rainazoe:Why is he scared of that. As long as he is not abusive he has nothing to fear. The law court is fair in Canada. |

damidamsel: I travelled with 16k combo of Pounds nd Cad. Indicated it on my landing form, Immigration officer asked why I had such and I explained that I wasn’t comfortable wiring the money cos it might take some days and I just didn’t wanna get stranded. “ He spoke in low voices so as nt to draw attention”. I filled a 2nd form in case the bank asked question when I wanna deposit it. |

Daisystar: How I wish you are a guy. Keep looking. But I usually see more female rentals on kijiji.ca. I have even seen a landlord offering free rental to females. Check out the postings and try to text or call the posters. It will end in praise. Where in Mississauga are you? |

rainazoe: Fear is an illusion. The fact immigration is on your mind tells me that things aren't going well with your current situation. If so you wouldn't be on this thread. Your husband needs to lead his family and do what he needs to do, and stop making decisions based on emotions. Or in this case an illusion. 4 Likes |

He may not be making his decisions based on emotions. There are peculiarities to each marriage and each person's situation as regards immigration. He is leading his family in the way he knows best. I believe we should try not to make Madam to start vexing for oga silently (I guess she may be frustrated already) so we do not pour oil into an open fire, whether they stay here or leave, let the home be happy abeg. My people have a saying 'bi ode o dun, bi igbe ni igboro n ri'....if your yard is bitter, the whole world at large will look like a forest. If she forces this immigration thing down his throat, he may end up going with her and make her miserable. @ Rainazoe :Like someone earlier suggested, appeal to his fears with logical rationale, if he does not agree, do short landing and keep your options open. Who knows, he might travel and love the place. P.S shortlanding should be in summer o, if you take person wey no wan relocate before go see cold, he go run back home asap and confirm say naija na the place to be. All will be well. maternal: 28 Likes |

I'd show him this but we are doing okay by Nigerian living standards. I just want a different environment and a good learning environment for the kids. Thanks Maternal maternal: 4 Likes |

Thank you so much. This advice is so on apt. I have chilled from yapping about Canada o and don't even brood about it so it doesn't come between us. We will definitely make the short landing and I hope he falls in love with Canada. happytbaby: 2 Likes |

rainazoe: Nigerians equate money to everything. So your kids future or lack of it is your issue. That makes sense, and I suspected that. Me personally my kids future is not up for negotiation. My loyalty would lie with them before anyone else. But that's me. 5 Likes |

happytbaby: The home is clearly not happy if she has to come here to ask for advice. Canada is a proven product where a person's achievement is based on merits. Most of the times any way. Nigeria is a unproven product. Currently a failed state. If she has concerns about her kids future or lack of it in Nigeria, she needs to pick up and migrate if she can legally. Instead of walking around stroking her alpha males husband's ego who deep down is consumed by fear. If it's time to go to war and my captain starts showing fear and is not ready to die for the cause, do you think I'd follow his lead ? Any man who puts his fear ahead of doing what's best for the kids will not be leading my household. I just couldn't take him seriously. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

rainazoe: Don't mind Maternal... ![]() ![]() Some things can't just be disclosed in a public forum lest one is mistakened for a brag. Hmmm, thank God for the journey thus far in Naija (I cant complain ![]() No doubt he is on point regarding giving the kids a better learning and growing environment (if the assumption behind his posts points in that direction) but to make a blanket assumption that people are generally not "doing well" at home, reason why they are on the thread, will be stretching the ignorance too far (come on, this is Nigeria o, not India! you no know the weight of my naija people na im dey make you yarn like that ![]() ![]() ![]() But like someone said, priorities for immigrating are so diverse and different for many people, you will be pleasantly shocked, seeking for better financial opportunities in the short term is the least of the reasons for embarking on the immi-journey in the first instance for many! It will definitely end in praise IJN! 7 Likes |

Good day guys, I will be landing in Toronto by August 2018 ending. Please I need a room in Toronto. As a student, I don't want to rent my own house because of cost. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Kayla10: 12:23pm On Jan 25, 2018 |
Rebarobyn: Abeg, rude is rude! No need trying to explain it away. One can easily say what they need to say without being outrightly condescending. It is utterly unnecessary for anyone to belittle others in their bid to give subjective counsel. But anyway like I said in my initial post, she is very nice! 5 Likes |
