How Nigerian Freelancers Collect Money from Canada
Landing a client in Canada is a major achievement for any Nigerian freelancer. You’ve delivered excellent work, and now it’s time to get paid. But this is often where the frustration begins. Traditional wire transfers are slow and expensive, and many payment platforms are clunky, unprofessional, or simply don’t work well between Canada and Nigeria.
You deserve a payment process that’s as professional as your work. That’s exactly why we built Cordlo. We provide a seamless, modern invoicing platform designed to help you get paid from anywhere in the world, effortlessly. Let’s show you how to receive your hard-earned Canadian Dollars without the usual headaches.
The Old Way: Why Traditional Payments Fail You
If you’ve ever used bank wires, you know the pain: confusing forms, high fees from both banks, and waiting days for the money to clear. This process is not just stressful for you; it’s inconvenient for your client. Other popular gateways can also be unreliable, with high conversion fees or sudden restrictions that leave you and your client in a difficult position. This isn’t just inefficient—it’s unprofessional.

Step 3: Send the Invoice with a Secure Payment Link
Once your invoice is ready, email it to your client directly from the Cordlo dashboard. The email contains a secure payment link. When your client clicks it, they see the professional invoice and a simple, clear option to pay by card. We’ll even notify you when they’ve viewed it.
Step 4: Your Client Pays in Seconds, You Receive Naira
Your Canadian client pays the CAD invoice with their credit or debit card, just like any other online purchase. Through our integration with trusted gateways like Paystack and Stripe, the funds are automatically converted and deposited directly into your local Nigerian bank account in Naira. It’s fast, secure, and completely seamless.
