Wetin person eye no go see.
Na so I take enter one chance.

I was coming from work on Friday, when I met this Indian guy at the bus station. We got talking and some brief introduction about what we do for a living and all. He asked for my number, saying he may be able to connect me with his boss who seem to be looking for Electrical Engineers. We exchanged numbers actually. He said he would get back to me over the weekend.

I was a bit delighted, and was thinking maybe my miracle don dey load. . Na so I holla am for Saturday evening. He called me back and said he spoke with his boss and he said he would need to know me first before anything can be done. Therefore, I should meet with him(the Indian guy) tomorrow(Sunday) at 7pm as that is the only free time in his schedule. Lol.

To cut the long story short, na so I go meet this guy for one McDonalds on McLaughlin. To my greatest dismay, the guy begin yarn opata about building Pipeline. Pipeline? In short he was introducing a form of MLM or some Investment scheme.

I dey look the guy head like say make I cut am. This guy chose the wrong client. If na for Lagos, I know wetin I suppose do you. I just sitdown listen well as he dey quote Robert Kiyosaki et al. After the whole drama, I was even expecting him to buy me a snack or something. The guy dey ask stupid questions. He was surprised to hear I pay $550 as rent and he thought my shoes are very nice. Poor Indian guy.

I guess my miracle never load finish.

Mire222:


Sent you an email. You're the best. Thanks!

Lol... ... maternal, jeez ...

I don't know if this has been responded to. Just catching up with the thread but just to let you know that ballerz contact at roadsafety is no longer able to assist.
I know this because I tried contacting him myself regarding the same issue and that's what he replied.

justwise:


You are missing the point here, you did not ask them to contact you, people are allowed to pm each but when people as question openly here rather than giving an answer here you asked that person to contact or pm you for an answer..that is questionable and that was the case in question here.

Thanks for sharing this here. I remember reading this story somewhere and was terrified. That was one of the reasons I started this thread. There is nothing as good as researching and planning ahead. Even better, here on nairaland, we have the luxury of contacting people (fellow country members) who's had first hand experience. At least, when you are making the move, you know what to prepare for, plan ahead, not get into trouble and have short cuts.

On this note, I will like to appreciate every single one of you, who have opened your heart to share your personal experiences. You will never know the number of people (families) you have encouraged, improved their lives, guided to make the correct decision.
May God shower his abundant blessings on you and open up doors of favour for you in Canada!

May Canada be green for us as we gain wisdom!!

@ballerz pls help us ask your friend about his ICAN to CPA. How many papers he wrote to get the CPA so that we can compare both and decide which route will be d best.

Good day Virtual Fam. I know we have discussed telephone bill, hydro and some other bills at different times. My thought- Is it possible for our seniors to list and put bill estimates per month in their diff areas, provinces? I feel it will give a clearer pic & help one way or another.
Break down

Monthly bills - Gas, Bus, Uber, Lau Lau, Mortgage, Car Finance. All dependent on you. [/color]

House Rent =[color=#006600] 2 bedroom basement/Condo 900 - 1700. Ideally, you can get 2bedroom for 1100/1200. If you share with a correct person, it comes to 550/600. Mostly bills are inclusive. Check Kjiji to get an idea . You can rent it and then get a partner on Kjiji

Car insurance per car = Depends on your class of License. If you hold a G it could range from 170 - 200. if you hold a G2, could be about 200 - 300. All dependent on what you have covered. THere is 3rd Party to comprehensive

Phone bills - Chatr - 25 - 50. WIND - 45 - 70, BELL, Rogers, Fido Telus - 80 - 105. All depends on what you want. Iphone 8 is out and Ipone X is on the way. Note 8 too is hot in the market. Spend this money

Wifi n land line = 70 (If wifi only, combined with landline and premium TV could be as high as 170 if going with BELL (You can use style get quote from them when you chat with an agent)

Feeding for individual/family per month = 200. Can get to- 400 (If u dey chop like wobia, runs away)

School fees/daycare/pre school = School is virtually free. Public and Catholic schools

After school if applicable - Dunno. Children leave school around 3pm. They do 9- 3pm. SOme schools have embedded daycare to keep them till when you close from work

Hydro - Depends on how you run it.
Water bill - Depends on how you use it
