It's so boring here too."

You get your pay every two weeks, salaries are not owed in Canada

According to Gbengene, unlike Nigeria where staff could be owed salaries for several months, that never happens in Canada. He noted that those who work in the country earn their pay every two weeks. He says employers of labour never owe salaries.

His words:

"Like here, whenever you work, you get your wages every two two weeks. You know in Nigeria, it is not really surprising to me when the employees out there are being paid maybe three, six months they haven't even gotten their salary. You can't do it here. I'm on vacation now. I'm being paid for my vacation right now."
