For getting job from Naija, I suggest few months before you travel, start reaching out to recruiters via LinkedIn and who reside in the city you intend to live in. Have your CV in Canadian format ready with a Canadian phone number. Use Dingtone/Freetone to purchase a Canadian no. When the recruiter connects and has an initial phone/interview chat, stress that you can commence interviewing remotely. You will be asked when you will be in Canada. If the recruiter wants to work with you, he will keep messaging you from time to time, sending jobs mastravel: 7 Likes 7 Shares |

A few of the hotels won't take money from the credit card until you show up. The cheapest hotel is Quality Suites but it's often fully booked except your travel date is way ahead. What you should look for is the one that will refund you at least a night. Your best bet is Towneplace Suites as they often refund one night. Before you travel, pre-register for Switch Health, if not you go queue eh to do your covid entry test. Just Google Switch Health and create a profile on their website. I think it requires a Canadian phone number. At the Lagos airport, just staple your data page covid test, ArriveCan and Hotel booking together so that those checking documents won't stress you Also join this facebook group for travel heads-up https://www./1145379402582610/?ref=share Alchemist01: 11 Likes 10 Shares |

A question to those in the legal career or anyone who might have more information. What are the legal job prospects in Manitoba and Saskatchewan?

Hello everyone. Please any one here that came into SK as a masters student and applied for PR after year 1? Kindly respond. Thank you |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by ocpaschal: 3:18am On Jul 09, 2021 |
Pls I would like to inquire on the following;
1. Is it true that applicants must notify their undergraduate
university to send their transcript on behalf of the applicant
through WES (World Education Services) in order to apply
for Masters in any Canada universities?
If this is true, and although he already decided to inform his
undergraduate university to send his academic transcript to
the WES organization as well, how can he be able to contact
an academic professor in a desired university for the aim of
getting admission to embark on a Masters program ?
2. Pls which provinces or regions in Canada provides the
best opportunities
for Masters applicants seeking to study Environmental
Engineering and at the same time be working ?
3. Which universities are the best option for my brother to
apply for Masters in Engineering?
4. Pls which Canadian universities offer less expensive
tuition fee or
scholarships for Masters program in Environmental
engineering?
5. What are the requirements or conditions that must be met
to apply for both masters program and the student visa?
6. Pls is there any offer for post-study Work Permit in
Canada?
7. My brother has a recommendation letter from his
undergraduate university's academic affairs (not his own
department). Is a recommendation letter(s) from
undergraduate university a compulsory requirement? Must
the recommendation letter be specifically from his
department professor/lecturers or just academic affairs
Head/Director ? Pls at what stage or point will this letter of
recommendation be demanded for (if it is compulsory) - Is it
required for applying for Masters admission or will it be
demanded after admission is obtained?
8. Is it compulsory for my brother's SPONSOR (e.g Uncle/
Aunt) to be a Nigerian citizen with a Nigerian bank account?
Also, is there any specific eligibility for sponsors
(sponsorship letter) especially if the sponsor of the Graduate
program works or lives abroad (eg. USA)
9. Pls what are the next step that my brother is expected to
take once he gets admission to a Canada university? What
level or extent of Proof of Funds or bank statement for
instance will be required from his sponsor?
10. My brother is looking forward to obtaining a Permanent
Residency permit in the future (even if it means proceeding
to read a PhD in Engineering field), what further steps or
process does he
need to know to partake in ?
11. What is the total cost for applying for a study visa ?
12. Pls if you have any advise to say concerning his desire in
seeking to study Masters in Canada, I am ready to
understand and learn. |

Jerryjack022: You can travel immediately you take the 2nd dose of the vaccine but you are only deemed to be fully vaccinated 14days after taking your 2nd dose vaccination. In essence, if you want to avoid mandatory hotel quarantine, you have to wait for 14days after taking your 2nd dose to enjoy that priviledge. 1 Like |

