Seyi Adeboye, a Nigerian man who generated $5 million (over N6 billion) in revenue for a multinational company, has become a Canadian citizen and shared eight major achievements from his journey since relocating from Nigeria in 2019.
From MasterCard Scholarship to Canadian Citizenship
According to his LinkedIn post, Seyi's journey began with the MasterCard Foundation Scholarship in 2019. He arrived in Canada in August 2019 and completed his master's degree in 2021. After graduation, he worked with multinational companies, where his excellent performance brought in approximately $5 million in revenue for one of the companies.
His sister joined him in Canada in 2022 and has since become a permanent resident. Seyi started his Doctor of Medicine program in 2023 and is now in his final year. He got married in May 2025, with his parents and family traveling to Canada for the occasion. In April 2026, he passed the United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 1.
Reactions to His Achievements
In his post, Seyi wrote: 'It’s been over a year since I became a citizen of Canada. It all started with bagging the prestigious MasterCard Foundation Scholarship in 2019. I arrived Canada in August 2019. Completed my master’s degree in 2021. I worked with multinational companies after graduation where I performed excellently bringing in about 5 million dollars in revenue to one of the companies. My sister came to join me in Canada in 2022, and now a permanent resident. I started my Doctor of Medicine program in 2023, and now in my final year. Hard to believe where the time went. I got married in May 2025 to my beautiful wife and my parents and family traveled to Canada to be part of my big day. I attempted the United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 1 and passed in April 2026. It’s been a journey in this country and I am happy to call Canada home just like Nigeria has been home since birth. Happy Canada Day. God bless our country.'
