Now, one of the biggest sources of new permanent residents and citizens of Canada in 2021 is Nigeria. The country has managed to position itself in one of the top 5 countries worldwide and Canada knows this. In fact, the Minister of Immigration, Canada has always said that he wants to see more Nigerians, Indians, Chinese among others get easier access to immigrate. The reasons for this are not far-fetched. Apart from bringing with them a pool of skilled workers, many of them start up businesses that further boost the economy of the country. Do you know that thousands of Nigerians are in\u00a0Tech Hub, Financial Services, Wholesale & Distribution, Hydroelectric, Food & Beverage, Aerospace, Education industries among others?
\nEven, many Nigerians are now setting up establishments like the following in areas;1. SMK African Food \u2013 Kitchener 2. African Queen \u2013 Ottawa 3. Akin\u2019s Int. Foods \u2013 Winnipeg 4. Uncle Seth, Scarborough \u2013 Toronto 5. African Food General \u2013 Winnipeg 6. Folak African Foods \u2013 Brampton 7. TK’s Authentic African Products \u2013 Calgary 8. African Choice Market \u2013 Calgary among others.
\nSome Relevant Statistics
\nApart from the last Canadian census in 2016 which showed above 50,000 Nigerians inhabiting the country, the recent developments in the Canadian immigration trends suggest that the figure would soon double into the hundred of thousands as a result of the mass resignation and relocation to the country by Nigerians. The 2020 immigration update showed that more than 18,000 Nigerians moved into Canada from 2018 and has even increased last year when the immigrants reached a whooping 12,500 even due to the post-pandemic restrictions. This year would definitely have a larger amount chunking out of the country.
\nThe Game Plan
\nCanada is still increasing its immigration levels to support its post-pandemic economic recovery. As a result, more Nigerians like Indians and the other nationalities are going to be entering the company\u2019s borders in mass from not only as permanent residents but also as international students and visitors. This year\u2019s target is almost 432,000 immigrants and it will rise to over 450,000 immigrants by 2024. The targets may rise again when IRCC announces its Immigration Levels Plan 2023-2025 by November 1 of this year.The Reasons for the Numbers
\nCanada relies heavily on immigration to support its economy as seen in more than 40 years now. If you did not know, the largest demography of working age Canadians who are baby boomers, is quickly reaching their retirement ages of 65 which concerns the government. In fact, by 2030, it is expected that nine million Canadians will have retired from the current workforce. Thus, Canada needs to refill that population and more within now and that time. Here, Nigerians are expected to contribute their own quota of vibrant skilled workers and entrepreneurs.
\nCurrent Labour Shortages
\nThat is not the only problem apparently. Statistics Canada informs us that the country is facing a labour shortage as the unemployment rate stands at a historic 4.9% with over one million job vacancies. To combat the effects of the shortage, more Canadians who would like to see a more ambitious Immigration Levels Plan. Also, many Nigerians are aware of this and are now applying in their thousands to relocate to areas struck with such alarming vacancies. Soon, Canada will be introducing a new pathway for skilled workers to migrate easily.Some Relocation Metrics
\nThere is a significant number of Nigerians living in the Greater Toronto Area. There has also been a steady increase in the number of Nigerians living in the western cities of Canada, such as Calgary, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. The 2016 census statistics gives a glimpse of the populous areas inhabited by Nigerians in Canada; they include Ontario with 26,560, Alberta having 13,010, Manitoba with 3,860, Quebec holding 2,820, British Columbia having 2,615, Saskatchewan inhabiting 1,715, among others. This shows Nigerians move more to these six regions than other provinces and are in their thousands now than even the statistics portrays.
\nAttracting young Nigerian talents
\nEven with high immigration targets, Canada knows that they have the biggest problem to tackle in the coming years which is the increment of youths in the population. Since, many Canadians are no longer giving birth to children and the rate of natural population growth (births minus deaths) in Canada declines rapidly than historical rates with the number of children per woman at only 1.4. in 2020.Iit is only expected that a country like Nigeria and India which both have more youths than aging population will be the destination to source for such vibrant skilled talents. There is a sure way for Nigerians to relocate to Canada, learn about it now.Favourable inflationary numbers
\nWise Nigerians have done their statistics too. They know that 2022 is the year to move to Canada. Nigeria is suffering from record-high inflation rate of 15.4% as broadcasted in November 2021 due to surging global crude oil prices, increase in demand for consumer goods, supply chain disruption, and a host of stimulus packages by the central bank. Though, other countries are facing similar issue but Canada\u2019s inflation rate surged to an 18-year high of 4.7% in November 2021 which is still lower to that of Nigeria; hence it becomes a safe haven for our population to move to, earn and even save or invest their monies.
\nThe Bait for Nigerians
\nCanada is blessed with huge landmass of almost 10 times that of Nigeria\u2019s and a very small population to occupy the space. Notably, Canada\u2019s landmass is estimated at 9.98 million km square, compared to Nigeria\u2019s 923,768km square. Also, its population is estimated at 38.01 million according to the World Bank, while Nigeria\u2019s population at 206.1 million, represents more than 5 times that of Canada. Due to the abundance of the land and a significantly small population, Canada is open to accepting migrants like Nigerians into the country in order to help spur economic growth.More Canadian Relief
\nThe Canadian government recently announced that it will be employing students to take up some jobs, especially remote work for Nigerians and other foreign nationals. According to the government, it is looking to employ students who are ready to make a few extra bucks by working remotely. The immigration minister also highlighted; \u201cWe have a wide variety of jobs from coast to coast, in diverse fields, such as administration, agriculture, communications, enforcement, finance, IT, policy, and many more.\u201d Get your dream job in Canada and be invited to move in just few weeks or months by starting your processing now
\nBad Economy at Home
\nMany economic problems face Nigerians in their motherland among which are; banditry, insurgency, expensive FX to pay for foreign education, etc. According to an article by Nairametrics, Nigerians spent a hefty sum of $28 billion in 10 years patronizing foreign schools, a development caused as a result of the infrastructural problem in the Nigerian educational sector, recurrent strike actions, and many other prevailing issues in the Nigerian academic sector. Knowing how much Canadian immigration would cost can really help Nigerians save towards it.Decisions of Many Nigerians
\nSo many Nigerians are now willing to relocate to Canada to seek greener pastures as they resign massively from their local workplaces. Lots of them now want to live, study and work abroad in place of staying back in their own country. They want to benefit from the good life, employment opportunities and quality education along with the other benefits like good healthcare system, child support services, insurance cover, banking and mortgage support that the Canadian government provides to permanent residents and Canadian citizens. In fact, they do not mind paying through thick and thin to leave Nigeria and start their lives afresh in the maple country.
