MummyJaygirls: Don't worry now, by the time you collect like three - four 500 Dollars penalty and 9 demerit points your eye go clear. That is how your FRSC oga patapata and his duties failed their driving test when they went to Canada and trying to partner with them. And Canada said oya, let us put you to test, they all failed, three of them. Dem no dey do waka for the next driver o, dem no dey shout "you dey crase? you no dey see road?" laughs. Driving is a privilege not a right o Inugo!! 23 Likes |

Very useful thread for immigrants! We've recently immigrated to Toronto. Both my hubby and I were lucky to find a good work for us and a great daycare center ( https://cozytime.ca/ ) for our kids. Canada is our second home, we have already loved it! 27 Likes 7 Shares |

Thanks for this useful info boss! I will be using egypt air and I know the laid down kg is 23kg per bag and we r allowed to take just two bags+1 hang luggage. What of if the 2bags or one of them weigh like 25kg and the other weigh 23kg or both 25kg is it possible they waive it and allow me to go? And is it advisable to use padlock to protect your luggage 2. You also talked about putting some foodstuffs in the hand luggage, I heard any foodstuffs or eatable materials found in the luggage will be disposed( at mm airport). 3. Aside the 2bags, Am I allowed to carry a school bag + one small handbag 4. I heard perfumes are not allowed in passenger's luggage please how true is this? 5. The declaration form you talked about (for both foodstuffs and money) will it be provided without asking for it or we are meant to ask for it and if it will be provided, when should I expect it(on board or before) Please pardon my jjc questions o I cant keep mute when I know i dont know thanks in anticipation Ballerz: 5 Likes |

@ Ayoola03 Some answers to your post 1. You will pay for the difference above 46kg 4. Your perfumes should go with your check in luggage 5. Declaration forms will be given to you on board shortly before arrival. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Yooku: Please pardon the delay in replying. The training programs could come in the form of those organized by settlement agencies, bridging programs and/or internships. Let me illustrate based on my experience and research with examples; Access Employment, http://accesemployment.ca/index.php/working-in-your-sector They have great sector specific training programs which help internationally trained professionals to understand the Canadian work environment and prepare you for focused job search. They aid with resume writing, interview prep and most importantly, networking.

Following the internship, you are better equipped to tackle the wider job market and may be retained by your employer on a permanent, elevated basis. YMCA Employment Services, http://ymca.ca/What-We-Offer/Employment-Services Their programs are more general in nature for those who want opportunities in lower level work opportunities or trade occupations and youths. They also have placement opportunities, mentorship and one on one support. Dixie Bloor Neighborhood Centre, http://dixiebloor.ca/employment-2/job-search-workshops-for-newcomers-to-canada/ They have short job search workshops which are designed to help you identify steps to reach your employment goals and understand specific occupations in Canada.

The Mentoring Partnership, http://www.thementoringpartnership.com/mentoring/mentee/ A great way to get guidance from a professional working in your field of experience, I am a registered Mentor with this organization. For general newcomer assistance, how to learn about child care assistance, to do your taxes, general job search, how to register for things available to newcomers, try Centre for Education and Training, https://www.tcet.com/newcomer-info-services/locations This is not an exhaustive list please but just a few quick examples of where you can go to get assistance in the GTA, Ontario.
