Ayoboy1: hey guys, my wife only has a statement of result from her school NAU, Awka. she recently called the school to confirm if her certificate i ready and after the school official asked her the year she graduated(2009) her course of study, faculty and a bunch of other questions, the lady simply said,"are you sure the cerificate is even ready yet?" .This is the school's official who doesnt think that a BSC cert since 2009 is ready.anyway, that is a story for another day. I will just like to know if my wife can use her statement of result to work in Canada. We are due to arrive in April and i'm asking so i know whether to save the money it will cost to send my wife to Awka to personaaly hunt down the certificate. All the seniors in the house...what's your experience with this issue? I look forward to your responses Thanks |

Macjazzy: Sorry boss. We are tied down with exams as such I might not be giving you the response you require. I would suggest you post your questions here, so others can help out or learn from the answers. If you already have your TRV, then you must have been admitted. Just get yourself here and face the dance. One quick note: The book and research no be beans...Ready yourself. |

SlowlybtSurely:it shows the pain some of us in regulated professions have to go through. Crossing from one province to another to work is even wahala, and to think that the population of the country is just over 36million. If my wife was to move to the next neigbouring province to practice, the next province would also demand a yearly $2k fee. @accountant op, welcome to Canada in advance ![]() My advice would be that whatever you do either sask or ontario, do it fast...regulatory exams are becoming harder and getting more expensive... If you get your qualifications in Sask, you would be sble to use it to work in a different province in the future once you pay the annual practice fee to whatever province you move to. You might also want to check if you would need to log practice hours in your initial province before you can move to another. TEECANN: |

kachikapor: Bro, if you want your certificate simply apply. Your wife's certificate would never be ready. I finished from UNIZIK in 2014 and i collected my certificate earlier this year. It took me only a week to get mine, i had to pressure them. If you have someone in Awka the person can help you initiate the process while you travel to just pick it up. Cheers |

Hello everyone. For those who have kids, how did they adapt to the school system? It's a different curriculum, friends, way of teaching etc. My kids are 7 and 4 and I am a little worried. I feel I need to prep them somehow. I would also like to know about private schools/catholic schools and public schools. I know the canadian school system is generally good. But considering the Nigerian system we come from, are the private or catholic schools better than public in terms of education, morality, discipline etc? Also, if you live in Calgary, what are the good elementary schools either private, public or catholic that you can recommend. I looked at the Simon Fraser ranking but it's not very clear. If you have anything else to add, I would appreciate. 1 Like |

Hi y'all. Please I need to renew my Nigerian passport. I know I'll have to fill the app online and then go to Ottawa but does anyone know the turn around time? Would I get it the same day or would they send it to me? Would I need an agent to expedite the process? Cc: @blackbuddy, maternal et al |

vcole: You should get it the same day IF you do EVERYTHING correctly. I saw people come from Alberta and their passport was rejected because they didn't follow proper instructions. I got mine the same day. Also I wouldn't trust the Nigerian gov to mail such an important document. Try come in the morning. The earlier the better. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 2:47am On Dec 09, 2017 |
maternal:Thanks. Any pointers as to the common "incorrect things" that may cause a rejection? Will plan to spend 2-3 days though as I'll be coming from Calgary. |

Chaii. So yesterday I went to the Fido office at Sheridan Center to get a voucher for the Prepaid SIM I bought earlier. Base plan = $15.75 Data Addon = $20 Sim Card = $10 Tax = $5 or thereabout. After I called IRCC for 16 minutes, I was cut-off. Credit exhausted. I don't think I can even receive calls. Strange enough, it seems you need credit to even receive calls. ![]() This Canada hustle no be joke o 3 Likes 1 Share |

DatechMan:Solution is to get an unlimited nationwide call and text plan. Plans with mins count both incoming and outgoing calls. When we just landed I went on a BYOP and only virginmobile sim could work with my phone. I got the 500mins monthly plan and for the 3 months I was with them my bill always exceeded the plan.
