There are several legal pathways for Nigerians to obtain permanent residency in Europe,Asia,Africa,South America,Australia and North America .Here are six ways to obtain legal stay:

-Work permit-Permanent residency
-Asylum
-Graduate student-permanent residency
-Marriage
-Landed immigrant
-Citizenship by Investment

I was able to get my permanent residency through the student route in Canada. I graduated and had to obtain 1 year of work experience before I was able to file for permanent residence.

Living illegally in any country can make your life a living hell and you will always be looking over your shoulders and subject to blackmail when you find jobs that pay under the table.

It is important to choose a country which makes obtaining a permanent residency easy for foreigners. And not make the mistake of spending millions of naira on countries that like to do chop and clean mouth with your tuition and other money you invested in the country, only to make it near impossible to obtain legal papers to stay there permanently. The two countries that are most friendly to immigration currently are Canada and Australia, unfortunately they are out of reach financially for most people intending to migrate and have stricter requirements..

I'm studying History and international Studies here in Naija. And I'm planning to further my studies in either Australia or Canada as I heard that they're more prospects of succeeding in my field of study, especially in Australia. Do you think I have any hope of getting gainful employment after studying in any of these countries, say Canada where you are?

10 years ago things were different.
I’m talking about now.
To even stay 10 years in U.K. now after studying is war.
So many obstacles
Easiest now is marriage.

Peave82:

Actually that’s not true.
Yes you can get by marrying a British citizenship but there are other routes too.
I got my percent residency after 10years and i didn’t marry anyone to do it.
They just need you to be truthful and submit the correct documentation that’s all.

RuudVanNisteroy:

USA,Canada,Italy,Japan,,USA,.

How many USA? UK is the 7th country

babakb:


Indeed, Nigerians are very selfish, they don't care about the negative consequences of this Akata nonsense, that's why I the stringent visa rules on Nigerians.

The process is pretty simply. Present all the documents they requested , and if you don't have the finances don't forge a bank statement, get a rich friend or relative to transfer money to your , or get a bank staff to manipulate the number in your s, they will find out.

RuudVanNisteroy:

That is why you need to get a port of a G7 country. Nigerian port don cast.

How many Nigerians earn more than 36 million naira annually let alone have it somewhere to purchase a citizenship? Those aren't your regular folks and those who have such money know what to do and can pay the like of Henley and Partners to do the work.

RuudVanNisteroy:

I forgot to add that in. For example you can buy a Botswana citizenship for $93,000 dollars. Their port is visa free to UK,Ireland,Hong Kong,Singapore and many other countries. Many fantastically corrupt Nigerian politicians use their loot to buy citizenship of countries that offers visa free travel around the world.

Mean dats huge sum of f money

Skymoore1004:
Which Canada? Nigerians that have 81% student visa rejection rate for Canada visa?

Which U.K.? You don hear person wey get pr in U.K. after studying? 90% leave the country after studies

Maybe Australia o

Or Ghana hahaha

You're just formulating statistics without facts..

Try doing your research thoroughly before misleading people here

Marriage is serious business and should be about
Love and compatibility not documents but that’s just my opinion.
I know i only only got my PR this 2020 and it’s worth it.Best of luck.

People that can afford this don’t need even need the citizenship or port. Wetin concern dangote with citizenship? Somethings get level o, it’s only appealing to us because we have not gotten to that standard yet.

Someone like adenuga in his banana island paradise no need port. He just gets 10 years visa , buy yacht & stay abroad till his satisfied. Come back to Nigeria where everyone dey call am “sir” & keep making billions

Someone else was suggesting obtaining Botswana citizenship for US$93,000. I was just offering a different perspective.

Cmeo:


Chai! See someone who possibly has not been to any or so much country saying Nigeria is one of the worst place to live.

Change your perception about Nigeria and begin to see the opportunities that lies in it

Lol.. Motivational speaker, he doesn't need to travel to understand living conditions of other human beings, thanks to the internet we have access to information at the tap of a button..

The main purpose of this thread was for people abroad to share how they got their permanent residence/citizenship, however, what I'm mostly reading here is a QnA session of how to immigrate, blah blah blah.

Hmmm

Mind your business

So what if it is 81% refusal, it's because Nigerians choose to be fraudulent during these applications.

It still doesn't change the fact that more than 7k Nigerians went to Canada for studies, it could have been more if only they were not trying to take short cut

Skymoore1004:

I'm done with you.

From saying I made wrong claims to blaming fraud. Abeg just dey your dey
