TheCongo2: She's trolling you I think. If not her ignorance on Canada is appalling. Canada where you can be driving during the day while they play flavour on the radio, speaking full blown igbo is not exposed ? Or hongcover aka Vancouver is a mini China with Chinese writings everywhere is not exposed ? 14 Likes |

Hello guys, I have a big problem, I just finished my national diploma last year, my dad is out of job and he recently sold his only car for me to travel cos I had a agent who said he will do it for me, I tried the express entry but am not eligible and all to no avail, I even tried taking nanny/caregiver jobs who are willing to process a LMIA but they all want a female. Now am stuck, junior ones looking up to me because believe me everything is hard after dad is out of job. I have my passport and 800k with me from d sold car and am willing to do any menial jobs just to carter for my family. I need help please@ martenal, Salford blackbuddy canadiary congo2 dupyshoo everyone ...... Your help and advice needed! |

yokus: You know @yokus, i was thinking the same thing.. wat context of exposure are we talking abt, canada has one of the highest ratio of educated people in the word... The so called exposed cultures have more bad than good...my view from what I have read so far and from everyone's experience here is that Canada is more balanced, it settles in-between the exposures of UK and the culture of USA.. 6 Likes |

timil99: you have to be very careful else that money could disappear. you would need a HND/BSC and a year work experience for EE. study visa would have been posible if you had money for living expenses and tuition. as it were i dont know of any legitimate means you could employ. but if you have a sponsor, preferably a blood relative who has a fat bank balance, he could stand in and assist with POF and letter of sponsorship for a study visa. note it is a gamble and you could lose substantial chunk of the 800k without any result. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

timil99:Guy, to be honest with you, you'd be better off investing that money in a business in Nigeria than using it to travel to Canada. The fact that you mentioned an agent and with that amount of money tells me you will soon lose all of it because it is not enough to make any meaningful progress with the processes. You can still make it in Nigeria if you start small and remain disciplined. 12 Likes |

Canadianfly: Our plan is to do short landing of about 2 weeks. Scope is bank account and SIN. Since its a short stay, was considering Airbnb but just occurred to me that it may not suffice for proof of address. Can someone please help clarify this so we can adjust plans. Thanks.

alt3r3g0: Short Landing of two weeks, or 2 months , you cant leave canada without your PR Card, its not advisable..once you land at least someone needs to get the PR card cos ur visa will be cancelled on arrival. Consider that too |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by alt3r3g0: 12:30am On Sep 04, 2017 |
Fusion23: Thanks for the info. I have already arranged to have someone collect and send down. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hamiltondreamer:Hi Hamilton. I'm wondering the same thing. I saw your post several days ago and have been looking out for a response to it. It seems HR is not popular among immigrants hence the dearth of response and information on this thread. From some eesearch , I get the impression that its a difficult field to break into. I thought of doing a PGD, but I'm getting a bit confused. Please share any additional info you may come across. Good luck! 4 Likes |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by alt3r3g0: 11:58pm On Sep 04, 2017 |
TheWatcher212: Many thanks! will consider that option as well. Can anyone confirm if airbnb will suffice for proof of address? |

alt3r3g0: You are correct that using yor AirBnB address isnt wise as that is a temporary address and who knows who will be occupying the address when your PR card arrives there. Your PR card should be handled like a security document so the AirBnB address is not advisable, rather give the address of a Canada based family member or friend who can be trusted to get it across to you. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by alt3r3g0: 4:44am On Sep 05, 2017 |
Blackbuddy: Thanks for the response. Sorry i was not clear enough. As for the address where the PR card will be sent, that will be to a friend. The Airbnb is if it will be accepted as proof of address for opening a bank account. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by czaratwork: 5:12am On Sep 05, 2017 |
please for landed/settled members here please arrange in order of priority 1. open an account 2. get an accomodation 3. get a phone plan it seems these three are interwoven because you will need the address for all others and you will need an account for the other payments and you will also need phone number for the other 2. thank you 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TheCongo2: 5:23am On Sep 05, 2017 |
czaratwork: I guess you will get an accommodation before landing, else where will you be heading to after leaving the airport? 3 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TheWatcher212: 7:43am On Sep 05, 2017 |
czaratwork: What if you have a family member who is resident in Canada, can you use his utility bill etc as Proof of Address? Will this Suffice for those doing a short landing? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Ehrnie: 8:31am On Sep 05, 2017 |
TheWatcher212: I don't think you can use it. Your proof of address has to have your name on it - that's why it is a PROOF of YOUR address. Someone suggested getting a phone plan (a one month plan) and use the bill processed for that as a Proof of Address. I stand to be corrected. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by toyogirl: 9:18am On Sep 05, 2017 |
Hi, Pls, I'd like some clarification on this: is our income/tax records in Nigeria required for a new immigrant? If yes, how many years do they usually ask for? I have read somewhere that they may ask for the records of 3yrs prior to landing...but it wasn't quite clear. Thanks |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Glowingx: 11:38am On Sep 05, 2017 |
Nice to here at last. Thanks for the wealth of knowledge, am confused presently. I want to do course by course evaluation with WES in preparation for an after-degree nursing programme,issue is I don't know if have to send my WASEC certificate or just evaluate my Degree transcript already with WES. Would really like inputs, thank you |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by SlowlybtSurely: 1:05pm On Sep 05, 2017 |
Glowingx: This totally depends on the university. Some ask for WASCE transcript and certificate, others don't. Some just need your BSc transcript without WES evaluation. So research the school and email them if you need clarification. 1 Like |
