Please has anyone taken part in the Federal Internship Program. How was it like? Is it possible to get a loan for a training or advanced degree like a professional MSc? |

Landed Canada few hours ago with my spouse. Toronto was our port of entry and we flew Ethiopian airlines. It was a very long flight. We departed from Abuja. Most of our bags where 24kg we had one extra 23kg GMG bag dedicated to food stuffs. All our bags went through without wahala. We specifically wrote food stuff on the bag and wrapped it at the airport. No one disturbed us for anything. Toronto was cold -3. It was just 8am. The immigration officers were nice and we didn't take time to clear us. We got our SIN and proceeded to pick our bags. No questions about our funds or food stuffs. 40 Likes |

shinaboy: The Field is large enough...but expereince is key else the competition for fresh graduate is higher...like when u experience its recruiters that even send you emails on linkedin and so on... so taking courses is also nice...keep it up... Just spin up a VM and practice ..if u confident is something u can do..then you claim as experience..else get interviews and see the feedbacks as for search for job the best is do it yourself approach..linkedin, monster.ca those are just two Regards. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

LOL. Guess we have to go direct to you and all other seniors in the house. I Arrived Canada in Less than a week, should I consider filing tax for march or not. There is a huge knowledge gap with Nigerian folks here they seem not to really understand this Tax thing and I heard if I file now there will be some benefits. Everything sounds strange anyways. Please advice... @40manlappy @all seniors vcole: |

daremum:To the best of my knowledge, if you only landed a week ago I do not think you are meant to file taxes. Taxes filed this tax season (Feb 26 - April 30 2018) are for the period of Jan 1 - Dec 31 2017 (the tax year). Since you were not a PR as at Dec 31 2017 and you were not resident in Canada in the year 2017, you do not have to file taxes. As for benefits, newly landed immigrants apply for child benefits, provincial benefits and gst/hst with their landing documents as well as a completed statement of income form rc66sh or something like that. Going forward, you would file taxes during the 2019 tax season for the tax year 2018 (jan 1 - dec 31 2018) and this would be a requirement for continuous assessment of your income status by CRA for whatever benefits you are eligible for as well as accessing other government services and so on. You can find out about what benefits you are eligible for on the canada.ca website. To clarify, you can call or visit free tax clinics....some of which you would find their contact info on the same website. For clarity, you can actually call CRA directly on their helpline. 11 Likes 17 Shares

Ehrnie:You may wanna try turbotax. A couple of people I know have used their online platform to file their taxes themselves. If I remember you did a short landing so you may be under the "factual resident" group. You may wanna check if the country where you work in has a tax treaty with Canada. If they do, then you'll need to submit your tax assessment n certificate from that country to CRA as well. You won't have to be double taxed. Surprisingly Canada has a tax treaty with Nigeria and accept our IRS tax certificates from canadian residents working in Nigeria and do not tax anything extra for foreign income in that instance. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

redocean:I am not sure how to answer this. We have discussed this on this thread before and people have been successful with that. IRCC does not state that it is a violation of any law. However, if a pr card is picked out by a security scanner while being conveyed by post/mail, the courier/postal company is mandated by law to return the card to IRCC since it is actually "govt property" I am not aware of anyone who has had this experience though. 4 Likes |
