Please house, I have a question.

My brother studied accounting for his BSc and Business administration for MSc. He currently has a visitor's visa to Canada, valid until summer 2025 and will be visiting me in Canada this summer. My status here is citizen.

We want to apply for him to study in Canada for fall 2024, we're looking at a post graduate certificate in Business analytics or Business development and sales in Algonquin college.

Can someone be kind enough to offer us some insight/advice? Can he get admission considering that he already has an MSc?

He is also in the pool for Express Entry but high crs scores these days...

Happy new year all. I didn’t want my landing gist to have part 1 & 2; hence I waited for it to be almost complete.

Our PPR took over 10months and we had less than 5 weeks to travel from when COPR was issued. Everything was a mad rush! Bought winter jackets and sweaters from Yaba market.

Flight was scheduled with Ethiopian airline on the 19th December. We were entitled to 10bags and 5 hand luggage but we had only 5bags and 1 hand luggage.

Check in and customs was a breeze as we had only one bag of food. Our bags were not weighed since we were way below our baggage allowance.

Flight from Lagos to Addis Ababa was ok,the kids behaved surprisingly nice, they watched cartoons and didn’t sleep at all. Take off was a bit scary for our youngest child as he hadn’t flown ever. Food was crappy and the kids passed on it but hubby and I ate.

About 2 hours waiting time at Addis Ababa which went by very quickly. We ate part of the snacks I had prepacked. ( Chinchin,biscuit,plantain chips). We were given priority boarding as we had kids.

Airplane used Fromm Addis Ababa to Toronto was same size howbeith newer. I was disappointed as I wanted more leg space. Food was served and the kids managed to eat a bit of the pasta. Everyone slept the whole 8 hours to Dublin.

Less than an hour at Dublin for refuelling, no one was allowed to disembark or use the toilet. We took off again, then the drama began! The kids became restless, my son cried non stop and nothin could pacify him. He was starving and I regretted not packing cereal and sandwich for him. My legs ached, and I was tired of running after the kids inthe plane. At a point I let them be and they disturbed almost everyone. Many were friendly towards them and tried to engage them. Finally the flight attendant brought them gift bags filled with toys, bricks , stickers, colour pencils and colour papers. That kept them busy for the rest of the journey.

Food was served 5 times all through but after the 3rd round, I stopped collecting as the food was bland and I was just so tired.

We landed Toronto Pearson at about 8am, I filled the landing card, proceeded to custom who asked me if I had milk or chicken. We were then directed to immigration. Lao,the queue was so lonnnng. We were separated into PR and student visa. Finally it got to our turn, not much question, asked us if we have ever been convicted and how much we have. Welcomed us to canada and directed us to were we will get our SIN.

We were done at about 12noon, claimed our baggage, dropped our declaration card and exited the building. Jumped into the TAXI straight A’s the cold hit our faces. Got to our Airbnb in less than 20mins and really loved the place.

Everyone was starving and thank God I brought complete ingredients for spaghetti. Made a quick fix using sardine and sat her tomato. Quick shower for everyone and we all slept.

The next 2 days, our body system was stilll messed up. We couldn’t do much and just kept sleeping,waking, eating and sleeping again.

By the 3rd day we were well rested and started exploring our environment, went to open our bank account and got our mobile. Did some shopping also.

We stayed in Toronto till 26th of December before we proceeded to Ottawa our final destination. We got a car and the journey was about 5 hours. We stopped over half way at the at the gas station, grabbed some panini and hot chocolate. We got to our Airbnb which was actually just bordering Gatineau. Really nice apartment. Made Eba and warmed our Egwusi.Everyone ate and slept off.

Apartment hunting started and we were getting frustrated, we had no reference, no jobs, no guarantors. Most agents were on holiday and cancelled many of the viewing bookings. Taxi was really expensive. Many of the apartments had been leased out and only February was vacant. I was almost getting depressed as the weather was way colder than in Toronto and moving around was a challenge. God showed up for us on the 31st and we got a nice 2 bedroom. No application was made, no reference was required, no pay stud. The woman just liked me and decided to favour us. Paid 1st and last month, signed the lease agreement.

School hunt starts on Thursday for myself and the kids as I do not plan working immediately.

God bless us all and may we all have a great year.

Hi, please I'd like to send you an email. Would hopefully be landing in Ottawa next month and I don't know anyone there. Would appreciate some advice. My account is new cause my other handle was banned.
