Sequel to my landing gist above,

ENCOURAGEMENT POST

This is just to encourage those of us still in the immigration process not to give up.. u can read up on my landing gist on this thread.

Sequel to my last update here, myself and my wife and kid landed in July 2021. Prior to our arrival my wife got a job offer around March 2021 with one of the big banks ( the whole interview process was conducted online from Nigeria). A major reason she got the job was because she told them she had her PPR but we could not land due to boarder closure at that time. The bank waited till the boarder was opened around June for fully vaccinated migrants.

She resumed work two weeks after we landed, it was a work from home role. I intensified my job search, applied to over a hundred companies and after several interviews with HR and Hiring Managers no job offer. I even started looking for customer service jobs, had an interview with one of the coys, my interviewer was a Ghanian, during the interview he encouraged me not to take the CS job saying that my qualifications and experience was above that role. He told me to be patient that I would get something good. So I signed up to the Acces employment job program ( a 1 week course on employment and interview skills for the Canada job market). Acces is a govt sponsored employment program to help immigrants transition into the Canadian job market.

A week after the end of the course, I applied for several roles in various coys and I eventually got a interview slot with an IT coy via Acces as an operations analyst with a pay of $20. During the interview process, the interviewers were impressed and of course with God's grace, they offered me a higher tole that was paying $38 per hour. I started this role on the first of October 2021 (3 months after I landed).

After I got the job offer, we immediately registered our child to the government day care centre ( I was practically baby sitting for those 3 months while my wife was working although she was working from home).

To cut the long story short, One month into my contract job I got 3 different permanent job offers ( 1 big four accounting firm, 2 big banks). I resigned my contract employment and resumed with one of the big banks. All these offers came within the month of October.

7 months down the line, we have purchased our own house and my wife has changed jobs after getting a much better offer.

Some lessons during the recruitment process:
1. Nothing like 2:1 required
2. Nothing like medical tests
3. Nothing like who do you know or who sent you.
4. Nothing like age limit.
5. Majority of the roles didn't even require a master's degree, your experience was enough.
6. You may not get your preferred role immediately you land but with time, u ll get your preferred role.

This is a country that stills gives my family an excess of $2,500 every month (free child day care worth $1,400, child benefits $692 per month, and other free benefits that just comes into your account HST etc).

The Crux of the matter is that:
1. Migration is not for everyone.
2. If u have chosen to migrate esp to Canada, please be patient with the process, don't give up, trust me the grass is greener on this side.
3. You can do the whole process yourself, u don't need to pay any agent. All the information u need is on this page.


Shalom!!!

This issue is made worst by the blood thirsty greedy poverty ridden set of people called agents.

For example a landlord wants to let out his house for 200k and he gives it to an agent. (Just this one apartment is that enviroment e.g Ojota )
This agent will inform his agent friend about the vacancy who will in turn inform other agents.

All this agents will add some cut to the original amount when informing an innocent person who wants to rent.


By the time the info trickles down it has gotten to about 400k. On the amout they will still charge agreement and damages. for an apartment of 200k original price.


I was a victim too, but fortunately for me before i paid. I met the landlord who later gave me the original price and insisted that is the amount I should pay.

The landlord is like a father and a family to me today.

Does he repair other phones as well?

peteregwu:


Why don't you go to computer village and visit slot maybe they can do it. Although I don't know if they do repair xiaomi phones, I have done my samsung there before and they did a very good job. Give it a try.

genius43:


Because that was unnecessary. You can say Mi(Xiaomi is the name of the thread not Redmi) users.

Some of us here use more than a brand so what does that make of your classification?

Your experience level and the nature of work you offer to the clients will determine your charges.
Currently, i charge from 100,000 if the client is Nigerian, and $450 for foreigners. These are my minimum charges per month.

I don't charge per day or week.

You may watch some of my videos on YouTube for tips that could help.

Seun:
This is an open and shut case of infidelity. His wife knows that he's a serial cheat, and worse, she knows that everyone knows, which means that they won't respect her if she decides to stay with him. She cannot forgive him after all this publicity. RIP to this man's marriage.

Fahrenhite:
I'm from Benin Republic, if you like we can hookup. Will be going there this December too.

RennyKitty:
To others who are hoping to get Sponsored jobs too. Please let me share a few tips that might help.
1. Download the CV app and register duly and make every experience be it internship or volunteer jobs count. Also be very sure of the referees you will be using for your CV cos they will be contacted before you can be issued your offer letter when you eventually get the job. Also I would advise that you download a sample CV in your job field and follow the templates. Your CV matters a lot and is almost like the master key that will unlock every other doors Of your career progression.
2. After you have successfully built a good CV, good on Apps like Indeed, TotalJobs, Glassdoor and NHS websites and register. Then upload your CV. Some of these websites have assessments that you would be needing to complete and indeed even gives the option to write a cover letter. That’s like a golden opportunity to sell yourself. Please do notices that.
3. Now in order to avoid applying to multiple job openings that you are qualified for but can’t get because they don’t have Tier 2 sponsorship license. You can go to Gov.uk and check the lengthy list of licensed sponsors. Write the employers that fit in your field then go back to Indeed and the other apps and just input the names. It will for sure bring out available job openings and you start sending in your applications.
4. In my case I made it a point of duty at a point to apply to 10jobs in a day. Yes it was stressful and at some point I gave up and trust me that was when I got the call. Matter of fact I I did 2 interviews in one day and got the both jobs. At some point i felt I was wasting time and it seemed almost impossible considering my level of education and all even my sister told me to give up but God showed up.
5. While waiting you can get your Naric assessments ready as it lasts for a lifetime and you would need it for English proficiency or better still do IELTS exams. To avoid any form of delay after getting your CoS
You can also do your TB tests as people are finding it so difficult to book test dates and the result is Valid for just 6 months And of course except you lose focus you would have gotten a headway around the Job issue before the expiration. The only problem here is just that you would be needing a UK address while filling the form.
You will also be needing a police certificate but you can easily get that at Alagbon and you can’t apply for it pre employment because it is only valid for 3 months and
6. lastly and most importantly get your funds ready. A lot of these employers are not ready to pay for anything. They even see the CoS as a huge favor which sadly is in this part of the world. So you need to get your funds ready CoS agencies are “bombarding” them with applications but I think they just stretch out to select random applications here and there. So once they see you are dragging your matter, they move on to the next eligible candidate.
Let opportunities meet you prepared at all times. Especially since it’s Japa season and everyone is looking for a way to legitimately escape this Buhari’s wahala and secret achievements� Please I’m open to more hindsights as I still have a lot of people who want to try this visa route too.
God will see us all through ��
