nadina:
You could reach out to Bowen. I got my first job through them. Randstad, Executrade, TPD. There are lots of them. You could also attend the free resume and cover letter workshop organised by Alberta Works. They are quite brief and concise and might help in drafting your resume. I hope this helps. I wish you all the best!

quote author=Supagal post=66217904]Congrats @Nadina. Your story does inspire.
Dear seniors thanks for all insightful posts. It has guided me all the way.
Landed in Calgary about 2 weeks ago. Please Nadina, and other seniors that understand the Calgary system, can you please tell us the name of the recruitment agency you used to get your 1st job.
Went to centre for newcomers and the counsellor was more interested in selling his book to me.

Are there some other ones you will recommend for the Calgary area, particularly for finance professionals. Roberthalf, Kelly services?
Thanks.

Please where can we get free resume review service close to Brampton.

@geebaby10, the issue here is for your baby to be born in Canada so as to avoid any issues with documentation post delivery. Inmigration laws are fluid and change year in, year out. You can read up on family sponsorship on IRCC's website to see if you would qualify to sponsor your baby post delivery....because I may be wrong but to the best of my knowledge, the sponsored family member has to be outside Canada during the process while the sponsor is within Canada.

Anyway, even as a tourist, birth in Canada is still way cheaper than thd states. So, if you wanna pay, then Canada is still your best bet.

Hello @Lumezinwa

You need to be a full member of the ACCA to take advantage of the conversion. Your B.Sc cert suffices to support your application.

I'd suggest you also mail CPA either Ontario or British Columbia for clarity.

Iumezinwa1:
Thanks for this detailed analysis .

Please i have a few questiions:

1. Will you be able to do the conversion if you have not completed your PER (that is just an ACCA affiliate)

2. Can i use my masters degree transcript along with ACCA certification for the conversion

maternal:


They're not always EDE. They've been cases on the news. Also we both know they can look for other avenues to reject the applicant if they want. Furthermore, PR's could enter only if they meet residency requirements. They can also be subjected to deportation due to criminality. Don't not compare a PR's right to a citizens. I'll repeat, only a Canadian citizens has the right to enter Canada and can never be denied or deported.

Remember one is not a PR because they got the visa. The customs officer can still deny it at anytime. Only once their passport has been stamped and paperwork processed are they a PR. My point is if she comes at the border with a U.S. born baby and her story sounds fishy, they can deny her and her baby entry.

This is so correct.

Fortissimo502:


It's in Canadian law. PR grants you right of entry. You can be deported yes. Your pr can be revoked yes. But if you are a PR at Canada's gates, you are guaranteed entry. Simple. It's the law.

People that haven't met residency requirements are still let in. Then cbsa proceeds with the process of revoking the PR. which involves attending a hearing etc.

It's possible for the us citizen baby to be denied entry but extremely low chance.

This statement in bold is so wrong. Your PR is a privilege and not a right. As a PR, you can be denied re-entry into Canada for reasons that are obvious and not so obvious. True, that if you have not violated any of the PR conditions (e.g. no criminal records, not avoiding taxes etc.) the chances of being denied re-entry as a PR is almost zero but there is still that chance. The decision to grant you entry into Canada as a PR lies solely with the border officer. Please provide the section of the law that grants a PR the right to re-enter Canada (please don’t confuse privilege with right).

It is only Canadian citizens that have the rights to re-enter Canada and can never be denied entry for any reason.

Sorry dear, i have no idea. I live in Calgary, Alberta.

You need to attain full membership status in ACCA first for the conversion. While ur MSc will suffice for IRCC, you will need BSc transcript for CPA.

The CPA conversion takes time so I'd advise you start processing even while awaiting PPR if possible.

That's false. This is my line of work. How can you be granted rights to enter, but at the same time can be subjected to deportation or your PR card be revoked ? Can a Canadian citizen be deported or have their citizenship revoked ? See the difference ? My friend it's not the law to grant a PR entry once he or she shows up at the Canadian border. So if you commit murder outside of Canada as a PR and try to enter canada, do you honestly think you'll get in ? You would never step foot inside Canada again. You can appeal all you want. People who haven't met residency are let in for their appeal. If it's a loss they're automatically subjected to deportation. Remember they may not give you a work permit or healthcare. Nothing is guaranteed.

