A young man named Hammed A. Akande has summarized how Canada changed his life.

He completed his MSc and started his PhD, he has now become a Permanent Resident, this happened all in 3 years.

He shared the amazing testimony with friends on LinkedIn, read his post below:

On this day, four years ago, I landed in Canada for the first time.

Tbh, I had no expectations except coming here for my MSc (Full ride scholarship by Mastercard Foundation

But Canada is such a great & welcoming country, and like Ontario’s motto- it’s “Yours to discover”.

Getting a foreign degree was always my dream. I’ve been working towards that since 2012, and glad I got my dream scholarship- Mastercard.

Thank you, Mastercard Foundation for selecting me among the 6 (MSc) scholars from Africa McGill University in 2018. That email changed my life for good

I’m giving back in my capacity & paying your generosity forward. Thank you, Canada, for being a great country.
Today, I look back & thankful for everything. From completing my MSc to starting a PhD & becoming a Permanent Resident (all in 3yrs). Alhamdulilah🤲🏽 (Thank God)

I’m forever grateful to Nigeria (& esp. Osun State University for giving me a solid foundation in my career. It’s because of those baby steps that I am where I am today. Thanks to my parents, siblings & friends- if not for their support, I would probably not be here today.

If you have the dream, please work towards it, and you’ll get it- God’s grace 🙏.

My prayer to everyone planning something similar is that may all your wishes come through, and we shall celebrate you soon 🙏

God bless Nigeria, God bless Canada, God bless all.
