tranxo:


Your village people don find work for you oo

My brother it seems exactly so. And not just any job but job with serious prospects!

ffo:

Work visa? School visa? Visiting visa?
What do you mean by proper Canadian visa? Are you eligible to work legally when you get there?

Visitor visa. Said that right at the beginning. TRV!

Wujio:
Smh. Village people and liking to cause confusion. They waited for him to finish his Canada moves by first wasting his financial reserve and then leaving him in a state of dilemma. Smh

My brother, if you only knew how right you are!😆

Skyview01:


I have experienced both. 12years in Canada and presently in Nigeria. The heat is honestly too much and i don't know how people sleep without an AC in Nigeria. I for sure would not be able to sleep.

Thing is, Nigerian cold weather gives me headaches and catarrh. Heat doesn't. I loathe cold weather. It's a big part of it

Buzx:


It's not easy to get a job not to talk of LMIA. That's a huge uncertainty. He's better off with this job offer in Nigeria until he gets a proper visa.

All in the know, this is their advice - without even knowing that the 500k salary is probationary and will quickly go up to 1m. But my heart is already in Caca

Buzx:


You'll go through hell, bro. That "hustle" is probably cash jobs. You can't keep up with that. Take the job offer in Nigeria, while you plan towards getting a proper visa.

That's what I'm told but I don't think I can bear not traveling NOW. At least a little bit of travel - my itchy feet are that bad!

Buzx:


Well, you can visit and see things for yourself. Just make sure find a way to keep the offer. Cheers and good luck!

This is actually what I'm leaning towards. Who knows, maybe somebody will fall in love with me. You never know

chaiks:
struggle for what? I think the Canadian society offers a good opportunity than Nigeria even if you want to hustle. By the way, go now that immigration is a bit easy. By next year , it might get harder

My visa is multiple entry, 6 months at a time till expiration of my passport. I have to go. Though, I wonder what sours people there about the place

PoliteActivist:


It is a TRV, a visitor visa, said that right at the begining!

Please stay in Nigeria and do your 500K Tech job. Keep applying for remote and in-person roles in North America and even Europe, you'll get it eventually and japa if that is something you fancy. Life as an illegal permanent resident for anywhere no easy oo.

CaptainFM1:



If you are asking for my experience, I will give you freely. I've travelled all the continents of this world. I can tell you for a fact that one thing is common in the world. Yes it's money.

It doesn't matter where you get it as long as it's legit. Once you get it, you can even travel to the moon or deep down the bottom of the ocean to see the relics of Titanic.

Ecclesiastes 10:19!

As for the cold, you're not the only one that hate cold. Cold and snow in particular gets in the way of everything. Even the citizens of the country where they get extreme cold and snow don't like the weather. Their super rich travels to Africa or Middle East (Dubai and co) during winter.

Again, you can see it boils down to money.

😁Ajala the traveler, you're right - it boils down to money. Even the video below, the lady left Canada because of money stress.
If there were only a way one can earn in Cana and spend in Naija .
As for cold, it's not just that I loathe it - cold weather here in Nigeria actually gives me headache and sinuses!

Anwons:


Consider your age, likely amount you are going to earn in Canada and expenses of naija(with 500k) and that of Canada.

The 500K is probationary and will quickly rise to 1m. All in all, after watching the videos and considering I hate cold, Naija is actually better - but for the corruption and shody services

Shaunscot:
You didn't say what your status will be in Canada. PR, Student, Work Permit.

That said, if it's a legal relocation here's my advise.

See if you can do the Naija job remotely and then move down.

Stay with your friend but keep earning the Naira. 500k Naira is only CAD 650 and while it won't solve much of your Canadian bills, it will help considering you have a friend providing accommodation. Do this until you can get your first Canadian job and settle down fully.

Have you been reading the thread? I have TRV. Visitor visa and as I said severally, the 500K is probationary and will quickly rise to 1m. I have to travel. I must travel somewhere

SPAMBOX7:
Since you are into tech you will be a hot cake in Canada. If I were you I would move to Canada.
500k is $500 now.
You can make times 15 of that as tech guy in Canada per month.
Multiply by your visa validity then you know wassup.

I honestly want to go now despite I hate cold, but people in the know advise caution and delay. By the way the 500k is probationary, to quickly become 1m then 1.5

Mcslize:


Hmmmm. This 500k you guys are hammering on is just $500 o. With all the inflations.

PoliteActivist , carry your bag and head to Canny without looking back. I won't tell you twice!

I'll very like likely travel now but if you've been reading the thread, the 500K is probationary, to quickly rise to 1m, 1.5

Mcslize:


Did you say you don't have permit to work in Canada? The decision is easy then. Pls I withdraw my previous advice. Don't bother going to Canada if you know you don't have the right to work.

I thought you got PR. Stay back and take the job. I didn't know you were going as temporary visitor.

Please stay back o. I can only advise you to go if you have work permit. Better stay back and accept the 500k job.

Actually the 500K is probationary, to rise exponentially, but I'm leaning towards leaving as the ground is burning under my feet

Mcslize:


LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🇳🇬

Una sabi blow things out of proportion eh!

Actually, he's not blowing anything out of proportion. See below. Still, I lean towards leaving

NuCypher:

Guy, you don't have a work visa. What you have is a visit visa. Stay your a.ss in Nigeria and visit when you are on vacation from your 500k job.

