Hey guys! Been soo long here! I really cannot remember how long it has being.

Today 2nd April 2033 makes it exactly 1 year of me been in Canada. And all I can say is that it's only been God, support and encouragement from my family back home and the family I already created here in Canada. How I have been surviving? I don't know! It's only God!

Cause without him, I wouldn't be writing this epistle right here.

The struggle has been hard, crazy, intense, lots to learn, combining working and going to school (even the jobs ain't easy to come by). God has been faithful to me, brought good people around me (Nigerians) because really, good people are hard to find here. Over here, nobody has time for you, nobody really cares about you. Everybody's trying to survive, everyone's almost lost in the struggle. That friend wey you think say na your bestie, ask am for $50 and watch as e go tell you him life history come run leave you in seconds.

Guys don't believe anyone who tells you Canada is all bed of roses! It is a fat lie!!! Canada is not for the faint hearted!!! Nothing is easy to get here, you must work like a donkey and follow due process to get anything you want.

When I was in Nigeria, I have never worked like the way I do here! Even the school wey them dey tell us that year say e easy pass primary school, I can categorically tell you that our education at home is decades away from what they're doing here. The education system here can make you mad! Most especially if you don't make enquiries and also ask questions (follow who know road) you'd be lost! I almost lost it in my first semester, till I began to ask questions.

For the work aspect, guys, don't mind those nonsense people keep saying, say "work full Canada", Zero your mind you might not do anything here for months. Even if you see something doing, you'd do everything you've never done in your life. There's no Job I've not done in this country, I think the only Job I haven't done is to wash dead body, which I'll never do. ☠️

Be prepared to be humbled. Jobs you feel you could never ever do in Nigeria, be prepared to do them here, unless you came into the country with a sh*t pile of cash, but if you're like us, wey tell IRCC say we get 100K USD for the account 😂 then you have to be prepared to do all sort of things just to survive.

I know lots of people who haven't done anything in more than 5 months here. Living with their Naira's from Nigeria. Like I said, don't be deceived by what you see on the Internet on how excess jobs in Canada. The good jobs here, nobody's ready to leave it, especially those Indians (I call them Fulani Herdsmen) those Herdsmen are everywhere like flies! Every nook and cranny, them dey, and trust me, na them dey get update pass, but never trust them, they'll boot you off when they have the chance!

For the weather aspect, I live in British Columbia. It's fair to say it's the warmest province in the whole of Canada. But when I mean warm don't think Nigerian warm or South African warm. Warm in the sense that were currently on 3°C and during extreme weather conditions it could get to like - 14°C. Don't forget freezing point for your freezer na 0°C so literally, we live inside freezer.
I stayed in Toronto for about 4 months and the weather is way more extreme than British Columbia. Good thing is for those coming in this April, the weather has gotten better, but is still gonna be so cold for newcomers. So please come prepared with good winter dresses.

Another thing is this, guys don't do the mistake of coming to Canada without any $$$, abeg come with something to support yourself for sometime, e dey very important. You don't wanna come here and start begging, you need funds to survive as a first timer. It's extremely important.

Mehn, it's being a journey for me here, trust me, so many ups and downs, if I tell people, them go tell me say better days dey come... Like this, I still dey find that better days oh! 😭 But God dey..

Thanks to SEUN for this platform! Without Nairaland, my journey to Canada wouldn't be possible. I also thank all the good people who assisted me during my process e no easy! Lianna, lekiboeboe, I can't remember the rest... Y'all are the real OGs!
By the grace of God, it'll rain PPR for everybody here! This thread 22 is gonna be your thread of testimonies! If you believe say a big AMEN!!!
Those refused, please don't give up! You know what you want, restrategise and hit them again! Trust me, you're gonna get it right this TIME! Na who give up fu*k up! I'm rooting for you!

If you're coming to UCW or Vancouver and need information on anything kindly reach out to me, I'd do my best in explaining everything and anything to you.

Thanks for reading my long story guys. Have a lovely night rest ❤️

Best256:


Nah! I'm not the one going. I'm making inquiries for a relative.

