Well, it depends on what you want in life? Money, sane environment, clean air, good healthcare system, functional society and co. My cousin is a branch manager in one of the banks in Nigeria and she is also planning to relocate to Canada. She would rather live in a sane country with slightly good pay than the huge amount she makes in naija. To each their own.

Don't you trust in your ability to compete for and get good job in Canada?

It appears now that coming to Canada is a fad among the middle class and below in Nigeria. If you are doing OK at home or are happy with the future you can build for yourself there why would you want to relocate to a place with a different culture and climate? Nigeria may not be the easiest place to live in but with focus and determination, as is required in every country in the world, maybe a little more, you can build a life that you find fulfilling there.

With that said, immigrating to Canada should be for very specific reasons and not because all the cool kids are doing it. Those reasons will inform the areas where one settles and there are many of such areas. Canada offers living standards and opportunities that are among the best in the world today and the ease of settlement for immigrants is usually a factor of the research, planning and drive of said immigrants. There are many who have settled successfully and are making amazing strides in the careers and personal lives and there are those who are struggling.

In the end, relocating is a personal project, one that should only be embarked upon after detailed research and planning. The challenges one may face, if any, are not a deterrent to those with the proper drive and knowledge.

I have to agree with you...

like 200-300k

Hello everyone.

I am hoping to re locate to canada early 2018. Either as a student or PR. I am currently a banker in nigeria, 33 yrs , single , male, reasonably comfortable. I am not in a serious relationship but would love to be in one and hopefully get married soon. I am wondering if my decision to relocate would affect my prospects of being married soon. There is a female colleague of mine I have been thinking of, but don't want to commit to it then travel away. So i don't break anybody heart.

Please let me know your thought.

No sane person who's doing well in their country would even consider migrating. The fact you're thinking about migrating says a lot. Why not tell us what's disturbing you about naija then we can go from there. Help me help you.

yokus:
This statement is relative. Many people that I know that migrated this year are doing very very well in Nigeria but want their Wife and Kids settled there. Though i get the point you are driving at.

Beube:


Right now am not doing bad at all in terms of finance and thats why i have money to make this journey. What am worried about is the future, if my job ends in naija today to get another may be tough, gratuity, pension ,exposure in my field, better pay package, skill sets, health, and the likes thats what drives me. But when i hear when u get down to canada u are not likely to get a job, then when you get a job i leart u are not likely to be able to save up to $600 then am like whats so rosy over there if u cant get more box. Then i hear 90% of ur income is spent on bills. Then am like what of the projects i intend to do. Its tough to leave a known world to an unknown world. I earn above 200k in naija o

salford1:

You are right. Migrating to Canada is costly. Alot of times, those making the move are usually the well settled and comfortable ones in naija.
Lots of family like that in Calgary...the husband would live kids and wife here and return to naija. There is a family I know living in Aspen Woods. Aspen is like the Ikoyi of Calgary. The husband bought a house in Aspen, left wife and kids in Calgary, then returned to naija to continue his work in the Oil industry. The wife does not even have to work as enough pepper dey flow in from naija. All kids attend private schools in Calgary too.

Just like the poster on page 149 that earns 2million naira after tax (circa $7k). Even by Canadian standard, that is a lot of money to earn after tax...I would really think hard to quit that kind of job in naija and pack up to Canada...lol.

People just want the best for their family aslong as they can afford the luxury.

Good day ALL,

maternal:


I know a family like that. But the marriage will inevitably dissolve through the long distance relationship. Something would eventually have to give.

Bsbabe:


Are you the one in the marriage or is that your prayer for them? How can you state something so negative so categorically?

People make sacrifices for their families, especially their children on a daily basis and it is simply the business of the couple who have decided this is the personal sacrifice they will put in for their children. You do not know the foundation of their marriage and have no clue what they are about so to state categorically that their marriage will inevitably dissolve or to wish them such ill is just wicked and nasty.

TEECANN:


Congratulations once again on your recently earned PPR/COPR

It's definitely ending in praise!

Blackbuddy:


I've replied chief

yokus:
I just tire my Sis. I read it, shook my head and jumped pass. I can't even fathom how one can come to such a conclusion so confidently.

maternal:


200k is about 700 Canadian dollars per month. Small boys here would laugh at that. As for the success you'd have here, I am not God. Are you afraid to compete ? Or do you expect to become Prime Minister the following day once you land ? Federal election is in 2 years. Come quick and campaign. Stop listening to people and do your own research as well. And if you're going to listen to people, listen to the success ones who are on the grind. Don't listen to bad belle people who couldn't make it. Lastly, if someone is spending 90% of their salary on bills, they're living above their means. But all these bills you keep on talking about. I guess gen, fuel, water, school fees, food, phone credit, etc is free abi ?
