Maria96: Interesting that on a weekend when Trump is slapping tariffs on Canada- a move which has the potential to push the nation into a recession, this is what you come up with. Infact, you posted this same day after the news broke Most Canadians are united in protecting their future but you're still here pointing fingers. You see how as a group, you may not be considered part of a conversation before it even begins? Back to the CCDebt, have you verified that claim? If true, do you think companies just hand out credit cards willy nilly to everyone that asks without due diligence and risk assessment which factors in defaultees? Someone able to amass that amount on CC allowance is not an everyday stroller. Has this been a pattern with cumulative effects significant enough to warrant looking into? Or alternatively, have you made your mind a tool for hate bots (which now litter the internet) to fester on as they drive more of such to you in your closed-off cocoon? 3 Likes |

All in all, some indians are shit heads why some of our people are shit heads as well. Let's try to put a stop to these arguments, nothing progressive about it. As a community how do we move forward? 2 Likes |

Just look at the oil/gas pipelines in Canada. Only one pipeline goes to the sea. While all the others go to the USA, Ontario is even tapping from the USA Leg. Its time for government to stop all these green/climate change driven policies that blocks direct pipeline projects to places like Ontario/Quebec/the Artic . Trump has hit us below the belt 😪 6 Likes |

ednut1: My wife was nominated in the November IRCC draw for PR. I am a dependent and will be coming to Canada as a PR once our application is finalized. Our AOR is January 2025. and Getting PR in Canada is no longer difficult, as many people from Nigeria have obtained it recently —even those who initially arrived on a visitor visa. The majority of people I know who came in 2023 are now PR in processing after hearing approved .The asylum process in Canada is also quite very easy if you know your way around it. Am now just worry about the situation in Canada as per job search and the economic generally if it worth just selling off my investment and relocating permanently . |

MicheaD:explore soft landing or one person stays till job shows. Don’t sell your investment and assets just yet. A friend of mine did soft landing and went back to 9ja with her husband. Then they began to apply for jobs. Took her like 7 months to get a job. The husband didn’t get but got one after 4 months of them landing. Today they have both changed jobs and now have same positions they had in Nigeria. Imagine if they had stayed in Canada for that 7 months . All their savings would have vanished 9 Likes 1 Share |

MicheaD: Chairman, since you are relocating permanently, just have faith that God will make a way for you. Please let me know which properties and investments you are selling before moving to Canada. I am interested, and if you're ready to sale for quick cash at a discounted price instead of waiting for a buyer who might delay payment, please me. God will bless your step of faith as you relocate. |

ednut1: What Trump did has been amazing. His threats has really sent Canada in the right direction, with regards to diversifying their economy. Unfortunately he paused the tariffs for now, which I knew he would. But kudos to Trump. 1 Like |

maternal: I agree, his actions in the last few weeks should jolt Canada to the reality that an ally can turn on you at anytime. For the US, I genuinely worry for her.... The EU is probably watching closely and getting ready to slam fines on the likes of Alphabet and FB should Trump move mad towards them. 3 Likes |

i Will speak for myself and my experience over here for the past few years. the highest level of racism i have experienced here was mostly from Indians. they see themselves as superior humans over here. at work places they connive to scheme out other nationalities. so as you come be prepared. but then different people have different experiences. maybe i am not so nice a person that's why 90% of the Indians i have come across here have exhibited awful racial behaviour

lyndaoyewole: There is nothing wrong with you That's how many of them actually behave Menacing Motherfuckerrrz Nigerians who defend them have not been at the short end of the stick 🙄 That's why they talk how they talk when we call these "pajeets' out on their fuckerry. There is still this "fan boyish" view some of them have of those guys because of the seeming "success" that they appear to have, but their yama yama ways of behaving will eventually put them up for wahala in the west as time goes on. So again, there is nothing wrong with you It's just a deluded people from a failing sheethole country with toilet/sanitary problems thinking that they are the "chosen minority" because they think they are "yt ppl pets" |

lyndaoyewole:i just heard a gist recently . Over 200 of them about it be sacked by a financial institution. The USA branch was fined billions recently and the CEO is retiring/ reg soon. The bank colour is a colour in the Nigerian flag. The company just found out that their tech staff all have a common work experience and from review of their bank they have been paying this said company. Meaning they got fake experience and reference in exchange for part of their salary. I didn’t mention name o |

Hello, Good people of this community. Anyone here who can give me an offer letter or looking for a care worker in Canada? this is important to me so I can participate in the Home care worker pilot. If needed I am ready to be a careworker in your home, for the period you wish, or if you know anyone that needs a home nanny. This would truly put a smile on my face, please just DM me. Thanks as you elevate someone. |
Maria96: 10:46am On Feb 06 |
Lovewinsatlast:no one will give a stranger online care visa job offer under normal circumstances . The care visa stuff is for Philippino women as they dominate that industry. For the few Nigerians that can afford to employ a caregiver ( able to pay minimum wage of about 30k) they would rather use it to help a family member or someone they know. Not an online stranger. 2 Likes |

How do you mean stranger? people who post vacancies on websites and then "strangers" apply and interview them what do you call that? must all employees be your family or friends? perish that mentality please. Maria96: |

Good evening house, I received my sponsorship job offer letter today and I'm still curious, is travelling now getting surer? What should be the next point of action as I have accepted and replied the job offer. Is this a positive signal? Pardon my questions i don't know much about travelling. |
ednut1(m): 6:04pm On Feb 06 |
callmeRichie:did you interview for this role? What is the role is it? And how much salary? If its a genuine offer the company would communicate next steps, if its a scam they would refer you to a local agent who will ask you to pay for processing ![]() 3 Likes |

It is very difficult to get such jobs. The process involved is very long. I employed someone in 2021 under the old pilot program, the work permit was only approved in 2024. By the time she arrived with family in Canada, I no longer need the service. Good thing it is an open work permit and she got a job with someone else. The documents involved in processing the work permit is very extensive. Some of the information needed from the employer may prevent them from employing a stranger. Lovewinsatlast: 1 Like |

Maria96:Where's the link to this or it's just a rumor that someone started from the corner of their room If you greatly dislike a group of people without even having any encounter with them, this hatred may consume you o I'm not saying they're good or bad but take people has they come, don't use a general brush on everyone, some people have bad experience with Nigerians, does it mean all Nigerians are bad ? Some also have very positive experience with Nigerians, does it mean all Nigerians are good? Take people has they come and don't let bias/hatred or dislike blur your judgement, I'm not saying you should loose guard sha More than half of the hatred that these guys are receiving is because of their population here and it's the same way they accepted you too to come here, they might be getting things wrong on some level but it doesn't warrant this much loathing Someone of a particular colour might call Indian paj*et and you might laugh 😃, just know that behind your back you're nothing but a nig*a to that same person too I know has humans we can be inherently bias but take people has they come, Canada is a multicultural country if you want to remain homogenous, maybe you should reconsider moving here 5 Likes |

I got to a construction site in calgary today and 95% of the workers are indians. They greeted me well and hailed me ![]() We cant beat them population wise and we cant beat them as a community. Last week, I went to airdrie in Alberta (10kms outside calgary) I realized houses are now the same prices as prices in calgary simply because our indian brothers have decided to gather in 3-5 families and purchase front drive homes whereas na 1 naija family dy try purchase the same house ![]() This is one of the numerous disadvantages.. but what do we do... ![]() |
