Lol... I think the lockdown didn't make things any easier. Work from might seem less stressful but definitely not fun especially for single folks. You just have to stay open minded and get involved in the activities around you as much as possible.
I wonder the activities you re talking about especially when it's winter already... It's OYO especially for the single without relatives also.... It's killing and suicidal.

When are are going to see “10 Things you need to do when you migrate to the Most sought After Country, Nigeria?”

One day, Nigeria will be the cynosure of all eyes; We shall have point based immigration for permanent residence.

Very soon, NTA will sanction America for their excesses. It won’t be long when Limousine will be Nigeria’ taxi.

The exodus of our best brains to these counties keep presenting a gloomy and bleak future if something isn’t done.

God bless Nigeria.

Mehn this ur dream sef.. Just wake up from it sharpaly

Well, it depends sha. I live in Canada too, and I have been here for some time. As a Muslim, my wife as met some wonderful people at the mosque. The difference is that their worship center is not as it is in Nigeria, and I would not advise anyone to make use of churches populated by Nigerians, or own by Nigerians, it doesn't worth it, it is still the same Nigerian mentality, of trying to shame one another based on some vanities, like the cloth you wear to church and things like that.

Hi Ligxy

Well, asides the terrible winter and the second lockdown, I'd say life is great here. Thanks.

Give up? Seeing that you were there when I was active on that thread, I strongly believe you've invested much time and energy to give up now. There's always light at the end of the tunnel, remember? I'd say hang in there. Provided it doesn't affect your day to day activities, I suggest you always keep your Canadian hustle as a side affair. You never can tell when it'll yield results. Keep your dreams alive, do your best and leave the rest to fate.

Best of luck!

Sorry... please, don't go suicidal. With time, you'll get a healthy social circle.

This is province dependent.

Ontario will not take the license from you.

They do. It's written at the bottom of the form you fill for your Ontario residents card and drivers licence. Provided you're using it to jump licence grades, it will be collected. When I was doing Ontario residents card, I already checked the box that asks if you have a foreign drivers license before I read that it will be collected. I then told them I wasn't with it and they asked me to make sure I bring it while doing my drivers licence.

You do not have to surrender your Nigerian license when you get a driver's license in Ontario.
I still have my Nigerian license with me, I took someone to get their license two days ago in Ontario and they still have their drivers license.

You cannot have a driver's license and an Ontario photo card at the same time. The reason why your license was collected was because you applied for an Ontario photo card.

It depends on the kind of job you do and your skills. There are jobs. But one could still find it hard to find the exact office job he was doing in Nigeria on landing here especially if you're not into tech.

without a degree how will you qualify for the immigration A degree alone is not enough these days. You need masters or a degree plus a diploma.

This is wrong! Its possible but very wrong
you applied for Visiting Visa not Work Visa

Why not just apply for Work Visa from your home country!
Don't because of you spoil others coming behind you!!!!
