Baiser: You can, if you meet the requirements: 1) Meet the minimum age to drive in the Province you are in, have at least one year driving experience and also clear a background check 2) Your drivers license has to be Non GDL 3) Your car must be 10 years or less 4) Register your vehicle for commercial use 5) Get a commercial insurance which would cost more and other requirements as may be needed. If you are able to shop and deliver groceries, you can look into Instacart which in my opinion is better. 3 Likes |

jjohndoe83: This post is very informative and has put everything in perspective for all still considering whether to move or not. The fact that you put those figures (5500 after tax) is everything. We've always heard 'you'll survive, you'll survive' but what is 'survive' to one person may not be for another. Your post clears the air. Thanks so much. But I keep wondering why we are so secretive about what we earn (I mean the numbers). We don't necessarily have to say what we earn presently, telling us what you earned as a new immigrant working survival jobs will help push people still unsure to make the right decision. Jjohndoe, surely, u are going higher IJN. This stage is a stepping stone to greater heights for ur family. 25 Likes |

egobetatoday:any body that is serious about migration does not need other peoples opinion or earnings to decide. Most of the information is on google. Survival jobs on average get you 1900 to 2100 cad a month( its not hidden information). People dont like to share those details because they dont have to because of privacy or not to be seen as showing off. Nigeria is not going to get better, think about the future of your kids or unborn. Japa if you can 15 Likes |

Thanks for the response on my last question. Is there any service canada in the airport. so i can get my SIN there ? is there any number to call? If not, how strict is the quarantine law, can i drive to service canada and get my SIN, then go to my residence and begin my quarantine. I just need to get the SIN quickly |

And with modesty and decency, your expenses might not take more than $3000 depending on the size of your family. With a family of 3, my expenses were always below $2500 monthly. jjohndoe83: 5 Likes |

I couldn't even go work from Nigeria even if i've been working from home for the past year because my company doesn't pay taxes there (According to my manager) I cant even work for an american company without a work visa unless there were already in Canada 3 Likes 1 Share |

I am assuming your intent isn't to make a "wash" of me. There is no dispute in the fact that peoples circumstances would always differ and fingers will never be equal. The post was basically to encourage whoever intends to come over and also to give a clearer picture of what finances might look like. It is common sense for a newcomer to be modest with expenses and it doesn't necessarily imply one would perpetually remain in that state. Surely, things would get better with time. If you read between the lines, you will observe that my tenses were in the past but that was actually my reality when I just arrived and I believe it's fairly reasonable for a newcomer. ![]() AnthonyAk: 14 Likes |
