Thank you Maryam for this video as it provides a lot of insight to people wanting to migrate to UK or Canada and I completely agree on most of your points except a few highlighted below; 1. Canada is not bigger than UK: Unless you are referring to land mass. UK is far bigger than Canada by population and GDP. UK has a population of c.67 million while Canada is c.38 million. The GDP of UK is $3.1 trillion and Canada is $1.9 trillion. 2. There are clear paths to citizenship in UK just that it takes longer - 5 or 10 year route. I agree Canada is better and the process is more matured than that of UK. Post Brexit, UK is trying to fix its immigration system and until that happens there are still options for people wanting to live and work in UK. The fact is because it's easier to migrate to UK people don't really think through their options before leaving Nigeria. Moving through studies (masters, PhD or first degree) is not a migration route as this gives you a Tier 4 visa. You will probably need to change to a Tier 2 visa which will provide route to permanent residency and citizenship. 3. I believe white collar jobs are also easier in UK than in Canada and this is only sensible because it's a bigger economy. As at December 2022, there were more than 1.2 million unfilled vacancies (white collar jobs) in the UK. Unemployment rate is 3.7% while Canada is 5%. However, UK needs a huge workforce to fill the employment deficit but doesn't have a commensurate migration system to address it. 4. Yes I agree with you that Canadian jobs pay higher than UK. GDP per capita - UK: $47K, Canada: $52K Data source: countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/canada/uk www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230106/dq230106a-eng.htm www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peoplenotinwork/unemployment In summary, it depends on your circumstances and your reasons for wanting to migrate as both countries are very good and much better than Nigeria. Good luck to all of you guys!
I lived in the UK for 8 years and live in Canada. But I have to say, Canada is way better. If your looking long term, this is the place to be. Within 2 years I got a good career Job and life has been way better than in the UK. My advice for those coming from especially Africa, try to get away from the Big crowded cities like Toronto. There are other smaller cities and towns that off3r professional jobs and the opportunities are way better. The population in most of these cities is small and aging, so there's less competition for good high paying jobs. Canada is the place to be as an immigrant right now.
Thanks for sharing.....please can you name son of these smaller cities, I'm interested in where one can easily settle( get a good professional paying job) with a family of 3
Hello Peter, Currently i just moved to UK about 2 weeks as a dependent, but I am very much interested to move to Canada, I am in my late 30s, a graduate BSc in Computer Science with over 12 years of working experience in ICT in Nigeria. my wife also work as a Senior career in UK. I have kids too. I am interested in the Express entry. please i need steps to take or how to begin the process. Kindly assist me with the basic information's and sites i can start my registration. Thank you.
I lived in a Canada for a year from living in England I have to say I do prefer Canada. I think the only thing about uk is that the currency is stronger which is better
This video is well detailed, you've said it all. For as many moving to UK recently, it is due to the fact that it is easier, and Canada can be stressful and takes lot of time to process.
Both countries are really good but whatever's best all depends on the individual & what they're looking for. For me the UK's the better option but some of my family liked Canada & others like the US
In my opinion, I still believe that am living in the best country in the world. Yes, it has taken me a while to get to where I am but am in a stable situation, am visiting Canada 🇨🇦 on holiday in April and my brother wants me to relocate permanently but I believe it's not for me and am sure my mind would be further enhanced when I go on holiday. I hope everyone gets their way in life whether it's Nigeria, the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 or Canada.
@Mohola H I don't know why you have put these extreme comments on here, I think maybe you see the name and think I share views like that, I NEVER have I! NEVER will I and I hope the owner of the RUclips account removes it. There is no need for that here am sure you can do that on your channel or other platforms.
I’m Nigerian but born in UK. Visited Canada many times and I just don’t get the hype Europe has cheaper food, more work life balance, stronger currency and better weather than Canada. I love travelling to countries from here and flights are cheaper.
Like I mentioned, this video is probably related to Nigerians with Nigerian passport. Ofcourse, with British passport you have more benefits: free Schengen area travel, no need for visa, automatic work permit with no limited hours, more work life balance….But if you are a Nigerian with just Nigerian passport in the U.K. as new immigrant, your reality is different which is probably why you may not get the hype about Canada.
Also better travelling options, more walkable towns & cities, safer roads/driving, better infrastructure & architecture, also more job & educational opportunities. Canada just has a more straight forward immigration system & gives citizenship much quicker than the UK they also are more open to immigrants which makes it a bit more attractive to some immigrants that just want to establish themselves more permanently & get a quicker start in life. Also housing in Canada tends to be larger which is another factor to some immigrants. For me though (a Jamaican born in the US moving to UK) the UK's much more attractive than either Canada or the US
@@Lando-kx6so tbh Europe in general is more attractive to ppl from the USA or Canada. It’s a whole different experience and things to prioritise compared to someone coming from Nigeria or Any other African countries…so I get you!
Thanks so much. Its so helpful. I have two brothers one processing UK and the other Canada and i can relate with the pros and cons of the two countries you discussed. The only thing i think you missed out is the weather condition of the two countries. Well done sis
My advice is that you don’t go to any of these countries with high expectations. They have similar pros and cons. What matter most is the kind of job or opportunities that comes your way. They both have high tax rates and high cost of living. Asides faster settlement, I don’t think Canada is better than the UK.
Becoming a UK Citizen is not that long. You get an Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after 5 years on skilled workers Visa which is an equivalent of Canadian Resident Permanent. You can apply for citizenship one year after getting ILR. Both countries are good provided you get a good job or business opportunity.
In CANADA it’s after 3 years of Permanent Resident permit though (That’s 2 whole years difference), Cost wise as well, U.K. application fee for all that are expensive. But yeah, both countries are good provided you get a good job.
@@itsmaryamsalam 'White collar' job is not easy in Canada. If you couldn't get it in UK, you probably won't in Canada either. They are looking for fluent and native English and French speakers with recognized university degrees. You will probably experience the same as what you did in UK. Yes the PR is easier to get but express entry is now about 481 points. You require at least Master's, 3 years White collar experience and perfect english scores. Speaking as someone who just got PR through student route with a Master's degree in Canada
Most of your assertions are valid. I'd advise anyone thinking long term and got the funds, Canada is slightly better. One thing you forgot to add perhaps is 🇬🇧 immigration laws/ policies change way too frequently; considering the Home secretary's recent propsal regarding international students. Finally, you're gorgeous 😍. Stay blessed, Maryam
This is spot on. Again when it comes to the UK the current immigration rules make it extremely difficult for you to have a clear path to citizenship and it’s by design. On the aspects of jobs in the UK, the pay is less compared to Canada for thesame field AND even if you manage to get a good job here in the UK THEY will remind you real quick that you are black and you’d probably find yourself moving from job to job. Even I myself want to JAPA to Canada from the UK 😂
I agree 100% I just felt better in Canada and I grew up in mainland Europe and study in the UK and being African makes immigration tougher in Western European countries not just in terms of the paperwork but also in terms of being assertive and appreciated as part and parcel of society. Also settling in the UK is so expensive for no good reason and it’s all done on purpose!
People generally do not move to Canada for a better job or more money. It’s all about the lifestyle change. I know Aussie citizens and the working conditions are generally better in Australia than in Canada. The pay is a third higher and the healthcare system is better in Australia. They went to Canada because they wanted the lifestyle and environment that Canada has to offer, things they could not find in Australia or the UK they have citizenship. The cost of living in Australia is expensive - more expensive that some places in Ontario. Don’t think for a minute that it’s all about finances because it isn’t at all! If it is all about money, you are better off in the UK. Comparing the UK to Canada when it comes to shopping for groceries, nearly every service-related thing costs more in Canada for poorer quality. Canada could seem perennially 10-15 years behind the curve when compared to the UK in that regard. I think it depends on where you live in each country. UK has become more expensive since Brexit. For someone in a developing country moving to Canada could be more advantageous as you can move as a PR and will need just 3 years to apply for citizenship. You also do not to pay high fees to maintain your residence permit as you would in the UK. In the end, it depends on what you want, why you are moving and what makes you happy.
