@Salford1, freeradical, vcole et al

Kindly help with your thoughts on settling and living in either of these Alberta cities:

Calgary OR Edmonton

Which of these two will you easily choose above the other if your situation is as below:

Accountant/HR job seeking couple
With kids.

In terms of kids' school, decently priced accommodation, decently priced utilities, community safety generally(less community gangstarism), decently priced groceries, general social outlooks of both.

Thank you all in advance!


It will end in praise IJN!

Ppl sit beside me all the time even when i have my bag on the empty seat beside me, they have asked if I could move it so they can sit. However, ppl stand all the time. I choose to stand a lot in transit even when the train is empty or bus. On the flip side, I have opted to stand up when 2 persons who speak the same language are beside me and are in conversation a bit loudly mostly because I feel uncomfortable when that happens.

vcole:

CanadianCherie:
Hello Everyone ...I have a burning question here... Is it true that if one declares during medicals that she is pregnant PPR won’t be issued until after the due date? Even if the due date is more than 6months after AORHas anyone experienced this please or is it just an assumption?

XX01:

It's an assumption. People like Vcole got it before their due date.

optionese:

laborel:
Good day everyone, both landed and about to land and thanks for the reviews so far.
Please I need an advice as I prepare to relocate.

I have Professional Masters degree in Process Engineering, MPE and first degree was in Chemical Engineering. Then, my experience here in Nigeria is in Downstream/Terminal Operations, Maintenance and Projects and am also a PMP. But I intend to go into Process Engineering(Process Engineer) in Canada.

Please,how do I go about this and what do I need to do with respect to getting a job and career switching?
I will appreciate detail response from the seniors in the house.

Please help your brother.


Hello Laborel.
First thing in you have to register with the body in charge of Engineering in your province.For example in Alberta you can register with APEGA or ASET. It takes a while to process your application so you should start as soon as possible. You an start from Nigeria.

You can be what you want to be in Canada but mind you once you land here you cannot use the designation "Engineer" (PEng or EIT) or "Technologist" (CET, TIT or CT) until you are licenced from your province. So for the medium to long term you may want to start pursuing your licensure.

For short term plans, you may want to look at bridging programs for Engineers and/or taking short Engineering courses. Also for work you can consider technical roles that does not require one to be licenced before you can work. Example is Process tecnhician or Process Operator. Such roles can count towards your canadian work experience and understanding of Canadian work culture and expectations. Once you are licenced you can then tailor your resume appropriately and apply for EIT Process Engineer or CET.

So you have to look at the long and short term goals in making your decision.

Hope this helps


Thank you.

On webpages of schools, most professors would mention their areas of interest and contact details. Some would even give a brief summary of the current research they are working on. Prospective doctoral students approach lots of professor to maximize their chances. It is very similar to searching for a job since this positions are competitive. Some would not reply emails, some would not take students from outside the country, some prefer students from their home countries (they won't mention this though), some would gladly accept the student if they like the applicant's previous academic work and grades etc.
Find example below:
