WoodcrestMayor: I used to work in the Nigerian banking industry. I was an operation staff. Basically, i worked in the branch. I was offered a customer service representative role in TD. I hope this answers your questions. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Hi AZeD1. We actually got the COPR in Sept and purchased flight tickets in Nov. The job opportunity didnt crystalize till Feb. We had initially planned to land in Toronto seeing as that is where most of the Finance opportunities are. Thank God for that post o...'twould have been a different story. AZeD1: |

caon: My resume was not designed to suit a particular role. It was combination of sales experience ( that i got after leaving the banking industry) and the customer service experience ( some that i got in the bank and other roles). I think what worked was the relationship I was able to build while running trough my pre-arrival service program with Acces Employment connection program. So, I will suggest we key-in into the pre-arrival programs. This will make our journey easier. 13 Likes 7 Shares |

Hello house, Congrats to all all who have landed and also to all who hope to land in advance. please I have a peculiar situation I want to share for your opinion. My family and I did a short landing in February and we have our PR cards already. My wife's passport is in her maiden name when we planned to change was during the peak of booklet scarcity, we then decided to go ahead with our application using the passport with her maiden name since time was of the essence then. Now we plan to have her change her passport to her marital name since the present passport is about to expire but I'm guessing it might be an issue especially with our people at muritala as her PR card still has her maiden name. I want to know if anyone knows if it is possible to change name on passport and the request for a travel document back to Canada in the new name and then apply for a new card with the new name in Canada. Or to just wait till one gets back to Canada and the request for a change of name on the passport with the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa. Finally if one goes with option 2 who know the average processing time for passport application at the Nigerian high commission in Ottawa as this present passport is about to expire. Thank you. |

jholarharde: Hi. I'll try to respond. I stay in Oakville and Burlington is just after Oakville. I've been there a couple of times and it's cool and cheaper than Oakville. I went to Waterloo last week for an interview. It's about 2 hours by bus from Oakville. Waterloois in Kitchener area and southwest Ontario. It's much more compact than Burlington and kinda smaller. It's a university town with 2 large universities and a huge chunk of student population. I prefer Burlington because it's close to downtown Toronto where everything is happening. I hope this helps. Waterloo will be cheaper than Burlington sha 9 Likes 7 Shares |

lilyandie: Welcome to Toronto. Sunday's weather was really bad. We were indoors almost all day. We had ice storm in Ontario. But all that is behind us. We should start experiencing double digit weather soon. You came at a good time. 5 Likes |

Many thanks dear. I will request for the form. Maybe I will also mention the past taxes I paid since 2015 to see if there is a way to claim it back. rainazoe: |

You wanna hear something funny, a guy of mine landed on Saturday morning and baba was telling me that he was going to take a walk in the evening, I laughed at him and cautioned him bout doing such. When I asked him later in the day if he was ready to take that walk, he just gave me that legbe-legbe look � 4 Likes |

FSOFF: I'd strongly advice you go for the 2nd option by leaving things the way they are till you return to Canada,if the passport will still be valid when you will return to Canada,for obvious reasons If the passport would have expired before you return,you can either renew it in Ottawa or in Nigeria without changing the name. You can then do a change of name on both the passport and the PR card when you get back to Canada. If the name on the passport does not match the name on the PR card, those customs guys will use you to practice what they have been trained to do Good luck 6 Likes 1 Share |

@ALL, please permit me to vent a bit.... I received an email - an IRCC newsletter today - and was surprised that our people - "Nigerians" - were singled out for mention in the news on the issue of new waves of refugees / asylum seekers coming to Canada through the US border...this really saddens me I must say...so wealthy a country Nigeria is but she seems unable to get her acts together...although some may argue that Nigerians just love 'short-cuts' reasoning that many of these people skilled or qualified enough to legally obtain valid US visit-visas from Nigeria with the hidden intent of eventually crossing over to Canada as asylum seekers could very well have successfully gone through the more rigorous process of provincial or federal (Express entry) PR application well...maybe right line of thought or not, the indisputable fact in all this I think, is that the country Nigeria, seems to be one in which the overwhelming 'push' factors contribute significantly to the human capital flight or brain-drain as some call it...so sad https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2018/04/members-of-the-ad-hoc-intergovernmental-task-force-on-irregular-migration-meet-to-discuss-latest-influx.html 4 Likes |

brainwave: They wouldn't be qualified to come as a PR. It's easier to get a U.S. visiting visa than a PR here. Close to 500 illegal Nigerian immigrants crossed the border on Easter weekend. That's close to 500 Nigerians claiming refugee in 2 days. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