Fair month. As I mentioned in one of the comments, this video is mainly for ppl coming from Nigeria or Africa with not dual citizenship, don’t mind been a bit far from home/closer to America…
You are right Love, I live in the UK and the process is disgusting Imagine you're living in London and you can't even walk into your broadband office, what you'll hear is the office is in Wales. Like how😅
What do you mean Canada is bigger country compared to the UK? You meant in terms of land mass or population? UK is ‘by far bigger’ than Canada in terms of population ( 30 million more ) and so to get your dream job might be easier in Canada because their are not a lot of competition. Having said that, each to their own. Some would prefer Canada or UK depending on the individual’s preferences.
Lived in both countries. About 10yrs in Canada. I can tell you for certain I disagree. Integration is alot easier in the UK and other European countries. Here in Canada getting a professional job means going back to school or getting certification. The 3 months professional job you said is not valid.
I agrre with you . Been to the UK twice and I must say that Canada is better than UK , though no much difference but apparently Canada is better . I'm from Nigeria though, grew up in France and currently live in France but relocating to Canada soon.
@@itsmaryamsalam that's amazing France is a very good country though in terms of health insurance, education and the likes. I feel France isn't talked about because they speak only French If she speaks English as an official language, then Canada and UK won't be better than France, that's my own view though
Awesome 👍 video. I love your sincerity and you're saying the truth nothing but the real fact. 👍I even shared your video and subscribed. Pls do more videos on these facts. Thanks dear
Well said , i Live in Canada and i don't get what people mean when they say they Lonely i think Canada is Lity Lity and full of vibes especially in the summer time. i Don't know what part of Canada you live but Canada is very very Diverse. Nice video tho
@@lilianomizu4100 I Love Canada i came here with my family when i was 11 i pretty much grew up in Canada when you get here you will see for yourself what people are saying about it not every country is perfect but everything pretty much works in canada
@@lilianomizu4100 Nurses earn in different way depending on what province but I can tell you in Canada of your a medical student your broke days are over because they pay doctors and Nurses good so that’s not a worry and Toronto is a good place but too expensive Vancouver is expensive also any big city in Canada is expensive but you can make money anywhere in Canada.
Thanks for the content If you live in Gulf then you will see 10 years is nothing to citizenship people are stuck here more than 20 years so either country is ok
The number one difference is population vs resources available. The whole population of Canada is half of UK and the whole land mass of UK is miniscule compared to Canada several UK's may be x100s before u can get one canada. There will definitely be more resources /money per person in Canada compared to Uk ,more space more land more opportunity
Since this video was published, Canada has become even harder to move to, and the jobs market is not good. If you work in healthcare or agri-food, then it's still easy, but otherwise very difficult.
I disagree on the 3rd pro for Canada. Big does not mean more opportunities. Yes, that process may not be quick but it does not pay as much as UK. Canada's big land mass comes as a disadvantage most times as it is a very cold place almost all year round, meaning you rarely have time to socialize like you will do in the UK. You can easily move around to meet friends and families but you will think it over in Canada.
@@reginaldmba2323 lol yes but even with the conversion, some tech jobs for example were still paying more in Canada. I’ve worked in both countries and I know this for a fact!
@@itsmaryamsalam I despise uk the pay sucks hands down . What we make here in America you can never make such in uk and the opportunities here in America surpassed what uk 🇬🇧 can offer
Lol, do you know that as an internationally trained Doctor/nurse you cannot work in Canada when you arrive in Canada? As for medical doctors it's almost non-existent?...these are almost one touch in the UK. So which easier to get their desired jobs are you referring to?
Thank you ma'am, this is informative. Please can you make a video on single people coming to Canada. How is getting a partner in Canada looks like. Is it easy or difficult?.
