The Canadian government has
condemned the report that it made a request for one million Nigerians to
relocate to the country.
The High Commission of
Canada to Nigeria faulted the report in a series of tweets on Tuesday following
a report titled, “Canada’s Prime Minister begs Nigeria President for one
million immigrants.”
In its reaction, the
Canadian embassy urged Nigerians not to fall for the report, saying it was too
good to be true.
It, however, directed
Nigerians to its website for authentic information about travelling to Canada
adding that no fewer than 4,200 Nigerians were approved for permanent residency
in Canada in 2017.
It explained that the
figure was almost double the number of the permanent residency approved in the
year prior, stressing that Nigerians in Canada make important contributions to
both countries.
