salford1: Trump to me is riding on the back of the foundations laid by Obama. The numbers he is achieving took almost 10 years to get. Another factor is that the economy has highs and lows. Obama took over in a period of lows, he resumed on a high. His current policy of fighting with friends and courting adversaries might end up biting him. Add to this his misogynistic, sexist, nepotic and racial views and the fact that Democrats who didn't come out to vote are gearing up to do so will make the mid terms something to watch 4 Likes |

Seniors in the house, please answer these questions. Can a permanent resident work in the Nigerian high commission in Canada? Does it have any effect in regards to Canadian citizenship? Does it qualify as "Canadian experience". |

^^^ Please note that Canadians are finicky about appointments. It is one thing those who come from a culture where there are always excused tend to find difficult - it is not about Nigerians but immigrants are advised to always keep to appointments and what does that mean? Planning. You become used to your calendars, you diarize and do all that. No one is really interested in stories of traffic etc. So, from the lady's story, always plan your movements. Learn how to use Google Map well and other apps as on the day of departure, there could be a detour, congestion or unexpected event. When you want to go to BC, do not input the time as CURRENT TIME on the map, insert the estimated time of arrival inside to save yourself troubles. For the train, it can be confusing especially on a busy day as a lt of people are just moving like ants but one thing is that those guys are used to the tracks. Canada uses a lot of signs to direct you. On the rail track, the No Crossing sign is there and you see where they write that it can lead to prosecution so don't use Naija sense to create a shortcut. There are cameras almost everywhere that is public and Big Brother is watching I feel pity about it because we tend to ignore caution or regulatory signs in Nigeria so we get accustomed to taking shortcuts. The cameras are not there for security alone - Canada Revenue Agency will be very happy to have this lady pay the 180 CAD. Imagine paying 50k because you are late. So basic lesson from this post. Here is the NO CROSSING sign for pedestrians. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Iyeye: Can't say for a fact but this point may apply. Devices might not operate on faster US data networks. https://www.cnet.com/news/why-chinese-smartphone-clones-may-not-be-a-good-deal-after-all/ To be on the safe side, try Samsung but even at that, Samsung pass Samsung. I have an experience where some lines would not work on your BYO device. So, be careful to test the sim on your phone at the store. There was a thread on NL on one guy questioning Tecno etc. Some abused him but he had some few truths. Your Tecno may just end up being a toy when you get to Canada |

4712A6: Which province did this happen? This is so wrong. It is always announced before the go train stops at union station that it is a criminal offence and offenders will be prosecuted. It's better to put a call to them that you will be late due to some unforseen circumstances than to cross the railway track. It is best to leave earlier and sometimes you are the one to schedule your interview time so why not choose the time that you are sure to make it. Meanwhile if it is Union, where are you crossing to when you are supposed to go underground to burst into the town. This is real JJC in action. So sorry for your loss. We learn from such experiences. 2 Likes |

4712A6:Even same phones within Canada sometimes have different variants. e.g. an unlocked LG G3 from telus may not work or work erratically on say Rogers network. Also an unlocked LG G3 from Rogers may not work on telus. It's a good idea to always go to the phone shops with a sim card or to investigate what variants of phones would work on one's network. 1 Like 1 Share |

czaratwork:I was even thinking the incident might have happened in Toronto. In Calgary, one can be issued a ticket for spitting on the floor at a train station or platform. In Calgary, there are illuminated/with audio pedestrain crossings along c-train tracks in the downtown core, but some people in a hurry try to dash across the tracks. They promply get issued over $150 ticket when caught. |

salford1: Not trying to turn this into a political thread. Provincial and federal elections are completely different. Just will win again. Also the 4 B pipeline was necessary. It was for the national interest. Justin was never anti-oilsand. That was a narrative created by western Canada which still holds hate to his dead father. 4 Likes |

lightdream: welcome in advance to western canada. check the link below for an idea of of the cost of living. Please note that BC is short for Bring Cash ...lol the good thing is there are a lot of unfulfilled jobs here and if u are willing to work, you will find work to put food on the table, pay bills and still send some home to naija. It all depends on you. Wish you luck, and google is your friend. http://www.costofliving.welcomebc.ca/ 5 Likes 4 Shares |

maternal:Anti-carbon/oil.... judging from his past statements and actions. The imposion of carbon taxes and setting tough targets to shut down coal plants. Mining the tar sand or using SAGD is carbon intensive, the tax hurts the energy industry and makes it less attractive to foreign investors. He also mentions that "Alberta needs to phase out the oil sands, but not tomorrow" in a town hall meeting..Although he later said people misunderstood him on the statement. Anyways, not to turn the thread to Liberal/NDP vs Conservatives. The pipeline is good for Alberta and the rest of Canada. More transfer payment for the have-not provinces too. 1 Like |

Hello, Would anyone be attending the planning for Canada session at Amber house GRA Ikeja ,Lagos on the 14th of June? I also would want to join any professional Nigerian immigrant network in Canada, I noticed there are a lot of Asian networks for immigrants but I am yet to see any Nigerian one. Finally ,the deluge of pre-arrival maerials from different Agencies SOPA COSTI AEIP ASIEC JVS YMCA ACCESS et al can be overwhelming, but I know it is to make me better prepared. They say networking is king in Canada, I am already applying for jobs but if you can recommend me for any technical position I would be most grateful. I am an electrical electronics engineer with a bias in communication, intending to switch to I.T .My experience has been in aviation, communication (installation of radios,VSAT and electronic communication equipment), system administration and I have worked as a maintenance engineer in a FMCG. So please any job referal would be most welcome, I've to tap into the hidden job market. Email is lummibod@yahoo.com Canadian number is +15873326193 Thanks. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Ejadike: Well it depends ob several factors like 1. Times it takes u to pass IELTS 2. How many credentials u intend to evaluate 3. Size of family and maybe other little things For me, a single person with IELTS done once and no accompanying family, It was in the range of 1.3M to 1.5M including flight ticket and minus POF. It also depends on your plans as well. Note that the cost of taking the IELTS exams and credentials evaluation changes from time to time as well. So do some research to find out about latest pricing and other things. Dont know if I answwred your questions? 1 Like 1 Share |
