Meet Canadian Employers at the Virtual Job Fair

The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador is holding a virtual immigration and job fair for Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

The virtual immigration fair will give Nigerians desiring to relocate direct access to employers hiring in their field. They will also be privileged to attend a live Immigration Program information session and ask questions directly to Immigration Officers.

Nigerians present at the fair will also learn about how to immigrate and live in Newfoundland and Labrador. The virtual event is scheduled to take place on the 25th of October, 2023.

Get a Job in Canada via the Official Job Bank

Another way to relocate to Canada from Nigeria is by visiting the official job bank. All you need do is type “Job bank” into a search engine. Click on “Temporary Foreign Workers.”

This site connects you with Canadian employers who want to recruit temporary foreign workers. You can search through the list of job postings to find the job that suits you.

The beautiful thing about being a temporary foreign worker is it gives you the right to change employers while living in Canada.

Secure a job with the Swedish Yellow Pages

Sweden is a hub for tech startups. This is as new businesses continue to open every day. Swedish Yellow Pages is a search engine for Swedish companies. This website offers a 0.5 to 1.0% response rate when you send your application.

After getting your official offer of employment from the company, you can now proceed to apply for a work visa. Your evidence of employment will convince the Swedish Migration Board that you indeed have been employed by a company.

Get an Australian job from SEEK 

Australia has visa types for highly skilled workers, specialized workers, entrepreneurs, and business owners, etc. To relocate from Nigeria, you need to visit SEEK and apply for a job.

On the SEEK website, bookmark the positions you are interested in. Draft an Australian-style CV and cover letter. Ensure that your documents are in Australian English

Get Germany’s Job Seeker Visa

If you’re a skilled worker with a degree and some professional experience, Germany’s Job Seeker Visa could be your ticket out of Nigeria. 

You’ll have six months to find a job, and if you succeed, you can convert your visa into a long-term work permit.

To get this visa, you need to have a minimum of five years of experience in your related profession. You also need to have enough financial resources to support your stay in Germany and proof that you have completed academic or vocational training.
