Is this still available? What is the pricing?

chuchucalgary:
A spacious 2 bed, 2 full baths plus large den apartment available for rent in Oakville, Ontario from April 2023.
The den can be used as a 3bedroom; Master Bedroom is ensuite with walk-in closet and very spacious Washroom. The pantry has enough space for storage. The apartment has one designated underground parking.

Oakville is a high-brow, calm, and peaceful town in the GTA & one of the best places to live in Canada, with lots of parks and nature for sightseeing.
The apartment has a bus stop 3 minutes away and is 8 minutes from Sheridan College (Oakville Campus); 10 minutes from Go Train Station; QEW, Highway 401 & Highway 403.
Tenant and Visitors Parking available. No Smoking & No Pets Allowed.
This is a good apartment if you're looking for a family-oriented place to live in; if you value serenity, comfort, and quiet home, away from the busy Mississauga or Toronto.
Send a PM for more details/pictures or want to schedule a viewing or video call.

Good day everyone, please is there anyone here in corner brook, Newfoundland, or anywhere in Newfoundland?
I just want any valuable pointers about accommodation, fellow students in the school, jobs a student can do when school starts, or even any WhatsApp group to associate with Nigerians in the province.
also, can I come months before resumption since I got the visa early?
I recently got a passport request for my program to start in fall 2023, at the College of North Atlantic, corner brook campus, Newfoundland.
Please check your email.

How about invest in real estate. Like preconstruction (off plan construction) you'll need to pay the initial deposit on the property to the developer. Like a condo worth $400,000 say deposit is 15% $60,000 which you have to pay. In about 18 months to 3 years (average construction life cycle) towards completion the value would have increased to around $500,000. You sell the condo via assignment this should be stated in the initial agreement with the developer that you can assign your unit to someone else.

You (assignor) sell your unit "piece of paper" to the new buyer (assignee). They pay the initial deposit back to you $60,000 and on final closing after they have secured a mortgage they pay the developer $340,000 and the balance of $100,000 to you.

So in a space of 2 to 3 years you have earned $100,000 from $60,000 making a total of $160,000.

The Holy of grail of real estate.



I see people liked this post. I'm a licensed realtor. If have questions about real estate or interested in purchasing or selling real estate in Toronto/GTA I'm happy to help.

I can understand the boring aspect but majority are not in that category. It depends on where you live and your social interaction even before coming to Canada.

I went to Stratford Ontario one day and I was wondering what life will be for any Nigerian who live there. It is a small city/town with probably 98% whites and these are conservative whites not ya liberal whites like you have in multi cultural cities. So if you live in those kind of places, it definitely going to be boring. There is no Nigerian or even African community there.

However I don't think anyone will be bored in places like Toronto, GTA, Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, London, Ottawa in Ontario. I have never been bored. In fact, my social life improved in Canada. Before covid, there was never a dull moment except during the winter months and even at that, we still do ice skating. This summer, I did 2 barbecue events and attended 6 different more barbecues hosted by fellow Nigerians even with the covid wahala

But if someone situation gets to a point of depression, abeg just go back to Nigeria. This is because your mental health will be affected and it is not worth it.
Where do you live in Canada

Good day everyone.

I short-landed in Calgary in December 2022 as a PR being the PA (our PR process was done with my maiden name on my passport).
I intend to renew my Nigeria passport in my maiden name to my marital name before traveling back with my family to Canada in August 2023 (The new process requires the NIN which is in my marital name).

Kindly help with these questions:
1. Can I travel back with my renewed passport in my marital name while my PR card is in my maiden name?
2. What supporting documents do I need at the port of entry asides from an affidavit and marriage certificate?

Thank you so much for your contributions and anticipated help.

Some options if you are outside Canada at the moment:

1.renew your passport in your maiden name in a state that does not require NIN (I think only Lagos, Rivers and Abuja issue the enhanced passport that requires NIN, I may be wrong). This way the names on PR card and passport remain the same.

2. if you prefer to have the new passport in your new name, then apply for a new PR card in your new name (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/how-to-apply.html) and simultaneously apply for a PRTD in your new name with new passport details (in case the card is not produced on time). A PRTD application last month (Feb) took about a week to be approved........even if passport stamping takes 2 months it'll be ready well ahead of August. Apply for PRTD here: https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login

3. attempt to travel with PR card, old passport in maiden name, new passport in married name and marriage certificate/change of name affidavit - success may depend on the airline (if they let you fly) and may get complicated if you are transiting through another country before you get to Canada. I may be wrong about this, just an opinion. Hopefully, someone who may have tried it responds.

All the best!

Hello guys by the grace of God I will be arriving London Ontario late April to resume May at Fanshawe. I want to ask is it better to get an Airbnb or a 2-3 star hotel of similar price because a lot of the bnbs I'm seeing are looking quite expensive plus they probably won't provide the services that hotels do. Also if you have a link for house to rent around London from May I will also be interested. Plus has anyone use Motor Court Motel in London? What was your experience?
