How can one get cheap airline ticket to Canada from Nigeria. The ones I'm seeing here is damn expensive. Can one get less than 400k for return ticket? |

Oops! Deregistering in progress ![]() justwise: (Note: I have been in Windsor for just a month.) Windsor,ON is a border town to Detroit, MI (USA), and used to be a booming automotive town (car industry) before the financial meltdown. For now, the health sector is the only SURE thing (as it is almost everywhere). There are a lot of small businesses but nothing major like you might find in Toronto and Alberta.

@maternal I sent you a PM since last week!? Please, I have a cousin that wanted to travel to Canada by all means. He is an expert in Fashion Designing/Clothing Manufacturing[b](Tailoring)[/b] especially the African-American menswear. Does he stand a chance of getting Visa to either, Alberta,Ontario or Quebec... ?? I told him to try express entry but he said he has tried that couple of times,but no reply probably because he got less than A Million in his Account... he's self employ and intending to work in Canada. |

@free radical, congratulations! I was celebrating your testimony here, just worshiping and praising GOD on your behalf. What I love most about your story is that the myth of canadian experience has been demystified and just as @blackbuddy has always preached, don't be moved by tales you read on line or hear from people, your past naija work experience is still greatly considered in Canada as a skilled worker... once again congratulations! 14 Likes |

freeradical: Bros no vex. This is a reply to everyone not just you. I think we're saying the same thing. Work hard, put yourself in a good situation to succeed,then pray/have faith in God. The problem is when people focus on God and constantly forget to also add in their testimony what they did to put themselves in a good position to succeed; all people focus on is the God portion. You understand ? Migrating to a new country can be scary and confusing. I want people to be realistic and as prepared as possible. I'd hate for someone to come here and scream "Na God" while wondering why they aren't successful, which could be due to their ignorance. Remember you were roaming around naija for 20 months screaming Na God with still no job. At some point you realized you had to leave this country to better my situation. You migrating here along with God is why you're successful today. Can you imagine if you continued roaming the streets of naija screaming "Na God" without taking any action ? Do you see how foolish/comical that would have been ? What confuses me are the "Na God" people who are here asking questions how to migrate here. Then when I say once you get here you'll have to do more than just scream "Na God" then I get bashed. If their faith is so string why not stay in naija and let God butter their bread there ? Isn't attempting to migrate acknowledging at this point it's more than God ? If their faith is so strong why is the Canadian skilled program, how to migrate to Australia, etc threads all over 100 pages ? Believe in God but do your part. 30 Likes 1 Share |

mamacajah: This is the problem with the "Na God" narrative. People will start thinking or believing such ignorance and will scream God. Radical said and I quote: Brewing is not regulated in canada so I got lucky there. My wife however studied Agric Economics and that field is regulated. So we have started the process for her to get the Agrologist-in-training designation here in Alberta. We just sent her transcript and other documents to IQAS for a specialized assessment and will take it from there when we get the report. Canadian experience is a highly misunderstood concept. Our work experiences from Nigeria where relevant are highly valid. Brewing is a universal science so there is nothing special between what canada brewers do compared to how we brew in Nigeria. His job/industry is not regulated. If it's a highly regulated industry, which Canada has a lot, you'll have to take some type of bridging program for sure. If you think you can be a doctor in naija, then come to Canada and start practicing right away with your "naija work experience" you'll be in for a surprised. You literally just read testimony, God, and went crazy. You conveniently missed where he said the industry he's in is not regulated. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Pharaoh001: Honestly I'm not in a position to answer this. I doubt Canada needs fashion designing. Isn't fashion subjective any way ? |

Omalitchar: honey86: $15 and $17 is nothing to write home about. As a matter of fact, the new minimum wage in Ontario is $14. And by January 2019, it will turn to $15. In other words, even flipping buggers at McDonald's can pay you this much. On a side note, for anyone who is Bilingual (English and French), please be advised that their is a high demand for bilingual teachers in the education sector (Kindergarten, Junior High and High school). With a college degree from anywhere in the world and in any field, you would need to go through a certification for few months. And once certified, you can start a teaching position with a salary of $60.000 that would go up to $80000 or 90000 after few years. Without a college degree, there is room at the Kindergarten level. A person would need to take a 2 years program to qualify for teaching position at kindergarten. There is also a high demand for people to work in the after school program that do not require any qualification at all. 20 Likes 8 Shares |

maternal: @maternal, I think you misunderstood my post. I have been following his story and also read the quoted post before. My point was, a lot of people still have fears on getting jobs in canada without the Canadian experience. A lot of posts online in Quora and co., of recent , seem to pass that message across more and I have had to encourage people recently whose friends had relocated but are complaining of no jobs due to this same Canadian experience. I have tried to educate them on the need to prepare, research properly and ensure they use the new comer services provided for each province. Infact, this thread has made me a mini-consultant sef..lol..I always hammer the point of preparation and planning before landing to anyone I discuss the canada relocation project with. However, I didn't state that all you need is the najia work experience, but that inspite of the conception that to get a good job, a critical component is the Canadian work experience, while negleting the past experience that indidvidual had before arriving in Canada. Yes his field is not regulated but he had prepared before landing and this has payed off. Sorry if my post was not fully balanced and if I have sent out a wrong message I apologised. But please, you need to stop this personal crusade on how people decide to attribute their success to God. It's a personal race, and while I do not condone laziness of any sort, I will always ascribe honour to whom it is due in my life. even God himself will not bless the efforts of a lazy man, he believes strongly in preparation and planning. If you can take out a little time and read some of my posts in 2014, you will see that I am not just a person who shouts Na GOD without putting in hard work, preparation, planning and prayer. The person I am today and the road I have worked is a testimony of this. QED... onto other things, why is Alberta doing this to me now? I have been eagerly awaiting Jan 2nd for the EE AINP only for the mto postpone it.. ![]() ![]() 15 Likes |