You've also went from your baby can come in as a U.S. citizen to there's a extremely low chance they can be denied entry. Which one is it ? But that has been my point all along. Stop saying non citizens have certain rights which is false. Instead tell them certain things could or may happen. Only a citizen can do things or has full fledge rights. Everyone else can be deported or denied certain things. That's all I'm saying.

I know that you can do a land crossing at Niagara. Walk across the bridge to US side, ask that they reject you and then walk back to the Canadian side. Heard some people discussing the option. People do it all the time.

Have you read section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Commonly known as the Canadian Charter or the Constitution Act, 1982?

You too, what's RPRF?

Nothing is absolute. The Canadian govt can change their laws tomorrow and revoke whatever status even naturalized citizens have there. Everything and anything be stretched and blown up unreasonably.

Fortissimo502:


Have you read section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Commonly known as the Canadian Charter or the Constitution Act, 1982?

Section 6 is freedom of mobility. That is a citizen or PR (unless you're a provincial sponsor) has the right to live and work in any province. The right to enter Canada at any time only applies to Canadian citizens. Its really not hard to understand. The immigration and refugee act applies more to foreign nationals (FN). And everyone who isn't a citizen is a FN, even PR. Read below and tell me what it is. My friend, like I said, this is my line of work. Stop it.

Fortissimo502:

Wrong. The Canadian government can revoke anything except for Canadian citizens. In reality everyone is an immigrant period. The last admin tried that. Harper was voted out and the supreme court would have ruled against his administration any way. This argument has no weight.

Fortissimo502:


What's the full meaning of RPRF? Also please try read section 6 of the Canadian charter.

What has RPRF (Right of Permanent Residence Fee) or ROLF (Right of Landing Fee) as it used to be called got to do with this discussion?

As for section 6 of the Canadian charter, the texts are very clear. Section 6.1. which talks about right to enter Canada specifically mentioned only “Canadian Citizen”, hence not applicable to PR holders. While sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 that are applicable to PR holders clearly say so.

Here are the texts of section 6 of the Canadian charter:

http://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/charter-charte/check/art6.html

6. (1) Every citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada.

(2) Every citizen of Canada and every person who has the status of a permanent resident of Canada has the right:
a. to move to an take up residence in any province; and
b. to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province.

(3) The rights specified in subsection (2) are subject to:
a. any laws or practices of general application in force in a province other than those that discriminate among persons primarily on the basis of province of present or previous residence; and
b. any laws providing for reasonable residency requirements as a qualification for the receipt of publicly provided social services.

(4) Subsections (2) and (3) do not preclude any law, program or activity that has as its object the amelioration in a province of conditions of individuals in that province who are socially or economically disadvantaged if the rate of employment in that province is below the rate of employment in Canada.

In addition to this, section 34 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act also talks about inadmissibility to Canada of a permanent resident. See the full texts here:http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/section-34.html

Fortissimo502:

As long as you did not obtain your Canadian citizenship based on false information or deceit (this includes the information you provided to obtain your PR status), your Canadian citizenship cannot be revoked.

For argument sake, let us assume the laws were to change in the future, this discussion is not about future laws but about current laws today. The law today is that a Canadian citizen can never be denied re-entry into Canada but a PR holder can be denied re-entry into Canada (but very rare).

vcole:
@ekpekus, that post was circulated before and when I read it, I shook my head because it has so many flaws.
@sweetrie The img pathway is a bit windy in Canada. As far as I know and according to the valid information given by mcc and provinces as regards medical practice, there are 2 pathways open to IMGs.

Pathway 1.
You write and pass mccee and nac osce. Then have a minimum of 7,7,7,7 in academic ielts not more than 2yrs old then you apply for the residency match called carms. Apps open in September and close in Nov or so yearly and I think interviews happen between then and January and the match occurs in March and residency starts in July.
If you have passed mccqe1, it makes you more attractive. If you have a reference from a licensed Canadian physician, it makes you more attractive. The province of Alberta has a separate img match from the Canadian/US grads match. Those img match slots are competitive. However, if you are able to get a recommendation from the aimga (Alberta img association), you stand a very good chance of matching a residency prog. The aimga has different requirements from the carms. They require a pass in mccqe 1 and ielts written not earlier than May of the year preceeding your intended match year.

