Abby2017: It looks more like the experience was the main criteria even though I am not quite certain. It reinforces the fact that your local experience still matters just package it well. 2 Likes |

Oyamade:that is a frozen river...bow river. The pic below is a frozen lake from one of my trip to the canadian rockies. frozen lake are unique in saskatchewan, manitoba and other territories because new short cut routes are created..the lenght of your journey by road could be reduced by an hour(s). 3 Likes

Driving in a snow fall...before roads are cleared. Sometimes the snow storm could be so severe (a white out condition) and you wont see the car some meters in front of you. Roads can also be very slippery during winter, especially when there are lots of black ice, so some wits and skills may be required. 6 Likes

salford1: A friend of mine in Winnipeg had a fatal accident driving during winter. The black ice spun her car on to the train tracks. She was stapled from the neck down to her waist. Advice on winter tyres and driving with caution, cannot be over emphasized. But not to scare anyone though lol. Funny enough I passed my driving test on a snow day ![]() 6 Likes |

Canadianfly:Alot of people avoid raking road test in winter...the cars sometimes have a mond of their own during that season ![]() Hope she had a good recovery. I hate accidents in Canada...the accidents here are usually serious. Lots of t-boning do occur cos people miss the yield signs or misinterpret the right of way rules.. |

salford1: Lol! Yes they have a mind of their own, but that's the trick. The instructor will excuse any mistakes as the car's fault due to weather conditions ![]() However, I don't advise anyone who hasn't driven in harsh North America conditions before to try this oh. No go talk say Canadianfly advised we drive test on a snow day and run into somebody ![]() |

@ekpekus... Was referring to the horizontal white strip behind the tower, @salford said its The Bow river. The Olympic park is the white square in the SE of the photo right? So @salford, tell me something, do people drive across frozen lakes for the sake of short cuts!!!?? ![]() I have seen documentaries of fatal accidents on black ice, and towing services make tons of bucks During white outs ![]()

Oyamade: Driving on ice is very common in Saskatchewan. Students especially like driving using the shortcuts to save money on gas and reduce travel time cos sask is huge and long distance travel is very boring. Ice fishing is common too. People drill hole in the ice to pass the fishing line through. Yes...towing services make alot of money cos some cars fall into ditches....especially if its an unfamiliar terrain. toyogirl:Lol. In my opinion, in small towns across sask..most of the population are retirees and a few younger white population. For some reasons..you would also find lots of philipinos working in the food/restaurant industry and a few indians who usually owns the gas stations and work in stores. If you see a black person, he/she is likely working in a government office somewhere in town, or the person is likely a Nigerian medical doctor. There are few sudanese found around small town too.

Destination, Yorkton. Saskatchewan. Pic is downtown Yorkton. The city mall, stores, restaurant, hotels e.t.c are all located in this area. Yorkton with a population of 18,000 is the 4th largest city in Saskatchewan. A settlement in Alberta with that kind of population will not be given a city status.. Different province, different rules. Pic 2. Looking down from the hotel window. This hotel is likely one of the tallest buildings in town. Probably one of the tallest buildings in the city. Pic 3..one lovely thing about Canada is that no matter how small a town or city is, they always have events lined up for the summer...no dulling at all. 5 Likes

careerwoman:this is based on Canada immigration. Babe to pass plab is one thing.. To get a Damn job or residency is another. Same thing is usmle. My colleague wrote primaries, plab, usmle and got residency in the USA first before d UK or naija. So I say it's God grace. It's not on cap fits all 2 Likes |
