How to Immigrate to Canada from Nigeria
The fourth-largest country of origin for immigrants to Canada is Nigeria.
More than 15,000 Nigerians received permanent resident status in Canada in 2021.
Nigerian professionals are attracted to Canada because, to the country of economic opportunities and the sectors, it provides, including the health sector, the information and communication technology industry, the oil and gas sector, and other industries linked to research and engineering. Therefore, it is not unexpected to hear that the majority of Nigerians migrate to Canada as skilled workers.
Due to factors like their high levels of education, work experience, and English fluency, Nigerians are typically highly equipped for Canadian immigration programs. The Federal Skilled Worker Program and the Provincial Nominee Program are two well-liked routes for Nigerians to immigrate to Canada.
