Hello Here ![]() Please, I would appreciate useful insights as per school registration in Fredericton NB, and getting a nanny/childminder for home care too. I'm really expectant about my study permit but not sure I will have much time to explore when we get to Fredericton. My classes resume on the 7th of September so I want to finalize as much planning as possible before leaving. Many thanks in advance. 1 Like |

Misstolaly: Hello, I am also heading to Fredericton but in December, I had to defer my admission as my PPR was delaying. |
Re: Parenting In Canada...lets Connect !!!! by Nadingo: 10:46pm On Aug 25, 2022 |
Creativebelle:It's quite unfortunate that our people with kids in Canada do not want to assist us with their practical experiences over there. |

I am expecting my PPR soonest by the grace of God. Going to Saskatchewan with two of my kids. If you are going to Saskatchewan and plan to enrol your kids above age 5 in school, you will need to contact Newcomers Centre. They will be the one to link you with a nearby school where your child can be enrolled. The school form will be sent to you via email to fill after which your child will be in their waitlist. Application process for the kids will be concluded when you get to Canada. I don't know how parents cope yet cos I'm not yet in Canada but decided to share above info just in case it's useful to someone. I pray we all settle in to the system in Canada at the earliest time possible. Thank you 11 Likes |

When travelling with kids, what should parents hold as hand luggage that might be needed? Considering change in time and weather, do children adapt easily? What should parents that just landed in Canada do or be on the look out for? Please let's make this group thrive |

Hello All My wife is currently in Regina SK with our almost 6yr old daughter. It has not really been an easy ride for wifey with respect to getting a job cos of our daughter. Most of the daycares she applied to have long waiting lists. Anyway my daughter resumes school next week. We decided to enroll her in a French immersion school instead of an only English speaking school. Hopefully wife gets a job soon cos this exchange rate isnt easy at all. 7 Likes |

7COLOURS:First rule is for you all to wear comfortable clothings. Its not about being fashionable cos the journey from Lagos or Abuja to Canada is a long one. Additionally, I would recommend sweaters or hoodies cos the airplane may be very cold. Have change of cloths and underwear which may come in handy incase of any accidents especially for younger kids. Plenty baby wipes is always a good idea. Then take items the kids are familiar with, Tablets, teddybear etc... 7 Likes 2 Shares |
