debbiejosh: All seniors in the house pls kindly help to look at this questions. Am getting my 2 year working visa any moment now. I don't really have any province in mind. And I hope to start processing PR once I get over to Canada. As regard to jobs which province do you advice I stay. I studied electrical and electronics engineering (hnd). About 8 years working experience as an electrical technician. |

keleto: Distribution is my specialty...your Electrical technician is in what exactly...? high voltage, industrial or low voltage e.t.c .. 2 years work visa.. ![]() Also...your qualifications wont likely be recognized. To scale this hurdle, you would have to write evaluation exams and provide proof that you actually performed what you claimed on your resume or return to school. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

^^^ So Nigerians now qualify for the Working Holiday Visa? Have you done your own research without swallowing what the agent is telling you hook, line and sinker? 1.2M? Last I checked (which was 2 minutes ago), Nigerian passport holders didn't qualify for that category of visa. Attached are the countries that qualify. 11 Likes

SlowlybtSurely: I have actually seen your attached. Though I personally stated '' WORKING HOLIDAY VISA''. But I was told is a 2 year work visa. So I don't know the difference between the WORKING HOLIDAY VISA, and 2 YEAR WORK VIS A. Is there no other temporary visa aside, STUDY, TOURIST, VISIT VISA? Pls clarify me. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by SlowlybtSurely: 11:02am On Apr 28, 2017 |
keleto: From my understanding, a working holiday visa is like an open permit. Valid for two years and you don't need to get a job before hand. You get a job on landing and can change jobs as desired, as well as holiday. While the Working visa is also a two year visa sponsored by an employer. This means you would have to get a job in Canada first, then get sponsored by that employer. This is very difficult because the employer would have to prove that they didn't get a Canadian citizen or permanent resident qualified for the job. How possible is that? With the skill set moving in droves to Canada everyday? I have seen just one Nigerian who qualified cos she sought for employment in a very rural setting as a Nurse. Bottom line, ask your agent how far? How does she intend to manufacture a visa that you donot qualify for? Before you part with that 1M, please make sure you confirm whatever visa she gives you with the CIC. If it is fake and you travel with it, you will be returned from point of entry with a possible long ban. I've seen this happen to someone. As for the bolded: Yes, those are the types of visas available to Nigerians other than family sponsorship. Also, the live-in nanny program. There might be some more, but these are the ones I can remember now. Good luck. 13 Likes |

keleto:yours and mine are almost the same...an agent said he will get a 2year Canadian work permit visa for me...Although I have not make any payment; he said is when the visa is out and confirmed...but I got to pay the mandatory visa application fee...my question is: does anything like 2year Canadian visa exist? |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford: 4:00pm On Apr 28, 2017 |
keleto:Your experience fits the profile of a technician. Do you have a journeyman certificate? if you dont have...you should still be able to qualify to write a red seal exam for journeypersons if you can supply proof that you worked in these jobs, else the only job you would likely have access to are labour jobs in the electrical industry. Slowlybutsurely has explained everything needed to be known on working visas. People i have met with tjat type of visas are usually from Europe. |

salford: I guess they don't write red sea exams in Nigeria |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by keleto(m): 8:52am On Apr 29, 2017 |
salford: @ Salford, slow bt surely etal Let's assume the visa comes out and verified to be genuine, without job offer. What do you advice I do. Secondly, let also assume the visa is out with a job offer, but the job is not in NOC O, A or B (for sake of PR application). What do you also advice that I do. Pls seniors, I need answers to these. Thsnks |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by SlowlybtSurely: 12:13pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
keleto: At the bolded; what you do depends on the kind of visa it is. You would have to read the terms and conditions of the visa. If it comes with a job that isn't O, A or B, you may have to do the job, save enough to apply to a college and take it up from there. In summary, ask them the specific type of visa it is, so one can know the way forward. Read the terms and conditions of the visa, then decide what to do. 2 Likes |

My people do not be deceived please! There is nothing like working holiday visa for Nigerian passport holders. That agent is gonna chop your money and disappear into thin air . The only category of Nigerians that get work visa from Nigeria are employees of multinationals like Proter and Gamble, schlumberger,etc whom their companies are sending on intra company transfer. Please please save your money and write ielts and get in the pool like everyone else. Unless you want to risk it and dash agent 1.2M. All the best! keleto: 16 Likes |

Nievel: Most people don't want to hear the truth. They let their desperation get the best of them. They only learn when they must have lost their life savings. The much we can do is warn. I mean, how difficult is it to search online to see immigration options available to one and the processes involved? I rest my case. 18 Likes |

maternal: Good evening Maternal. I am new on this forum and have gone through some comments here. You are all doing quite great here. I am married, Bsc Biochemistry, MSc Community Health (Occupational Health) but have not been able to use it to get a job here in Nigeria. I would like to relocate to Canada, with my family (wife and a toddler). What are my chances? Can you guide me on how to go about it? Thank you. Seniors in the house can also help. I will be really grateful. Thanks |
