Cameroonians Encouraged to Migrate to Canada

A Cameroonian-Canadian lawyer in civil, family, immigration and business law, Olivier Chi Nouako, has encouraged Cameroonians with work experience to migrate and seek greener pastures in Canada.

This was the substance of a public conference he organised at the Yaounde Hilton Hotel, October 18.Chi said the purpose of the conference was to inform Cameroonians of the abundant academic and work opportunities existing in Canada. He said Canada is in search of professionally experienced immigrants (those coming in to stay and work).

He advised competent Cameroonians willing to go to establish relationships with Canadians, who Chi described as friendly. He sated that a Cameroonian is one of the representatives of a Canadian Province as a Member of Parliament. "While in Canada, be ready to do work on benevolence and after a maximum of three years, you must have mastered the system and you would easily be integrated as a full-fledged worker," he stated.

Apart from the political stability being enjoyed by Canada, he said the system is organised in such a way that workers and citizens benefit from enormous advantages including free health services.

Chi dished out general information pertaining to immigration into Canada and responded to numerous questions from the audience which was made up dominantly of youths and middle aged Cameroonians.

    a cameroonian will jump at the chance of migrating even to zimbabwe or burma or even north korea! that is no longer a country. a place where it is now official that only thugs and cult members can manage the government. they should wait for the day of the armageddon!

    Sir, Not being rude but you seem ignorant as well as angry at the wrong people for your misfortune. Firstly a High Commissioner is the highest ambasadorial rank in a commonwealth country, a distinction that both cameroon and canada share, it is because of both nations links to the former british empire that this distinction exists! Secondly Canada like Cameroon is a bilibgual country, indeed the only other french/english bilingual country! Finally the head of state of Canada is Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God, Queen of Canada and The United Kingdom...Hardly the target of your anti-Francofone Rantings....I also find your longing to revert to colonial distinction worrying. People like you re anti Patriotic, i sugest you consider weather clowns like Ayamba will ever improve the lot of the people they claim to represent? I was born a cameroonian and am prepared to work for the benefit of all cameroonians, french speaking or english speaking. Seperastists like you can rot in oblivion!