Hello house, Please i need your help, I applied for a visiting visa for my mum and sent that email for the application priority, and also attached the proof of relationship which are my international passport, my mum birth certificate, her change of name docs, invitation letter and the doctor's letter for my pregnant wife. I received this email from IRCC "Based on our assessment of your recent enquiry, we cannot process your request as you have not provided sufficient evidence that you meet an exemption criterion and/or that your travel to Canada is non-discretionary, per the travel restrictions implemented to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID‑19) in Canada. Even though you do not meet an exemption criterion and/or your travel has not been deemed non-discretionary, your application will now be put on hold until after the travel restriction pause has been lifted" Please could it be because i didn't attach my PR card and my birth certificate. If yes, can any one suggest the docs they used for their proof of relationship. Thanks |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by rosepetraaa: 11:11pm On Jul 10, 2021 |
Iamblessed007: Why did you include a doctor's letter for your pregnant wife? You basically told them your mom is coming to work on a visit visa. And yes... your PR card and your birth certificate are the most important documents (PR card to prove your status in Canada and your birth certificate to prove the relationship between yourself and your mother) 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Hello guys, Does anyone know which of the Canadian government approved hotels allows people to make a reservation without putting my card details, and can pay in cash when I arrive ? The reason why I am asking this question is because I am fully vaccinated. I got the second dose on June 18th. So I just want to have the hotel booking in case of incasity, as I may not need to stay in the hotel at all. |

ocpaschal: Why are you derailing this thread? This thread is for life/living in Canada not for these unnecessary questions. You can check the student visa thread for student related issues. More importantly do your own research. A lot of your questions can be found by doing a simple search on Google. 1 Like |

rosepetraaa: Thanks. My mum is coming to help out as she is about to give birth and many people add all that to support their application. She is not getting paid for helping her son, so it is not a work visa. At least my female friend also submitted it when she applied for visit visa for her mum. Infact, she added the ultrasound scan too. Only difference is that she didn't send any email to prioritize her application because she applied for her mum before covid. thanks all the same. 1 Like |

I do not think your mother qualifies as a member of immediate family relation as per their definition (spouse and dependent children), also pregnancy does not fall into the category of non-discretionary cases as per their definition. Iamblessed007: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by megastu(m): 3:16pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
You have already stated it here. Yours and your friends' are different cases under different circumstances. Iamblessed007: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by rosepetraaa: 3:50pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
megastu: Mother actually falls under immediate family member. I applied for my mom during Covid-19 and her visa was granted. She visited and she is back home now. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by rosepetraaa: 3:55pm On Jul 11, 2021 |
Iamblessed007: You don't know the context your female friend presented her case to the visa officer. If she told the visa officer that the pregnancy is difficult and that she needs her mom's emotional support so that she doesn't fall into depression and you told the visa officer that your mother is coming to help take care of the baby. These two statement mean different things for visa application. Now, it also depends on the officer that handles your application. Anyways, the most important documents, which is your PR card and the proof of relationship for yourself and your mom, were not attached to your letter and thus, you did not prove that you meet the exemption requirements. You can reply and attach the relevant documents. 6 Likes |

Hello house, I need to verify an information i got online from someone i just met. According to him he’s a citizen of canada that reside in calgary. I went to his inbox and asked him what i should study between nursing and software eng, he told me to go for nursing but i was afraid if i could cope with the high fee with just a 20hours/week job. So i told him about that(fee) and he said i should forget about the supposed fee(12000$ For int student) i saw on me Memorial university school site(which he sent to me), that i will just be paying 2000$ per semester approx 4000$ per session. I was worried about the information so i felt i should ask here for verification. Please house help me, before i start at all i need to verify this information to be sure i will not be in any problem. |

Iamblessed007: But your birth certificate is your only proof of relationship with your mom. Her birth certificate doesn't prove anything. And your PR card is your proof of status. 2 Likes |
