1. Winnipeg isn't as crazy as portrayed considering that you won't be living outside in an open space. Your apartment, Office etc sure has something to keep you warm , while you wear, protectice clothing too. 2. Right now, I don't think you can leave the province that nominated you before 2years. quote author=bankylan post=67643878]Hello everyone.....are there people that live in [MANITOBA AND SASKACHEWAN] Winnipeg, Saskatoon or Regina here? Seems many live in Ontario and Alberta. I want to ask if the weather in Winnipeg is really bad as being portrayed....... Also, is there anyone who got provisional nominee and has left the province after a reasonable time. What is the implication of moving out of the province that nominated you after say 6 months or 1 year?[/quote] |

Just heard on a Nigerian station that the Canadian Immigration Minister is in Lagos talking about stemming the increase in US-Canada border crossing. Also just saw this: OTTAWA -- Nigeria has committed to helping reduce the flow of asylum seekers into Canada and has pledged to issue travel documents more quickly to its citizens who are in the process of being expelled from Canada as illegitimate refugee claimants, Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen said Friday. Hussen travelled to the African nation this week as part of the Liberal government's efforts to stop asylum seekers from crossing into Canada from the United States between legal checkpoints. The assurance over documentation was a key commitment made during meetings Hussen held with top government officials in Nigeria, the minister said in a briefing with reporters about the trip. "I got assurances about co-operation between Canada and Nigeria on irregular migration, both in terms of helping us with the deterrence message to the Nigerian public, but also in getting travel documents, passports for people who are in the removals queue," Hussen said. "Travel documents for Nigerian nationals who are set to be removed from Canada, but who lack travel documents." Most of the people entering Canada from the U.S. between regular border crossings this spring have been from Nigeria, with the majority carrying valid U.S. travel visas. One of the difficulties in dealing with the border crossers is obtaining proper documentation so they can be removed from Canada and returned to their country of origin once their asylum claims have been rejected, a process that can sometimes take years. The goal of meetings with his direct counterpart in the Nigerian government, as well as that country's foreign affairs minister, diplomatic officials from the United States and civil society groups in Lagos and the Nigerian capital, Abuja, was to get the message across that Nigerians can't simply walk into Canada and expect to stay, said Hussen. "There is misinformation being directed toward some Nigerian nationals and they are being told that going to Canada and crossing the border is a free ticket. So we're dispelling those myths," he said. U.S. officials in Nigeria also provided details about how they have reduced the number of travel visas issued to Nigerians in recent months, the minister added. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/nigeria-to-issue-travel-documents-faster-to-expelled-border-crossers-hussen-1.3935607 |

Greetings to everyone! I have been a silent reader of this thread and I have gained a lot from all the information provided here. I have a question for landed seniors who used Ethiopian Airlines. We are planning to land in Edmonton in July and have been searching for flights. I used the airline's mobile app to search and got a really good deal from Lagos to Toronto and then to Edmonton (through air Canada) . My questions are: 1. Would we be required to pay extra for our checked-in luggages on the air Canada flight from Toronto to Edmonton? 2. Secondly how did y'all book your connecting flights from Toronto to your final destinations? Did you pay for your luggages? 2 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by primeson1(m): 12:17am On May 23, 2018 |
enocoded4life: 1. You won't pay anything extra 2. You would have booked your connecting flight from Nigeria via Ethopia Airline (book - Lagos to Edmonton straight) When you arrived Toronto airport, look for air canada stand and check in your luggage (you would have collected your luggage as soon as you landed via Ethopian airline) 7 Likes 9 Shares |

primeson1: Thank you for the response, that's good to know. 1.Does this mean we won't clear our luggage with immigration /customs before checking in at air Canada stand? 2. We have about an hour and half between landing and boarding of the air Canada flight, would this time be enough to complete landing formalities without us missing our flight? 2 Likes |

rainazoe: You can use your lease agreement/ rent receipt to prove residency. Since you have lived in Ontario for less than 3 months and applying now, your health card will get to you just as you clock 3 months old in the province. 3 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 7:06am On May 23, 2018 |
rainazoe:yes. The bank can get you one or any mail that they send to your postal address. If you have not decided to stay in Ontario, then you may wanna delay applying for a health card seeing as it would only kick in by d 3rd month. 3 Likes |

simiolu1: simiolu1, I checked lynda.com and the pricing seems to be higher than those listed on Udemy. On Udemy, there are always promotions going on. As a result of the promo, a course on Udemy is about $14. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello house, I have followed this and other threads relating to Canada for some time now. Read thousand of pages. I decided to ask you seniors who are already there. I have worked with FRSC for the past 10 years and have a B.sc in mass communication and have been giving serious thought to moving. Please what are my options. You sincere and candid advice would be appreciated. I don't mind the hard, bitter truth. Thanks |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TheCongo2: 10:23pm On May 23, 2018 |
czaratwork: Please provide more details. How long are you intending to stop in Amsterdam? Are you intending to leave the airport? Which passport are you travelling with? Are you a permanent resident of Canada? It all depends on the answers to the questions above. |

czaratwork: It depends on if it's just one stop in those countries then an onward journey. Then you don't need. However if you're changing airports e.g YYZ to LHR then LGW to LOS, you'll need a visa. Same thing for the Schengen countries. |

enocoded4life: Did you book from Lagos to Edmonton with Ethiopian Airlines or just Toronto. are you coming on a weekday or weekends. 1 and half hour is tricky because of SIN and the crowd generally...but as a first timer if u miss ur flight the are likely to put you on the next one free. |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by follyzee: 7:13am On May 24, 2018 |
It's depends Did u buy a ticket to toronto eg Klm then you bought Air Canada yourself for your trip from Toronto to edmonton? If yes then u'll have to pay 4 baggage at air canada However if u bought ur Klm ticket to Edmonton even thou u will stop at toronto b4 proceeding to Edmonton via air Canada, then u won't pay 4 baggage Then irrespective of which ever above, u will collect your bags at toronto go thru immigration checks and then return it to Air canada. 1 and half hrs may not be enough, it all depends on d queue n immigration officers attending to you n baggage checks. However if u miss your flight u will be placed on another flight which sometimes may lead to a wait of 4hrs, it all depends Hope this helps enocoded4life: 3 Likes 1 Share |

follyzee: Thank you for your response. I booked with Ethiopian Airlines for Lagos to Edmonton. I have called them and they confirmed that I wouldn't be paying any extra charges for the air Canada flight. We will be landing on a sunday, I can only hope that all the landing formalities won't go beyond an hour, but if it does we'll just wait for the next available flight. Thank you. 1 Like |

cutezain: You'd have to apply to the NCA for evaluation (You are paying 450 CAD for this). They will ask for your LLB and BL transcripts, and a letter of good standing from your bar association, you may want to start getting these available before leaving Nigeria. After evaluation, you will be given a number of courses to write, You are paying for exams too. When you pass, you'd get a certificate of qualification from them which you will then take to the law society of the province you choose to settle in. Other steps / hurdles will be set by the law society. Your journey starts here https://flsc.ca/national-committee-on-accreditation-nca/ 12 Likes 6 Shares |
