Is this compulsory?

CharitoJames:
Good morning All...
So here is a list of food items you can comfortably take to Canada.

Cray fish (blend it to avoid poking)

Stock fish

Smoked fish

Powdered maggi (chicken flavor isn’t allowed but you can repack in a ziplock and name it spice... no shaa forget say na maggi when you wan use am)

Palm oil ( Freeze it for about a week before you travel, let it turn to stone so it won’t defrost easily)

Blended dry pepper ( Red ones or even Cameroon pepper)

Egusi, Osu, Okpei, Achi

Beans, Bean powder

Ogbono ( blend too, we want everything neatly packed and don’t forget to put names on them)

Dry Iru

Spices ( friedrice spice oh, jollof spice oh etc)
Pepper soup spice.( trust me, you will need pepper soup alot, cold no be here)

Suya spice/Yaji ( If you grill chicken with yaji eh! You go chop finger, walahi)

Garri (packed in ziplock oh! Domestic carry sack like Mr Okoro)

Ground nut and Peanuts ( our Nigerian groundnut is on another level, you can’t get same taste in Canada... in plastic bottle oh)

Your favorite snacks that are not in Canada, pack them too. Na you go pay for extra luggage size.

Medication (Very important... there are no mosquitoes there but you fit still carry malaria drugs.. getting drugs over there isn’t as easy as walking into a pharmacy here..Get your paracetamol, flagyl, ibuprofen, vitamin C, your supplements etc

Aboniki balm ( Very important please, you won’t get hot balm over there and aboniki is sooo expensive there, get a pack or 2 if possible.

Ogi/ Akamu/ Pap (If you are a pap lover like me, mbok carry am go especially ginger pap..you can put in a ziplock and freeze to stone or NOT! Pap no dey quick spoil).

Ukpaka/ Ugba/ Oil bean ( If you still want your roasted plantain and yam feel over there, carry this along, you can just refrigerate and put in your bag the day you are traveling )

Vegetables ,Ugu/ Ewedu/ Bitter leaf ( Wash your bitter leaf to the point you want the bitter taste,put in a ziplock and freeze, slice your ugu after washing... allow to dry again like water never touched it and put inna ziplock.. pick your ewedu too and do like the ugu)

For the stubborn ones that must carry yam... slice it up, peel and cut in sizes then put in ziplock and leave in the fridge before you travel... yam can last up to 3 weeks even when stored this way, it will still be fresh any day you want to use it.

Okpa flour/Bambara nut ( I already said flour so don’t forget to grind it and name it)

Abacha

For my ladies, Don’t forget...

Relaxer

Pads ( Some of us have a particular one we are used to and don’t react to...so pack some with you before you get another one that will replace it over there... you wouldn’t want to start searching for a suitable pad the moment you get there.

Milk isn’t allowed but people take it in. Just repack in a ziplock and name it a different thing like bean flour, bambara powder, yam flour, rice flour/tuwo etc.. Just any powder that look like milk and please when they pick interest in your milk particularly, stand your ground without shaking and tell them it’s what you named it and not milk, go ahead and ask them to taste it if they want and ask them why you would want to take milk in when it’s not allowed... Like who gets this far and ends up wasting time because of milk. But if you will start shaking, kuku no carry milk.

NB: Every packed food item must be in Ziplock or transparent bag so it can be visible enough.

There are other food items but these are the most common ones. From this list, you can have an idea of other things you can carry.

I don’t think seeds are allowed because they think you will plant them.
No poultry products like chicken maggi and the rest, anything with chicken on it is a No even benny and mivina used to season chicken.. so pour content in a ziplock and name Spice M and Spice B.

Then your personal things shaa.
Go with a Universal Adaptor oh, very important because their sockets isn’t same as ours so you don’t get stock incase your chargers don’t fit in.

Guys, don’t bother going with your Nigerian clipper, it can’t be used there or so i heard.

Thanks

It's always a pleasure to be here, today I will be passing some informations based on my personal 3 weeks experience.
number 1 is money. it is very important that you have enough money to at least cover 1 year tuition or at least 2 terms NB there are three terms in a year. reason being that your student work permit is very limiting, for ppl with scholarships and funding this does not apply to them things are very expensive here compared to back home and the taxes are a thing about another day.
lets do the math $13/hr, 20 hrs a week, 4 weeks in a month = $1040 excluding tips and taxes house rent for a room lowest I think is an average of $500/month. rent go as high as $1200 for a reasonable studio so you can see something in between. unless you are going to break the IRCC 20hr/week rule, you can not make enough money for tuition. ( N.B this calculations is dependent on your province)
Having someone in a province/city you are planning to start your studies will give you a much needed soft landing. so start making those contacts now as soon as you are sure you are moving. N/B please do not pay for accommodation online use Airbnb then when you arrive you make sure to physically inspect your new place before moving in.
Again this is about money, make adequate plans so that you have at least 2 months without earning trust me this will help you settle in faster.
house hunting here can be a little tricky, imagine moving to Lagos or abuja for the first time, how long do you think it will take you to find a decent place to stay. lol Canada is no different so try arriving early before classes, (2weeks at least).
most apt go for 1 year lease so it's a bit tricky breaking that lease when you finally find out you don't like it. all in all I like it here definitely better than Nigeria but I think agents and what nots go about painting this fairy tale picture about Canada.
Please bring your medications, especially anti malaria, make sure it has a long expiration date, to see DR here is tricky and getting meds from a pharmacy you require prescription.
As for food situation when you come you go see lol
I wish you all luck in your application and may God grant you PPR.

CharitoJames:
