Good morning Virtual Fam, I am in the process of booking our flight and just noticed that flights leaving Nigeria to Toronto on Thursdays are cheaper than other days of the week. Is there a reason to be concerned? We're looking at leaving on Thursday, the 28th of December and landing on Friday, the 29th (Friday). Is there a reason to be concerned? 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Quick question - Our flight will be landing in Ottawa by 9:55pm. Hope the immigration people will still be around to sort out our landing and PR card processing ? What time do they close for the day or are they always there no matter what time? |

Morbolar: We asked the question when collecting SIN and the answer is yes but with supporting documents. I believe you can even amend anytime you want...not having to wait until citizenship time. We will do ours once wifey's passport expires. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Thanks XX01. Yes, hubby is the PA and we want him to go first to sort out school for the children, get a job and rent apartment. We can then join once the Children finishes this session. XX01: 1 Like |

hayor2014:It's on a case by case basis. It's different for everyone. I know someone who got a lot of exception and only started at capstone and I know someone who had to start from PEP. If you are sure you are going to finish ACCA before coming, it's fine but there is something you need to know. The MRA agreement that ACCA was with CGA before they all merged to CPA. I read something on their website recently that they are reviewing details of MRA they have but won't affect those that have received the designation. I know some Nigerians started taking ACCA in Canada instead of CPA, the truth is if you get your ACCA designation while in Canada, you do not qualify for the MRA. studying is not that bad. Once you register for CPA, you can put that in your resume. A lot of accounting jobs ask for CPA students. 1 Like |

hayor2014:There are lots of accounting job in Winnipeg where I am, that first job is the hardest. But once you get it it makes everything easier. I'm going to give you my husband's experience. He got his CPA through MRA, got his first job after 3 months. During this time he attended workshops and stuff. He had 10 years of accounting experience in Nigeria,5 in full cycle accounting. When he got here he was told by his friends to go and hand his suit and tie that in Canada you cannot get an office job. He refused to give up and kept searching. He saw all manner of things. Some recruiter didn't know we have university in Nigeria and are wondering how a Nigerian could have the CPA designation. His first job was Accounts payable. He stayed there for 6 months then applied for an intermediate accounting job. He was successful but they weren't sure so they gave him a term contract. 3 months in they made him permanent. He is now a financial manager in the same company. All within 3 years. 40 Likes 5 Shares |

Kingbukaz:An average Canadian has 4 career changes in their life time. What I love about this country is that you can be anything you want to be as long as you are ready to work for it. Yes you can get a management trainee job. I think enterprise and u-haul have those positions. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

pauloverdi:Child benefit is for all children in Canada and it's calculated based on the age of the child and family income. You don't have a choice as long as you file your taxes.Daycare subsidy is to help with the cost of daycare, you have to apply for that one and it's also based on income. 10 Likes 5 Shares |

pauloverdi:It is a family application. Both spouses apply for it. Usually wife is the primary applicant and husband is the co applicant. Review the requirements based on your province though. I only know the process for Alberta. 5 Likes 6 Shares |