Great video. Thank you. Subscribed. I would appreciate a video that could explain the process of EE from the UK for a Nigerian, perhaps after a Masters.
Wow nice Info,u just got a new subscriber, I and my hubby has been on dis issue btwn d two countries Wich one to relocate to,he says he prefers Canada bcos of d citizenship de give on time me and am saying UK bcos d visa is easy and faster to obtain.but now I know d difference tanks alot
It's easier and faster to relocate to UK..but in the long run Canada is likely better economically generally but ur profession can also affect how much money u make in UK
The process to Canada its so long, so I advice you move to the uk from there it’s easier to relocate to your dream country, Canada Australia, USA, Germany, or other countries.
Moving to CANADA from U.K. isn’t necessarily easier as a Nigerian passport holder in the U.K. it will still be the same express entry process though. But it’s worth going to the U.K. while you wait for CANADA process
@@judithpascal1 Yes because some things are easier to certify in the U.K. for example school results which in return might make the process faster etc but just doing it from the U.K. “Isn’t a guaranteed factor for faster process”. IRCC isn’t particularly prioritising just because the person is doing it from the U.K. ooo
I don’t think Canada pays higher, we forget that 1cad is almost half a pound (0.60) so the numbers will be high. In general uk has cheaper food, clothes and rent. I am not sure about the taxes but I’m guessing lower tax in the uk. No tourism at all in Canada, I’ve friends that have never left Canada since they got there. The only place you can visit while living in Canada is probably Mexico, USA and Jamaica, while for the uk it’s extremely cheap to visit European countries. Flight price compared to Canada and uk when visiting Nigeria is double. Extreme weather. The closest country like Nigeria is still the uk, the uk is literally African 2.0. Night life in the uk in ahead. Lastly Canada seems like a really boring country.
One of the secrets of getting the Canadian visa is that they want to get people with high educational qualification into their country . Not people with liability & without educational & professional years of experience. That for me makes Canada rock & a win for me over the UK👏👏💕💕👍🏻
I have a question about the pay being lower in the UK. I also heard that Canada is expensive. If you weigh the cost of living against earning potential in both countries, which is actually a better option overall?
Am a land surveyor by profession, am finding it quite difficult finding sponsorship job to Canada from Nigeria 🇳🇬…. Most have seen demands I should be in Canada before the job , pls , isn’t Canada open for skilled work sponsorship ??
The weather in Canada is enough to put you off. What life can you have in that harsh winter? Literally scrapping snow off for half hour before work .. who wants to do that if given an option.
@@itsmaryamsalam not all provinces but majority of it is. Now don't tell me Canada is like Maldives all year around. We have relatives living in different parts of Canada and we know the reality. Again social media and internet is enough to give you a clear pic. Even nova Scotia a province with considerably less harsher winter has snow most of the winter. So, please be careful when you spread misinformation.
Integration in Canada is not easy, networking is not also that easy, getting your dream jobs takes time. Remember the background of where you are coming from is important to your success in Canada. Someone who has UK education and work experience and move to Canada has more opportunities than someone from developing countries. If you are coming as student, be prepared for the expenses and working and schooling is not easy and make sure you have enough money to sustain you .
Hey Maryam. Nice video,I learnt a lot.. thank you so much I would like to ask a question.. please reply.. if you were to choose between UK and Canada, which country would you go to? PLEASE REPLY
I don’t know so much about the U.K. apart from going for study or work visa, family sponsorship but you can check out this article for CANADA: www.visaplace.com/blog-immigration-law/occupation-welder-canada/?campaignid=14652499100&adgroupid=132497958932&matchtype=&network=g&device=m&devicemodel=&ifmobile=%5By%5D&creative=558406436113&keyword=&placement=&adposition=&kw=&cpn=14652499100&gc_id=14652499100&h_ad_id=558406436113&campaignid=14652499100&adgroupid=132497958932&creative=558406436113&matchtype=&network=g&device=m&keyword=&DSA4World2&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo-yfBhD_ARIsANr56g6KSz26M0svKlV4Xm_ribdAkZg8ay-oMQ9CxgoJzoAWuCRLovPnVcMaAvtpEALw_wcB Again, I am not an immigration agent, so I don’t have all the answers, you might need to do your own research
Saw this after BBC interviewed Tiamiyu in which he lamented the desparation to overstay as students - never intending to build our African countries🤷♂️🤣
Yes they do, for papers in d usa, is a bid hard after sch to get ur documents in d states, but if u do get ur papers is wey better than canada, cos i have lived in both countries, but if u go to canada to sch, u will definately get ur papers after sch, if you follow d right route and a lawyer, but in a nutshell if u have access to USA papers, America is d best place to live, i promise u that.

