Good day fam, I have almost completed my transition from the express entry thread to this one thanks to the fact that I got PPR yesterday and have sent passports to Accra VO. I have been thinking seriously about how best to move my funds to Canada successfully considering the fluctuating exchange rates? Do banks still issue PTA to PR visa holders? What's the maximum duration of bank statement I can print out and hold as POF for POE purpose? Cc black buddy, salford1, maternal, fusion23 2 Likes |

freeradical: they rarely ask, don't let me say the don't ask for proof of funds at point of entry try with the PTA mine was said i was in the air when it was approved after putting so much pressure on them and applied 3 weeks before departure, but then things were so bad even the airport fx didnt have . Also see if u can open dorm account or ask bankers around. 3 Likes |

@salford1 I want to clarify something for some sake, is it possible to get an engineering degree from a Canadian university and still end up as a tradesman, how does one go about it? I was chatting with a friend and he mentioned how tradesmen earn a lot more so he (my friend) wants the degree for the respect and status quo but wants to work as a tradesman for the money! How does he achieve this? He's only 19, (he's joining nairaland soon tho) Cc: |

Happy sunday folks. Would like to hear from the experienced folks their experiences flying any of the African airlines (ethiopian, egypt air, royal air maroc, rwandair, etc) to canada. What are the unique upsides/ downsides of each carrier? Please share your experiences so we jjc's can make an informed choice. The rates I'm seeing on travelstart for some of them compared to the general average rates seem a bit too good to b true |

Blingyrie: Hi - see official CIC info below ORDER OF LANDING FOR FAMILIES/DELAYED ARRIVAL: There are two options for family landings. Whichever option you choose, it is important to remember that the principal applicant must always be the first landed. Option A: The entire family (including the principal applicant) lands together. If you choose this option, all family members must land at the same time and at the same port of entry. Option B: The principal applicant lands first alone. The dependants may then follow the principal applicant at a later date provided their COPR’s remain valid. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I have been following this thread for a while now but I'm yet to read about anyone who lives in Canada or landed with a Temporary work permit... Does that mean that it doesn't work for Nigerians or what? Pls someone should clarify me because i once met somebody who wants to travel with the W-1 visa to Canada. Thanks |

Quick question to folks who have been in Canada long enough, how does one renew an expired license? So my Manitoba drivers license expired 2 years ago, after I left Canada, and now I am applying through the EE route. Say I get back to Manitoba, or any other province like Alberta or Ontario, how do I renew it? Would I be asked to take another driving test? Whats the process or renewing an expired Canadian license? And does the fact that it's been 2 years count? Just thinking ahead....Thanks guys. |

CanadianNurse:It is possible but not common. One of the smartest guys I have met in the electrical industry has 3 designations: journeyman, certified engr. technologist and PEng....that is atleast 10 years of schooling. It's all a matter of choice. The downside is that an Engineering degree does not qualify one to work as a tradesperson. The trades just like Engineering are regulated professions with very strong unions; hence, one would be required to spend another 4 semesters of schooling split into one semester per year (for Electrical) i.e 8 months on the job training and 4 months of classes per year. Total = 4 years. Another option is to challenge the journeyman red seal exams, but he would need to show proof that he has worked as a trades person in the past before he can be allowed to sit for the challenge exams. 2 Likes |

Canadianfly:If the expiry is less than 3 years, you would only be recommended for an eye test and proof of residency. If it has expired for over 3 years, then you would need to do the written and road test again. To renew an expired license of less than 3 years, just walk into a registry or government office responsible for issuing driver's license. You would be required to proof your residency, pay fees, pass a vision test, have your pic taken, then expect it in the mail. 2 Likes |
