Indians also had high paying careers before Nigerians. It’s just very recently Nigerians started having good careers abroad. In the past most Nigerians did mostly menial jobs but Indians have been working in high paying industries like tech and healthcare. It’s why most of the veteran japarians are very pained that new japarians are having it easy compared to them.

Hehe... wawulence everywhere. i.e 'if I suffered, you must suffer thesame too'. I wonder how true this is.

when i was in the UK 2005-2008. It was rare to see Nigerians( new immigrants ) in places like JP Morgan, PWC, KPMG , IBM, Microsoft ( financial services, banking and Tech) . But today dem don yapa. Back then its was mostly nurses and doctors that they were taking. Its human nature no blame them.

I also when the veterans were warning new people about setting ring light ( come to uk , benefits of uk, bla bla bla). Sote Mr Taimiyu enter trap set by bbc journalist 😂

Hehe. I don't agree the uninhabitable excuse is a fair let-off for Australia. Yes, large swathes of Canada are not suitable for habitation, same also Australia. Taking away these uninhabitable parts, Australia is still sparsely populated. The Brits were not worried about the amount of habitable land when they came over and the Australians media didn't have so many issues when it was Brits coming in. Most Brits I see have relatives resident in Australia or Canada- its normal for them and the Canadian or Australian media hardly complained about this.

Part of the human tribalism you mentioned earlier.

@Your picture, South Asia, especially India, and China no be here o. Remove Nigeria and Ethiopia, Africa isn't that densely populated. That said, coastal and mostly tropical areas win again.

Well I mentioned by AWS certs on my resume. I think you should write either CompTIA A+ or CCNA, it'll help you get interviews for IT roles. I applied to roles mostly on Indeed. Skills necessary for it are Ticketing systems(eg ServiceNow), Active Directory, Windows, T/IP, DNS, Microsoft 365, SQL, etc. Just check IT role skills(Sevice desk analyst/IT technician/Technical specialist/Technical representative/etc) on Indeed and see the most common skills.
You do not necessarily need to know all these, but have a high level overview, and be able to create good experience stories out of these technologies for your interviews. But be reminded that the interview for such roles are generally more behavioral focused than skill focused. So spend more time on the latter than the former.

Thanks a lot.
I'll focus on Comptia A+

Is it possible to travel from Nigeria and arrive at Canada same day?

MasterJayJay:
Is it possible to travel from Nigeria and arrive at Canada same day?

Very hard but yes you can, if you can check british airways to london.. takes 6hours, aircanada 5-9hours (depending on your destination) with 5-6hours layover in london. Total 21hours.

You Should arrive canada on the same date depending on your take off time.

You mean let's ignore the fact that an unprecedented population growth, which did not occur naturally but through migration, ing for over 95% of that growth in three years, has little to do with real estate pricing, overload of public services and the job market? I'm sorry, if you don't think it's major then you need to take some economic lessons.

Again, I maintain that diversity is important, which interestingly is what a lot of blacks acclaim for in the work place via DEI. I'm no fan of DEI but there are a few positives to it. Importing 50k refugees from Ukraine or Afghanistan and millions of others from India ing for 1/4 of total migration numbers isn't going to be positive for Canada. How good is it going on in Canada so far? Do you like what you are seeing? Instead we are seeing growing ethnic hatred, crimes and nepotism. The US model of limit per country is a much better implementation, including their lottery system, and the dream of most of those Indians here are to cross to the US either way. The US has a similar issue with H1B visas, but thankfully is going to be addressed with the new istration. I don't think high score EE is necessarily the best way to bring in skilled workers. There are skilled enough people worldwide who may have lower tally than one group alone, but due to certain barriers like language and funds may not be able to compete with their Indian counterpart.

Again you make a false comparison when relating to the situation of the British. The British conquered Canada and built it. They did not migrate mostly through express entry. Eye browses would be raised if they flooded modern day Canada in numbers through the various immigration pathways.

jedisco:


I agree issues are multifactorial but migration is not the major driver. Taking away the recent 22/23 spike (which by historical standards is not unheard off), the population growth rate of Canada has been on a downward trend. The country grew at a much faster pace in the past and continued to thrive. Some of that spurt gave rise to some Canadian cities we know today.

Without migration, the population of most western nations would be in decline which is something they are keen to avoid especially seeing how Japan has handled it.