I stay in the UK from 2001. I love the UK.
Good to know. Love it for you!
How about comparing bills like house rent, council tax, water bills, electricity bills, vehicle insurance e.t.c ?
People generally do not move to Canada for a better job or more money. It’s all about the lifestyle change. I know Aussie citizens and the working conditions are generally better in Australia than in Canada. The pay is a third higher and the healthcare system is better in Australia. They went to Canada because they wanted the lifestyle and environment that Canada has to offer, things they could not find in Australia or the UK they have citizenship. The cost of living in Australia is expensive - more expensive that some places in Ontario.
Don’t think for a minute that it’s all about finances because it isn’t at all! If it is all about money, you are better off in the UK.
Comparing the UK to Canada when it comes to shopping for groceries, nearly every service-related thing costs more in Canada for poorer quality. Canada could seem perennially 10-15 years behind the curve when compared to the UK in that regard.
I think it depends on where you live in each country. UK has become more expensive since Brexit.
For someone in a developing country moving to Canada could be more advantageous as you can move as a PR and will need just 3 years to apply for citizenship. You also do not to pay high fees to maintain your residence permit as you would in the UK.
In the end, it depends on what you want, why you are moving and what makes you happy.
Fair month. As I mentioned in one of the comments, this video is mainly for ppl coming from Nigeria or Africa with not dual citizenship, don’t mind been a bit far from home/closer to America…
How can you even compare to this uk to Canada,America and Canada are compared not uk ,please
Well detailed comparison, I love it
You are right Love, I live in the UK and the process is disgusting Imagine you're living in London and you can't even walk into your broadband office, what you'll hear is the office is in Wales. Like how😅
What do you mean Canada is bigger country compared to the UK? You meant in terms of land mass or population? UK is ‘by far bigger’ than Canada in terms of population ( 30 million more ) and so to get your dream job might be easier in Canada because their are not a lot of competition. Having said that, each to their own. Some would prefer Canada or UK depending on the individual’s preferences.
Land Mass Canada is bigger. Population, the UK is bigger.
Absolutely helpful video. Thank you so much
Stumbled upon your channel today and I love it already🎉.
Looking forward to more of you vlogs.
I enjoyed this though❤😊
Thank you so much for watching
Same here 👍
Nice Video my 9ja sist
Lived in both countries. About 10yrs in Canada. I can tell you for certain I disagree. Integration is alot easier in the UK and other European countries. Here in Canada getting a professional job means going back to school or getting certification. The 3 months professional job you said is not valid.
Ok. If you say so!
A lot of jobs in UK require school/certification so I don’t get your point
10yrs is enough to go back to school follow the system how do I live in Canada for 10yrs and not focus in going back to school that’s a Lazy mind😊
I agrre with you . Been to the UK twice and I must say that Canada is better than UK , though no much difference but apparently Canada is better . I'm from Nigeria though, grew up in France and currently live in France but relocating to Canada soon.
I grew up in France too before moving to the U.K. and then Canada…!
