For guys with COPR, please when you send your PUM and authorization letter to DHL, how do you know they have picked up your package from AVO. I sent mine last week and they sent an email the same day that my pickup request has been processed. I thought they are meant to send a tracking number because I am yet to yet one from them. Thanks!! |

crazyinlove: I don't think they will give a tracking number. Not too sure. They will soon deliver to you, don't worry. They are pretty efficient in that regards. |

which one is ITA please? I just want to apply. How much points is the threshold to acceptance? And I heard it will require IELTS, so I'll need to write the exams though einsteino: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Muchaio(m): 6:32pm On Jan 02, 2018 |
crazyinlove: Why not reply to the mail and ask for the tracking number? If it has been processed, it should be available. |

XX01: They do if you request for it. Helps you track and plan accordingly for pickup |

Hello Nairaland people, been waiting on the PPR mail for a while and got this in the mail today.... does this mean PPR and did anyone get this before PPR and how long before PPR please...just want to know the next steps to take. See below the mail for CIC Congratulations. You are now a candidate for immigration to Canada. You should think about how you will find a job in your field if you become permanent resident. Starting now will give you and your family members the best chance at finding a job that matches your skills, qualifications and work experience. You can research: • areas where workers in your field are in high demand, and • what is required for your job and similar jobs you might be interested in. In most cases, the things you need to find a job in Canada are different than for immigrating. This means you might need a new assessment of your education, skills, work experience and/or language skills to get a job in your field. Gather your documents before you come to Canada to make the process easier. For example: • degrees • school transcripts • proof of work history • employer references, etc. In Canada, some jobs are regulated to protect public health and safety. To work in a regulated job, you will need a licence or certificate from the regulatory body for your profession in the province or territory you want to live in. You may need to submit certain documents, upgrade your education, and get on-the-job experience before you get a license or certificate to practice. Without a license or certificate, you will not be able to work in a regulated job in Canada. It can take time to get a license in Canada. Consider working in a related job while getting your license. There are many other resources that can help you research how to work in your job in Canada. Check the website for the province or territory you want to live in to find out more. If you are accepted to come to Canada, you can get free services before you come that will help you: • learn about life in Canada • find a job • take steps to get your credentials recognized and • you will also learn about other free services available after you arrive in Canada. There are also free services to help you adjust to life in Canada once you arrive. Sincerely, Integration and Foreign Credential Referral Office Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. |

Hi Ballerz, Can you still help with the FRSC letter? I sent an email to ndlverification@frsc.gov.ng but have no response yet. I'm leaving Nigeria on 25th January and would appreciate help in getting the letter before then. P.S. I sent an email to your public mailbox yesterday Ballerz: |

Good evening house! Please I need your help. I have a changed plan on my trip. I cancelled the hotel reservation I used for my visa and the reason being that my travel plan changed and also got a better offer in another hotel. Now my questions, I hope there won't be any issue at Canada POE concerning these? And also I planned paying my hotel fee over there |

I am beginning to enjoy this thread. All the information being passed on here are really invaluable. I am also considering the Fall '18 admission . My understanding is that MSc. being thesis based and usually funded is more competitive. M.Eng. which is course-based is usually self-funded. I have also found that the M.Eng programme is usually slightly more expensive than the MSc. programme. I have never really given M.Eng a real thought before now, since I was applying as an international student. Now that I am a Canadian PR, I am seeming to favor it. Seniors in the house, please I need your input. I have a 4.02/5.0 from a Federal Uni. I want to weigh my chances before applying. This one that I hear that UBC is bouncing 1st class guys. I was in the telecom industry in Naija for about 4 years. I am looking to go for M Eng. or MSc. in Renewable Energy or related field. I am especially interested in a school with good coop/ internship opportunity. Let's rub mind together abeg. This Canadian hustle shall end in praise. 3 Likes |

Hi brethren (this matter don turn ministry) please I'd like to know if anyone here that landed in Canada in september 2017 has received his/her PR card? In november They sent me an email and letters requesting us to send fresh passport photographs cos they couldn't use the one I sent when I was in naija (same pictures they used to issue COPR! the matter tire me!) And we've sent those. I heard from 2 other guys, one of them an Indian who has been here for a while, that they had d same experience. Have been waiting for the PR cards in the mail since but no news. Just curious to know if any one here that landed around the same time has received theirs |

Good evening House, Please I need recommendations for cheap auto insurance. I got my g2 in oct 2017 and the insurance rate I am getting from brokers is quite expensive. Any suggestions?? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Delta007(m): 4:06am On Jan 03, 2018 |
yettyopy:What are you getting? What is reasonable to you? Your insurance quote depends on a number of factors including your driving experience, vehicle model and city/province. If you are a costco member, you can explore the insurance company on the costco website. 3 Likes |

wildchild02: Can someone help with this question please? In my opinion, you have to do your research, find out which jobs are being advertised and where you can fit in. But it will also help to get some guidance from current IT professionals in Canada. I was going to ask the same question. It has been discussed in the beginning but that was in the first 30 pages or so and there were no specifics. 1 Like |

pauloverdi:Your PR Card is probably delayed because you sent the same picture they already have. Take the specification to a passport shop and take a new one. If you are still in Nigeria and want to travel to Canada, you can find out if they still grant emergency travel certificate. 1 Like 3 Shares |

DatechMan: M.Eng and M.Sc could mean the same thing and different things, depending on the school. so its best you use "course-based/non-thesis" and "thesis/research" masters degree to help us know exactly what you are talking about. To the matter at hand, there are no hard rules to these things, I know of a number of first class that was bounced by low rated schools like MUN, and ended up getting admitted by a higher rated school like U of A. all you need to be eligible for admission is a 2:1, but as we already discussed, even a first class wouldnt guarantee you an admission... and this is applicable to not just UBC alone. a number of factors determine your chances.. for some schools, the main hurdle is your ability to get a professor willing to be your supervisor in your thesis based program.. some would even say if they have no funding for you, you wouldnt be admitted as they dont allow one to self sponsor in their thesis masters program. then of course other things like Statement of intent, strong academic references and having publications in renonwed journals(few naija students have this). so a school may pick a 2:1 student over a first class student as a result of the above. I no more have the flare for a thesis based program, and even then, non-thesis masters typically doesnt have the aforementioned hurdles/prerequisite. often times, a CV, and professional reference is all that you would need for non thesis. cutting out the tedious work of mailing and calling professors you have never met, in a bid to show them why you would be a plus to their research team, so as to get them to agree to be your supervisor. you have to decide what your interest is, research or professional work? co-op is usually found in course-based/non-thesis program. I wouldnt advise you apply to a school solely because you think it would be easier to land their admission... instead apply to multiple schools, perhaps your choice school and a backup school. 4 Likes |
