CanadianEnginee: The amount is not less o. For a family of 4 I think CIC says you should have 22,603CAD which is N6,554,870. With his own monthly expenses of 2500 in 6 months that will be N4,350,000 which is less than the amount CIC mandates 12 Likes |

yettyopy:does the child care subsidy pay all of your child care fees where you live? It doesn't on my end. It pays a portion and what you get approved for is dependent on your income. There is also no waiting list here. |

sleekchic: Perhaps your friend smelled ? I use to do this to people a lot when I used public transport. When you start getting passed on for jobs or promotions while in the job, you'll wish a white person not sitting beside you would be the most racism you'll experience here. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

vcole:Pls I don't understand how this works. I have read on cic website but still don't get. How will it be calculated for newly landed immigrants ie what do do need to use in applying ? Must one get a job before such subsidy can be applied for? What if the child is in grade one will such subsidy still b paid? Will such subsidy be given cash or how? Pls no mind my plenty questions, I am just in the planning phase. Thanks |

salford1: Gbam...word!!! Our tribalism in naija has no "part 2" in any other country of the world ooo. True word that if you can whether the hydra headed tribalistic bias of a country like Nigeria, any racist card shown you in a developed country is child play. Hahaaa, may God save Nigeria and the upcoming young generation (we re worse of the lot), The advent of the internet now made things totally messy! #ThingsFallApart 12 Likes |

sleekchic: Over here there is a notion of subtle racism. The Federal and provincial gouvernements had published materials online explaining what racism or discrimination is and what you can do if you believe you have been a victim of racism or discrimination. If you believe you have been mistreated on account of your race, religion, gender, disability, marital status at your job or at a bank or any company providing services to the public, you can lodge a complain either with the Canadian human rights commission or your provincial human rights commission. In most cases you have a time frame of 1 year to lodge your complaint from the time of the incident. The human rights commission will investigate the matter. If your case has merit, the commission will transfer the case to the tribunal for trial. Not every instances of unfair treatment will be perceived as racist by the human right tribunal. On the other hand, a simingly innoncent incident may be ruled as racist by the commission and the tribunal. That is the reason why racist jokes are strictly prohibated by employers. Adding to that, the Canadian human rights commission take also into account cases of mistreatment between members of the same race. If you believe a nigerian who is your boss or who represent a company that provides services to the public had mistreated you because of your tribe, you can lodge your complaint with the commission. That is why a black person calling another black the n word will be ruled as racism before the human rights commission and tribunal The misconceptions is that because a manager or president of a company is black, a claim of racism against that company by a black person wont stand before the human rights commission or tribunal. Conversely, the commission doesnt accept the "I am not a racist because I have black friends" argument that can be used by a white person. Anyway, there are also cases where people of color have been accused of racism by white people before the commission. So, the Canadian human rights commission protect everyone 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Deebay:The closest analogy I can think off would be if Rivers and Lagos were both cities in the same state. Lagos = Calgary Rivers = Edmonton Both have similar population though. 8 Likes |

salford1: Thank you, but how about if you were to compare them with different parts of Lagos. Which of them would be Lagos Island and which would be mainland. Or like Marina and Surulere for instance |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Canadianfly: 9:17pm On Dec 24, 2017 |
salford1: Lol. Calgary cannot be Lagos. Haba. Toronto = Lagos. Calgary is more like Port Harcourt, Edmonton is Owerri. ![]() But a better comparison would be Calgary is Calabar, Edmonton is Uyo. If Calabar and Uyo were in same State. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Canadianfly:I chose the analogy with jobs and economy in mind...lol Alberta's economy is highly dependent on oil. Calgary: Head offices of Oil companies. (similar to lag). Edmonton: Operations (Oil companies and servicing firms) and government jobs. I have never been to akwa ibom though..lol your analogy might be best. 5 Likes 1 Share |

vcole: @vcole, I live in Toronto so yes there is always a wait list for both subsidy and also at the daycares. I guess it differs with each province . |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by XX01(f): 1:57am On Dec 25, 2017 |
yettyopy: How do you get on the wait list? Do you just apply to the nearest daycare or any one at all? |

Thank you for this info. As someone who has both accounting experience with ACCA and statistics this is very useful. And considering that accounting is a regulated field yet big data analytics isn't, I think my best bet at getting a job fairly quickly that side would be to go the statistics route. And I suspect the data jobs pay higher than the accounting ones. is that masters a must or you can do without it czaratwork: 1 Like |

solomonsny: IT is all about skills. If you can show them you have the skills they need, they will take you. Bit then i have always heard that there is a ceiling over your head if you don't have their masters. Dont know how true that is. I posted a link on ACCA 3day virtual conference here. One of the topics covered there is Analytics. You can listen to it and take it up from there. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 8:35pm On Dec 25, 2017 |
Thank you for the reply. From the little research ive done, most of the analytics jobs are in Ontario which according to our elders has the highest cost of living and is not the best place to start from for new immigrants. How would you go about that such a situation? In other news, was reading somewhere and saw this.... The summer of 2020 will see the unemployment rate in Canada drop to nearly zero percent as young workers entering the workforce fail to keep up with the elderly workers retiring by the thousands. Ontario, for example, will see 190,000 job positions go unfilled. Canada will have as many as 1.8 million jobs without the right quality of people to apply for them by 2030 If it's true then this Express Entry thing is just gonna gather more steam. Hope next year doesn't leave me behind. . czaratwork: 1 Like |
