hayor2014: Do some more research before you start ACCA. From my research on Ontario CPA, you need to have started from the scratch with ACCA else you can't use conversion route. You can as well write the CPA directly. With ICAN, you might get some exemptions and attempt the CFE. There is a webinar for CPA Ontario coming up later this month. I will share the link once I find it. 2 Likes |

salford1: Yea well bell, Rogers and Telus are for rich people lol. I was on Fido for about $45 and I had long distance call to U.S for an additional $5. I hope they still have good plans like this. Your shaw bill no be joke oh. Tv for me then was 10 bucks. But this is in Winnipeg. So what I'm seeing is that Alberta is quite expensive oh. Electricity too in Winnipeg was dead cheap because of the dam. But my issue with the city is there are not much jobs. I'll still stick with my Ottawa, and GTA as that's where I'm seeing jobs in my field and hubby's too. Read the josh story too, good read. @vocle, you brought down my fears with that $9600. Cause $18K scared me oh lol 2 Likes |

einsteino:CVE is still the engineering profession with most job opening. I don't know of any other engineering profession that is more marketabke tha mn civil in Canada. There are always openings for construction managers, surveyors, dam engineers, transort engineers and geotechnical. Geotechnical being the most paying specialty. If i was to study engineering all over again, i would go the civil route. Even in Nigeria, you would rarely find an unemployed civil engineer... 1 Like |

MummyJaygirls: I guess I should have said PPR. COPR is the letter. Please correct me if I am wrong. I have been waiting for the passport request. At a point I thought I got the email and deleted it unknowingly. But God have me the grace to be patient. And it came. I have a question though. The letter stated that the validity of the visa is dependent on the expiration of my medicals or passport which ever come first. My question is, does this mean that I must travel, and won’t be able to renew/repeat the medicals? Or this option no longer applies? 1 Like |

Though they are very generous with minutes and data, but once you are outside the city limit, it would just start to roam. I moved from freedom to virgin, but wife still sticks to freedom since she is always in Calgary. $9600 is very very good for 2 kids attending fulltime day care.... |

Canadianfly:10 dollar tv package? maybe you were in Canada many moons ago or manitobans wont give in to the excesses of those bullies.. lol. The cheapest package i believe is now $25 then you have options to select themes like kids, documentary, news e.t.c The themes cost like just under $10 i think. Once i am done with my shaw contract. I would downgrade the tv plan and add a kids theme. That plus internet would work out to arround $100. |

Tosean:Saskatoon is just like Regina, but i find it more beautiful than Regina. It's also just 5hrs away from edmonton. Has a moderate nigerian population just like regina, and there is an African shop in saskatoon know for selling cheaper than normal african foodstuffs. Lots of jobs in Saskatoon too. Sask generally has a good employment rate cos people won't move there cos of the cold and conservative people. This is one province where Nigerian students do very well after grad despite being on post study work permit. 18 Likes 13 Shares |

Kindly advise. I considered conducting my PhD research in Canada 2yrs ago and after going through the website of the top three unis in Canada, all of my queries were not exactly clarified. I then googled studying for a PhD in Canada, only to find that majority of the reviews advised potential candidates to 'run' while they still had the chance, as studying for a PhD in Canada was akin to committing research suicide. Some of the reasons they gave included the long time it takes to complete an average research degree (more than the stated period) and the most shocking was that the country itself does not value its own PhD; instead, it considered foreign PhDs from other 'developed' countries superior post-graduation. They claimed that it was only advisable for those from 'developing' countries who need the PR. At the time of my findings 2yrs ago, I wasn't ready for the sacrifice that research required. Presently I am, and I have also started to look into this again. A few weeks ago, I contacted two Canadians by e-mail who had recently graduated from the University of Sussex and Oxford in the UK (the latter is of African descent), and they somewhat reiterated a similar stance to my earlier finding. Btw, University of Sussex is a top school in the ID sector globally. I also spoke to a mentor, who is European but currently works as a director in a popular international development agency in Canada. He also advised against this, although with subtlety and not directly. The information on this thread about how Canadian education and work experience is fundamental to success in Canada is contrary to everything I have heard, examples of which are highlighted in my post. While I have not read a post on this thread about anyone in the international development sector, I'll appreciate it if those already in Canada could advise me on the general perception of Canadian PhD degrees in the country. Also, what is the international development sector in Canada like generally? My main research area is in the social sciences (Both First and Masters' degrees and I intend to continue in the same faculty), but I doubt that I want to work in academia. UN-type career or a research institute like the overseas development institute is more like what I intend to do post-study. Thanks. 8 Likes |

Please for those of us here that have successfully upgraded their WES ECA to course by course, did WES ask you to send the documents again (certificate and transcripts) because that's what they show in my account although I am yet to make payment. Also, was their the option of upgrading to ICAP(the one that store the transcripts for future purpose) instead of basic? |

salford1: Nah. I'm talking like 2014 price. It was a theme, and I got it cause my folks were visiting so I called Shaw and had the tv package added on to my internet for $10. Which I disconnected after they left lol. We pretty much watch everything on the Internet, even for the kids. Have you heard of FireTv? Anyway, we got one of those and use it sometimes here in Naija and that's the plan for tv when we move. Your monthly internet bill is not for new immigrants oh.

Right now, ICAN had direct affiliation with CIPFA UK though(no examination),and CIPFA gets you to CIMA,I think you will write 2 papers only to qualify,then you get CPA from CIMA ( there is MRA between CIMA and CPA). see what laziness has turned me into,looking for shortcut,up and down.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Institute_of_Chartered_Accountants 6 Likes |

oohunt: I have met a couple who used this route and these folks are not a nuisance. They are just looking for better opportunities. No be everybody fit go the EE route. Some can never pass the IELTS or cannot even near WES. Some don even buy their own house, drive Benz 2017 - Husband and wife and living comfortably well. Another (Ghanian) runs an African shop. The guy can market choi.... "If you cook my Iru" He owns his 2,000 sqm shop in Toronto fully paid. House checked. He is planning to open another store in Brampton. No be one way enter the market. And since the country is passionate and accommodating to all... They cannot try this with Mama Charlie country, they will throw you back to the wolves and sharks. This route is for the lion-wolf-iwin hearted. It is a 50 - 50 Chance. They are risking it all like a blackjack game. 12 Likes 1 Share |
