How to relocate to Canada from Nigeria

Relocating to Canada from Nigeria primarily involves applying through one of three highly favored pathways: the Express Entry (Permanent Residency), the Study Route (Study Permit), or the Job Offer (Work Permit) programs.

1. Express Entry (Permanent Residency)Express Entry manages applications for three federal economic immigration programs. It awards points based on your age, education, work experience, and language skills (English/French).The Process: Create an online profile in the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Portal. If you score above the minimum required points in a draw, you will receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for PR.Requirements: You will need to take an official language test (e.g., IELTS) and have your educational credentials assessed by an agency like WES.

2. The Study RouteMany Nigerians use the student pathway as it allows you to gain a Canadian education and transition to a work permit and permanent residency later.The Process: Apply for admission to a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Once accepted, apply for a Study Permit.Requirements: You must prove you have enough funds to cover tuition and living expenses, and show strong ties to Nigeria.

3. Work Permits; Job Offers You can move to Canada for work if you secure a direct job offer from a Canadian employer.The Process: Search for jobs on the Job Bank and apply. If hired, your employer may need to secure a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove no Canadian was available for the job, which you will then use to apply for a work visa.General Requirements & CostsProof of Funds: You must prove you have sufficient settlement funds. For a single applicant, this is currently set at over CAD $15,000 (with amounts varying for dependents).Police and Medical checks: You will need a Nigerian police clearance certificate and a medical exam from an IRCC-approved panel physician.
