Case Study of A Nigerian Who Immigrated to Canada - 1 Year After

I know a man who was working for one of the top parastatals in Nigeria but chose to immigrate to Canada Last year in June.

Many of his friends thought he was out of his mind when he told them what he wanted to do. I will call him Lanre.

Lanre’s friends told him he was out of his mind to leave such a good job but he thought differently and most importantly he wanted a better life for his wife and kid.

When they got to Canada, things weren’t so easy but he loved the journey.

Here are a few things he learned to do when he got there:

1. Clean a warehouse and plow snow
2. Drive a forklift
3. Lift heavy items
4. Deliveries e.t.c

While he did these jobs, he prepared for exams and went to different interviews.

To cut the long story short, he is working now with one of the top firms in the country.

How did he make this happen? He calls his formula the 3Ps.

1. Perseverance - Always try to be better. Never settle for less. Stay enthusiastic regardless of rejections.

2. Patience - Delay is not denial. As long as you’re consistent, results will come.

3. Prayer - You need spiritual assistance.

Hard work and tough experiences will only make you stronger.

7 WAYS TO STAY MOTIVATED TO TRAVEL

Motivated people can achieve anything they set their minds to.

But how does one stay motivated, especially to travel, when you are busy working and living life while your family and friends disparage your ideas, you’re overwhelmed planning your trip, or maybe just burnt out from being on the road already?

When you plan your trips, you don’t think about the long boring hours on a bus, the delays, the annoying airports, dealing with snorers in hostel dorms, fending off tours and scammers, and all the other things that will suck the energy and joy out of your experience.

Eventually, you need to stop and recharge your batteries. To is stay in one place, watch Netflix, and relax.

Whether you’re planning a trip or already on the road, it’s important to find ways to stay motivated. Today, I want to share seven tips on how to stay motivated to travel — whether you are planning your trip or feeling a little burnt out on the road:


1. Hold yourself accountable

The best thing you can do to stay focused is to be held accountable.

Being accountable to others will help make sure that you don’t fall off the wagon.

They will help keep you focused on your goal, and the social pressure to stay on track will provide some extra motivation to follow through.

2. Devote time

Stuff always seems to come up, doesn’t it? Sure, I was planning to visit Iceland in May and then suddenly, May was here and I was busy.

Or maybe you decide today’s the day you’re going to plan your trip but then you forget you have laundry to do.

My solution? Pick a day and time you are normally not busy (i.e., on Facebook) and devote that time to planning your trip.

Make it a consistent part of your schedule and develop a habit so that it doesn’t feel like a task you “have” to do; it becomes just something you do automatically.

3. Read travel blogs

Reading about other travelers’ adventures can show you that it is easier to travel than you thought, provide advice and tips on the art of travel, and teach you about places you’ve never heard of.

One day you’ll get sick of living vicariously through others, and you’ll go out and create your own travel stories.

They will show you that yes, travel is realistic, practical, and financially possible.

4. Read travel books

After I finished Turn Right at Machu Picchu by Mark Adams, a book about his epic adventure through Peru, I was so motivated to see Peru that I ordered a guidebook to the country.

And in that same vein, be sure to read books about the destination you are visiting so you can get a deeper understanding of the place. You can’t understand the location’s present if you don’t understand its past.

Here are a few travel books to help get your inspiration flowing:

- Tracks, by Robyn Davidson
- The Caliph’s House: A Year in Casablanca, by Tahir Shah
- A Year of Living Danishly, by Helen Russell
- In A Sunburned Country, by Bill Bryson
- Looking for Transwonderland, by Noo Saro-Wiwa

5. Learn a language

Join a class and pick up a language you might use on the road. Once you’ve started learning the language, you’ll hate to waste your new skill.

And the only way to use it is to travel to where they speak it! Here are some apps and resources to help you learn:

- Duolingo
- italki
- Spanish and Go
- Rosetta Stone
- Memrise

6. Take a break

If you’ve been on the road for a while, you’ve probably burnt out a bit.

Travel isn’t always rainbows and unicorns, and spending a lot of time on the road can lead to burnout.

That’s going to sap your motivation and might even have you thinking about home.

7. Meet other travelers

Sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated if the people around you aren’t supportive of your desire to travel.

