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.

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.

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

I'm from Namibia and this video makes a lot sense to me, I can relate, thanks a lot for sharing such a beautiful information

Good comparison there Maryam👍plus you're brief but well detailed!

Thank you so much for this. This is another confirmation of my decision to relocate to Canada.

Hello Sis, your video is awesome and full of reality out of your experience. Thank you so much

Absolutely helpful video. Thank you so much

Well detailed comparison, I love it

Thanks darling, best comparison between the uk and Canada that I ve ever seen❤

Very interesting Its the CANADA 🇨🇦 for me “ Thank you 🙏 so much dear

Very informative thank you for sharing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This was really helpful! Thank youuu

Canada is also diverse but not like the large Nigerian community. You did a great job

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

With the cost involved , canada is the goal oo . Long term benefits 🙌

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

Great Video ❤😊

Insightful. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this information

New subscriber 🤗 Quality information. Many thanks

Educative information, thanks, dear

Good evening m'y sister .you are really bless.thank you so much

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

Great insights

Nice Video my 9ja sist

You just got a new subscriber! Thanks for this insightful info🤗

Thanks for the information

Great informative video

When people say there is nothing in uk, I laugh and wonder. Whether Canada or Uk, you can still prosper. Find what works for you.. 😊

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.

God bless you my darling,you just answered all my un answered question

Well detailed

Thanks babes

Thanks for Sharing

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

Love it

This is so apt. Thanks so much

Great video! Which better for running a business?

I stay in the UK from 2001. I love the UK.

Please mention the cold ooo, it is a factor. UK is cold with lowest temperature of -3 to -5 degrees. Canada can be as low as -26 degrees

I got here first 🎉🎉🎉...The video was really helpful

How about comparing bills like house rent, council tax, water bills, electricity bills, vehicle insurance e.t.c ?

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.

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.

You are right

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

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?

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😅

Thank u so much was just askn myself where to Canada or 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.

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.

Right from day 1 i like Canada

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.

Thanks dear, that was an ear opener to me. But e-no easy, i want to move out seriously for a better life. How do i start please.

Schooling in Canada( tertiary! Master degree!), how many session they have? Did they have winter, summer and fall like America or not?

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?.

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

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?

I really love your video maryam, but I dnt knw if u can actually do a video on hw to relocate from uk to Canada

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 ??

How about the security in both countries

I love you personally dear❤❤💋

Thank you for this insightful video , I do have a question ,I am thinking long-term, with regards to having my family in one of these countries ,but do not really like an isolated place like my Nigerian Friend in Canada complains of, do you think it's better to move to the UK as a software engineer, if I'm already working for a foreign company in Nigeria, I probably would have access to jobs outside the country working remotely anywhere, and would come only ig offered sponsorship and work permit by a company?

Thank you.. I just subscribed. Please where are you located in Canada?

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

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.

Nice camera

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.

I'd choose Canada over and over again...

Please i need more tips about uk because i want to study there this year by God grace

Once you go to school for a particular carrier I. Canada you must get a job

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 😂

Hello sister maryam,thanks for the information but can you please make a video for studying route into Canada. Specifically I studied animal physiology and I really want to stay in the agricultural sector can you help make a video about it thanks and best regards.

Good evening,pls am thinking of relocating to either UK or Canada through study route from Nigeria and after that I stay back and work .pls I studied food science and human nutrition in Nigeria,how lucrative is D's course there(are there jobs in dt field) or do u advice that I switch to health field for my second master there if that will be more better

Hmmm wisdom..

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?

Thanks for this. Please what advise can you give to me, I have a Masters degree (Public Health) from Nigeria with about 2 years work experience on the opportunities in Canada for me. Just subscribed.

How much in approximate would it cost me to be in Canada from Nigeria?

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.

Thanks for this video but you didn't talk about getting an accommodation in Canada

Good day everyone, please I need information concerning university of Manitoba. They said you can use part time job to pay your tuition fees when you get there, can anyone on self sponsorship attending university of Manitoba share his or her experience?

In everything CANADA is better than the UK . I lived in both countries & I can confidently tell you this .

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.

Hey thank you, lm a junior developer with a year experience in ruby on rails, MERN stack , Javascript, html css bootstrap....in Canada which immigration opportunities are open for smn1 like me...l checked the govt website but ddn see much.

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.

Nice one, you just got a new subscriber Please am Vet doctor in Nigeria, I wanna move to Canada or Uk for Masters, which will be better and offer more opportunities for my field of study? Is it UK or Canada?

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎉

It’s three years in Ireland

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.
