salford1: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) |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by 40manlappy: 8:33am On Aug 24, 2017 |
Alikote: 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. https://www.nairaland.com/3999848/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled 1 Like |

Uaw. please in your request to ACCA, tell them to send the letter of good standing via courier. there is no charges. ACCA first sent mine via email. they rejected it so i had to request they send via courier. The most tasking one is gaining access to the online course because if you reside outside Canada, you can only pay via certified cheque and you need to raise a CAD certified cheque of 495.00 and send it to the same address. my sister in the US sha helped me raise the cheque and sent it to them. it took them almost 3 weeks to give me access to the online course. goodluck. follyzee: 1 Like 1 Share |

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 7 Likes |

tribeD: Hi, I believe you will be able to find a position to start off with based on your current experience while you pursue the necessary engineering licensure. A break down for this was recently shared on the thread by salford1, https://www.nairaland.com/3617393/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant/52#59515959 I wouldn't advise rushing into an MBA just yet, not that it isn't good but you may come to find life pulling your career in another direction in your field. I would feel you should land first, see what is happening, see where employers are hiring vis a vis your skills, network with people already working here, see where various sector of industry are heading and where/how you can position yourself for the long term future. An example, some people I know in Saudi Arabia are already thinking how they can transit their engineering skills in the petroleum sector towards solar technology as the Saudi government is diversifying away from dependence on revenue from fossil fuels. So likewise, research online and see where engineering is going in Canada and how you can position yourself to be in a good place 5 years from now professionally instead of doing 'catch up' at that time. I have a friend here who was into power systems back in Nigeria, batteries and electrical back up systems etc. Having landed here, he got a job in this same field through Linkedin but is now studying for an opportunity to get into solar power as a tech. He got his job and started to read and pass each stage of licensing and certification required for his job. Having gotten some certificates under his belt, he has switched to another employer and doing well. This guy is also now able to do minor electrical work for people and getting paid for it, private practice. The Ontario government is going big on solar power having shut down coal power processes a few years back. As manufacturing concerns are looking for cheaper and environmentally friendly power sources, they are taking advantage of government incentives to acquire and install solar power systems, not only nuclear. A lot of people are also getting solar systems for their personal homes and getting incentives from the provincial govt for this. Once one installs a solar power system in your home or personal business, you get a reduction in your hydro bill especially if you are generating and feeding power into the public grid. So you can imagine the sort of work/contract opportunities for the companies and people who have experience in this area. If after you land, you still want the pursue the MBA, good and fine. At least you would have 'seen for yourself', the way the wind is blowing and set your sails accordingly. My main point is please be open to what is available through lots of research for someone with your skills. Networking and reaching out to people on ground will save you lots of time and bring you closer to your aim. I came with certain expectations too based on my previous experience in control, audit and fraud investigation but I ran my ideas by those I met on ground in my banking and finance area. I learnt from their experiences and coupled with the training for experienced newcomers I received, I made some moves. Not long after, I found myself in AML Investigations, a related field I wouldn't have thought of back home. Less then 2 years at this job and another unit in the same bank is coming to poach me to join them on High Risk Investigations because of the successes I've recorded in my current unit. This is another people manager role, the only person hired at that level with non-Canadian experience in the group, no fancy certifications, just experience and demonstrated skills. If I was not open to research, study and mentorship, the story may have been different. If I had discounted my foreign experience, I would gone on a round-about journey only to arrive here in some donkey years whereas my directors value what I have to offer. I still pursue mentoring opportunities and also actively mentor others in return, that way, I'm ahead of the curve, always in the know as to what is going on. Please see this post I made concerning some organizations dedicated to helping newcomers find some success after landing, you can get in touch before you land to learn of how they assist and see if their services make sense for you. https://www.nairaland.com/3617393/living-canada-life-canadian-immigrant/43#59077193. Hope these tips help. 38 Likes 5 Shares |

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) 1 Like 1 Share |

Hamiltondreamer: 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 17 Likes 5 Shares |