@@itsmaryamsalam that's amazing
France is a very good country though in terms of health insurance, education and the likes. I feel France isn't talked about because they speak only French
If she speaks English as an official language, then Canada and UK won't be better than France, that's my own view though
@@SochiManson Hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@itsmaryamsalam what do you think?😂😂
@@emphasisengineering laissez votre question ici
Awesome 👍 video. I love your sincerity and you're saying the truth nothing but the real fact. 👍I even shared your video and subscribed. Pls do more videos on these facts. Thanks dear
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it
Well said , i Live in Canada and i don't get what people mean when they say they Lonely i think Canada is Lity Lity and full of vibes especially in the summer time. i Don't know what part of Canada you live but Canada is very very Diverse. Nice video tho
Bro you are not relenting in challenging any RUclipsr on this UK vs Canada 🤣
It seems you like Canada,I'm just indecisive as regards staying here in UK or relocating to Canada
@@lilianomizu4100 I Love Canada i came here with my family when i was 11 i pretty much grew up in Canada when you get here you will see for yourself what people are saying about it not every country is perfect but everything pretty much works in canada
@@kingbergtv thanks,just want to know how nurses earn and places that are good to live in
@@lilianomizu4100 Nurses earn in different way depending on what province but I can tell you in Canada of your a medical student your broke days are over because they pay doctors and Nurses good so that’s not a worry and Toronto is a good place but too expensive Vancouver is expensive also any big city in Canada is expensive but you can make money anywhere in Canada.
Thanks for the content If you live in Gulf then you will see 10 years is nothing to citizenship people are stuck here more than 20 years so either country is ok
Thanks for watching….that’s not a common story for most Nigerians though but yeah, I am sure there are some ppl with that story.
Gulf countries is a big waste of time
@@goodnessadibe1746why?
In everything CANADA is better than the UK .
I lived in both countries & I can confidently tell you this .
There is no even comparison to that ,USA and Canada are the best place to live
The number one difference is population vs resources available. The whole population of Canada is half of UK and the whole land mass of UK is miniscule compared to Canada several UK's may be x100s before u can get one canada. There will definitely be more resources /money per person in Canada compared to Uk ,more space more land more opportunity
You make such good comparisons , good job
Great Video ❤😊
Since this video was published, Canada has become even harder to move to, and the jobs market is not good. If you work in healthcare or agri-food, then it's still easy, but otherwise very difficult.
Thanks for this information
I moved from Peru to England then England to Texas and now I live in Canada for 20 years , I wish I never left Peru. I am Proud to be Peruvian.
Ok
For me o, the UK is way better!
Good for you 👍🏾
I disagree on the 3rd pro for Canada. Big does not mean more opportunities. Yes, that process may not be quick but it does not pay as much as UK. Canada's big land mass comes as a disadvantage most times as it is a very cold place almost all year round, meaning you rarely have time to socialize like you will do in the UK. You can easily move around to meet friends and families but you will think it over in Canada.
O..K
This was really helpful! Thank youuu
Thank you for watching 🥰
Very informative thank you for sharing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You are so welcome
Great insights
Thanks for Sharing
UK all the way. IF you know you know. Don't even compare pls.
Lol…what are your reasons?
@@itsmaryamsalam Currency
@@reginaldmba2323 lol yes but even with the conversion, some tech jobs for example were still paying more in Canada. I’ve worked in both countries and I know this for a fact!
@@reginaldmba2323 there's more reasons than this
@@itsmaryamsalam I despise uk the pay sucks hands down . What we make here in America you can never make such in uk and the opportunities here in America surpassed what uk 🇬🇧 can offer
Insightful. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Lol, do you know that as an internationally trained Doctor/nurse you cannot work in Canada when you arrive in Canada? As for medical doctors it's almost non-existent?...these are almost one touch in the UK. So which easier to get their desired jobs are you referring to?
My dear, forget it boils down to your personal goals/aspirations. I am not buying this Canada hype anymore. So all malams to their kettles.
Hey 👋 the medical doctor route is a bit tougher but I know someone who got it done. Nursing is easier to break into in my opinion.
Thank you ma'am, this is informative. Please can you make a video on single people coming to Canada. How is getting a partner in Canada looks like. Is it easy or difficult?.
Ok noted. I will
I'd choose Canada over and over again...
