Thanks for this video, Marina. It is good to know that my over 15years experience will not go to waste when I move and I don’t have to start from the beginning. Also grateful for telling us the difference between Admin Officer in Nigeria and Admin Assistant in Canada.
This is a great relief Marina. It's been very discouraging for me to migrate to Canada thinking that my masters degree & 20+ years work experience will just go in the drain & start working from entry or odd jobs & do another masters degree in Canada. Thank you once more for letting me know that my foreign experience & education is still valuable.
Dear sister Marina, thank you so much for this. With this video you have shown me the right thing to do. I really appreciate may Almighty God bless you and your family more and more.
Thanks Marina. This is one of your most valuable videos yet! And I have watched majority of them 98%. The most valuable points to me: career skills mapping (and the very concise example you used to explain what it is), research, and getting a career coach. Also the mention of Dr. Olubamiji's Career Competitiveness workshop (heard it first today). Many thanks.
Thank you Marina. I have been following you for a while now. I am a lecturer in nigeria with PhD and 12 years teaching and research experience in zoology. I was told it so hard for foreign trained lecturers to transition to an academic position in canada. Your input is highly needed. I am currently an Associate Prof. And landing in calgary soon
There are transferable skills that lectures have like research skills, data collection, analysis skills, Instructional design and learning experience design skills etc, just look for roles that have your transferable skills, tailor your resume and go for it
Thank you for this video. It' s a very good analysis that will help in the career choice. I would like if you make a video on having a job and going to school at the same time, how to manage and how job and school make a good career. Grateful for the advices.
Good evening Marina. You are a blessing to humanity. Keep up the good work. I pray that God Almighty will continue to enrich you with His divine grace and blessings. Amen.
Informative "info". Well done Marina. Honestly, I like your videos. So mature and beautiful to watch. Please which camera do you use for your filming and video production?
Good morning Marina, Thank you so much this information. I am glad I came across this video at this time. I just landed in Canada as an international student. I have a concern regarding my program of study. I have a Diploma in social development and HND in Human resource management but the agent whom I paid for admission ended up securing an admission in Business for me. I decided to go for it just so I can come into Canada first. Now I am considering changing my program to a post graduate diploma in human resources management or even switching from business to a Diploma in Human resource management rather than continuing the business program. My experience back then in Nigeria is insurance management and lastly Administrative role. Kindly advice. I have from now till 9th of January 2023 to begin classes. Your response will be highly appreciated. Thanks
My name is Gift. Thanks for your video. I worked as a secretary in the bank for 13 years I Nigeria. I recently got an admission in canada to study Business Management as a Post graduate course. My first degree is Office Information management in a Nigerian University. Pls what would my career path be when I eventually starts working in canada
It will be hard to determine that without have a conversation about your long term goals. If you want a consultation, you an book some time on my calendar. the link is in the description box. All the best!
Good content... On the Administrative Assistant role, it depends on the organization. Like in some government organizations, their Administrative Assistant have bachelor to master degree, and they do lots of HR, Finance, Compensation, etc
Canada also needs more people because Canadians are not having children so the economy needs immigrants to keep their country running. Things were not like this in 08 when we moved there. Now things are more open for immigrants.
Hi Marina, Pls I need your input on my career path. I have been teaching English Language for the past 8years in schools, I have a bachelor’s degree in English Education, and I am actually landing in Saskatoon in less than 2months. I actually want to continue in the path of an English as a second language(ESL) tutor but I don’t feel like going into schools anymore. Is this my choice career a good one in Saskatoon, is it high in demand? What would you advice I do,in terms of developing skills in my career choice, or what certifications can I get in my career choice, I have tried networking on LinkedIn with those in my career path but it doesn’t seem fruitful or am not doing the right thing yet
I offer personalized consultation sessions for people who are interested. if you want, please send me an email and i will send you a link to my calendar to book some time. Thanks
I have a national diploma(ND) in accounting and i am thinking of going for some accounting certifications so as to help get an accounting related job in accounting/bookkeeping. Please what do u think? Another question is; When filling educational qualification online(canada) wat category does National diploma(Nigeria) fall under in canada?