10 Questions You Should Ask If You Want to Move to Canada

If you’re intending to move to Canada, there are certain questions you need to ask yourself to ensure that you’re making the right decision.

This includes your motivations for moving as well as practicalities such as whether you have enough savings, and how you’ll support yourself once you get there.

You will want to know the ins and outs of immigrating to Canada as well as for settling in Canada before making the move.

If you’re planning to move to Canada, you should first ask yourself these questions, to make sure it’s a journey you are prepared to take:

1. Why Do You Want to Leave Your Current Country?

Perhaps your career opportunities are limited where you’re currently living, or just really want to experience life and culture in another country.

Whatever the reason, you should have clear goals in mind.

2. Where in Canada Will You Live?

Deciding where to live will be crucial to your success, and will affect your chances of finding a job, as well as how you adapt socially.

Do your research before selecting a location. You can learn more about settling in Canada and finding a province that is best suited for you!

Once you find a province you like you may want to consider the Provincial Nominee Programs.

3. How Will You Support Yourself?

If you are going to study, or want to experience Canada as a visitor, this may not apply to you, although you should still ensure you’ll have enough funds to live comfortably during your stay.

For those wishing to earn a living, you should research the job market in Canada and determine whether you will be able to find a job to support yourself using your current qualifications and skill set.

4. Are You Suitable for the Necessary Visas and Work Permits?

You may have decided on your dream job in Canada, but in order to live and work there, you’ll require a visa and work permit.

There are several options for you to immigrate to Canada and work:

Permanent Residency: For example, you may be eligible for Express Entry as a skilled worker.

Study Permit: If you are moving to Canada to study, international students may work up to 20 hours a week.

Work Permit: LMIA is a document that an employer in Canada may need to receive prior to hiring a foreign worker.

Do your homework to explore all your options. If you’re interested in learning about your eligibility you can fill out our free online questionnaire so we can learn about your unique case.

5. What’s the Cost of Living in Canada?

The cost of living in Canada varies depending on which area in Canada you will be living in.

Find out how much it costs to live in your intended area, and think about all the things you’ll have to pay for whilst there.

The cost of living is the amount of money needed to sustain a certain standard of living by affording expenses such as housing, food, taxes, and healthcare.

6. Who Will You Be Leaving Behind?

Think about your family, and the opportunities you will be leaving behind in your current country. Is it the right choice for you?

Many Canadian visa programs allow you to bring your family with you when you move to Canada. Find out which program suits our life best.

7. Have You Been Offered Job Security?

If you’ve already been offered a job in Canada, is it secure? If it’s only temporary, will your work permit allow you to find another job while you are still in Canada, or will you have to leave the country?

You should be prepared for all eventualities.

8. Can You Afford the Expense of Moving to Canada?

The cost of moving overseas can be very expensive. Calculate all your costs beforehand, and ensure you can afford all the expenses whilst still being able to comfortably live in Canada once you get there.

9. Will You Have Access to Health Care in Canada?

Find out which health care services you will have access to while in Canada, and where you will turn to if you need emergency care.

Learn more about the healthcare system in Canada for immigrants.

10. Are You Going to get Legal Assistance?

The immigration process is by no means simple. For best results, applicants often enlist the help of an immigration lawyer who knows the ins and outs of the immigration experience, and what is required to be successful.

Approved immigrants can travel to Canada as of June 21

A COPR is issued to those who have been approved by IRCC to immigrate to Canada. This means the individual has met IRCC’s program criteria, paid their fees, and passed health, security, and criminality screenings.

With a COPR, they can travel to Canada to begin their new life.

However, a total of 23,000 COPRs, according to Canadian government data, have not been able to travel to Canada since March 2020, when the Canadian government imposed coronavirus travel restrictions.

Up until today, only those who held a valid COPR issued on or before March 18, 2020 were exempt from Canada’s COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Those who got their COPR after March 18, 2020 could only come to Canada if they met one of Canada’s other travel exemptions or were a resident of the United States and were moving to Canada to settle permanently.

COPRs are valid for up to one year. They are tied to the applicant’s passport and their immigration medical examination.