The way the world works, on a level playing field, one/few countries would always dominate migration numbers be it Brits, Chinese e.t.c. First, Canada is not getting 300k Brits to apply for its EE in 2024. Same also, you wouldn't get tens of thousands of Brits applying to Canadian universities. The numbers willing to apply and with the right qualification would not come from the anglosphere - same is the story elsewhere and it's fairly new. Is Canada going to take someone from country X with an EE score of 250 over an Indian with an EE score of 500? Yes, things could be spread out a bit more but not at the expense of a fair system. Also worth nothing that over 1 in 7 humans is an Indian. Add that to their decent command of English and you'd see their numbers are not surprising.

On diversity, almost 50% of Canadians are of British heritage. No one is complaining about that lack of diversity. Also looking at numbers, any country cap is going to disproportionately affect Nigerians

In addition to what the Original Poster said, if you can get the trifecta, you can easily and quickly progress upwards and choose a pathway in Networking or Security. It's a cheat code that even those without experience use to get their foot in the door and if you play your games right with real experience in the bag, you are looking at $100k in 3-5 years. This beats ANY BootCamp out there.

Comptia A+ (Core 1 & Core 2) > Network + > Security + = Trifecta! After this, you can diversify into whatever pathway you choose with a few specialized certs. Lastly, If you were a student at some point and can still access your student email, use it to access the Comptia Acad store and get the vouchers dirt cheap, which makes the investment a lot easier. All the best!

With the current threat from Trump of imposing tariff hikes on Canada, if this goes ahead, won't Canada potentially enter a recession? And with the Canadian currency falling now, isn't it a better time to start saving money in US dollars? It's unfortunate that, despite Canada's vast resources and population, its economy is so heavily dependent on the USA. Perhaps Trump has a point—if there is so much dependence on the USA, maybe it would be better for Canada to become a state of the United States!

They'd be a recession on both ends. The border states would especially suffer. Specifically the auto industry, where auto parts go back and forth about 7 times before the car is finished being built. So you'll charge tariffs each time a part crosses the border ? How much more would that car now cost ?

A lot of Canadian retirees who want to get away from the harsh winters go and live down south in places like Arizona, Florida, Texas, etc. Florida's economy would greatly suffer if not almost collapse without the influx of Canadians each winter. If the CDN dollar gets extremely weak, a lot would go to another warm destination, where they'd at least have decent purchasing power. Whereas, a lot of American companies would come up north as their operating costs would greatly reduce in Canada, as they operate in USD. That's why Hollywood films a lot of movies in Canada. Its cheaper for them as their movie budget is in USD.


The US has the world's biggest economy. It'd only make sense for Canada to tie their economy to the US. But it seems they'd be forced to finally diversify now. Other countries are watching this assault on Canada by Trump, and are implementing a diversify policy to not solely rely on the US market. This may hurt the US in the long run. But nonetheless, don't believe Trump nonsense. US citizens would also suffer, and they also need Canada. Both countries economy are integrated. If you shock the system, both countries would feel it, period.

You are right in some aspects of your comment. However, due to the tariffs, the Canadian economy will be hit more and could enter a recession, while the USA will be less affected by the after-effects of the tariffs compared to Canada—especially considering the economic power base of Canada, which is Ontario. Personally, I will not keep any cash; holding about CAD 10,000 in Canadian dollars is too risky given the current situation. It is the right time for Canada to look into other ways to stop its over-reliance on the USA for survival.

Trump is the most clueless politician I have ever seen. No strategy, no coherence, no knowledge just rant on social media.
At a time China is breathing down their neck trying to overtake them by forming alliances and pumping money into them like Belt and Road, BRICS, threatening the dollar etc, Trump is tearing down America's own alliances that has backed it.

Only Trump is initiating an economic war with Canada Mexico, China,Europe etc. If Trump implements those tariffs, there would be retaliatory tariffs against US exporters too. Let me see how US exporters, currency and economy will thrive when Canada, Mexico, EU,China etc. slam their own tariff on America.
Trade wars are lose lose for anyone that is why it is used for specific industries to protect local industries but for Trump, tariffs is a "beautiful" word and that is why he wants to apply it across board.