Great video. Thank you. Subscribed. I would appreciate a video that could explain the process of EE from the UK for a Nigerian, perhaps after a Masters.
Okay noted. Thank you for watching
Want to know about EE after masters in uk.really love your vlog
@@graceisola9785 video is coming this week
You just got a new subscriber! Thanks for this insightful info🤗
Awesome 👍 l enjoyed every bit of these video. You were sincere and true to your comparisons. You have gained my subscription, 👍👍
Thanks for the sub!
Educative information, thanks, dear
Thank you for watching
Wow nice Info,u just got a new subscriber, I and my hubby has been on dis issue btwn d two countries Wich one to relocate to,he says he prefers Canada bcos of d citizenship de give on time me and am saying UK bcos d visa is easy and faster to obtain.but now I know d difference tanks alot
Oh that’s great. Glad you find it helpful. Thank you for watching…
It's easier and faster to relocate to UK..but in the long run Canada is likely better economically generally but ur profession can also affect how much money u make in UK
The process to Canada its so long, so I advice you move to the uk from there it’s easier to relocate to your dream country, Canada Australia, USA, Germany, or other countries.
Moving to CANADA from U.K. isn’t necessarily easier as a Nigerian passport holder in the U.K. it will still be the same express entry process though. But it’s worth going to the U.K. while you wait for CANADA process
@@itsmaryamsalam yes it will be the same express entry process I agree but it won’t take that long unlike when you’re processing it from Nigeria.
@@judithpascal1 Yes because some things are easier to certify in the U.K. for example school results which in return might make the process faster etc but just doing it from the U.K. “Isn’t a guaranteed factor for faster process”. IRCC isn’t particularly prioritising just because the person is doing it from the U.K. ooo
You both have valid points 👌
I don’t think Canada pays higher, we forget that 1cad is almost half a pound (0.60) so the numbers will be high. In general uk has cheaper food, clothes and rent. I am not sure about the taxes but I’m guessing lower tax in the uk. No tourism at all in Canada, I’ve friends that have never left Canada since they got there. The only place you can visit while living in Canada is probably Mexico, USA and Jamaica, while for the uk it’s extremely cheap to visit European countries. Flight price compared to Canada and uk when visiting Nigeria is double. Extreme weather. The closest country like Nigeria is still the uk, the uk is literally African 2.0. Night life in the uk in ahead. Lastly Canada seems like a really boring country.
Good evening m'y sister .you are really bless.thank you so much
New subscriber 🤗 Quality information. Many thanks
Thank you for watching & subscribing 💕
@@itsmaryamsalam Can you pls send me your gmail. I would like to ask some questions. Thank you

Coming this week!
@@itsmaryamsalami support, it’s important 😅
I’d pick the UK any day😂
Good for you…
Love it
Great informative video
Glad you liked it
Thanks for this video but you didn't talk about getting an accommodation in Canada
I have a video about it - here: ruclips.net/video/MIogm24qeII/видео.html
Well detailed
God bless you my darling,you just answered all my un answered question
Thank you.. I just subscribed. Please where are you located in Canada?
A city in Ontario, why?
@@itsmaryamsalam I just sent you a Dm on Ig ma'am..
Congratulations too🎉
One of the secrets of getting the Canadian visa is that they want to get people with high educational qualification into their country . Not people with liability & without educational & professional years of experience.
That for me makes Canada rock & a win for me over the UK👏👏💕💕👍🏻
Yes oooo canada processing is long I applied as a student and 5 months has passed already still waiting for visa ,on GOD
Hello Maryam, thanks for this video
i have a question: you said there's more opportunity in Canada, is there opportunity for non-student also?
Thank u so much was just askn myself where to Canada or UK
I have a question about the pay being lower in the UK. I also heard that Canada is expensive. If you weigh the cost of living against earning potential in both countries, which is actually a better option overall?
Thanks babes
Which u think more depressing UK or Ca?
