Ytechconst: Thanks for sharing this. A search on ICCRC registry for registered consultants turned up no result for ELB, the named firm in Canada. A search on BBB also showed turned up nothing. That being said, it would be nice to know the outcome of the process for your friends. 4 Likes

There are different types of people in this group. There are the pessimists, the supposed realists and the optimists. A friend of mine who got PR from express entry just got a really good job in Ontario and she hasn't even landed! She doesn't have any foreign experience and no foreign education. She works with a "multinational" in Naija. I would soon post my story too! With God all things are possible. I choose to be among the optimists. Which one are you? 47 Likes 3 Shares |

Good evening honorable nairalanders, as i am feeling now i really want to move to Canada, i live in Abuja Nigeria and i am tired of the whole situation in Nigeria. I studied Civil Engr with a GPA of 3.12 in a good reputable university here in Nigeria but its not as i thought it would be after 4yrs of schooling. I have saved $2600 since my stay in Abj and i intend to travel to Canada and make a living for myself. Any Nairalander in Canada shuld help and advice me. Thanks |

Ballerz:Many many thanks! I'm not a landed immigrant but planning to go as a student and I'm currently looking at schools. ( I will also have my 2 kids with me). I am between Toronto and Winnipeg because I have family friends there. I am hoping to apply for PR after school so I'm looking at the easiest province to get PR and jobs. I'm not too keen on Winnipeg because of the cold. I prefer Toronto because of the opportunities. The expense, though! And I hear its more difficult to get PR as a student in Ontario. How true is that? Any advice would be great. Thanks |

Arielle:Lived in Winnipeg and I can tell you for free, you'll get PR quicker in Winnipeg than Toronto. Manitoba will nominate you in a heartbeat after your studies. I know it's cold but you gotta decide what you desire most? Something's gotta give. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Wura27: So you now agree that there is no one size fits all. When Brother Maternal kept telling someone without Canada education, he has zero chance and he said is just being a realist and you were supporting his theory.

Arielle:You just cope. Even the Canadians that live there are not used to the weather. But you must get around your daily life. Look for my previous posts about living in Winnipeg on this thread. Your kids will adjust even more than you, so don't worry about them trust me. Also check honey86's posts. Anything you want to know about the city, I will answer you to the best of my abilities. Don't be scared of snow You can always move to Toronto when you have your PR and "learnt" the country. You'll be fine |

Lol I know what a multinational is so trust me when I say it is. The Head office is not in Naija but she works in their Naija office Canadianfly: @yooku Yes, it is a job with a different company. Same job function as the one in Naija but a completely different company. Like working as an IS Consultant with KPMG Naija and getting a job as an IS Consultant with PWC Canada. This is just an example. Yooku: Hahaahaha.... I don't even want to be hearing his stories again. I'd just stick to the positive stories and strive towards that.... #lawofattraction Ballerz: 4 Likes |

hi guys. just wondering if anyone has any information on a career in procurement in Canada? did some research and saw BC are including purchasing manager as an in demand job in the province. my first degree is in engineering however I have since crossed into procurement. any ideas on networking or certification or even interning? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 6:50pm On Sep 07, 2017 |
Funny thing is she got the job via the same job bank that we've been abusing. Not from the nonsense notifications they send o, she was searching for what she wanted. She has been telling me to search but I just never really believed any one could get a job before landing. dtush: Now that I can't say.... I asked her and she said maybe.... I personally think the organization she works with in Naija, her Naija experience, and her success in the interview. She did Skype interviews and said the second one was rigorous and lasted about an hour and a half. cochtrane: 3 Likes |

Hello good people, Please could anyone offer advice/direction on public/community health practice in Canada? My wife is a Medical Doctor and also has a Masters in Public Health. She worked with WHO on contract for a while as Local Govt Area Facilitator in Port Harcourt - they go to communities to sensitise, give talks, vaccinate and monitor for outbreak of epidemic diseases, etc. We are expecting PR and would appreciate any info that might be helpful in this regard. Thanks. 1 Like |
