Hello @Blackbuddy, I am reaching out to you based on one of your old posts here where you spoke about understudying the canadian job market and how you have a career in AML. I would like to chat with you about the job market in this field and your experience. I just concluded a masters degree in law in Canada and I am considering transiting to a career in AML with plans of writing the ACAMS certification. I sent you an email earlier. Hope to hear from you. Thank you |

superdoll: Hi superdoll, I'm no expert but I believe you can. Mostly they understand the need for family when having a baby. You will need to attach supporting documents -death certs (sorry for your loss btw) proof of relationship between you and your sister, proof of your pregnancy, financial capability either from you or your sis etc. The first time my mom visited Canada she was invited by my sister's (she doesnt live in Canada) friend (no relation at all) and she got it although she applied from the US. On the flip side, a friend (PR) in Canada invited both her mom and single working sister to help out with her baby as she was pregnant but only the mom was given. To summarise, in my opinion go for it but arm yourself with every possible relevant document to support your case. All the best! 1 Like 1 Share |

@freeradical congrats bro! It's a good thing you made the decision you thought best in the beginning. I'm new here(Nairaland) and would like to seek candid advice from the elders of this thread and those who have experienced what I am going through or have the knowledge of it. I moved to Canada with my family 6 months ago and landed softly, thanks to family members here. Landing and settling down here was easy and stress free. We currently receive child support, tax refund on climate and consumable goods tax and also, our kids have health insurance (100%) card from the government. This has made life so much easy. Rent here is reasonably affordable, feeding is relatively affordable as well. I have been busy lately with vocational work just for the income which is not steady. My experience from Nigeria is supply chain management (I specialised in procurement and logistics) within the oil and gas industry. I noticed SCM is a growing career here in Alberta, Calgary to be precise. But I keep applying for vacancies and I am yet to get any tangible response. Though I have done a little research but I need an experienced guide to be on the right track. Seriously, right now I am confused. MAIN QUESTION Please anyone with honest opinion, experience or knowledge about supply chain management and how I can go about it should reply me. Are there job fairs in calgary(or Alberta at large) that could give me a better exposure? Also, what courses, training or certifications do I need to take to have an edge? Please this is a SOS and really need help fast. Thank you so much. I await responses from all you kind people of this platform. @ssemire @oohunty @Blackbuddy @zandora @olajide @justwise @maternal please help or can tag anyone that can be of help? God bless you all. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi all. I'm curreny awaiting COPR. Please does anyone have any idea what the prospect is for a Credit Analyst. I'm looking at Ontario but so far the jobs I've seen require one to be bi-lingual. I only have A2 DELF certificate in French which is quite basic. I also don't mind if you have any information on other province. I'm looking at landing in April. |

@ Blackbuddy Hi Blackbuddy! I'm recently considering settling in the GTA specifically Mississauga (I think) but the cost of renting a 3bed house/apartment with a basement/a fenced yard is really high. What is the average price for such please? Also which areas are family friendly with good elementary schools? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Rebarobyn: 10:43am On Jan 16, 2018 |
DatechMan: Association of recently landed tourists....una wehdone o ..eku enjoyment...chairman association/tour guide ballerz pls put me on waiting list ![]() On a different note you guys should pls share job search experiences in the GTA..I was planning on landing in GTA but the cost of living especially rent is scary....I hear that 80% of migrants land in GTA so the number of newly landed job seekers out-numbers the "plenty job opportunities". I also hear the growing asian community have mastered the art of networking and have driven wage levels to the barest minimum because they use lower wages as a bait for employers...so someone in alberta or sask on the same job will probably earn more than you do even though they have a lower minimum wage. Landed seniors please share your Toronto experiences. Thank you 9 Likes 1 Share |

Amititi: Hello@Amititi, Yeah.. ![]() Have you registered with the SCMA body as an international professional? I have been told that most logistics jobs are easy to get for people in SCM, however, these jobs are mainly warehouse roles for starters, then once you get in, and showcase your expertise, you are assured of upward progression. Also, have you reached out to the new comer service for briding programs and network opportunities? I have talked with ACCESS in Ontario on this but I am not sure of Alberta yet. But an SCM colleague in Winnipeg assured me that if one decides to do the school route, a program in commerce is a solid starting point. SAIT has a diploma in Bus Admin that meets this criteria. Check the ALIS site for more information on logistics prospects and relevant education programs. Hope this helps. ![]() 6 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Blessedluvdfavd: 3:02pm On Jan 16, 2018 |
TheCongo2: Hi TheCongo2! Anything above $2000 is high I think. I've read the cost of houses is not too different from Calgary and in Calgary I can get those specs for less than $2k. |