Christyiji:



Haaaa....
This just scared me...
How will one survive for months without a job, with their expensive rent and taxes...

At this point, I am confused abeg...
That means if one has a good job, it's even better.

Ucy12:
Okay.

Ucy12:


Concordia should be in Montréal.
I'll be heading to Québec City.

Booked your flight already? What date and how much?

Best256:


I said I'm not the one who will travel but is a lady that will travel.

Best256:


She is in dire need of accommodation.

bullstriker:
You are filling out the wrong form for a work permit application. Complete the following forms

IMM 1295
IMM 5257 SCH1
IMM 5645

Ucy12:
Hi Nairaland house! I need some help abeg.
@Bobomaigida
@ Bullstriker
and other great minds here...

I want to find out about Biometrics in Passport Submission; even though I've not reached the level, but asking so I can be prepared and act fast when I get there, because of time.

I did my Biometrics in 2019 when it was paper submission at Lagos VAC. I had a refusal though, and my passport returned to me. I also had a refusal in 2020 (online application). Now, upon Original Passport Request this time, will I need to pay transmission fee if I submit to same Lagos VAC where I did the Biometrics?
*Note that I don't have the slip given after biometrics. I only have biometrics letter.

Your answers will go a long way in helping me prepare.

Thanks so much for your contributions.

Blessings!

richard69:
@bullstriker please my spouse is the PA but while filing the questionnaire i filled open work permit for myself. under the purpose of travel supporting Documents, below was listed. kindly put me through pls.
You must submit proof that you are coming to Canada for a temporary visit.

Examples of what you can provide as proof:

A scanned copy of:

Your flight ticket departing Canada,
Your travel itinerary (e.g. places you will visit or stay, such as hotel booking),
Proof of a medical appointment.

Bobomaigida:


Just wait for when they ask for it, if they do not, I think you should not send it. Congratulations in advance

FranklynJonin:
Good day house,

Please I would like to know what documents are required at the airport both in Nigeria and Canada

drhammed:
Quebec City is another 3hrs drive from Montreal. J'espère que vous parlez français ou apprendrez facilement? Bienvenue dans la province du QC

bullstriker:
The examples look like the requirement of a visitor visa. If you want to apply for a work permit, complete IMM 1295, IMM 5257 SCH1(not IMM 5257), and the Family information form. IMM 5257 is different from IMM 5257 SCH1. The former is for a visitor visa application, while the latter is required for all TR applications outside Canada.

Wsx2:


My brother the truth hurts and you just nailed it. I was expressing the same thing a canada express entry thread and someone who I am sure has never travelled kept saying Bla bla bla
That I am trying to discourage people from coming .

I am in Toronto eglinton area and With what I have seen here in canada I am disappointed. This is not what I expect. There are centinnial college students who has been here for 5 months looking for just common menial jobs and they can’t find any. Anyone that have high hope coming here will regret it. It will take several years to get things together in canada.

tolyem:
Good morning to you all and happy new week.

Please, I will like to inquire on the addresses of Biometrics Centers in Lagos.

I live in Ogba and I want to do my biometrics now. Also, do I need to book appointment?

HigherEd:
Hello, Can you please add me to the group. Thank you

buchito1:


It shouldn't scare you my dear.. Everybody destiny no be the same! You might come in today and land yourself a top class Job.

Just come prepared, don't let anybody sugar quote anything to you! It's not easy but e still better pass Naija for now...

And also, avoid these Provinces that are far North for now, at least till summer period.

Hello, my People,

I got an offer of admission to study in Fanshawe and I am expected to pay a tuition deposit of 9718 CAd before the 21st of April. I have initiated the form A process and am optimistic the money will hit their account but not before the deadline.

I have equally reached out to the school explaining the delay with my form A documents attached.

I would like to if anyone has gotten similar issue and if money is disbursed to them after the deadline expires, can the admission be reinstated

Go to the airline's office and pay through transfer. I paid for mine at Qatar airways office in VI
