A Nigerian lady working as a flight attendant in Canada has shared details about how she secured the job, the requirements involved, and her earnings during the first year. Her revelations have sparked discussions on social media.
Job Requirements and Qualifications
Identified on TikTok as @senatorwunmi, the lady explained that being a Canadian citizen is not mandatory for most airlines. She stated, 'You don't have to be a Canadian for most airlines. You just have to have a valid visa or a PR (permanent residence), and there's a special visa you can get for the US if you're not Canadian.' She also clarified that attending flight school was not necessary to obtain the position.
Salary and Financial Considerations
Regarding her pay, she disclosed, 'I must also mention that the pay is not the best, so this is perfect as a second job. For my first year, I think I made like $30,000 for the whole year.' She added, 'If you're a Nigerian and you have lots of bills, this will not pay those bills. This is the perfect second job.'
Work Routine and Travel
The flight attendant works for a regional airline in Canada, typically operating only two legs per day. Her video was captioned, 'Come to work with me as a Canadian flight attendant who works for a regional airline. 2 legs only.' She also noted that the opinions shared are solely hers and do not represent her employer, urging viewers to check each company's specific requirements.
Social Media Reactions
The video garnered attention, with many users commenting. Joy said, 'First time seeing your video. You are doing the job I love so much. I have to follow you and check other videos. You are blessed ma and I love the way you answer the questions.' Shanu Jamgbadi asked, 'Very interesting vlog. Please hope egusi and other Nigerian food stuff are not expensive in Canada.'