It's going to hurt Canada for sure but that would spur them to diversify trade away from the US which will be beneficial in the long run. The reliability of the US has kept them as number 1 all these while but their unreliability will bring their downfall. I won't be surprised traditional US allies drifting towards China in coming years thanks to Trump. Trump is a gift to China

came here to ask for gas, environmental wokism wan finish us, Trudeau declined, imagine if we began exporting gas to , diversify the economy, allow Alberta and the oil industry drill. But no, we want to solve the world's carbon problem. Look at us shaking for tariffs.
JT is the problem.
Look at the military, systematically weaken them. I hope PP wins the election.

if Trump really does what he says you will see how those who push for climate/green initiatives will suddenly change mouth. went back to coal after the west told us coal exploration is bad and deceived us to abandon enugu coal 😂

I'm eagerly waiting for this election. I can't wait to vote out those nonsense liberals no matter who leads them. They are the ones that caused Trump and all the far right guys sweeping the west now to come back. Common sense dem no get.

We export oil to US at a discount not because Canada is caring but because the stupid liberals and their environmental rubbish have made sure no pipeline or oil and gas infrastructure is built in the country so there is no other choice than to sell the oil to the US. Then the US now sells their own oil in the international market at real prices making quick gain on oil sales.
US buys 4m barrels a day of oil from Alberta at discounted price and sell the equivalent amount of their own oil abroad at higher prices and Trump still insult Canada . Trudeau needs to be flogged.

Common sense is far from the current Liberals. It is a pity that Harper didn't do half of what they had done before he was voted out. All economic indices are worse than when the current government took over. Trudeau promised us that the Budget would balance itself. He inherited a balanced Budget from Harper and never ran a balanced budget for 9 years in power. There is a huge difference when a country replaces an Economist Prime Minister with a Drama teacher.
However, Canada does not export oil to the U.S. at a discount because of the Liberals and their environmental rubbish. Although Trudeau stopped the North Gateway pipeline, TC Energy (TransCanada) cancelled the Energy East pipeline due to opposition from Quebec and a lack of government . If those pipelines are in service, Alberta crudes will continue to trade at a discount to the U.S. crudes partly due to:
• Alberta produces mainly heavy crudes, which must be traded at a discount to U.S. light crudes to be competitive in the markets.
• If those pipelines were built, the total capacity of those pipelines would be less than the total export to the U.S. The clearing market for the crudes will remain the U.S. The clearing price for those crudes in Alberta will for the cost of transportation to the U.S.

The way Nigerians buy job at home and use connection everywhere to get job, how do they compete out there?

Gerrard59:

Kudos to them. But as someone who lived in the UK for a while where there are more Nigerians than elsewhere in Europe, why haven't we replicated the same? At least, amongst Nigerians before including other black Africans and the Caribbean? Is it because we still crave for home so we invest most of our assets in Nigeria rather than buying assets in the UK?

We like this one leg in the west one leg in Africa thing that does not work and doesn't make sense
We also like I better my neighbours mentality
That's why we are still struggling

as repugnant and terrible as Indians behave, and their yama yama cultural proclivities and lack of emotional intelligence in dealing with other groups, one thing I do give them credit for is their ability to pool resources together and practice delayed gratification

But that has come in part, at a cost of "slummifying" and "ghettorising" certain places

Brampton and Sheffield for reference in Canada and UK respectively

ednut1:
in addition they have been bringing some of their cultures to Canada which doesn’t make sense.

There are videos/ articles online showing some of these below

1. Renting a 3 bedroom basement to 6-12 people ( i rode my bicycle past Brampton recently and most of the houses have 5-6 cars on the driveway/road) . Brampton mayor recently introduced a program to checkmate this. Landlords protested.

2. Bragging and encouraging fellow students to go storm food banks.

3. Indian descent politicians carrying khalistani/ hindu/silk matter to the parliament. NDP leader is a silk, conservative deputy leader is also a silk both sympathetic to khalistani.

4. Employing only their own people in the gas stations, trucking , fast food, hotels they own.

5. Catching migrating salmon illegally

6. Allegedly sh**ting in some beaches ( later debunked)
7. Crossing the rail tracks at union station in mass.

8. Filling for false asylum in response to the changing immigration rules.

9. Selling trucking training schools certificate to people who didn’t do the training. Thereby endangering lives

There are other immigrants in the country but too many bad eggs has turned all the attention on them.

