vcole: He has to go to the nearest border to him, be it airport or land border with the U.S. Most people I know just drove to the closest border to the U.S and completed the process. Ekinado, you can also ask him to meet you at the airport the day you land. And y'all can do it together. 1 Like 1 Share |

kemmytino: Fried meat? Mbanu, it's not allowed. Minced meat is not allowed, shredded meat is not allowed, boiled meat is not allowed, roasted meat is not allowed. NO MATTER THE COLOUR, ONCE IT'S MEAT OR MEATY, CAN'T BE TAKEN ACCROSS. 12 Likes |

Hey guys, I am back again reading up but had to skip some pages cause of time. So, we are back in Naija after the short landing. It was alright. I did not see all of Calgary to make an overall judgement. All I saw was white everywhere. The layering up helped a lot and I was not as cold as I thought I will be. We spent minimal time outdoors though. We were able to get the basics done: SIN registration, health card registration, opened bank accounts with TD. Hubby tried the knowledge test for driver's license, failed the first time (because of one point-painful) but passed the second time. For me, I was not ready to fail o. I took vcole's advice - doing all knowledge and driving test when we return in the beautiful summer time ![]() Em, I decided to take my kids for a walk one day, being bundled inside the house for days. So, we layered up 4 layers! As we stepped outside, it was windy. It was -12 that day. I decided, let's go right, up the hill with the wind on our backs. We got to the top of the road, kids were sniffing, with emergency catarrh and I said, okay, let's turn back. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What amazed me the most was days later, when the temperature increase to 6 degrees, we celebrated the warmth. Amazing how the body adjusts! Hmm, I do not want to cause a big debate but, the cost of living when converted to naira is not a small money. I already knew that from all the knowledge I gathered from this thread, I was just not ready to calculate it. It all boils down to, is it worth it in the end? Yes, yes and yes! Next step for me now is to find a good elementary school. Please can you guys advice me on which areas to avoid in Calgary. Someone has mentioned NE. Does this mean the whole NE?? Thank you! 24 Likes 1 Share |

vcole:That is the easy part o, ARTICLING is the hard part cos the opportunities are scarce. So you may have passed all those hard exams and get stranded cos no firm accepts you to do the compulsory articling |

Hi Rainazoe, I'm an ACCA/CPA. rainazoe: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TEECANN: 3:04pm On Jan 31, 2018 |
rainazoe: @rainazoe, No, I am an ACA (ICAN qualified). Though I have my registration approval with CPA Ontario, I want to defer moves with that line of effort for some obvious reasons for now...I have consulted widely and I guess it's the best thing to do for now (especially considering what I want to do, career wise going forward) Cheers man. It will all end in praise IJN! |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 3:17pm On Jan 31, 2018 |
yokus:ah ha! I knew it seemed too smooth. So this articling, can it be any firm? Or specific firms? |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 4:22pm On Jan 31, 2018 |
Bethely:Provinces with a large number of academic institutions (Unis, Polytechnics and colleges) would obviously have more opportunnities. |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 4:39pm On Jan 31, 2018 |
Bethely:The provinces or the instituitions? If provinces, then Ontario, BC and Quebec would definitely have the largest numbers of institutions. It is interesting that the two guys I know that went the academic line both got a temp teaching job in Ontario. One finally got a perm position in the same province while the other got a perm position in BC. |

TEECANN: @TEECANN why are you not pursuing an accounting profession especially since you have obtained the highly elusive CPA designation? Which field is more lucrative for an accountant and what certifications are you pursuing. Please provide more insight. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 4:46pm On Jan 31, 2018 |
I think he means he has successfully registered with CPA as a student member to obtain the CPA designation. vascey: 3 Likes |
