Autos / Freight/ Shipping Company, Calgary - Lagos by Oladiran0o7: 8:05pm On Jun 21, 2017
Hello nairalanders, my mum's birthday is in September, I would like to give her a surprise birthday gift, a car. I am wondering if there are any shiiping/ freight companies that ship from Calgary, Canada to Lagos, Nigeria.
I did some research but I could only find companies in Toronto and Vancouver.

All inputs will be appreciated,
Thank you.

It was for the best. If you're in Lagos, go to a General hospital close to you. Ask for the days when they hold clinic for SS patients and go and see for yourself what these warriors and their parents are going through. Trust me, it is not something you will wish for your worst enemy.

I doubt if you can use IVF to determine the genotype of your baby. At best, they will check the genotype of the embryo before implanting it into you. If by chance they are all sicklers, they will be discarded. How many of your unborn children to you want to waste before getting your desired result? Believe me, I don't think its worth all the stress and expenses. My only grouse with you and your ex was allowing the relationship to go further. You should have both called it off before investing so much energy and emotions into it.


They can find out the genotype through genetic test if they go through IVF. Genetic testing provides lot of information/ abnormalities.

Career / Re: Is Dentistry Better Than Medicine by Oladiran0o7: 1:41pm On Apr 08, 2017
jessiecah:
Seriously I'll advise you go with medicine if you are going to work in Nigeria. Nigerians are not really concerned about their dental health only when they have serious cavities that need drilling and removal that they see a dentist. But if you are to practice in the US, dentistry will be a good choice considering the fact that some dentists are paid higher than GP's and you also have the luxury of specializing in maxillofacial surgery. As for the duration of study, they both take the same no of years and both offer the same courses until the 4th or 5th year. So there's no debate as to which is more tasking. Ask God to guide you into making the right decision

Dentists have regulated working hours, doctors don't.

The difference in weather between 2cities..Lagos and Regina is 66 celcius apart without taking real feel into consideration. One country is extremely cold while the other is hot. i'ts so cold here in Regina that if you spit, your spit freezes before it touches the ground.

Be honest with your applications, CIC might find out and that will lead to denial

cliitex:
From what I have read so far, it seems US and Canada immigration are intertwined. Does it mean that if one is refused a US visa, the person will definitely not be granted a Canadian visa? What are the chances of Canada issuing you a (tourist) visa especially when you have unresolved issues with the US embassy?
Travel / Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Oladiran0o7: 2:39pm On Mar 19, 2017
I noticed you live in Regina, i live here too. I would like to make niaja frnds if you dont mind.


Most of the question have been answered but i would add a little more.

I landed in calgary, alberta. I had a choice between Manitoba and Alberta. Friends in manitoba and family in Alberta. I went the family route. You should be out of the airport in 30min or less. I dont remember of any immigration rule to follow. You would be asked for your copr and passport.
An overzealous offficer could ask for your pof.
cash was in bank draft and notes...both US dollars. You would deposit same in your new bank account.

The school system...kids dont really start school till age 4. You can put your child between 3-4 in a pre-school(not free)...3hrs per day of instructions, but it really helps communication skills. Once over 4, you can register them in schools free of charge if i remember. Schools registration are usually done through the board of education and schools are chosen based on where you live. Areas and schools are zoned.

If you making less than a certain amount...your child could get up to a certain amount per month as benefit(this would help with toys, diapers, feeding e.t.c...not sure of d exact amount as it varies with income.

Yes you can combine work and taking care of kids..minders, nanniez, daycare are available but pricey. For daycare, there could be waitlist at times. Alot of families live apart in canada. Like husband working in ontario while the family lives in BC. So It's not much of a big deal if your husband is in Nigeria.

Culture shock could be encountered if you are fresh from naija. I mean your boss could be a gay or lesbian or atheist. A lot of Nigerians tend to be rude (not deliberate) ...e.g Dont tell people that they are fat or added weight ecvept they ask for an honest opinion..lol Telling someone that you are strong when you are ill is a concept not understood in developed countries... using words like half caste is derogatory, keep your religious believes to yourselves e.t.c. You would need to book appointments for many services...from barbing your hair to seeing a doctor. Women and kids are Kings here.... This wasnt a shock to me cos i had previously lived and worked in the UK.
You would need to invest in deodorants...These are not commonly used back home.

If you are a Christian..there are lots of churches including rccg. Same for mosques, but they worship in soundproof halls.

Yes. Canada can get extremely cold. Its called the great white north for a reason. It was -46c wind chill this morning in Regina while it was +4c in Iceland. There are sometimes extreme weather warnings in effect. There is one in effect at the moment in Regina. Usually put in place when the air gets colder than -35c. I am sure you read about the ghanaian refuge claimant that would be losing his toes and fingers for crossing into manitoba by foot around christmas. You would need to invest in good parka jackets, snow boots, head warmers and very thick gloves. The trick is to prevent anypart of your body getting exposed. It starts getting warm in may and starts getting very cold in Novembre. Some provinces are also warmer e.g its currently -1c in vancouver plus summers are very warm and awesome.

If you drive, try to get an original drivers license. from Nigeria. A whole year could get discounted if you come with your license. Make sure its original except you are ready to pay fines that could be as high as 1000cad if you submit a fake one. I havent seen someone with a fake license that got verified succesfully..They only got hefty fines.
Learn the road rules before you get on the wheels. Cops and cameras are everywhere. Drivers license is a privilege that could be withdrawn anytime.
If you buy a car, it would be a good idea to invest in block heaters so your car can stay plugged to the mains when its very cold. Cars dont like extremely cold weathers.

I dont visit Nigerian restaurant..i havent seem one in Saskatchewan or Alberta. I am sure there are lots in Ontario. You can always get nigerian food easily anyway from African or east indian shops.

How much a family survive on depends on your taste and lifestyle. it varies from family to family.