Pathway 2
Physician practice readiness assessment aka PRA.
For now Manitoba, Sask, BC have PRAs. Newfoundland recently suspended theirs.
Requirements are pass in mccee (for sask and Manitoba you also need a pass in mccqe1 and mccqe2 or nac osce) + 2yrs evidence of family medicine residency or 2yrs of clinical practice with rotations in paeds, obsgyn, surgery, internal med and psychiatry. Your Nigerian clinical practice is very well recognised.
So if you qualify, you get assessed and if you are accepted, you sign a return of service contract for 3yrs (4yrs in Manitoba) and get posted to a rural area to work and after you finish you get your license. You'll however need to pass the family medicine fellowship exams.

Matching a residency prog or getting accepted into a PRA prog are both very competitive.
Also, bear in mind that in Canada, you can pass all of the MCC exams and yet not get into residency or get into a Pra for a while. So, it is always advisable to have other plans for career growth asides waiting to get a spot.

As regards pay, a resident earns about $250k annually and on the average a GP earns $300k annually. Specialist physicians earn more. The ministry of health pays a GP $150/each patient s/he sees. So if you do the math, $300k is pretty easy to come by. This is why they say when you eventually get your license it is worth it, if you're in for the money sha.

fusion23. I found this.

@geebaby10: Coming to Canada to give birth is the best option to avoid stories that touch in future as other landed seniors have stated.

Medical is free in Alberta, no waiting period. I gave birth 43days after landing in Calgary. The officer gave me my healthcare number without the card within 3days to be able to register at the hospital.the healthcare card came after 7days. All the lab tests , scans and delivery were free. No one asked how long I will be staying here.

Fortissimo502:


Child is a US citizen. Visa (ETA sef) not required. Can be stamped in for 6 months as a visitor and extended inland till the PR process is complete. Life ain't that hard when you got the right passport.

Don't know how I missed this but I'm glad I did. I see people have replied you ...

I'm of the opinion you're arguing out of sheer ignorance.
As a mother of US born children, my stand remains the same. She should have her baby in Canada to avoid stories that touch. Being a US passport holder doesn't translate to permanent residency in Canada.

I rest my case.

mamacajah:


@Geebaby10, in addition to this advise, which I concur with, I would suggest you pick Alberta. There is a RCCG church in Calgary , and from what I know in USA, those places are always ready to support fellow nigerians on birth and delivery. I can even give you contacts there. 7-10 days after delivery, fly to your family in US. Even some people who give birth in US, go to deliver in one location and come back to their family base becos of cost options, how much more, in your case. Also, I am not sure how true this is, but I was told if you have an american child, the child can not have canadian citizenship. that is there is canadian-americn dual nationality but no canadian-american nationality...I stand to be corrected...

Hope this helps in your decision making..wow..that child is so blessed... even while in the uterus, strangers are helping out already....it will always be a great life for your child, never lacking help when needed and favour all the days of the child's life.

This is not quite accurate as the newborn will not be able to obtain a passport within 7-10 days; It takes minimum of 7-14 days to get the birth certificate, which will be required for the passport.

In my opinion, it comes down to $$ and convenience. The debate around immigration is valid but not a big deal in my opinion. In terms of costs, Canada is the safer option especially when there is always a chance of complication with every delivery; a CS can run up the tab pretty quickly in the US versus $0 in Canada. So, the suggestion to give birth in Canada seems quite logical. However, I certainly cannot underestimate the support required at childbirth especially in the western world; so it probably makes more sense to land in Canada and take the next flight into the US.

Alternatively, @geebaby10 husband can stay for a couple more weeks after the delivery and all can fly back to Nigeria afterwards.

vcole:
fusion23. I found this.

Thanks so much will forward to the person.

Regards.

@geebaby10.
You have been given a lot of suggestions, pros and cons for every decision you might take about delivery.


Please ask yourself these questions
How far are you into the pregnancy? Is it a straight forward pregnancy without complications? How pregnant will you be 3 days to the expiry of your medicals. Will you get a doctors clearance to fly then? How pregnant will you be when you are done with your supposed "soft landing" Will airlines be willing to take you on board then.
Dear don't lie so much about your gestation age, the little one in there might not cooperate with you

I am so sure some international airlines wont take you when you are way more than 32Weeks pregnant and most wont take above 36 Weeks that gives you 1-2Months to delivery...(if its not a single carrier airline confirm with all carriers about their pregnancy rules)
Please put this into consideration and give room for eventualities 37 Weeks old baby is term,
And for your husband is the 3 weeks landing before delivery or after delivery

Medical is free in Alberta[b], no waiting period[/b]. I gave birth 43days after landing in Calgary. The officer gave me my healthcare number without the card within 3days to be able to register at the hospital.the healthcare card came after 7days. All the lab tests , scans and delivery were free. No one asked how long I will be staying here. [/quote]

Please did you stay back in Alberta afterwards? I'm asking because of this 183 days thing I'm seeing. I always thought you get Alberta health coverage instantly but apparently there's a condition to stay at least 6months in a 12 month period failing which a defaulter if found out, can be asked to reimburse Alberta health! I had my baby in 2016 and stayed just over 4 months then returned to naija and I've been here in naija ever since but plan to return to Canny this year but to Ontario. Your thoughts please and anyone else that has more information on this. Thanks!


@Geebaby10 with my third child,I had an
"uncomplicated" pregnancy as with my first 2 according to my naija clinic, only for me to get to Canny and give birth 2 days after landing prematurely and my baby had health issues that developed in the first term but were not detected in naija to the surprise of the canny doctors. Thank God my baby came out victorious but my baby spent a loooooong time in the hospital and had 3 separate surgical procedures. I kind of understand the whole need for family as I had my other kids in the US with family and also had to decide whether US/Canny but I thank God we chose Canny. But clarify the residency requirements for this Alberta health coverage just to be sure sha. I pray the good Shepherd leads you down the best paths for you in this instance, in Jesus name...Amen!

Again, thank you for all the contributions. I really appreciate them.

For the questions, if we continue with the original Houston plan, I will arrive in Houston at less than 35 weeks and we would be flying Delta to Canada and Houston. Delta has minimal requirements for expectant mothers below 36 weeks. Hubby will be unable to stay with me for longer. The time he has will be before the baby is born if not his medicals will expire.

So far the Alberta option is the best for Canada. Enjoy the free health care, my baby has the Canadian passport and we fly to Houston as soon as we have the passport. The cons are that at some point in the future I may need to repay the costs and I will be very very alone for the birth. To say that is not scary will be a lie. However, my sister (no experience with babies either) already has a PR card (did a soft landing last year) and is willing to spend time with me when my baby is due. I have started applying for my mum's visitor visa (please anyone with tips on how to expedite this please let me know).

If we stick to the less liked option of Houston, at the POE, we tell them that family support is the main reason for birthing in America instead of Canada. Last quarter of 2019, when we move finally we file for family sponsorship for our child. From what I read and our discussions with a lawyer, the need to prove financial ability is waived for dependent children and the child can be in Canada (legally) during the sponsorship. Most of the sad stories, the children usually needed a visitor visa to enter Canada or the baby was born before the family arrived at the port for their first landing and they did not declare the change.

The major con is that immigration laws can change, sponsorship can be long and stressful and there are absolutely no guarantees. This is even more scary and sounds like something to be avoided.

So please if you know any nice people in Calgary I don't mind making new friends. I promise that I am a good person. lol.

Vcole and Blessedlovedfavd please I may need info from you guys on doctors and hospital so I will be sending you messages.

Seeing you guys argue on this right or wrong of a PR. I read this story last week and it should serve as a guide to anyone:

'Lesson learned' says permanent resident who had to walk into Canada
A Canadian permanent resident learned a hard lesson that when travelling between the United States and Canada, there is no room for error.

David Thomas, of Nova Scotia, has a British passport and has been a Canadian permanent resident for 45 years. He and his spouse, Livia Anthes, booked a flight to Las Vegas Feb. 3 to celebrate Thomas's 50th birthday. Anthes is also a permanent resident with a valid card.

