Plz i want to know if there is any way i can get someone to help me
get out of my country. I will stay with him and work for him/her till
I finish paying for all the expences made. Plz, I need reliable
people.
Countries like america, london, england, spain, canada or switzerland.
i'll like to work in an advance country because there is no job here
in my country (nigeria). The person will take care of everything
including my documents and the flight and accommodation but I'll pay
when i get there. Plz I will need a reliable person. Thanks.

Dear LeoBeno, 

Here are several ways to immigrate. 

Finding a Sponsor
=================
As mentioned before, it is not a good idea to do what you suggest.
This creates dependency in another human being who might be abusive
towards you. The best thing, is to seek employment according to your
skills, or to try and immigrate through the different immigration
programmes of the countries you mentioned.

If you're looking for an AuPair (Nanny) job, there are special
conditions and visas, that also provide you with accomodation and
flight, but on the other hand, you usually cannot change your visa
status easily afterwards, and this might be problematic.
See the Nanny Network:

For different work-related sites, for different skills, you could see:

For a specific list of IT related sites, see: 
http://directory.google.com/Top/Business/Information_Technology/Employment/?il=1
(it is easier to find an employer who would sponsor you if you have IT
pprofession)


United States
=============
How to immigrate and work in the United States? 

There are several ways, as the US Embassy in Nigeria explains:
<http://abuja.usembassy.gov/wwwhcoim.html> 

The Diversity Lottery enables people from your country to immigrate to
the United States:
<http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/divlott.htm> 

You should follow carefully the instructions in the State Department's
page, when you apply next year:
<http://www.travel.state.gov/dv2005.html> 

You could also try to apply for fellowships that will enable you to
study in the US, funded by the US government:
<http://abuja.usembassy.gov/wwwhgrants.html> 


Immigration to the United Kingdom
=================================
The United Kingdom also accepts immigrants, when they are skilled, or
sometimes also under other conditions.

Immigration information on the UK
<http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/> 

One programme is the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme, that enables
you to immigrate because of your skills (for example, IT skills):
<http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/default.asp?pageID=2757> 

Another option is to try to apply to be a domestic worker. You have to
be very careful if you choose this option. As I commented to you
elsewhere, this is very risky and there are many stories of abuse of
domestic workers, especially from Africa:

Canada 
======
Canada has an immigration programme - both for skilled individuals, or
through each province. You could read more about it here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.html 

If you only want to work temporarily in Canada, here's information for you: 
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.html 


Switzerland
===========
Finally, Switzerland is one of the most difficult countries to immigrate to. 

Here is the address of the Swiss Embassy in Nigeria: 
http://www.eda.admin.ch/repadd/g/home/emb/land124.html
It also has no Website. 

Here is the information on the various permits you could apply for:

I hope this helps. Please contact me if you need any clarifications
before you tip/rate the answer.

Thanks, that was great but I will still like to get more sites.

leobeno-ga,

A note of caution on offering to "stay with him and work for him/her till
I finish paying for all the expences made.":

Although it is difficult to ascertain your precise situation from this
distance, there are many documented horror stories of foreigners who
will do anything to get to the U.S. being victimized by unscrupulous
people who wish only to take advantage of them. Make sure that if you
offer to "work off" your passage to the U.S. or other country that you
have signed doduments from the person you do business with outlining
exactly the terms you agree to. Otherwise, you may end up in the U.S.
working for someone for years with little or no pay, a virtual slave.

Under no circumstances should you surrender your identification
documents or your only copies of the agreement to any person(s) who
you are soley depending on for passage to the U.S. Leave a copy of
anything you sign with a friend in your country before you leave, just
in case.

I wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,

omniscientbeing-ga
