You can transfer you ICAN credit to CPA and complete the remaining courses to become a certified accountant. Do you have accounting experience?.

greetings:
Finally gotten here after two "lazy" weeks.

Very informative and interesting thread, officially moved here from the EE thread. Planning and preparing for our trip in a couple of months.

Seen familiar faces, sorry monicas

@40manlappy, your post led me here.

Cheers all, may we all live to witness and actualize our canny dreams.

salford1:

i think there is always a demand for transport and logistic professionals. There is a lot of freight(truck and train) activity in Canada. I dont know much about that sector in terms of evaluation of previous qualifications. You dont need canadian edu or experience to get jobs, having them only makes your job search easier. Just make the move if you can, have strong drive and determination, and be optimistic that things would suceed here.

Alikote:
which of the move is best express entry or post study work visa am 35 years old am very careful not to derail (if i was 27 i woudnt even think twice)

Hephgirl:
I'm following ur posts bumper to bumper. I'm a Dr and the tots en.. Hmmmm

ugoiyke79e:



Very truee @bolded....
Thanks for your contributions vcole,ekpekus,sweetrie........
we shall all get there....
and a support group wouldnt be a bad idea though

Ekpekus:

There are a lot of support group for IMGs depends on the city/province you reside. In Alberta, we have AIMGA.
Also you can also see folks online..
Pls check this website RXPGonline dot com

salford1:

Never worked in the patch even when Alberta was on full steam. I worked office roles(design) in Red deer/Calgary.
When all was good in alberta, you could get your advanced class 5 drivers license, safety certifications from enform in calgary or ndt/power/process operator classes at sait or nait, and that would keep some change in your pocket. You could still research those options as you never can tell. You might still be able to break it in with some certifications.

As per licensing...i gave some info on my earlier post. Much also depends on your discipline. Civil guys without their license are still doing alright if you can break into material testing(not met/mat)...still lots of road maintenance going on with lots of OT.

Like the Anthony Martial fan on twitter who said Hello to him every day for almost 3 months before he got a response, I would also send this every day until someone replies me..........

Please where's the best province for an IT Auditor/ Securities who has wholly worked in the banking sector (Operations and Audit)

Na to wait till una reach house. Lock all doors and windows. . . As long as there is no evidence. We good.

Hephgirl:


I keep thinking about it o.... How to deal with dem without cane or yelling.
I point my finger and behave as tho I will flog him with my finger.... That has been working for now. Lol
With have to start researching Other options. Lol

40manlappy:


IMO, you should be fine with Express Entry (see link below) in view of your age and qualification. When you land, your tuition fees would be lower. You may wish to wait for salford1's suggestion.

my research shows TORONTO in ONTARIO is the city for IT, ACCOUNTING/FINANCE professionals. i also hear living there is expensive so you can live in the surburbs and commute daily to work.

Hello everyone, this thread is awesome..

I finally completed reading from pages 0-60 of this thread and I must commend everyone who has been contributing. I salute our elders here : Blackbuddy the gentle helper and encourager; maternal- the hard hitting, blunt but practical man, TheCongo2- insightful with very strong and helpful points, Salford1- my fellow Engineer with pictures and fantastic contributions that make one feel like they are in Canada already. Vcole, honey86: Wura27, SlowlybtSurely , 40manlappy , Ehrnie , Ekpekus, dupyshoo, Ballerz, Canadianfly, MummyJaygirls and every other person I say a big thank you for keeping this thread alive and for your insightful contributions.

We are awaiting our stamped passports and our profile on myCIC account has finally shown ‘approved’.

A quick one, I have a Masters in Chemical Engineering from the UK (same field for B.Sc) but about 4 years experience is in drilling with an international firm. I want to move on to my main field which is chem. Engr, please what course(s) and/or certifications would you suggest I pursue. I am doing my own research at the moment.
Will an MBA help in terms of getting better job for an Engineer?

Cc black buddy, salford1, maternal, fusion23, TheCongo2

Hamiltondreamer:
Hello all the guru's here, a baby member of EE thread but no harm in asking questions now. I would like to find out if anyone knows about working with NGOs, advocacy groups and what province is good for me.
I am a lawyer but I don't want to practice law in Canada. My focus is on human management and social change/advocacy (I used this term cos that's what I see abroad people call those who work with NGOs).

Please an guidance on province and establishment to look out for.
I also want to look at schooling options that's one can do part ime or even online.
@blackbuddy I have this uncanny feeling I know you. Did you go to OSU and worked in 1st Bank before relocating (sorry if the question is personal)

Blackbuddy:


Hi, in any location you have people, there will always be the need for persons who can manage them and the processes for social change. That being said, I think any province would have a need for people with your skills just that it might be easier to break into the field in some locations more than others. So I think you might find it beneficial to work from a place where you have some comfort for a start, that is where you have family and friends to act as your settlement/support base. So look at those places where you have people you can rely on as you find your feet, research the work opportunities there and if available, the free newcomer training resources. Most cities have these newcomer agencies, funded by government for this purpose.

As you research the job vacancies you find online for these cities, check to see if/which certifications are required. By the time you check about 20 to 60 vacancies, you would have seen which requirements or certification they have in common. Then you find which institute/school offers the certification and what else is required. Your family and friends may be able to put you in touch with someone in this field and from there you speak to them and their colleagues, expanding your network. A simple online search can show you schools that have the course on offer and you read online reviews to have a sense of them and their reputation. Look at the LinkedIn profiles of people working in this field, see which certification they hold and where they got it from. Reach out to some of them, you never know if they will connect with you and offer some tips. Many will not respond but the few that do can make a world of difference, just keep your requests short, polite and sweet. There are many paralegal opportunities as well you could consider with some recruiting agencies available to assist with work opportunities especially in larger cities. I think this would be a good way to start of your research.

Hope this assists you and by the way, I didn't go to OSU or work in First Bank but I know we are all part of the same Canadian family
