toparie:concerning your career...you dont really have much choice. Toronto is the biggest city in canada and the hub of finance and IT related careers. you must have done some research to choose both cities. Concerning kids, they would be fine in any city you land. 4 Likes |

ladylco:Where is mohawk college? most places would charge around 400 per person for a shared two bedroom or 350 per person for a shared 3 bedroom, but you have to be aware that these figures could be higher depending on location. VEIL1234:Your kids would be okay in any city. Environmental professional in saskatoon? most environmental jobs are located in much smaller towns and cities. With HR, i know there is a professional certificate that HR professionals aim for in canada to enhance their chances of landing a job, but i dont remember the name of the cert. 2 Likes |

Can we please avoid derailing this thread. There are other pages in the travel section to ask questions. For FSW and express entry queries, there is a thread for you, Canada student forum is there and also a forum for tourist and visitors. This thread is strictly for landing purposes. For landed immigrant to share their stories, life in Canada, getting job offer, attending interviews, schools for kids, best province to land base on profession, changing profession after landing (courses to take) and all other related queries. I think the best bet is to remove posts not related to this or not to get such question answered. When such question is left unanswered, u get forced to return to the appropriate thread for help. My One cent. Thanks a lot as you comply 34 Likes 1 Share |

Let me attempt to get our discussions back on track by initiating a few things to talk about. I am once again thrown by someone that reminded me yesterday how cold it is in Canada. How you have to shovel your way out of your house. Guys, how did you cope? Did you have to fall sick a couple of times before adjusting? I know oyibo would not give you antibiotics and the like when you catch the cold or flu. How did you cope? Did you have to get Benyln from Nija?? What about the kids? My kids do not even sleep under AC so this will be a huge adjustment for them. As for my husband, he never gets cold in a cold country so he will adjust just fine. I know someone has said the trick is to cover up on layers, but having lived in the U.K., even after covering up, you will still be cold. At least your nose will...lol. I understand that one gets used to it after a while but I want to know how you went through it. Coping mechanisms in extreme cold environment. Please share. 10 Likes |

Do we have any IT professionals that can share their experiences like: * Your work experience in Nija. * Did you have to do a Diploma course or certification to get a job in Canada? * How long it took to get a job in IT? * How quickly did you catch up at work? * Have you ever been fired for not doing your job well? * Did you switch careers from IT? To what and why? Was it a good decision? I have done all sorts that I can easily classify under NOC 2171 - IT Consultant. Have done a bit a web development as well. However, my Masters degree is in Web Technologies and Security. Anyone with IT Security experience in Canada?? I am wondering if this will be the right opportunity for me to develop that part of my career. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Can I carry my garri, crayfish, stock fish, egusi, and the likes into Canada?? Are we given the opportunity to declare these items? I have watched Border Control about Australia and have no idea what to expect with Canada. 3 Likes |

oohunt: Well the main coping mechanisms are staying in doors and layers.always buy good jacket and boots E.g there was Extreme cold weather alert in Toronto over the weekend, I wore three layers of trouser and four of top, then my jacket. On Friday just from bus stop to my house I felt my hand freezing despite wearing gloves. But that's was just for Friday and early Saturday You will get use to the cold, but some days is just too much. If you drive it might be better for you as oppose taking transit in which you have to wait for the bus. You can always get benylin equivalent from shoppers or other drug stores here and most migrant kids I know adjust fine. My friend son loves the snow, it usually a fight btw him and his mum when it snows as he wants to go out and play inside. 22 Likes 3 Shares |

oohunt: All these items I brought in when I came in 2015 thou as a student, but my husband brought same in December. Always declare them, I know they have issues with milk for some strange reason but people getaway with it . If coming to Toronto you can get this item very easy from iru to potash to yam 7 Likes 1 Share |

From what I have read so far, it seems US and Canada immigration are intertwined. Does it mean that if one is refused a US visa, the person will definitely not be granted a Canadian visa? What are the chances of Canada issuing you a (tourist) visa especially when you have unresolved issues with the US embassy? |
