Most popular ways to come to Canada from Nigeria

Here are some of the most popular pathways for individuals from Nigeria to come to Canada:

  1. Express Entry System: The Express Entry system manages the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Candidates are assessed based on factors like age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and more. If selected, candidates receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residency.

  2. Study Permits: Many Nigerians come to Canada as international students. Studying in Canada can lead to various opportunities, including the possibility of obtaining a post-graduation work permit and eventually applying for permanent residency through pathways like the Canadian Experience Class.

  3. Family Sponsorship: If you have family members who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents, they may be able to sponsor you for permanent residency in Canada.

  4. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs): Canadian provinces and territories have their own nomination programs that allow them to select immigrants who meet their specific labor market and economic needs. If nominated, you can apply for permanent residency through a PNP stream.

  5. Work Permits: If you have a job offer from a Canadian employer, you can apply for a work permit. Gaining Canadian work experience can also enhance your chances of obtaining permanent residency through pathways like the Canadian Experience Class.

  6. Refugee and Asylum Seekers: In some cases, individuals may come to Canada as refugees or asylum seekers due to well-founded fears of persecution in their home country.

  7. International Experience Canada (IEC): The IEC program allows young people from certain countries, including Nigeria, to work and travel in Canada for up to two years.

  8. Start-up Visa: If you have an innovative business idea and the support of a designated Canadian investor group, you may be eligible for the Start-up Visa program, which can lead to permanent residency.
