What would you do if you must quit your job in Nigeria to leave for permanent residency in Canada? My salary is seven figures and my career prospects here in Nigeria are bright. I have less than 2 months to leave for Canada or I'll lose my permanent residency. I can't travel to Canada in between jobs; not only because the job itself requires my constant presence in Nigeria, I also won't be able to make the number of days in Canada required for residency renewal. I am extremely comfortable in Nigeria; maybe overcomfortable. No real idea how Canada will be.

what would you do in my shoes?

I'm a pretty smart person, so I have thought about this long and hard. I have probably also arrived at a temporary decision as well. However, I'd like to hear what other smart persons may have to say about this. I'd also like to hear what others have to say who have been in this situation. So, thanks in advance.

Mods, please help push to front page so I can get the best opinions.

the ball is in your court, you maybe enjoying your 7figures but when you get pikin or when your pikin reach secondary school I pray you don't regret it........ And I will say grab the opportunity now Canada visa is kinda easy to get, when they tighten their immigration policy like the USA I hope you don't regret it

7 figures is huge but can you compare Canadian lifestyle to Nigerians lifestyle

what's your profession? That would kind of determine what your early days in Canada might look like.

The best you can do it's to progress in your own country and to live around your own people and your culture. You go to Canada or any other country, the life is more comfortable, environment is cleaner, better roads, etc. Jobs? You will need to start from simple jobs and to see how it works, if you are hardworking and well educated, very skilled, you may have a good career in Canada yet it takes time and you will be always an immigrant, a foreigner, even if you adapt well, you will always miss your homeland.
... if you plan is to have kids and to give them better future, go to Canada but chose well the mother of your future kids and remember, your kids growing up in Canada will be more Canadians than Nigerians.

As a man, I personally would prefer to be successful in my own country than to be a 2nd class citizen (new immigrant) in any developed country.

My little advice is that you should think of future not just in the now,
Hope you won't be retrenched from that job without your consent,
Hope there is job security
hope is a pensionable job, if these things are in place you can stay back,
but please consider your children, they have alot to benefit as Canadian citizens
personally if am in your I will accept the PR, though the beginning might not be rosy but I know that there will be light at the end of tunnel.

Stay back!

Simple.


Don't risk it.

Hmmm...I think you already have answers to some of your concerns.

However, some questions that might need answering for you to ponder on is:

-How old are you now?
-Are you married/ with kids?
-Do you own a house of your own in a very good area?

I think if you can admit to having most of those question I listed in addition to the ones I highlighted then I don't see any reasons why you need to leave Nigeria permanently and start all over again career wise in Canada.

7 digits monthly income? hmm how can someone of your grade be asking this question? you can go and start life from beginning, the power that raised you up here will still do it there, meanwhile are there openings in the company?

I doubt if he's gonna regret anything. With his salary, his kids can attend the best high schools in Nigeria and go abroad for their university.

I still wonder why some Nigerians are like that.....

Nigerians are not smart enough at all.

You are very comfortable and still went ahead to apply for one PR.....

Some are saying future kids, only a dumb will be earning 7 figure as salary and wont plan something better for him and his future kids.......

Seven figures as salary is more than enough to plate a very good assets and investments for future purpose.

Anyways I hope the OP can replace me with that job.... So he can enjoy his Canadian PR.


Madam wizdom do you think the OP is making sense?

Have you applied for Canada visa before?

read d full sentence don't quote only d bolded

This is what i don't like. People just wasting spaces for others who genuinely want to migrate. Why bother going through the rigors of application process when you don't even know what you want.
The mistake a lot of Nigerians make is just migrating to another country without actually defining for themselves what they really want. Abroad is not for everyone.
From your post, i will advice you to stay back in Nigeria.
The only people i encourage to migrate are people who don't really place money over every other thing. People who don't feel happy about the rot in Nigeria and want to live somewhere where things are working. The truth is that the chances of making that 7 digits in Canada is low and for people who place too much value on money, it is either they go into crime to meet up or they come to nairaland, open a thread and be bad mouthing Cananda, US or other western countries they migrate to as if they country begged them to migrate.

Not everyone appreciate the clean environment, working systems etc that obtains in the western world. In fact, some people enjoy the chaos in Nigeria and will never function properly in the western society. I know some Nigerians over here who keep whining every time that they pay taxes.

@OP, my advice is stay in Nigeria to avoid regrets. It is obvious you did not even do your research very well and you don't seem to know what you really want.

You did ielts, wes, medicals, biometric, fill the.forms. got documents . Now this lol. U really don't need it then

7 figures question it depends on what he wants, from my observation some people don't take money as anything they prefer to live with whites so they can proudly say they're living among civilized people, it makes them feel good. His life, his business

@OP
If you didn't care about the money..... maybe you just dont like the situation of Nigeria. Then here's d best advice for you.
You choose

My Dad was in same shoe as you in the 80s. He was doing well and had an opportunity like you to migrate but he didn't because he felt he was too comfortable in Nigeria. Guess what ? He regrets it now cos Nigeria hasn't been stable and won't be stable economically for a long time.

Bro I would be honest with you, you may not be able to make or save that much in Canada on the short run, it would take a while for u to get to that level. But a lot of people leaving Nigeria for Canny are also earning well. The question is why are they leaving? The future economic outlook of Nigeria is very uncertain.. Bleak to say the least. Sit down and think about what Nigeria would be like in another 10years. Rising insecurity,inflation, massive exhange rate instability, trade deficits because of reduced demand for oil.Not to talk of infrastructure, Electricity. Etc.. Except something changes drastically.. Nigeria is not a very good option.. You would be very comfortable in Canada but u might not be so wealthy..

The kind of money you make is perfect enough to live your life to the fullest in Nigeria, as someone suggested there are few Questions you need to answer before full advice can be rendered.

1. What's Your profession?
2. Are you married or single?
3. Do you have kids?

Lies you have not gotten any PR

The best you can do it's to progress in your own country and to live around your own people and your culture., This point is not enough for you to advise someone not to discover the unknown and what is the definition of successful in your own country? Nigerians needs to probably understand that being sucessful goes more than just showing off with money and cars!

Honestly, this is a tricky and confusing decision and I feel your pain. Anyways, I would advice you to stay here in Nigeria because just as you said Nigeria is a good place to live in if you have money, and you do, which means you have the means to travel to Canada if you wish.
So just stay back, maybe your kids can have the residency someday.

Not every man adapts easy in the new country. In his country he is a respected professional, the boss at work and at home. In the new country he is nobody, no network, no close friends and contacts, maybe he starts from a low job, some PHD holders are driving taxi or making burgers. It affects many immigrants, specially men. The man needs his own success and I mean not only money and cars, house, also certain position in the society and being respected. More easy to immigrate for a simple man who is nobody in his own country. Men with good position in the homeland, get depressed if the things don't work so fast for to establish well.

I hope you understand.
