E50: Olufemiloye thinks you shouldn't be desperate when immigrating to Canada

The past few weeks, probably months, have been an interesting one for international students looking to immigrate to Canada for their studies.

Nothing is as it seems.

And while this can leave you feeling panicked. And tempted to do anything to get into the country before the "doors close on you," Olufemiloye thinks otherwise.

Olu moved to Canada as an international student over nine years ago, and has since dedicated himself to helping people find their way to Canada. Legally!

He joined me on The Newcomers Podcast to chat about moving to Canada before japa (Nigerian slang for ‘to migrate’) became japa. We also talked about:

* Three plans you MUST have in place before immigrating as an international student

* The downstream effects of the Canadian system of governance on international students such as:

* The school in Atlantic Canada that took in so many students they had to start taking lectures in a cinema hall

* Tips for international students looking to move to Canada

* Why you should immigrate with a clear plan of action, and more.

Folks, I get it. Things look crazy right now. But be kind to yourselves. Look before you jump.
