Guys, I'm currently looking at flying with BA because price is cheap. There would be a 9-hour layover @ Heathrow airport UK. I read somewhere that one needs a transit visa if passing through UK . As for me, i intend to stay put inside that airport for the 9hrs since the connecting flight is still in Heathrow. Do you still think I need the transit visa? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Kmgb: 5:07am On Jun 02, 2018 |
blessings2017: No you wouldn't, as long as u stick to ur plan of staying put at Heathrow for all of 9 hours,u will only need a visa if u will be switching airports to say Gatwick for your connecting flight to Canada. 5 Likes 1 Share |

mzjennypher:@mzjennypher, in my opinion, Ottawa has opportunities for people with banking background, but it depends on the type of roles you are looking for, that’s why doing your own research is very important. Check job sites or LinkedIn to see if the type of roles you are looking for are available in the city you plan to relocate to. A labour market research also helps (see link below): https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/explorecareers I think Ottawa is affordable (from the perspective of a single individual, don’t know if it’s the same for those with families). I lived in shared accommodation in the downtown area, my rent was 625 CAD inclusive of all bills and internet. I applied for equipass and got discount on bus pass, see link below: http://www.octranspo.com/tickets-and-passes/equipass In terms of food and all, unfortunately I can’t really give a breakdown or estimate. I no longer live in Ottawa, I moved in February. I took my own advice “keep an open mind and look beyond Ottawa for opportunities if required”. I wish you all the best in your journey. Research, Research, Research, but ultimately the decision is yours to make. Have a nice weekend. 28 Likes 18 Shares |

remiaig: @remiaig. This was quite resourceful considering I and my spouse intend to land in Ottawa, Ontario. While she is a Pharmacist, I am an electrical electronic Engineer (Major in Electronic and computer Engineering) by course of study. My work experience thus far has been in production (Line Manager in a brewery) and as a Maintenance planner (Management). Hence ive never had the opportunity to gain some valuable experience related to my academic background. Moreso am considering making a total switch to IT management or IT (project management) and not programming or software development side of things on Landing. Thus am considering acquiring a graduate certificate or diploma in IT in a college/Institute right in Ontario (Ottawa preferably). I dont know if this is a good career decision. Additionally I need some guidance in making this transition and selecting an Institute or college suited for this in Ottawa. Any further suggestions or support from you or anyone will be so embraced. Thanks once again. 2 Likes |

salford1: Edmonton has a lot of jobs. The jobs in northern Alberta have a lot of fly in/fly out. So you can make the oil money while still living in Calgary or Edmonton. I like Calgary out of every city in Alberta. Good jobs is a bit more difficult to get there for sure. More so than other Alberta city. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Please good people of nairaland,I have been reading and reading to get information before we land. I intend to do nursing but I don’t have any background in sciences. How do I start? Can I do the Prerequisites online. I have B.A and M.A in Linguistics. I saw the after degree program but I don’t know how it works. Please I need someone to guide me on what and what to do first, even what I can start doing from Nigeria to help me achieve my goal of getting my nursing degree. 1 Like |

maternal:Edmonton has always been know to have jobs especially the trades or hands-on type (blue collar) in addition to the Government of Alberta jobs, and Calgary is more of white collar job city. Getting a FIFO job in Alberta right now is rare unlike previous times. FIFO jobs were the first to take the hit as cost cutting measures when when the price of oil burst. I know Grand Prairie for sure is doing well at the moment. Companies were even handing out blue-books to people that have interest in the trades on their first day of arrival in GP. Something that could potentially take 1 years or more to achieve without connections in a place like Calgary. Lots of friends moved there recently, and I was tempted to move as well, but I think it won't be a good decision for me to live a government job for the boom burst cycle in the Texas of the North. I hope that the trans mountain pipeline goes through completely. This would help bring back some good jobs in Alberta. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

alt3r3g0:were you a landed immigrant already at the time? Canada has a TWOV (transit without visa) agreement for their PRs with the UK. It means you can transit through the country without an existing visa(usually as long as your flight leaves by midnight of that day or within 24hrs I'm not sure of exact duration). However, this TWOV is entirely at the discretion of the UK border official. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
