you think you made a good decision coming to Canada oppose to US/UK, etc. Talk to us.