Very well said
They are doing same foolishness here in the UK as well

It's mutual, US also depends on Canada for oil and Hydro and like Trudeau said there's no freaking way, anyone who feels like ing can just move down south and best of luck

Just so you know, he did the tariff thing during his first tenure and Canada retaliated so nothing much would happen

Tariffs from US isn't what would lead Canada to recession, the drop in Canadian dollar to US dollar is due to drop in interest rate, as long as the interest rate here is lower than that of US, it will drop for now and may bounce back in the future when BOC rate start going up

I agree that this is not feasible especially for older migrants as building any enterprise or career takes time. So dividing attention here and there with the aim to achieve greatness is very unrealistic. However, if home presents economic opportunities, I can understand why many want to partake in such. Also, we seem to love home very well and understand that being in the abroad is a means to an end, not the end. Maybe this could change for the present generation. My own is the weather. I no like winter environment.

Also another major factor, but this can be mitigated within ethnic circles. It is unrealistic for every Nigerian to collaborate, but it is possible for those within ethnic groups to do the same. Humans are tribal. So within an ethnic group should look out for the other. A reason behind the non-collaboration could because of the presence of blacks in the UK/general West. In regions with fewer black people, nobody go tell person to collaborate with the closest black person you see (provided cultural similarities are ironed out smoothly).

Is Peckham not the same as Brampton or Bradford?

The liberal government is like the black sheep of the family. Everyone is taking out their frustration on them. A lot of things regarding the oil industry are being blamed on the Liberals, unjustly so. I worked in northern Alberta for 6 years. Conservative voters shouldn't get their hopes up as absolutely nothing will change. Watch.

You can make a bunch of promises and talk tough throughout the campaign. But once you get into government and realize you have to cater to every interest groups as much as possible, then you have provincial autonomy which can delay or destroy a PM objective; you'll then understand how hard it is to please everyone. Personally, I know not much will change. Don't get your hopes up my people.

The goodnews is he doesn't have to cater for every interest group and he has intimated just that. He doesn't have to cater for climate change and environmentalist fanatics in order to develop the gas pipelines or to axe the carbon tax. He doesn't have to cater to woke and far left extremists inorder to laws against degenerate sexual tendencies. He doesn't have to cater to those who scream racism just because more cautious measures will have to be introduced to handle immigration. There's no saviour in this world who will bring an end to all suffering, Jesus ultimately is, and only to Him should we cast our hope for life without sorrow. However, there's hope for a betterment in some areas.

I'm sorry, if you don't think it's major then you need to take some economic lessons.

1. I'm not ignoring migration growth as a potential factor in the housing market. I'm saying it's not the only or major cause. Also, that the rise in house prices (though now too fast) is a planned and wanted outcome of many policies and lastly, the increased demand brought by migration can manytimes be a good thing.

2. I wonder why you are keen to differentiate population growth through migration and that occurring via birth. Yes, they may be subtle differences but ultimately it results in increased numbers. On economic , that through migration is much cheaper than and can be better tailored. The average 25yo in the Brit has already cost the government £500k from birth. Not an insignificant number would go on never be net contributors and would go on to live off the government for life. So an average 25 yo needed migrant in the UK is like handing the government a £500 cheque. This is before even considering other things.

3. 'DEI' is seen in multiple facets of the everyday life. Its how balance is maintained. Its a control mechanism that tends to address the positive loop that exists in life i.e the rule that he who has is by virtue if having likely to have even more. Call it compound interest e..t.c. When done with taxation, its called 'progressive' taxation. (I.e someone earning more would pay higher percentage of their pay as tax than a lower earner). Higher earners contribute more to lift all boats. When done with healthcare, its called universal healthcare and equity. I can go on. It may surprise you to know the greatest determinant of wealth is not hardwork or intelligence.

4. I take objection to use the word 'importing' when referring to human migration moreso that of a legal kind. These are people which the government made a pathway for them to arrive her. They are not goods in a container.

5. On H1B, I dont know if you've been following the news but it'd interest you to know that Elon and Vivek are already vocally pushing for its restructuring which to them means increase in numbers and more emphasis on merit. So far, Trump does not seem opposed.

To summarise, whether DEI or migration, there are pros and cons to most things and finding the right balance is important. It's done me well in life not to stress over things I can't change. Like them or hate them, those Indians and their kids especially would form the pillar of the Canadian society tomorrow. I'd always take exception to is hiding behing migration to spread hate
