Canada has opened their doors to thousands of Nigerians and plans to welcome 1.45 million immigrants within the next three years. Canada is the second-largest country in the world, so it makes sense because there’s sufficient room and opportunities for immigrants.
Mind you, there are so many other countries you can relocate to easily as a Nigerian besides Canada. Depending on the purpose of travel, Nigerians can gain free entry or quickly approved visas to travel to these countries. Without further ado, let’s highlight the countries topping the list.
Australia
Australia is one of the best countries for Nigerians to settle. Home to over 24 million people, Australia continues to seek skilled labour, which makes it an excellent choice for Nigerian immigrants. Although getting an Australian visa is currently expensive, there’s no doubt you’ll get in once your visa is approved.
Singapore
Singapore offers an incredibly high quality of life which makes it easy for Nigerians to migrate and thrive. In a country of about 6 million people, you need a work permit to enter Singapore and 10 years to become a citizen. The great news is Nigerians who own startups can get an entry pass to set up their own company in the country.
Norway
Norway is famous for its promise of free education to immigrants. Little wonder Nigerians are flocking to this country through work & study routes. It’s a remotely wealthy nation that prides itself in its relaxed way of life and warm acceptance of immigrants.
Ecuador
Ecuador is one of the charming Spanish countries that are open to Nigerians. Thanks to their high quality of life and low cost of living, Nigerians can easily apply for a long-term visa that allows them to settle there permanently. Ecuador is also a fantastic place to escape if you’re looking for the cheapest country to relocate to.
Hungary
Ever heard of Budapest? It’s one of the cheapest cities in Europe and it’s in Hungary. So, if you’re looking to move to Europe on a budget, Hungary is your best bet. There are historical places to explore, and you can find food, cheap accommodation, and a decent job with ease.
Senegal
Senegal is one African country to add to your list of possible countries to migrate to. It is home to some of the best universities, and Nigerians don’t need a visa to move to Senegal. You can join over 200,000 foreigners living in Senegal to enjoy cheap food, housing, and transportation.
Switzerland
This is one of the most beautiful European countries with people who speak multiple languages, including French, German, Romansh, and Italian. Switzerland records a low rate of unemployment which is good news for immigrant Nigerians. It takes up to 10 years to become a Swiss citizen, and within that time, you can enjoy a better quality of life.
Germany
Although Nigeria is more populated than Germany, the latter still has an economy for more immigrants. Germany is an excellent choice for professionals like doctors, nurses, engineers, and software developers. But if you want to really enjoy Germany, then you’ll need to get the hang of the German Deutsch.
United Kingdom
How can we forget our colonial masters? The United Kingdom remains one of the best countries for Nigerians to find greener pastures. Having the fifth largest economy in the world, there are several cities for Nigerians to settle and thrive.
