Goodday elders, We thank you so much for your landing gists, advice and some Canadian experiences that you have shared. Kindly tell us more about the favours, challenges and experiences you passed through in landing your first major job in Canada. In retrospect, What other things could you have done in Nigeria (even online certifications) to increase your chances in the Job market before travelling to Canada? We look forward to learning from you. 15 Likes |

nat138: The stamp on the passport just shows the date of entry. They will be issued a study permit , a separate document with a valid period. The Op can renew their passport and apply for an ‘updated’ Study permit. |

richie3384:Go to the previous pages and to part 1 of this read, you'll see plenty of such stories. It's your duty to do your own research. No one owes you landing gists or struggle stories. |

richie3384:life no get manual. Regardless of what a person does, some will get jobs before landing, some will get a few weeks after landing, some will go back to school to upgrade, some would get their dream job 6month or 1 year in. That is life. Some occupations have it easy then the others (e.g an auditor or banker from Nigeria will easily get a job than some other occupations requiring licensing ) If the job no show fast manage customer service or other non manual labour survival jobs. Go on LinkedIn too check where Nigerians in your field mostly work. Connect with them or others there for referral. 25 Likes |

Kenn55: We can look at this issue in many ways - on one hand the government is not opposed to the price growth we’ve seen, they all own real estate and don’t mind enjoying the tax free gains everyone else is enjoying . The restrictive building policies will tell you this , they are also planning on new policies like raising cap on CMHC limit to 1.25M which means people can buy more expensive housing without a large down payment Also, this could be a strategy to better spread out the population . Not everyone can live in GTA, Ontario and Vancouver BC same way not everyone can live in London or Tokyo or Paris or Sydney . There are still plenty of places across the country where you get a good home for 500K and if people move to those more rural places you’ll see development there - even if prices dip there are plenty of foreign investors willing to buy . Add to this the 400K yearly immigrants landing over next few years. And let’s not even add the record number of international students who are arriving and will likely convert to PR too and want a house . So long as demand stays strong what we will likely see is slower growth but I’m not expecting to see any sustained decline 13 Likes |

CountVersailles: Mr man speak for yourself, Nigerians in Canada are too many for you to be their mouthpiece. If you have written or don't want to write shift let interested brothers & sisters do. How is my question up there related to your reply now!Acting like a busybody. He didn't even see me thanking elders for the ones written so far meaning I have read. Pls stay your lane and don't discourage others. People enter Canada on daily basis so Canadian experience is a recurrent thing. You didn't even create the thread, so I wonder your pain that I asked for more experiences. Oh I get it now, alright sir we have noticed you, mstchew abeg shift jare! 19 Likes |

Hi all, Trying to renew my Nigerian passport. but it looks like appointments are all booked into May. I really need a passport before end of April for travel. Is there a chance the embassy attends to people who didn't book on that specific day? I'm thinkin of just going to Ottawa and seeing if they'll attend to me this April. However, my appointment is for May. Don't know much about how things work there. Is this possible? |

Eldoni: Just seeing your response, you mean WES now evaluates law school to say degree is equivalent to masters degree? That is absolutely new and quite frankly interesting, if true. When I did this process in 2018/2019, law school was not relevant because it is a professional program. It was repeatedly disregarded by WES and IQAS. It is like trying to make the Alberta bar qualification program equivalent to the New York bar for the purpose of qualifying to practice in New York. Do you actually have experience of this happening now? 2 Likes |

A group representing 150 of Canada's fastest growing and most promising technology companies wants the federal government to pilot a new visa stream allowing high-skilled tech workers to enter the country without a job offer. "There's over 200,000 positions in the tech space that are not being filled in Canada," said Benjamin Bergen, the council's president. On Tuesday, Facebook owner Meta announced it would hire 2,500 over the next five years with many working remotely. 4 Likes |
