ahiboilandgas:Express entry the biggest ripoff! You’re going to be promised permanent residence which you’ll truly get but how do you maintain your status as a resident if you cannot earn any tangible income? truth is at the time of Canadian immigration, they will accept your home country’s education and experience. But when you immigrate and apply for a job, then you will find that most of employers are looking for Canadian education, experience or professional license. So you need to start from scratch. If you have patience and you are consistent to achieve your goals, ultimately you will get it. It requires a plan to set and achieve your goals. Most of the people unable to do that and ultimately ends up working outside from their profession and experience. If you don’t care about what you are doing to earn money, then it’s a good country and standard of life is better. Very frequently you will find foreign doctors working in Canada as a physician assistant or other healthcare fields. Electrical engineers are working as electricians. Dentists working as dental assistant and so on. More than 50% of immigrants are not even able to save $1500 monthly in the first 5yrs so whoever is migrating because of money or the so call better life is in for a long ride. 4 Likes |

NIGHTLIFE100:You made some good points but better life has different meaning. Someone who was kidnapped and raped by Herdsmen would take the better life you described above in a twinkle of an eye,he wont even argue it. Same for a graduate who has been Job hunting in Nigeria for 2 years. afroxyz:The answer to this lies in your priority in life, your definition of what success means and your current status in Nigeria. 3 Likes |

He once wrote a very interesting story about his line of business which i read here on nairaland - transcontential commodity trading if I recall correctly - using his other moniker. He's also learning from here too, he may not admit it though. Good discussion, guys! 2 Likes |

emmanuelewumi: Kinda hard to buy a plot of land worth 12 mills in lagos mainland and not dwell among the riff raff or poor people. That has been my concern lately , having just acquired a new whip then I started to feel unease, when I drive by, I see people pointing at me or looking at me in a way that make me feel unsafe, my neighbour's also told me how he also feels all eyes are on him because he's got a lovely house n cars too. Note, I've been in this area for 12 years now with my small cars and nobody notice me. Mind you, this my car in question is a toy that people won't look twice in porsh areas. Of course I'm planning to sell off n move. If you live among your likes, you kinda have peace of mind and less worries about jealous neighbours 24 Likes 1 Share |

Akin3891: You will have to go to outskirt of the city and invest in new areas, like minds can also come together to buy land in bulk. Eg through the workers union or cooperative societies. Some people who bought land at Unilag estate Magodo were not necessarily working there. When the staff Union at LASU bought a large expanse of land at Agbara, I keyed in and invested People who are not journalists keyed in into NUJ estate at Magboro some years ago. 2 Likes |

Tvegas:No doubt! I agree that your current situation in Nigeria might becloud your judgement and my comment is majorly for people that are doing averagely okay in Nigeria and decides to leave everything to chase the Canadian dream lol through express entry... It’s painful to see that job experience anywhere outside Canada is not considered and if you don’t have references forget about landing a decent job. There’s a big gap in immigration policies and mindset of employers, so overall it’s usually a disappointing move for people that are already doing well in their home county but that doesn’t mean Canada is a bad country I just feel immigrants are being ripped off and not being told the truth from their home country. 6 Likes |

Grupo: Good. Since you don't have a fixed income, you may not be able to have a fixed investment or savings plan. However, there's a method to it. You know your typical /basic income. Also your typical monthly expenses. Once you balance the two, go aggressive on the left over. Alternating between savings and investment. Once you meet an emergency fund of upto 6months salary as savings, put the rest into investment. Consider some fixed income investments, no matter how little. That is what I did as a bachelor and I'm still doing. PS. Plan for your rent. You can use target savings aside your regular savings. 4 Likes |

NIGHTLIFE100: I think express entry is best for young people within the age of 25 and 32. If you are above the upper limit (that's 32 years), you may feel disappointed. Being young will allow you to integrate into Canada's system more easily. 2 Likes |

NIGHTLIFE100:True, People with unrealistic expectation get dissapointed. Recently i heard of a group of young immigrant who sued the Canadian government for not delivering the eldorado they dreamt of. During my short stay in that country, i saw many african homes going through marital troubles,a lot ended up seperated. Infact there are some feminists that will encourage your wife to rebel, One woman got to Canada and discovered that she can share the house chores with husband, something she cant dare in Nigeria. This among other issues caused the couple to break up . For immature couple that cultural shock becomes a problem. For men used to side chicks in Nigeria, if madam catch you and she decides to deal with you,you are finished. In Canada its children first,Animal second, Women third, men get little right . Recently my young friend also complained about the rubbish his young boy was being taught in elementary school,they told him he can be male and female, he should take his time to choose his gender. I was talking to another friend recently who sent his kids to Nigeria for secondary education, they are Canadian citizens. This life,there is no single solution for everyone. People should just set their priority right,plan well and pray to God for Guidance. If you are doing very well in Nigeria,think twice before making that move. Many people do regret that abroad journey . But if you are struggling its better to struggle in Canada than to struggle in Nigeria. 31 Likes 2 Shares |

My proposed solution to this kind of problem for people who have not not built a house because I do not think it can be useful to you again since your house is built already. For lands like that, it is better to build a set of 1 bedroom or two bedroom flats. I know of about 5 or 6 units of 1 bedroom flats in a half plot. As one Tenant is leaving another is moving in. You can then use that money and sometimes some extra sef to rent in a more befitting place. This craze to brag of being a landlord, I discovered recently leads one to make emotional investment decision. 10 to 5 yrs ago I would have considered this advice to be stupid though.

ojesymsym: He is not talking about his own house, but the caliber of people on his street and area. An area that has a high population density, jobless youths, jealous next door neighbours etc 6 units of a bedroom apartment on half a plot is even overcrowded and will overstretch the facility of the house |

ojesymsym: yo, but u see, personally I don't see house for rent as a good investment, not because it isn't lucrative but becos of the returns in my area , I have soo much I could do with the same amount. 4flats of 3bedroom could cost 20m to build , cost of land between 10-15m in a standard environment. total 35m. this 35m I can invest to make roughly 500k monthly instead of the usual 2m annually in areas around asaba. |

You have a very strong point. If you even invest such. Money in the stock market on good stocks, the ROI from dividends may even be more. Do you also do stock market matter? zamirikpo: |

emmanuelewumi: The sustainability right here is my fear. I am 23 and i intend to invest 200k monthly (at 20 - 30% returns) and let it compound till i am 43 (Asides my pension fund). To compound faster, i also took a 1M loan from GTB which already invested and i'm already paying back. The firms claim to be insured by Leadway but i know well not to trust these insurance companies when problems arise. 1 Like |
