Hello everyone, please I want to know if the details (basically name) on PR card is tied to your passport. Ehm, my passport bears my maiden name and my application as well. So wanted to be sure that I would have the option to state that my PR card bear my husband's family name. 1 Like |

Hello Ehrnie and all my senior colleagues, Pls while filling in the application for EIT with APEGA did you use a Nigerian address for the address section or a Canada address. I have been trying to use my Naija address to no avail. It keeps giving the error message below: Could not verify the following location: City [Lagos Mainland] State/Province: [Lagos] Country: [Nigeria]. Please check the spelling and try again Pls any suggestion on this issue. Ehrnie: 1 Like |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Ehrnie: 2:24pm On Sep 19, 2017 |
tribeD: Not sure I can fully answer your query because I didn't use a Nigeria or CAN address. I used a UK address and didn't have any issue. Why not try the step below; As you type into the “City” field, a list of pre-existing entries will appear. The list will narrow down as you continue to type each letter. If the city already exists in the list, you can select it by clicking on the name when you see it. If the city does not exist, you can continue typing and enter the new city name. Let's know if that works... All the best! |

XX01: Yea 4 or 5. I think it depends on province. Lol @ how to behave. That'll be the case for my last child. Just 6 months and I'm hoping the 1st child will also help in teaching when the time comes. Lol @ far away. I feel you. Even though my 1st is almost 3 now, 4 still seems like a million years away. But it's just one more year |

The kind of stuff mothers go through. I have 2 kids. 7 and 4 and I have been checking Simon fraser school rankings online to know my preferred schools and the district so I can jejely look for houses there. I hope my kids can adapt easily to school and not droo om grades due to adjustment. I heard its not easy Meanwhile, someone told me a lot of mothers get depressed the first couple of months that they move because of the non stop housework and kids running around. Especially for people like me with 2 helps ***crying face*** 15 Likes 3 Shares |

nkigirl: Hahaha @ your last paragraph. I have never been one for helps sha, maybe coz I moved to Naija recently and I no get strength to beg anybody to do anything for me. I have always done Creche and Daycare. Pick the kids on my way back from work, bath everybody and call it a night. So I guess there will be no difference for me when I move hahahaha as per no depression lol. I'll miss my cleaner though. He comes twice a week. That's what I'm worried about when we eventually move. Getting a cleaner. In Yankee, you can get them very easily for $40 per week. Any way, you'll be fine once you get into a routine. Get the kids into a routine, everybody to bed at 7pm so you can breathe. I was hardcore with my two kids, sleep trained them at 2 months to sleep through the night coz I can't come and die. That what I had time for other things, cooking, etc. In fact if you want me to share my excel sheet routine with you, send me a pm. Hopefully you won't be scared like this woman has her kid on robot mode hahaha 15 Likes 5 Shares |

hi everyone been a minute. @Ehrnie, you are female! i am also a bit surprised at that revelation. LOL!!! @impish well done @ your home schooling. I do not think I can home school my toddler, he is that child that literally lives for the great outdoors and thrives on socializing. He speaks to people on the elevator, in malls, on the street when we go for walks, etcetera. In fact, most of the people we have now met and been acquainted with is thanks to the lil' man. So, he has started off at a day home this fall. The past 4 months with him at home were "epic" coupled with the fact that I have an infant. It was just about time for him to go out. Rotflmao! @the ipad situation, my son wasn't a TV or tablet child until we got here and he developed an addiction to his tablet that I got so worried about. Surprisingly after about 2 months he woke up one day and was over it. So, with kids I think they transition from one stage to the next. Try to reduce his screen time but don't fret over it, he would move on before you say Jack. @salford1 this una weather na one in town. Last week, i forgot to check the forecast and dressed very light when I went out. Let's just say that would NEVER happen again! I literally froze my a** off and had to make an impromptu and unnecessary jacket purchase since I had a meeting and could not go back home. However, so far so good in Calgary.

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 8:28pm On Sep 19, 2017 |
Sleep routine is so key for kids. I didn't exactly have a help back in Nigeria as well so routines are so key. I did have someone who did cleaning and ran errands on demand but my spouse and I still did domestic work so it was not such a drastic change. If your spouse is also domesticated then its easy as you both help each other out. If not, its still all good. You would not have to clean your house everyday if your kids aren't "messy" We vacuum once a week and try to wash the bathrooms once in 2 weeks but its more like once in a month now We have wash days. Its Wednesdays for us., split into 3 washes for adults,kids and then my baby, just because we use different detergents for the kids. If you don't like washing plates then the dishwasher is your friend. Load it up during the day and run the cycle at night. We try to take our garbage out once every 2 days but its more like once every 5 days now Currently grocery shopping is about once in 3 weeks. It really is not as hard as you think. You would adjust easily. For me the hardest thing is if you are with your kids 24/7. You begin to realize that children do not do well when in a confined space. So, you can deal with this by taking them for play dates or even to the park regularly. They would be easier to handle and would sleep better when they are able to play and interact with other kids. 26 Likes 8 Shares |
