Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Olayinkayyyyy: 12:33pm On Jul 18 |
Good morning everyone. Pls, I need your input on my issue. For context, my husband is currently studying for a one-year program that ends in December. His PGWP is one year, and to extend our stay, I am considering pursuing a postgraduate degree in my field. Now, my questions are: 1. We saw a digital marketing post-graduate diploma at a university( Considering that it is a postgraduate program but IN A UNIVERSITY,) is it advisable to go for this post-graduate diploma considering the no dependants policy, will it be diff because it’s a university? 2. I don’t understand how this works. When I start this postgraduate diploma or an MSc program, what will be my husband’s status (When my partner is starting his PGWP, and I am also pursuing a program)? Would he be on SOWP or how would that work? I’d appreciate input, advice and recommendations Thank you all so much |

Olayinkayyyyy:1. A postgraduate diploma anywhere (university or college) will not qualify for an SOWP. 2.When you start your Msc, your husband can apply for SOWP. Although that will be pointless because he should be on his PGWP. As for recommendations, I'll suggest you do an MSC in Ontario as this will qualify you for the OINP Master's stream. This stream does not need you to have a job offer. You just need to graduate from an approved university in Ontario, meet the English requirements, and show proof of funds 2 Likes |

tensazangetsu20: The Ponzi scheme-like immigration strategy that Canada is running will inevitably collapse one day. Essentially, they are using immigrants to address their financial issues, leaving many of them worse off, with majority living in low conditions. Without this constant influx of immigrants, Canada would struggle to pay its future pensioners. This shows how Canada cannot sustain its economy without continually bringing in large numbers of immigrants, even when there are insufficient jobs for many of them. It’s a selfish and manipulative scheme that many in third-world countries might not fully understand! 1 Like |

Inquiring about the Job-specific work permit (Closed) - I saw some screenshots while reading up on this thread, they seemed like portal pages. Is there a portal where the status of the LMIA can be viewed and attached to individual applications, if yes - are we responsible for reviewing the page or is that done automatically? |

Martins281: Be careful of LMIA scams. Many people are being scammed and stranded both inside and outside Canada. You cannot track LMIA and cannot confirm its genuineness until you apply for a visa. Stay vigilant! 1 Like 1 Share |

NuCypher:Hi I recently got COPR and I will appreciate if you can help answer some questions. I am currently in the UK and I have a driver's license here but I got it just 1year ago, I also have about 5years driving experience in Nigeria but I read online that I can only do direct exchange from my UK license to a Canadian own if I have driven for 2years in the UK. Is there a province I can get the direct exchange with just 1 year or does my drivers license from Nigeria which has expired but applied for it's renewal be accessed to issue a direct exchange or I need to go through the whole G1 G2 process? 2. It I am able to get the driver's license, am I able to start rideshare gigs (Uber Comfort, Uber premier) immediately or there is years of driving in Canada required to do this? My bank here in UK had offered me £15,000 loan, I intend to take that and buy a 2020 Camry Hybrid once I enter for this until I get desired job. 3. I also intend to stay in the UK till December to add more to my POF since I have a good paying job here and can easily set aside 1500£ each month until December as all this no job in Canada thing dey scare me and I want to be fully loaded before I come, do you think this is necessary or the ride-sharing thing will be sufficient and no need to stay till December? |

stevolinkon40:I don't think you can do the car thingy without a G. Let me ask why leaving a good job in the UK for immediate nothing in Canada? 1 Like |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by stevolinkon40: 1:33am On Jul 25 |
aestake:Yes I know I need a G license. I just want to know if I can exchange my UK driver's license for the G license with less than 2years driving experience. I am on post study visa due to expire next year. Getting a sponsorship job in my career is difficult and not forthcoming. Mostly people do Care jobs to secure sponsorship and I wasn't ready to do that so I decided to move to Canada with PR since I won't be restricted to a specific job for 5years like the uK. 7 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by aestake: 2:48am On Jul 25 |
stevolinkon40:Okay. Just know you start from G1. Then do G2 in no time. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NuCypher: 5:20am On Jul 25 |
stevolinkon40:I don't know much about this. But I think the 2-year rule is generally valid. The only province I'm aware of which doesn't specifically mention this 2-year thing is Quebec. But I won't be surprised if they also require 2 years. You can generally get some points for your UK and Nigerian licences (years of driving experience) though, and that may allow you take the G road test immediately. See this link 2. It I am able to get the driver's license, am I able to start rideshare gigs (Uber Comfort, Uber premier) immediately or there is years of driving in Canada required to do this?You can start these kinds of jobs immediately once you can legally drive on Canadian roads. It's that simple. 3. I also intend to stay in the UK till December to add more to my POF since I have a good paying job here and can easily set aside 1500£ each month until December as all this no job in Canada thing dey scare me and I want to be fully loaded before I come, do you think this is necessary or the ride-sharing thing will be sufficient and no need to stay till December?The rule of thumb: the more money you can bring to Canada, the better. You can never have enough, because the bills pile up pretty quickly, and having enough will always give you flexible room. Your plan to start this ride-sharing thing should not stop you from continually applying for jobs in your desired field. While it may appear like there are no jobs in Canada, people are still getting jobs daily. There is no reason you can't be one of them. But it's actually is a very good thing that you are planning ahead this early. That's commendable. 5 Likes |

NuCypher: Wow! Very detailed explanation. Nairalanders are simply the best Please for a new PR holder with a Nigerian Driving License with about three years driving experience , do you have a clue or estimate of the car insurance to be paid?. Please what factors determine the amount payable?. Thank you very much |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by miolad20(m): 1:40pm On Jul 25 |
I don't think anyone can guess how much your car insurance will cost. This is because there are just too many variables they consider in calculating your premium. Location, type/age of car, driver's licence level, driver's age/gender/marital status etc. Read this https://www.forbes.com/advisor/ca/car-insurance/ontario-car-insurance-rates-up-12-percent-2023/ Lordfiido:
