Zeewirld:there are people who went to Calgary but couldn’t get the jobs they desired. But got offers in Toronto and they moved. Some came to Toronto but are in BC today. Business in Canada and business in Nigeria are not same. Its better you continue in financial sector first, make some money and get experiences before thinking of tech which is now even saturated these days. Also with high interest rates rents everywhere has gone up , so affordability is an issue everywhere. If your copr expiry falls in winter you have no choice than to come then. It wont kill you 😅.Ultimately the decision is yours. 1 Like |

Zeewirld: Where ever you find job first is your home province. This means that you will have to live on your POF for anything between 1 week and 6 Months. Without job your POF will last twice longer in Alberta than in Ontario or BC. But you will have thrice as much opportunities for Financial roles in Ontario than Alberta. So the choice is yours. Also note that Alberta is more than Calgary & Edmonton. You have other places like Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Cold Lake, Brooks, Red deer etc which even have lesser cost of living than the popular two cities mentioned above, this means settling in any of them will even make your POF to stretch longer while you look for jobs. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Enculer2: I agree not all Nigerians are straightforward however, I believe a far greater number of Nigerians are straight and wonderful. Every country has its good, bad and ugly. We should not always generalize. 4 Likes |

Hello House, Happy to have found this thread. Please I need your professional advice. I am coming to BC in September with open work permit with my wife who is the student with two years Msc program study permit. I am an Electrical Engineer with over 10 years experience. I also have over 8 years experience in Heavy duty equipment services and maintenance. I am 31 years and I am in express pool with CRS of 366. My wife 27 years is also in express entry pool with CRS score 469. Please I need best advice to get PR in Canada fast. Target is to get PR before one year in Canada. I need experience and information that can help this out profile to become permanent residents. Thanks so much |

CornOak: Not at all but seek possible ways to convert |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by ednut1(m): 12:30am On Aug 09, 2023 |
Emma549:realistically you cannot get pr under one year. When your wife graduates her express entry scores will increase and will also qualifies for BC PNP. |

Mis3man: Do your research well. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NuCypher: 2:13am On Aug 09, 2023 |
Emma549:Go to Canada with your wife. Let her apply for express entry without her MSc, keep schooling, while you start to look for work immediately. If you are truly 8 years experience in heavy duty equipment and you know your stuff very well, you will get a job. That's a high demand field in Canada. Make sure to put together a very good resume and seek help with interviewing in Canada. Nothing really special about interviewing in Canada, except don't let yourself be influenced by your Nigerian biases. When your wife finishes MSc, let her update her profile. Though she may be lucky to get PR before finishing her masters. When she does finish though, she gets post-graduate work visa, if eligible, and she can find work. I don't know why you are rushing to get PR in one year. Why, if I may ask? What's the objective? You can live in Canada without stress without PR. And it's not like it gives you any special advantage in the period your wife is studying. Or correct me if I'm wrong. Go through the process like several others have done and set your target on getting the PR when you do, however long it takes. It won't take more than three years anyways, and take those three years as time to settle in Canada and know your environment. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Hi, please how long did it to take for your application to be processed and your admission package sent to your email. Thank you. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by AirBay: 4:58pm On Aug 09, 2023 |
Emma549: Also look into the organisation that verifies and certifies your credentials as you need to be certified before been able to practice as an engineer or trainings required before been able to operate/service an heavy duty equipment. No matter your years of experience, Canada can humble someone, if you don't get the required certifications or training certifications your experience may be useless. 2 Likes |

Emma549: You can get PR before your wife concludes her studies. Look for a company that can give you LMIA once you get to Canada. |

Please I need urgent advice from seniors who got their driving extract from Nigeria. I would like to know if anyone successfully got theirs by applying through the Online portal and paying the 50k naira stated therein. Or if the best and guaranteed way is to go through FRSC official? I discussed with an FRSC official, he billed me 80k. I want to know if the online route works so I can save 30k😔. Need to get the extract before entering Canada next month, so I can easily take the driving test and get my G license |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Nobody: 5:15am On Aug 10, 2023 |
XtraordinaryGen:They don’t send the extract to individuals. Only to organizations. |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Nobody: 6:22am On Aug 10, 2023 |
XtraordinaryGen:Oh! I didn’t see that part. I’m also going to apply for it next week. I’d advise you do it yourself. My FRSC plug said it can’t be influenced. But then again in Nigeria everything is possible. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Mackie1(m): 7:41am On Aug 10, 2023 |
Viking07:just so you are aware.. There's backlog on the whole process. March or April I think. So if you don't use a plug, be ready to wait a very long time |