Actually the 500k is probationary, to quickly double and more. Still, I lean towards leaving - now!

jonnywest22:
As someone who works in recruitment in Canada,please don't try to relocate with a visitor visa,it will be very difficult to change your status, especially during this time of the year.i would say you should take up the Nigerian job,and then visit Canada during the summer time. The job market slows down during this time of the year(winter),so to get a company to sponsor you,will be the most difficult thing as there are thousands of people looking for Lmia right now in Canada.

Thanks for your sincere input About same advice all on in the know are giving me. But I already have my ticket and the ground is burning under my feet. I am leaning towards NOT heeding this advice

rinzaugustine:
that’s the problem of Nigeria it keeps worse everyday in the early 80s most European companies had their companies in Nigeria . Nothing like tokunbo. My dad bought his two cars 504 and beetle with water proof on seats every thing new but by 92/93 he bought his next car as tokunbo Mercedes product. Nigeria always had bad leaders but Babangida was the worst. I remember under him prices of things sky rocketed in the market, many foreign companies like bata where my dad got school shoes for us left, Uk cancelled the free visa to Nigerians under him, a lot of Nigerians including professors starting escaping to Europe and America, mushroom banks that collect people’s deposit and vanish due to his policy, he was killing journalists too who write about him with his devil and power hungry wife Maryam. Babangida is the worst president of Nigeria and did most damage than any other president

You know, I agree with you. Something happened to Nigeria under Babangida. It was precisely durring his rule that Nigeria's catastrophic downfall started. Some rulers are just bad luck. Let's hope BAT is good luck

PoliteActivist:


That's what people already there advice, also people in the know. But I honestly don't think I can do it. Canada is already too interwoven in my thinking. Not just Canada, but Canada NOW!

If you have enough money to sustain you for a good period of time then go for it. Even if you get a job in good time it's best to have money to sustain you for 6 months to 1 year just in case

Taal17:


It's not new, very possible
I got a car..there are managerial cars and there are functional cars.
Managerial was because of your position, functional was because of your job function required a car. This is very different from pool cars that had a driver.
I could use the car at weekend and my personal time. Got a stipend for fuel however repairs were done by the office. However they will not use company money to replace anything broken or spoilt outside work hours

So that’s not a status car but an operational car. Nigerians are fond of exaggerating themselves. Just say it as it is…..

PoliteActivist:


My friend read and think well sometimes b4 you comment or someone may call you and idiotic mumu. As I've said severally the salary is probationary and quickly goes to 1m then I.5. And there ARE 500K jobs that come with car allowance or company car. You don't know anything

The first May gullible one here is you, just read what you wrote up there, it is probationary, and quickly goes to 1M and then 1.5M….just continue to lie to your fellow kids here. No be only quickly na fast fast, shebi na so salary dey rise😀😃

Intrepid01:

The OP never said it was a status car, he just said the job came with a car.

Besides even if it is a status car ...just because you never seen it doesn't mean he's exaggerating. It maybe uncommon does not mean it's doesn't exist.

It's people like you that have this country in the state it is. Just because you lie and cheat everyday, you think everybody is a liar and a cheater. And of course you gravitate towards falshood because you are a false by nature. Well, get into your head, there are people that actually tell things as they are, no more, no less. Now run along, face your slave job and corrupt life and stop putting mouth into things you know nothing about!

There is no visa and no job. The earlier people realize this the better. Visiting visa is never a relocation visa.

tensazangetsu20:


To think a lot of people would compare the babangida regime as heaven to the satanic agbado one

Nigerians hope, really HOPE, BAT brings us good luck. We've suffered long enough. Anybody who can get away with all he got away with, without spending a day in jail, and not only that, end up PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA (something that truly genius ambitious people aim for all their lives and never get), has to be extremely lucky indeed!! We hope some of that luck rub off on us!

kunle75:


Follow your mind bro

Easier said than done. My mind wants BOTH!

Dammiesugar:


If you’re coming into Canada with visitor’s visa, my dear abort mission straight or else you will regret it and go back to Naija empty handed.

I've been constantly advised this by people who have actually done it. What I'm not sure they put into consideration is that I already have my ticket and the ground is burning under my feet!

alphabbey1:

Get a G licence in Nigeria, you will use it to enter truck training school in Canada. Tuition fee for the truck training school is just about 5,000 dollars... After the certificate, I will not give you 100% assurance but I can assure you that you are in a better position of securing a Truck driving Job faster with your visiting visa....

Please forget about using visiting visa to get a tech Job in Canada, reason is, there are thousands of citizen, PR, Work permit holders that can fill up any tech openings....

And you call $5K "just", I don't even have up to that in my account right now😁

virginchaser:


If i where you i will collect the job, spend three months, have meeting with the management to allow me work remotely for three months. You may end up doing half year in both countries.

Not possible with this particular job, also I honestly want to leave now - village people and all

ceejayluv:

Well, life's all about taking risks..

But CALCULATED risks (like Tinubu did all his life - and got away with it!). The problem is deciding the "calculated" part

micxwell:
Things are complicated right now but not as bad as not being able to get by with 1million naira.

Though to be honest, depends on lifestyle. I'll quickly be earning 1m if I stay, but I'll have a cook and driver and other obligations from societal expectations
