Good day my people. House hunting has shown me pepper. I got an offer in Hamilton. Kai, one of those tall buildings (call me a Bush girl but I'm scared of it) . How is Hamilton. Are there jobs there? It's a one year lease so I'm worried about taking what might not work for me eventually. I need advise. I actually like Mississauga but can't meet their conditions for now

Maybe negotiate to put in a clause that allows you to do a lease transfer on favourable terms. In this hot rental market, you'll never be in short supply of someone willing to take over your lease if you decide to up and leave. Other than that, you should be fine. No need to be scared of tall buildings.

Baba easy o. People underestimate the cultural differences between most people born and raised here and people migrating as adults. It is not a joke and it is not an easy feat to come to the point where you are in sync with a person enough to marry them. Most interracial marriages that look proper to me usually involve people both born and raised here with difference just being skin colour.

So you'll find most Nigerian men naturally default to people that they're familiar with (Nigerians) or share some affinity with (other Africans)

social media and nollywood has really deceived many lol. Ome major reason some go for those white babes in other countries is to get papers. In Canada where paper is not an issue for most Nigerian migrants. Nigerian or African ladies are the first choice, despite all the bashing and back and forth we see online

Admin @justwise, it may be time to open part 3 of this thread; we have now gone past 600 pages and maybe we can get back to the purpose of this thread on a clean slate.

What exactly is part 3 necessary for? Has this thread suddenly run out of space that it can’t go on anymore? I’m still clueless why your guys do this, opening multiple parts to these threads and not allow it go on for as long as possible. Have things changed so much for landed immigrants that there’s suddenly a need for part 3? I’m yet to get a sane explanation.
Nairaland has multiple threads that have run into hundreds and even thousands of pages without the need to open a new “part”. Several threads in Movies, Sports, etc are in thousands of pages without stop, but only here do you see people twitching about opening a new thread so they can be the first to post.

Thank you so much
I quite appreciate your help

You and your fellow derailers are the problem of the thread. I wonder why a typical Nigerian is this inconsiderate. Smh

Since joo2018 is no longer visiting this thread i think current and frequent members here should nominate someone to start a new part.

The person must be a frequent contributor here and with an account older than 6months.

Thank you.

@justwise, wait first. Them never find me house and I'm landing on 18th. You guys should kindly direct me to shortlet apartment or better still, someone should pack out and lease his place to me(sebi una get credit history and I don't have). I need help bikonu

I and at least 5 people I know have adopted kids with one or both parents alive in the course of this journey. We all have our PR, with the exception of one person awaiting approval.

I personally adopted two kids and their parents are alive and well. I have FULL custody.

The OP can go ahead to legally adopt the child. Avoid Lagos sha. E get why. Use other states with less traffic.

SlowlybtSurely:


The safer option will be to legally adopt that child in Nigeria before coming. The problem with that though is that the court will usually not grant you full guardianship/custody if the child's biological parents are alive, even if the biological parents agree to that arrangement. This will make it impossible to add her to your application as IRCC will require that you have full guardianship/custody.

If you know your way around Nigerian legal system and can somehow get a judge that can grant you full guardianship, that will be your best bet.

Thank you for this! I'm glad this is doable. A judge in Lagos refused to grant my friend full custody and quoted that the child's parents were still alive, so I just thought that was the law.

Please, can we have landing jist of anyone who travelled to Canada with kids recently?

Can we have first hand experience regarding Covid-19 requirements for the kids. Must kids undergo Covid-19 tests?

Thank you for your time.

You said MAJORITY, he is the minority

I don’t know much about BC only for Ontario. I got lot of misinformation that I can’t go straight to G from G1 even with my driving experience. At the end of the day I took my extract to the drive test centre told the officer I have an extract from Nigeria. I registered and took the G1 test. After passing I was told i can take the G road test no need for G2. Today I took the G road test and passed. So it’s very possible to get the Full G if you have an extract from your home country. Like I said knowledge test for BC I don’t know much, you have to research or check out https://www.drivingtestcanada.ca. For G road test have a good and experienced instructor. I was lucky one of the officers in the drivetest center was Nigerian, he gave me the contact of an instructor which most Nigerians use and pass.

Pls where in Ontario?

DrFareedah:
Hello everyone, I've been following this thread for the past five years. But i was forced to create an account just now. My husband and I landed in Halifax three months ago. With a set a twin girls. Making us a family of four.

I had a good job in nigeria, was working as a gynae with a big hospital on the island. However, i was forced to work on relocation because of very toxic inlaws. I can't explain it in words. I've got a deep story to tell. Just one of which is, after giving birth to the girls, my mother in law left the annoyance that I am maltreating her 8 days post partum. She said I didn't cook for her and all that. Bare in mind I had a caeserian session to birth the girls, I was recovering and I couldn't do much. She gossiped and said all sorts with her four girls but i was not bothered, I just decided to run far by coming to canada.

My issue now is they all insist on coming to canada to live with their brother. He's the only son and as such i think he owes them so much, I dont understand yoruba tradition deeply. But I'm here asking everyone to help because once they step into this country, our marraige is over. They tried to ruin it in lagos, but i was very patient. his siblings said they hate my children. Hubby's mom said sometimes she just feels like slapping my children and they turn deaf (they are just 3), Pls what do I do next. I'm exhausted. I hate drama. Cant families just let young couple be. Why do they want to be in our business so much? My hubby isn't seeing it as an issue yet, offcourse he hasn't done the leave/cleave thing.
I have some recordings of their threats towarda me. I just dont want anything to happen to my kids. I dont want them here at all. Please people should chip in their one cent.

Good new is that they are not here yet and that before they come your husband would have had some cultural reorientation that will help create the needed balance. Also, if they get to come over, they may not be in same province or city as you and its good to know that nobody can maltreat you here, there is law and order so rest your mind and not be overly anxious. Finally, I advise that you start praying or keep praying (as the case may be) for your husband and take this time to build a stronger bond with him and the children so that he will not want to loose to interference from anyone. Wishing you all the very best!