Am a land surveyor by profession, am finding it quite difficult finding sponsorship job to Canada from Nigeria 🇳🇬…. Most have seen demands I should be in Canada before the job , pls , isn’t Canada open for skilled work sponsorship ??
Right from day 1 i like Canada
The weather in Canada is enough to put you off. What life can you have in that harsh winter? Literally scrapping snow off for half hour before work .. who wants to do that if given an option.
And who told you it’s harsh in all provinces or cities like that? Don’t let your ignorance shine through. You’ve got this!
@@itsmaryamsalam not all provinces but majority of it is. Now don't tell me Canada is like Maldives all year around. We have relatives living in different parts of Canada and we know the reality. Again social media and internet is enough to give you a clear pic. Even nova Scotia a province with considerably less harsher winter has snow most of the winter. So, please be careful when you spread misinformation.
@@bglr2783 ok
Integration in Canada is not easy, networking is not also that easy, getting your dream jobs takes time.
Remember the background of where you are coming from is important to your success in Canada. Someone who has UK education and work experience and move to Canada has more opportunities than someone from developing countries.
If you are coming as student, be prepared for the expenses and working and schooling is not easy and make sure you have enough money to sustain you .
I got here first 🎉🎉🎉...The video was really helpful
Thank you for watching🥰🥰
UK and USA all the way
USA is far better than either of them -- and I'm a Brit
Interesting u decided to skip America u must understand America is not what its all cracked up to be to the world when living here good for u
Hey Maryam. Nice video,I learnt a lot.. thank you so much
I would like to ask a question.. please reply.. if you were to choose between UK and Canada, which country would you go to? PLEASE REPLY
I will pick Canada ANYTIME
@@itsmaryamsalam Maryam new sub here, please did you to Canada through school or express

Once you go to school for a particular carrier I. Canada you must get a job
Please what advice can you give to me, I have OND in welding and fabrication and I am considering to move to UK or Canada?
I don’t know so much about the U.K. apart from going for study or work visa, family sponsorship but you can check out this article for CANADA: www.visaplace.com/blog-immigration-law/occupation-welder-canada/?campaignid=14652499100&adgroupid=132497958932&matchtype=&network=g&device=m&devicemodel=&ifmobile=%5By%5D&creative=558406436113&keyword=&placement=&adposition=&kw=&cpn=14652499100&gc_id=14652499100&h_ad_id=558406436113&campaignid=14652499100&adgroupid=132497958932&creative=558406436113&matchtype=&network=g&device=m&keyword=&DSA4World2&gclid=Cj0KCQiAo-yfBhD_ARIsANr56g6KSz26M0svKlV4Xm_ribdAkZg8ay-oMQ9CxgoJzoAWuCRLovPnVcMaAvtpEALw_wcB
Again, I am not an immigration agent, so I don’t have all the answers, you might need to do your own research
You have to go back to school for you to get a Canadian experience
I prefer Canada to the UK if you Wana relocate
I agree…same
Saw this after BBC interviewed Tiamiyu in which he lamented the desparation to overstay as students - never intending to build our African countries🤷♂️🤣
Ok
Thanks for the video quite insightful.
Pls I want to know if Canada and USA has the same Cron n pro , especially if one is going for study route.
Unfortunately I can’t reply that as I’ve never lived in the USA before…
Yes they do, for papers in d usa, is a bid hard after sch to get ur documents in d states, but if u do get ur papers is wey better than canada, cos i have lived in both countries, but if u go to canada to sch, u will definately get ur papers after sch, if you follow d right route and a lawyer, but in a nutshell if u have access to USA papers, America is d best place to live, i promise u that.
USA #1 - highest pay, nicest people, best cities, coolest culture.
And guns for everybody 🔫 🔫
You are right
Schooling in Canada( tertiary! Master degree!), how many session they have? Did they have winter, summer and fall like America or not?
How about the security in both countries
wow. You are a product designer
Yes I am!
Great video! Which better for running a business?
Why did you talk of the UK and Canada without the USA? Is it easier to move from one of them to the other?
What do you mean by “Why”????
