KW01: @KW01, you do not need any FRSC letters to apply for/ take both the knowledge and driving tests in Alberta. You only need your Naija license which will be taken from you for verification to confirm whatever driving years you are claiming (after you must have taken the knowledge test). If you have around 3 years driving experience, you may be eligible to take the full class 5 (advance) driving test upon satisfactory confirmation of your Naija driving experience. Otherwise, you will have to start from the learner (Class 7) then the class 5 (GDL Driver) Albeit, the FRSC letters could be useful when shopping for your auto insurance premium rates. You could get lower quotes if the insurance company accepts driving experience from Naija (Only few insurance Companies do this). I guess I was able to answer you to some extent. 13 Likes 12 Shares |

Yes, you will be paying both ACCA and CPA membership if you want to continue maintaining their status. Don't forget that failure to be in good standing with ACCA will cost you your CPA membership. So all fees and CPD reporting for ACCA must be a CONTINUUM DonroxyII: |

Bsbabe: In some jurisdictions like London where I live, you don't have to show any baptismal certificate to enroll a child in a Catholic school. @ Blessedluvdfavd Please visit this link for more information on Catholic Schools in Ottawa. You can send them any question by using the online contact form. http://ocsb.ca/ 10 Likes 7 Shares |

Hello family I think I really need help now. Since over a year av been nursing the dream of relocating to canada but I have not been successful in my solo thoughts I graduated with 2.2 mechanical engineering from a university here in nigeria. In the past 4yrs av been working in the banking industry. I have checked possible routes on how to legally relocate but to no avail. I checked the canadian skilled migration rout but looks like my work history must align with course of study wch puts me at a disadvantage. Currently am married and expecting a baby. I have saved a lot for this travel thing. But my problem seem to be lack of knowledge on different routs to take. Recently, I was connected to an agent who helped a friend and her family to relocate since 4yrs ago. Agent is in Canada. I spoke with him and was charged up to $10,000 for the option am opting for. Do things like this still work? Please kindly advise me here coz I really want to relocate. Also, all advices should be dropped here. Tnx |

Bsbabe: Hmmmm.... Interresting My kids go to Saint-Jean-De-Brebeuf, a French Catholic school. Are your kids in an English school? It is possible that the French and English Catholic schools arent under the same governing body or school board given that the baptismal certificate isn't required for the French schools. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 9:14pm On Apr 26, 2018 |
TheCongo2: English. And yes, it’s possible that the French immersion requirements are not the same. But I thought all are all under LDCSB? |

Virt:Did your friend verify with CPA if they will accept conversion from ICAN to ACCA?. From cpa website “If you are a fully qualified member in good standing of an international accounting body listed below (obtained a membership through completion of the accounting body’s qualification process and not through a recognition agreement with another accountancy body) and obtained your designation while not a resident of Canada, you may have rights to certification in Canada through a legacy Reciprocal Membership Agreement (RMA). You may also have the right to practice public accounting through a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)“. |

Thanks Bsbabe and TheCongo2 for chipping in! I've actually pored over ottawa's catholic school board website countless times and they clearly stated non catholics can attend but only after all the Catholic applicants have been considered. Thanks again! |

WoodcrestMayor:So on the BA job I can refer you, but then to be Honest the expectations in Fujistu is very high. Not just doing a training course..especially if it is a senior consultant role... You can start with Analyst or BA positions and in one year get to a middle or senior role. Use LinkedIN for jobs package your CV also... Lastly Edmontons is good, moved from ottawa an no regrets at all.. why did u choose edmonton. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I had this same issue for over a month till i called Gtb and was told i could not use a naira denominated card to make foreign online payments in naira. The payment has to be in dollars, so i went to my google payment option and changed my location to America. This made the app ask for payment in dollars instead of the former naira equivalent. I was then able to successfully make payment. follyzee: 6 Likes 4 Shares |

hello guys, I'm Charles bt name and im new in this forum. Presently I'm in UAE but i want to leave UAE for Canada. I know a lot would have been said previously but its not possible for me to start reading from page one due to the nature of work that i do. I work 12 hours and i hardly have enough sleep. Please i will love to have your opinion on how i can migrate from UAE to canada. Someone told me that i can not migrate from UAE directly that i will have to go to Nigeria first but as at that too what are the things that i need to know or do, so that once i get back to Nigeria it wont take me long even if possible i will love toi have everything ready here before going home. Which type of visa will u recommend and how do i go about getting it |

Hello, It's unfortunate that you work 12 hours a day, but if you are interested in Canada you will have to create time to read up some pages on Canada immigration. You do not have to go back to Nigeria to be able to process your immigration to Canada, you can still do it while in UAE. Researching on the immigration subject is a must except you want to pay an agent to do it for you, which is not also a guarantee that he/she will do it right. You may even be swindled in the process. In this thread we encourage DIY, and most of us are landed immigrants in Canada. How about your weekends? this venture requires time with or without an agent, because you will need to study for your English Test (IELTS), the agent cant do that for you. You will have to follow up on your credential assessment especially if your degrees are from our wonderful country, Nigeria. Wish you all the best! ewuoso: 8 Likes |

It's possible he may have to leave the UAE before he can apply. There are circumstances, where you can't apply from your country of residence. However, like you've said, he has to read about the whole process.