An ND will be considered a post secondary diploma. Accounting is a sought after profession so yes, you can get accounting jobs with the courses. However, if you want to rise to the top of the career, then you may consider a CPA down the road to access some top accounting jobs
Hello marina...I studied international law and diplomacy as my Bsc and I'm really finding it hard to get a programme for a graduate certificate course in Canada Pls advise me Thank you
My husband is a HR professional, we landed 3 weeks ago and the job search hasn’t been bad so far…but wondering if he necessarily has to write any HR certification exams in order to land a good job…. I intend to transition into BA…I’ll be enrolling for the training in a few weeks…any advice will be nice
If he already has HR experience, it may not be immediately necessary to take any courses. But if he wants to learn about Canadian labour laws and practices, then some short courses will help. For you, please check out the conversation I had with a BA trainer and make sure you are taking the training with people who will provide support down the line. All the best!
Please I am told that professional like nurses who were trained outside Canada are not likely to get licensed when they get there. It said that those professionals would require to start schooling all over again. Could please help to clarify this?
Hello Marina,very insightful video.many thanks.I am a pharmacist looking to migrate to canada.considering I will need to do a couple of exams before licensure,what field/area do you advice I work in while studying for my exams?You response will be greatly appreciated
Pharmacists are in high demand in Canada. Depending on the province you are going to, you may be able to work as a pharmacy assistant before you complete the process. All the best!
I recently learnt about the NKE requirement to get into the HR body. I am considering putting in for the business diploma course with speciality in HR with Saskatchewan polytechnic online for 2 yrs (When I land in a couple of weeks from now)while I get an admin assistant / customer service job because I do not have HR experience. What's your take on this route? What will you rather have me do?
The NKE is required to get the CPHR designation. It is a nice to have and not an absolute must have seeing that you will be fresh in HR. The HR diploma with sask polytechnic qualifies for the NKE Waiver which means that if you complete the diploma, the NKE will be waived for you. You will be better off completing the diploma and getting entry level HR jobs. If admin is a short term goal, then that is fine as well.
Thank you for this video Marina. Please I'd like to know if the PHRi certification offered by the Human Resource Certification Institute is recognised in Canada and if would it improve my chances of landing HR roles.
Depending on the province you go to, the certification you have may be an equivalent or remove some of the steps for you to make CPHR faster. You will need to contact the member association in the province you are headed and ask them. All the best!
Take one step at a time and figure out what you want. It is okay to not have everything figured out. Some of us pivoted as we went along so take it easy. Figure one day out and take it from there. You will be fine.
Helo marina. Thank you for this great content. I want to relocate to Canada through Manitoba provincial nomination as a skilled worker in social and community development worker. I have a BSC in Economics and I have been in the teaching for over 10 yrs but I don't have a certification in education. Outside I have an experience in community development during my NYSC days and I've been organising hands on skill trainings for teenagers. My question is do I need to modify my CV to suit social and community development worker since one of the criteria is having a degree in a social science course? Pls advice I really want to get my facts right before applying for MPNP. Thanks.
Thanks for the video sis. I Would like you to advise me as i will be landing in a couple of months to Manitoba. I did a 1st degree in Cell Biology and Genetics, 2nd degree in Environmental management and i am currently working in a bank. Banking for me currenty is just a means to an end here in Nigeria. CAn i go fully into Environmental management (working in places that has to do with pollution, climate change, Health and Safety etc) or working as an embryologist in a fertility clinic. How demanding is the market for the two courses or can i just land and continue in the banking industry (though i have no certification in banking related courses). Thank you sis
You will need to look into what the market for these professions are like in Manitoba. What applies in one province my not apply in another. You may need to refresh your science education to get a job in that area
Good evening, Mrs. Esiri! I'm pleased to meet you, please how may I take the first steps here in Lagos,Nigeria, regarding application for a new job. I'd been teaching the French language, for 14 years. I have a PGD in Mass Communication, with the hope to get further education, (precisely a Master's degree) in the country of focus. Please, I need your advice! Thank you ma'am.
