passe: @passe Good Morning to you my Brother! Thank you for making an exception and taking the time to send me a positive and encouraging message. I truly appreciate it. I claim my stake and portion in Toronto, as I believe wholeheartedly that the Lord has heard and over-answered my prayers and petitions, in the name of Jesus. Thank you also for allowing me to message you privately and for your kind offer to connect me with something that can give me financial stability. God bless you Sir! 8 Likes |

keni: @keni Thank you for taking the time to write me. I decided to locate to Toronto, Ontario (over another city/province) due to my background in Financial Services and my previous experience of working in Financial services in London, UK. To be honest with you, I only know one school friend here but this person will be leaving the country and is no longer opting to stay here anymore. They are helping me to connect with some people as I do not know anyone else here. 2 Likes |

impish: Thank you my Sister. I shall surely testify to the goodness of the Lord! Yes, I accept and take on board what you're saying wholeheartedly. I have looked into Canadian certifications in my field before arriving and had planned to start enrolling on them upon having some sort of an income stream. I will check Coursera as you have suggested and will research to see if there are any free courses I can take in the meantime to build up my skillset to make myself more employable in the Canadian market. You will not believe it but from own personal experience when I was in Europe I never found it challenging to find very good jobs. Therefore, it is strange when someone talks negatively about the job market in Europe, as within my own sphere of knowledge I believe it to be easier to navigate than Canada as in Europe they actually value and recognise one's experience and qualifications. 3 Likes 1 Share |

salford1: @salford1 I want you to know that every insult and lie you throw my way you are throwing at God. I really pity you and I really advice you to go and kneel down and ask God to forgive you. You are showing yourself to be really heartless, and a true example of what is wrong with Nigeria. Yes, you are right you are under no obligation to help me, so as you have sown so you shall reap. 4 Likes 1 Share |

salford1: @salford1 Thank you for making 2 + 2 = 10! I do not find your question relevant and neither do I find it pertinent for me to answer as (1) are you God?; (2) are you Canadian Immigration?; and (3) you have made it expressly clear your decision to not render any help my way. Consequently, I cannot fathom your fascination with knowing more about my situation. You are in a position to help but have decided to turn the other cheek but feel so empowered to mock me. I will continue to quote bible verses at you or anyone else that feels so embolden to trample on and abuse those in need as I am talking only on the basis of the truth. I suggest you ponder on the following very well: 'The LORD mocks the mockers but is gracious to the humble' and let your conscious guide you as from what you have displayed you are smelling greatly of the very thing you are so bold to accuse me of. Tell me, as an educated and enlightened person do you think it is possible for me to enter the country without showing proof of funds? I have gone through some trials since entering this country which is not relevant to anyone as I am not looking for sympathy, all asked for was a little assistance from my own community. To conclude, as you do not want to render any assistance my way then I suggest you do yourself a very big favour and stop harassing me. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

maternal: @maternal , @ salford1 from the responses I have received from you both so far it is very clear that you are not ready to provide me with any tangible leads or support regarding securing work. I do not have immigration issues, but if it makes you feel better to believe I have immigration issues then please feel free to continue to entertain yourself at my expense. I have applied for call center jobs but have been told that I do not have customer service experience to be qualified to work in the area, despite working in client facing roles abroad. Just because you do not know anyone rejected by Walmart for a job does not mean it does not happen. It does and you can choose to believe it or not. Both of you make a lot of assertions of the system here in Toronto and Canada as a whole, and I wonder if any are actually based on your own personal experience or are you simply spreading fallacies, because I am talking about my own reality to date. To be honest, I was not expecting much as my fellow Nigerians have never really been helpful, rather rude and condensing. I continue to put my hope and confidence in the Lord God Almighty as the Bible says 'It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.' I would caution you to remember that (1) just because your fellow man is in need of assistance does not give you the license to abuse or belittle the person in the name of 'helping' the person; and (2) where you are today is not by your making, or by your own understanding or intelligence but only by the special grace of our Lord. I will end with this 'Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.' 2 Likes |

TheCongo2: @TheCongo2 I am telling the God honest truth when I say that I have not been able to find any sort of work in Toronto. I have registered and met with many recruitment agencies and only 2 of them were prepared to put me forward for 3 roles since May. The employers decided not to proceed as I didn't have 'Canadian experience'. I have applied for work outside my field including retail and hospitality but again have been told I am not qualified to work in these fields. |

Hello, Sorry if this is not the correct forum to post this. I moved to Toronto in May 2017 and have been finding it challenging finding any sort of work. It is now a life and death situation and need to find work ASAP. I am in desperate need of assistance and would appreciate any help that anyone can find it in the hearts to offer. Thank you in advance for your help and support. 3 Likes 1 Share |
