Thanks for the information, I just came across your channel today, its really nice. Pls can u use a minute to look into this my path ... I am a biomedical scientist (medical laboratory scientist in Nigeria here, I applied for visiting visa last yr, this is 6 months now am waiting for their response, I have a cousin there in Canada that I want to stay with prior to when I get job, he told me that when I get there, that he will connect me to an immigration lawyer that we can pay up to 2million to get the LImA job for me. Pls ma, am I making mistake in any form because the way u explained this is really creating fear in me . thank you

[@larryonyango4288]

I like ua truth...i term it not bitter 'cause it's not worth freezing to death in a foreign land just because one wanted a better life when even the legal requirements aren't favourable! Thank u for being an eye-opener to many potential immigrants!

[@WarChild260]

In this day and age people should do research before making such a drastic decision. The Canadian job market is not easy as it is for people who are already legally able to work in Canada

[@kagwiRM]

It's the hard truth. I have been in Saskatchewan for the past 3 months and no LMIA job yet. I thank God I now have a driver's licence. I'm keeping the faith and trusting God for a job. And, yes, I'm a firm believer in staying legal in any country. So I shall wait until I can get a work permit to legally work in Canada. Whereas I sold my car, my house is intact and I can always go back to my home country and try again. Thank you Funke for this candid video. I pray you get more subcribers to your channel.

[@burddiesocial]

@funkesuyi what are the legal ways to apply for a job while on visiting visa. From my understanding you are not prohibited to apply for a job while you are visiting.

[@FunkeSuyi]

approaching certain employers , and coming down with skills that are high in demand

[@richardpaali7422]

I have Ghanaian licence, what's the other necessary documents do I need to attach my licence before moving to Canada as a visitor

[@rosebatista8193]

How come this video was posted 3 months ago and you didn't speak of the ongoing opening until February 2025 for people coming on a visitor visa and can legally apply for a job? I would have loved if you would have talked about it in the context that you're talking about.

[@FunkeSuyi]

Hi Rose, I guess you are new to my channel, this video was repurposed. Posted twice last year

[@debfundaodu5104]

Good morning Mrs Suyi, I must commend you are doing a great job and God will reward you bountifully. Please I need you to guide me on this issue: I have all the requirements for MPNP and also connection of a family, I've applied for EOI and already in the MPNP pool. But I am ineligible for express entry due to my age(41). My FSW score is 64 out of 67 that can get me into the pool so this hinder me from getting EE number and Job Verification Code. Please can I still be nominated in Manitoba without EE eligibility and then use the certificate of nomination to open EE profile or not ma. Please I need your urgent advice on this thanks and God bless you.

[@FunkeSuyi]

PNP program is an immigration pathway . hopefully you can invited to apply- given a nomination certificate and then you can use the cert to open an express entry profile.

[@debfundaodu5104]

Thanks so much for your response, God bless you richly.

[@a.r1832]

Anyone who may try to do so may think again sista. Enough said.

I agree but it’s important to be well informed

When i moved to Canada in 2009 we didnt have such channels. Now i see them popping up everywhere. Come to Canada in 2 days type of channels. Im like wow! 2 days? Did i miss anything?😮😮

[@FunkeSuyi]

The hustle is real🫣

[@olawumiolorunkoya]

Thanks for this crystal truth. Just be prepared, well informed and have options. I read about someone who came into Canada via the Express Entry route, but didn't stay in Canada up to the no of years in Canada as required, this obviously will affect him in getting his Citizenship. So most times, Its less of the route but more of my earlier points (information and plans i.e. options)

[@FunkeSuyi]

Totally agree

Always tell the truth, those who unsubscribed from your channel over the truth would learn the hard way, as did Emeka. This idea of glamorizing running out of Nigeria, "Japa", is delusional and stupid. By the way, Immigration agents watch these videos, so they will change the types of question they ask. The best practice is to do things the right way -- stay in Nigeria or obtain the proper means of emigrating out of Nigeria. Anyone one over 30 years old and trying to "Japa" is a fool for ever.