Hello, If you are looking to come to Canada as an international student, the first step will be finding the school that offers the program f your choice and fits your budget A good place to start the search will be www.educanada.ca, all the best!
Is it possible to get a Job offer in Saskatchewan before applying for PR in the financial sector, if it is, how do I go about it? or it is better to just go in for the express entry option without the job offer.
Please want to know the possibilities of getting a job has a pastor in Canada. I and my family should be landing in Saskatoon by the middle of the year. Thank you.
Hello, I have a degree in political science in Nigeria and want to move to Canada for post graduate training, I have an interest in human resources as a profession but not much experience as I am just finishing NYSC in an admin role. I am doing lots of research online but would like your advice on the type of postgraduate training to go for? Would you recommend a diploma in human resources, I found a nice one at Winnipeg university. Or would you recommend waiting and going for a masters in human resources?
@@MARINAESIRI thanks for your reply, it's very refreshing to see someone speaking on this especially from a fellow Nigerians point of view. From my past few weeks of searching I don't think there is anyone else doing what you are doing from our perspective so it's definitely unique ☺️ and very much appreciated.
@@MARINAESIRI I would like to ask further if you don't mind, from my knowledge, a postgraduate certificate is less than a Pgdip which is less than MSc (in terms of academic startification). However when I search online for postgraduate Diploma courses, I keep seeing courses offered that use the term post graduate certificate and it's quite a number. Which made me curious thinking are they equivalent in the Canadian setting. Is it an ubiquitous term, postgraduate certificate? Or is it uniquely different from a postgraduate diploma? Thanks.
@@growithjoy pg certificate and pg diploma are basically the same thing but certificate considered better but it doesn’t really matter. If you have money for a masters go for it
Thanks for this information., Great content. I am sorry for putting this out here, but I don't know how to send a DM. How about Wolo? She's not been posting contents on her channel. I hope she is ok, I'm really worried. I first met you on her channel, that's why i feel you will have info. I'm really sorry to bother you
Wolo is fine, she put an announcement on Instagram that she had a baby, that's probably why she is on break. She is on Instagram - @canadainfohub you can try sending a message there as well. Thanks for checking
Hi Marina, this content came at the right time. I am in my final semester of MBA and have over 10 years banking experience in Niigeria. I subscribed to your channels in 2020 and always watched your contents which helped me a lot in my Canada journey. I was told to get customer service rep job bcos I might not be able to get a skilled job bcos of my lack of a Canadian experience.. I will like to pursue my career as a business analyst and maybe later transition to HR. what would you advice for me to do to get my dream job as a business analyst
Please discard that advice. You can get a job as a skilled professional even without Canadian experience. It is a function of your transferable skills and competencies. Please check out the live session I had with a BA trainer and contact her. You will be well on your way to making a good income/career with BA.
Thank you so much Marina. Can you help me with this question of mine? Am a Quantity Surveyor in Nigeria with over 10years experience. As a Professional course, I was told becoming a member of Canadian institute of Quantity Surveyor was key. But with this video, I want to ask if it will affect relocation for me since am not a member of the CIQS?
@@MARINAESIRI Thank you so much for giving time and attention to questions asked. Yes am looking at it . Preparing for the ielts as we speak. But divergent information makes it confusing, seeing that I would want to practice in my field of study (Quantity Surveying) when I migrate to Canada. Is Canadian experience a must for me and will it affect my migration? Age-wise, will be 40years old this year. Thinking of the PNP route too because of it
Thank you Marina for this! God bless you. What is your suggestion for someone who studied agriculture, has experience in banking and will like to switch to Agriculture here in Canada?
@@MARINAESIRI thank you Marina, I am actually in Saskatchewan at the moment, but most of the Agricultural roles I find require that i have some work experience in the agric sector.