Many individuals have been unable to travel to Canada due to coronavirus disruptions or because they do not fall under one of Canada’s travel restrictions.

This has caused their COPR to expire. They will not need to go through the immigration process again, however they will need IRCC to reissue a new valid COPR to enable them to travel to Canada.

How to pack with just a carry-on suitcase -

Packing light for carry-on only is an incredibly liberating habit to get into.

Doing so will not only allow you to avoid those nasty checked-baggage fees, it will also save you precious minutes at the baggage carousel and give you peace of mind knowing where your belongings are at all times.

While the decision to ditch the checked bag has many benefits, it also requires sacrifice and a fair bit of planning.

1. Choose The Right Bag -

Packing for carry-on only begins with choosing the right bag. First, check your airline’s website for size restrictions, and then choose a bag that complies.

2. Bring Versatile Clothing -

Cut down on space and weight by bringing articles of clothing that can be used for more than one purpose.

3. Roll Your Clothes -

Rather than folding them, rolling your clothes will optimize the space in your bag and help keep them wrinkle-free.

Additionally, the rolling method will make things easy to find without having to unpack your entire bag!

4. Plan For Laundry -

If you’re going to be away from home for more days than you have outfits, plan on doing a load of laundry at your destination.

Check and see if your accommodation has washers or a pick up and delivery laundry service, or simply map the nearest laundromat!

5. Buy At Your Destination -

There’s no rule that says you have to take everything you’ll need with you!

If you know you’ll be able to purchase items such as deodorant, toothpaste, or in the case of rain, a travel umbrella at your destination, then do so!

This is an especially good tip if your packing routine includes liquids.

Given airline restrictions on the amount of liquids allowed in the cabin, it can definitely pay to bring only the bare necessities on the flight, and then pick up products such as shampoo and conditioner, body wash, and contact solution at your destination.

Best Travel Tips

1. Be Flexible -

We always plan for delays and try not to get upset when things inevitably go wrong. Patience is extremely important when traveling!

2. Make a List -

About a week or so before each trip, I make a mental list of items I don’t want to forget — which I WILL forget if I don’t write them down. I’ve learned that when I think of something, I need to write it down.

3. Learn Common Phrases of the Local Language -

A simple “Please,” “Thank you,” and “I’m sorry” in the local language goes a long way. I also like to learn the word for beer, but that’s just me.

4. Pre-plan Your Outfits -

I’m a lazy, last-minute packer, so I’ve spent too many trips with all black or all grey outfits because I didn’t plan my outfits before packing. I look back at photos and wish I had put more effort into packing.

5. Put Electronics, Medications, Toothbrush, and an Extra Pair of Underwear in Your Carry-on -

A few important items should always go in your carry-on. A swimsuit is also a good idea if you are going on a beach vacation.

You can buy most of these things if your bag gets lost, but having them in your carry-on will save you money and time if your luggage gets lost in transit.

6. Stay Hydrated on Planes -

I know it’s fun to get drunk at 30,000 feet, but it’s also much easier to get dehydrated. Staying hydrated — especially on long-haul flights — makes it easier to get over jet lag too.

7. Beware of Free Public WIFI -

I always try to avoid logging into bank accounts or entering any passwords while I’m using free public WIFI at a place like an airport.

I’m not as strict about it once I’ve gotten to my hotel, especially if they have a password for their wifi.

8. Book Early for Cheap Flights -

Flights are always the first thing I book when planning a trip — sometimes I do this nearly a year in advance!

For the most part, the earlier you book, the better price you will get. Airfare rarely goes down in price unless there is a sale (or an airline pricing error).

9. Keep an Open Mind -

Don’t judge other customs. You are a visitor. Be respectful.

10. Separate Your Sources of Money -

Don’t keep all of your cash and cards in one spot. I usually hide some cash and a back up credit/bank card in a separate bag — not the same bag as my wallet.

GET INSPIRED TO TRAVEL

A Dutch proverb goes “He who is outside his door has the hardest part of his journey behind him.”

Planning a trip and being on the road is a lot easier than you think. It’s the decision to take that step out the door that is the hardest part.

It requires the most change. You’re leaving your old life behind for a new one. I know what it is like because I made the same decision when I started.

But you shouldn’t let fear hold you back.
