@Ehrnie, dupyshoo and TheWatcher212,

Please how did you guys navigate the 4 years working experience thing with your APEGA registration? I'm in the middle of the application process and my experience that would otherwise count as 6 years has been effectively reduced to 48 months max.

Kindly give me some pointers.

Modified: Please disregard this post. I managed to submit my application and currently under review. Thanks.

Try to check online and see what the added cost might run up to. Time of day when you check and also the proposed new date all have an effect on how much more you might have to pay for airline bookings/rescheduling, https://www.ethiopianairlines.com/AA/EN/

NO.
You would provide a license number which will be used to pull your record. Its a no brainer.
If you are confused with what I said about fake license, I was referring to the license I was holding before 2016
I don't know if you meant to be insultive or not. I only asked a question.

What if we land middle of school year?do they do intakes then?my son is in grade 2 now and will be 7 next year February .

Blackbuddy:


I stand corrected, if a child will not be exactly 6 years or over by the first day of the school year, he will actually be allowed to start in grade 1 provided he's 6 by December 31 that year.. Apparently the September cut off is not so strict in Ontario. I appreciate the experiences shared below.

Some schools with capacity for many students could accommodate taking in your child in the middle of the school year especially in newer neighbourhoods with large schools. A smaller school might not have room but don't worry. You can get referral to the next school in your neighbourhood's catchment area.

New PR holders and recently landed folks may wish to take advantage of these free webinars and online workshops for December. Just a little way to ensure you gain knowledge and hit the ground running.

I have not heard that WES accepts Statement of Result. The certificate remains your best bet. Make effort to obtain it if you can. Good luck.

Just saying, but questions like this stand a better chance of getting answers quickly on the FSW/EE thread.

Not only does WES accept Statement of Result for its credential evaluation(ECA), even CIC also accepts it for your e-APR.

I am speaking from experience.

I don't know which one of my words came out as being insulting. In fairness to the lexis/grammar of English, and my innocuous intentions, you have only succeeded in being condescending.

It depends on the specific ticket you've purchased. The ethiopian airlines semi flexible ticket charges $200 per person for changes. For most airlines, if the date you switch to has a ticket available at the price you initially paid or cheaper, you will only need to pay this $200. However, if the tickets available on your new date are more expensive, you will need to pay the difference as well. This often happens if the new flight details route you through different carriers and/or intermediary airports. It also sometimes happens if the carriers and airports don't change but if the new date is on a busier day or season for the airline, when they typically charge higher prices.

Lawyers in the house, please how easy was it to transition to the Canadian legal system? I heard the licensing process is tough. Please, can someone shed more light on it even if it is someone else's experience. Thank you.

Ejo please I need some direction. I just got PPR but have an international trip to make in two weeks. I have mailed my visa office asking for an extension but no response yet. Do I still go ahead and mail my passports? I really can't extend my trip beyond Dec 20.

As at now, only citizens can join and serve in any arm of the Canadian Armed Forces. A citizen of another country can not serve, even PR holders.