Do you already have social work experience? If you have no experience, it is a bachelor's degree you need. You may be able to get away with a diploma if you have previous social work education and experience.
Hello Marina. My name is Thompson from Nigeria planning to relocate to Canada to continue my studies. I got admission for a 2-year Master’s program last year Fall, and started remotely while waiting for my Visa. Regrettably, my visa was denied and I couldn't defer due to the school policy. To the glory of God, my study permit reapplication was approved on the 30th of May 2022 after completing my first year remotely; however, my school is threatening to withdraw my admission because I got a 'C' in a course. Now, I wish to change my program to a 1-year certification course from a college, but trying to be careful concerning its implication on my status as a student and the 3-year PGWP. Please, I humbly seek for advice and guidance.
Thanks for this video, Marina. It is good to know that my over 15years experience will not go to waste when I move and I don’t have to start from the beginning. Also grateful for telling us the difference between Admin Officer in Nigeria and Admin Assistant in Canada.

Please discard that advice. You can get a job as a skilled professional even without Canadian experience. It is a function of your transferable skills and competencies. Please check out the live session I had with a BA trainer and contact her. You will be well on your way to making a good income/career with BA.
Thanks alot Marina
Thank you so much Marina. Can you help me with this question of mine? Am a Quantity Surveyor in Nigeria with over 10years experience. As a Professional course, I was told becoming a member of Canadian institute of Quantity Surveyor was key. But with this video, I want to ask if it will affect relocation for me since am not a member of the CIQS?
@Ewenniwe Henry-eze, i dont understand the question. Are you already in the process of relocating to Canada? Please clarify
@@MARINAESIRI Thank you so much for giving time and attention to questions asked. Yes am looking at it . Preparing for the ielts as we speak. But divergent information makes it confusing, seeing that I would want to practice in my field of study (Quantity Surveying) when I migrate to Canada.
Is Canadian experience a must for me and will it affect my migration?
Age-wise, will be 40years old this year. Thinking of the PNP route too because of it
Please how can massage therapist spread their tents
That's an in-demand profession Where would you want to spread to?
Happy to hear that massage therapy is an in-demand profession in Canada not just in some provinces
I haven’t been here in a while🥺 i feel horrible
Awww, happy to have you back. How have you been?
Thank you Marina for this! God bless you. What is your suggestion for someone who studied agriculture, has experience in banking and will like to switch to Agriculture here in Canada?
Amen! You should be considering a province like Saskatchewan where Agriculture is big. It is a very lucrative field with many prospects.
@@MARINAESIRI thank you Marina, I am actually in Saskatchewan at the moment, but most of the Agricultural roles I find require that i have some work experience in the agric sector.

I love ur content 😍 I'm planning on study social work diploma in Canada soon
What's ur take on social work
Do you already have social work experience? If you have no experience, it is a bachelor's degree you need. You may be able to get away with a diploma if you have previous social work education and experience.
I have no experience
Planning to study social work diploma
But how is the job
Market for social workers in Canada
Hello Marina. My name is Thompson from Nigeria planning to relocate to Canada to continue my studies.
I got admission for a 2-year Master’s program last year Fall, and started remotely while waiting for my Visa. Regrettably, my visa was denied and I couldn't defer due to the school policy.
To the glory of God, my study permit reapplication was approved on the 30th of May 2022 after completing my first year remotely; however, my school is threatening to withdraw my admission because I got a 'C' in a course.
Now, I wish to change my program to a 1-year certification course from a college, but trying to be careful concerning its implication on my status as a student and the 3-year PGWP.
Please, I humbly seek for advice and guidance.
hi, I sent a mail to your mail asking for advice about my proposed plan for 2023, please I will be happy for your response.
I will get to my emails as soon as i can. Thanks for your patience!!
Hi Marian, please I sent you an email, waiting for your reply please 🙏
Great video, thanks Marina
Glad to hear that!
