Temidewale: PR card doesn't have to be linked immediately you land. I know some who did not link and got their cards. I linked mine 7 weeks after landing and got my PR card one week after; exactly 8 weeks after landing. 2 Likes 1 Share |

EglintonWest: Have you landed? If you have not, it is better to inform them now that you are married. They will take back your COPR and cancel your immigrant visa, then ask for supporting documents for your spouse and updated POF. What I am not sure of is the penalty for not declaring it when submitting passport after PPR. Nevertheless, as long as you have not landed in Canada, there is hope. The best time to inform CIC is now. 7 Likes |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by DaddyTheFather: 9:24am On Mar 18, 2018 |
this sounds most plausible. rather than use court wedding certificate, you use white wedding docs since those have not been done yet. just means you have to go and throw a party for boys...invite us o... MummyJaygirls: 4 Likes |

themaestro212: Thanks themaestro212 for sharing this wonderful experience with the family here. I have a few questions about the text in bold. 1. Why did you choose TD as your bank and what is entrant package like? Is the entrant package different from this on their website (https://www.tdcanadatrust.com/planning/life-events/new-to-canada/index.jsp)? I plan using RBC (http://www.rbc.com/newcomers/moving-to-canada-resident.html) but your response and rationale for TD may help in making a better decision and avoid t&c that can enslave for life . 2. What was your rationale for Fido? Will 2GB be sufficient for new comers who will be heavily involved in online job research and posting or will a dedicated home wifi internet be advised? 3. Lastly, did you get your April job from naija and how did you go about it? Thanks for your response. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Be careful of the date else you will NEVER be able to bring her in. You would have admitted to something changing at the port of entry then. Seek profession advice from immigration lawyers there brah. EglintonWest: |

Dear All, As to this phone plan thing, I know it seems fido and co are cheap, please for peace of mind, go with the major ones. I got unlimited nationwide call and text and 4 GB from Rogers for 45 CAD. Don't be scared of the major ones. Walk in and say you want a month to month plan and they'll give you something good. I know others who got same with Rogers. 18 Likes 11 Shares |

Merovingian: 1. It’s totally based on what’s important to you. The Big 5 have all their advantages. I chose TD because they have better work hours. They’re open everyday of the week with longer hours than the other big 5. Considering that I still have financial obligations in Nigeria and might need to do dozens of transactions in my first few months here, I chose them. I might choose another Bank later but I’m starting with TD. And yes, the features of the Welcome to Canada package are on that website but there are more details to it that I won’t be able to type out. Oh...and TD offices are almost everywhere. 2. I chose Fido based on what the Sales Executive at the mobile store told me. Rogers was cheaper but he told me if I would be traveling a lot, I may not enjoy good service in some areas. I don’t know how true that is but I wasn’t going to take any chances because my job may require me to travel out of Toronto frequently. 3. Yes, I got it from Nigeria. LinkedIn is your friend I paid for the LinkedIn Premium service. Even though $29.99 is too much for what the service offers, at the point of searching for a job in another country, it’s not a luxury. With your 5 monthly InMails, you can message people who can land you a job, immediately. That’s not without a strong demonstration of your competencies, you convincing them that they need you and you are of much value to their organization. There are 2 ways you can use your InMails. (1) Apply for an advertised job then find and follow up with the recruiter responsible for the posting, giving a brief but strong summary of your application/resume. (2) If you’re looking for a Senior Management position (advertised or not), research on who you may be reporting to in that organization and sell yourself to the person. My philosophy is “the worst you can get is a no.”. Nobody will crucify you for trying. Just shoot your shot. 60 Likes 26 Shares |

themaestro212: That Square One has a bus terminal and you can get Presto from there or your nearest community center. That same Fido store at Square One gave us same package of Fido for CAD45. Where did you get winter coats for $35? Welcome to Canada |

How do you carry the Egusi and Ogbono: is it grounded? is it just peeled? How do you preserve them and over what time range? All landed can contribute please... Thanks. Temidewale: 5 Likes 3 Shares |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by QSola: 10:47pm On Mar 18, 2018 |
mclarry: U can grind both, put in a ziplock and when you land transfer into a tight lid plastic then keep in your fridge. Just that ogbona gives a funny taste after a while. |
