salford1:If that's the case, then Canada should be an attractive destination. Someone said the taxes in the UK are higher but a Canadian lady in my office who just got her UK citizenship said taxes are higher in Canada. She's a management level staff. I used to wonder why she'd take up UK citizenship until I heard her say that. |

I agree with you. Where I live in Greater Manchester, you can even get a 3-bed semi detached house in a very good neighborhood for £400 and buy a 3 bed house for about £80-110k. Bus passes are cheaper, car insurance is cheaper, council tax is cheaper, no congestion charge, you can park anywhere you like and you can even be earning a lot more than those living in London. I can't stop thinking why some people are still living in London. Suffering and smiling in my own opinion. Adiahabasi: 3 Likes |

dupyshoo: The weather is a factor. London is much warmer compared to Manchester. For someone like me that is really a deal breaker. Even in the winter the temperature are still 3 to 5 degrees higher in London. |

A quick question please. Especially to those who got PR while pregnant. How did you scale through medicals while pregnant knowing fully well that radiological findings is part of the medical test. Or you got pregnant after medicals? @vcole and others. Abeg help me torchlight this. Thanks |

Hi Yimiton, any update? [quote author=yimiton post=60937035]My Dear people, please don't blame me for being impatient oh, in my mind, I am already in Canada and I plan to leave in December or latest January. But you know, final arrangement like sale of property and booking of flight cannot be confidently done unless we see our COPR and stamped passports. So, to help me plan properly, I will appreciate if you will drop how long it took from the day Accra received your passports to the day they you got the mail, informing you that they're ready. We tracked and saw that ours were delivered to Accra on the 22nd of September, 2017. Please how long did yours take? |

Oyamade:There is absolutely no reason why anyone should assume the gender of another person when it's undisclosed. That's the reason why adding your gender to your profile or making it public is an "option" and not the norm. So, yes I should complain. Most especially when it has become a recurring decimal of genders being assumed to be male by default. It has so many undertones to it. Does it mean that only a male has a functioning brain and the ability to make meaningful contributions to a topic and a female does not? Since this has happened several times not just to me but to other female contributors on this platform it is worthy of mention and I do not think it's something that should keep happening. A contributor can be asked a question or mentioned without any allusions to gender. 22 Likes 1 Share |

dupyshoo:Hola! No worries. I'll help in any way I can. Thetherapist:You have the option to wear a protective jacket and get the xray done if you are pregnant or you decide to defer the xray until you are delivered of your baby after which you would then get it done. If you choose the latter then your application would remain suspended until you conclude medicals. I was about 8 weeks pregnant or so when i got my medicals done but i was not aware that I was and so I got my xray done without a protective jacket. If I was aware that I was pregnant I would have opted to get the xray done with a protective jacket. I believe a radiographer had a debate over the matter on the express entry thread back then. It's up to you and what you feel comfortable with after obtaining all the requires information and discussing with your doctor. 2 Likes |

maygreaves:No be only madam. Hello Oga, Madam or Oga-madam. No I do not. It's illegal to possess any other drivers license alongside the Alberta DL. So you submit all drivers licenses in your possession to the registry. yimiton:I think menial jobs are minimum wage paying jobs. $13.60/hr now in Alberta. Those are like Wal-Mart cashier jobs, kfc/mcdonalds etc etc front desk kinda jobs. I may be wrong but I assume these are what menial jobs here are. I met a lady recently who works part time as a customer service representative at superstore and said she gets full dental coverage and added health benefits from that job because its unionized. It was interesting to me to hear that a "menial job" had a benefits package. Most jobs here are applied for online or by dropping your resume off at the office of the proposed employer or by word of mouth. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Just let them know that you are pregnant, they know how to handle radiology during the medicals, your tummy would be covered so it doesn't affect the baby. being pregnant does not affect your medicals...they may require that you do additional test but that's about it. i was required to do an additional test because my blood sugar was high. We scaled through medicals easily so not a problem at all. Thetherapist: 4 Likes |

Thanks a lot. When I hear 'menial jobs' what readily jumps into my mind are gate keepers and corpse cleaners. I don't mean to demean any job, I mean, that's what readily comes to my mind. vcole: 2 Likes |
