6 Fatal Mistakes You Must Avoid If You Are Thinking of Relocating to Canada from Nigeria (not knowing these could cost you at least $5,000!)
If you are interested in moving to Canada and getting all the benefits of a permanent resident, then this report is for you.
As someone who immigrated to Canada, I have been getting a lot of questions from friends and friends of friends, asking me how they can immigrate to Canada also.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to this because there are tons of information about immigrating to Canada
But I guess people just want something real that is coming from someone who has actually had the experience that they seek. A lot of people have wasted huge amounts of time and money because they make some of the fatal mistakes I will talk about below.
With the present condition in many third world countries, I really don't blame anyone who is looking for a better life for themselves and their family.
Truth is.....Canada is a great country and home to more than 200,000 Nigerians as well as nationalities from many other countries!
As a permanent resident in Canada, you enjoy:
Free quality education for your children (up to 18 years old)
Subsidized post secondary education fees
Free and premium health care
Affordable cost of living
Security of life and properties
Several other benefits
Sadly, many people have been making serious mistakes in their bid to relocate to Canada. A lot of them have lost loads of money and have made little progress.
They are making at least one of the 6 fatal mistakes listed below.
The truth is, if you want to relocate to Canada, you have to shine your eyes well well so that you simply don't waste a lot of money trying to process your relocation without guidance.
So what are the 6 fatal mistakes you must avoid?
1. Using Quack and Inexperienced Agents: This one is huge! I am amazed at the number of people who get duped by all shades of agents on a daily basis.
Also surprising is the fact that many people are too lazy to find out information that is readily available even on the Canada Government website.
This is why they are so readily available to be duped by sweet talking agents with questionable results.
So, I have nothing against using agents but only if they are genuine and experienced. If you must use an agent, make sure they are genuine. Make sure you vet every information they put in your forms, because Canada takes misrepresentation very seriously.
Don’t allow an agent to make you get a 5-year ban for something that is not your fault. If you can afford, use an IRCC approved agent based in Canada
2. Not realizing that age is a huge factor. The truth is, immigrating to Canada using the express entry route when you are ‘old’ could hard!
And I know a lot of people who, for reason of age, have either given up or watched their Canada dream die a natural death without being able to do anything about it.
That is why it is very necessary to do your homework if you are planning to relocate to Canada. The reason I say this is because, there are still several immigration routes that are suitable for people in their 40s and above. Which brings me to my next point….
3. Not exploring the range of immigration options.
The only route that most people know is the ‘express entry’ which is the most popular option currently.
This is also the most competitive route to take to Canada and won’t be the right path for everyone with skilled work experience.
But there are other ways to get Canada PR
Presently, Canada has over 50 immigration and visa programs available. It’s important to explore all your options to ensure you make the best choice that will result in a successful application.
Some immigration programs are points-based, while other are not. Some programs operate on a first-come, first-served basis, while some do not.
Some programs require employer or family sponsorships while others require provincial or community endorsements. And some programs remain open on an ongoing basis, while some have strict deadlines.
It is advisable that you not only explore other options, but also complete a comprehensive eligibility assessment to find which Canadian immigration route might be best for you.
Some routes to explore include the provincial nominee program, student route, home care worker, and business, to name a few.
4. Not taking into account that Canada's Immigration policies change from time to time
And with the covid 19 pandemic, there are more changes coming.
What this means is this...
As more and more people successfully apply and get into Canada, the immigration policies get tighter and tougher.
Before the express entry, the older you were, and the more work experience you had, your chances of immigrating were higher.
However, the minimum requirements that got older people into Canada 3 to 5 years ago won't get them in today
That means the best time for you to start processing your immigration is today.
If you wait another 6 months, the policies could change and become even tougher
There are even plans to overhaul the express entry and nobody knows for sure what’s coming.
This also stresses the point above that you need to explore other options
5. Not preparing financially for the related expenses.
This is the simple truth
Relocating to Canada will require a financial investment especially if you have a family.
Sadly, most people are unprepared and therefore shocked when they are faced with the related expenses.
Relocating to Canada is NOT for everybody especially if you are still struggling to get your daily bread.
Believe me when I tell you that no matter the route you choose, you need to cough out thousands of Canadian dollars, especially with the exchange rate of the naira!
I know some people who got stuck after making good progress, simply because they could not foot the bills on time.
6. Not understanding the timing for the Canada visa application processing
I have always said that the Canadian immigration and visa system is a test of patience.
No, it does not take ages to process applications.
But it could, especially if you are being processed in certain countries, and if you have complicated documents or a criminal background.
The timing also depends on the route you take.
Some people think it takes too long, so they don’t even start (admittedly, some routes like the provincial nominee program could take several months, even years).
Others think it takes only a couple of months, and so almost give themselves high blood pressure during the wait.
To put the record straight, you can obtain permanent residence through the express entry within 6 months. And a study visa processing could take as long as 3 months to complete.
But if you want to be in Canada before processing your permanent residency, you could use the routes that take a shorter period.
So, there you have it. If you are making any of these mistakes, now is the time to stop and seek accurate guidance.
Canada is still needing immigrants and so they still need you.