The problem was Thomas's permanent residency card expired in December. He applied for new documentation and tried to get an expedited card in time but couldn't. He and Anthes decided to travel anyway.

"David and I of course probably could have been a little bit more stringent to get official information to see if he would be allowed over the border and we certainly take responsibility for that," Anthes told the CBC's Maritime Noon.

"But we thought, 'They'll give you a little bit of leniency.' He's been living here his entire life for 45 years, no criminal record, nothing of that sort."

Had to walk into Canada
Getting to Las Vegas was not a problem. However when the couple tried to return home Feb. 6, Thomas was told there was no way he was getting on the Air Canada cross-border flight.

"They just kind of flat out refused. Said, 'Nope, we can't let you on the plane. The only way you're going to get into Canada is if you drive across or walk across,'" said Thomas.

"I really thought they were kind of pulling my leg at first. I had a bag full of documentation there ready to dump on the table."

He had a copy of his permanent residency application, his expired permanent resident card, two years worth of income tax documents, his driver's licence and his British passport.

"I wasn't anticipating walking into the country," he said.

But that is what Thomas had to do.

Rules are clear, says Air Canada
In an emailed statement, Air Canada said it "cannot accept transport passengers if their cards are not valid, which would be the case of an expired card."

The airline said the directive from the Canada Border Services Agency is very clear.

"We outreached to the CBSA who reconfirmed and provided us clear instructions not to accept travellers with expired permanent resident cards, even with a document indicating that have asked for the renewal of their status, because the person may not have a permanent resident status anymore," said Isabelle Arthur, an Air Canada spokesperson.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada echoed that statement.

The long trip home
The next morning Thomas flew from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, then on to Chicago before finally reaching Buffalo, N.Y., at around 10 p.m.

From the Buffalo airport he was able to take transit to the centre of the city. From there, he caught another bus that took him to the crossing at Niagara Falls.

"There I was dropped off on the bus in what felt like the middle of nowhere at 1:30 or 2 o'clock in the morning," said Thomas.

Then he walked across the bridge into Canada.

"I put my passport there, explained to him [Canadian border agent] a bit of the story and he just kind of waved me through — looked at me a little oddly and let me go through," said Thomas.

After being on the go for well over 24 hours, Thomas then haggled with a cab driver to take him to Toronto Pearson International Airport, 120 kilometres away, for $130.

'Lesson learned, I guess'
He was then finally able to catch a flight back to Nova Scotia.

"Lesson learned, I guess," said Thomas.

Anthes said the couple's experience should serve as a warning to other travellers.

"I think the moral is to do your homework, as much as you can, and don't take for granted what you believe your rights or your abilities are because they're really cracking down on travel regulations and policies now," said Anthes.

Seven days before travel, Thomas could have applied for a permanent resident travel document however Anthes said by the time they realized that was an option, it was too late.

Maritime Noon asked Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada why it's OK to cross the border on foot without a valid permanent residency card but did not receive a response to that question.

From CBC news

Please carry me along am thinking of BC as well. I am a credit analyst in a commercial bank in Nigeria.

tollu:


Bro, still thinking along this line?

EnoIbd:


Hi there,

Please I am interested in this. I tried sending you a private message but got something saying we are not connected and as such you have to email me first. Pardon me I am new on this platform �

This FRSC letter makes me smh at times. What is your right go come be like say you go beg.

Send an email to info@frsc.gov.ng. Let me know if they respond.

I know some people said they stopped responding to the other email but use the info one first and let's see how it goes.


The other thing is to try get someone's contact in their office to help follow up. The letter usually takes about 3 days to complete. No matter who you use, you still need to make it official by sending an email or letter so they have records.

vcole:
reject? How? As in be refused entry into the US? I think inland PR applicants can go to certain service canada offices to do a landing though.

bbaby84:


Reject? How?

It's called flagpoling. You can Google it.

Or you can also apply to your nearest IRCC office by calling IRCC’s Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100 in order to book an appointment. Please note that you must call this number from inside Canada. Appointments can take months to arrange.
