Good day everyone. Any suggestions on how to get some CAD in Nigeria before travelling to Canada?

better off going with usd and converting to cad in Canada. Cad is not A major currency , heard some money changers have it in the airport but it’s usually expensive and you can’t if its real.

Hi please.

Hello everyone,

Please, I have some questions that will need clarification from the elders in the house.

I am about to start my Canadian pr journey and this has been my plan for years, get the necessary work experience to increase my CRS score, and then start the application process. But recently I have been torn between going for MSc in data analytics in the UK and starting my Canadian pr journey.

My question is, for those that have moved to Canada in the last few years,

1) do you think not having an MSc in your chosen career has affected your chances of getting a job or a better-paying job in your field in Canada?

2) In the data science and analytics field, is MSc important.

Thank you as you answer my questions.

1. Having a Master's degree will directly/indirectly affect your chances of getting a job in Canada.. However, having a Master's degree is not all that is required to get a high paying job ( other factors such as years of professional experience, acing interviews, communication skills) are as important as your Master's degree.

2. From my lil experience, I realize that majority of Nigerian's are embarking on unnecessary masters degree. For IT related courses, I would suggest you do more of short online courses on udemy,IBM, Coursera and get professional qualifications to back your knowledge.

Spending £15,000 pounds on a master's degree in data analysis aiint worth it in my opinion except you intend to use the masters as a means to japa from Nigeria.

Most of those earning high salaries in Data analysis field in Canada do not have a master's degree in data analytics.

If at all you are inclined in getting a master's degree, you can get it done at a cheaper price (3k to 5k cad) when u land as a permanent resident.

U can follow @jessica_xls on IG for more info on how to break into the data analytics field in Canada.

Not to veer off topic or be "that guy", but this your course is a very good platform for switching into data science/analytics with the potential to double that pay of a credit risk analyst.

This is so true. I know someone who made a similar switch and had a significant bump in pay. He took the Google analytics course offered by Google. Took him a few months and was very affordable.

@Emmasonic4me you can look into taking that course when you're done with sch.

Thank you.

I follow Jessica and she has been a source of inspiration.

Arrange for someone else to receive your PR, then let them send it to you through another person who's visiting Nigeria. Or alternatively apply for PRTD, though that one na another worry.
