Good morning guys, Going through the discussions on this forum, it seems IT, accounting, medicine pathways are more frequently discussed. Lawyers in the house (landed PRs and hopefuls), can we be forthcoming with more detailed info like, the nature of legal practice in certain provinces, how to combine courses with similar course outline for ease of examination ...? The list is inexhaustible honestly. Is there any learned colleague that is writing Canadian Constitutional Law this year? I need people of interest on this issue of getting the required textbook by Peter Hogg, Constitutional Law of Canada, 2017 Student Edition (pdf version). Alternatively, please i would like to be added to the group of FTL lawyers currently preparing for NCA exams, if any, so that i don't bore or derail this thread. Happy Sunday everyone! 2 Likes |

Pls let's correct a misnomer. No one receiving government benefits in any country is able to invite relatives to visit. That is not possible. Also child support differs from country to country. Some countries pay support for all children under 18 weather or not the children parent are employed. They just have to meet many of the requirements that the other poster posted. 3 Likes 1 Share |

While I also wait for someone to help me out with this one. Hello everyone. Abeg my good people of Edmonton, help a sister out. We will be landing in September and would prefer to have a house upon landing. Now my concern is that we all know that in every city, there's the good place to live and the bad (not so safe) areas. Can someone guide me on the good areas or communities to search and reason. I have heard that the South East and South West area are good and safe enough. We want a decent, accessible and safe area good to raise our kids. Also, if you have any contact of a real estate agent, kindly hook me up. Thanks all in advance. Akingsqueen: |

blessings2017: I was once in your shoes sir but when I got to the POE I discovered my mountains was nothing but sand in the words of Adekunle Gold. 1. Does an officer at POE have access to one's itinerary to know if i intend going back? Answer: The officer doesnt have any business with your intinery. 2. what if in the event that I'm asked if I'm going back to Nigeria, how do i tactically maneuver ? Answer: Nobody is going to ask you if you're staying or not..Incase you are asked simply say,you're here to stay..Please don't say what you're asked. 3. Will the officer refuse to process my PR card seeing that i plan to do short-landing? Answer: Pls,get your act together and embark on your journey.Your card will be processed,provided you're within the ambit of the law. 4. Can I go ahead in paying for return flight ticket, or should I purchase one-way flight ticket? Prices are relatively cheap at the moment, but gradually increasing. Paying a one-way ticket isn't quite economical. Answer: The officer wont ask about your ticket details.You're already a PR and there's no restrictions on your travels. Even if you travel without your PR card,you can always apply for Temporary Travel Permit from the nearest Canadian Embassy..Manage and book your flight ontime before the prices go to the sky. Summarily, be bold as you go and never entertain any fear.Be careful with your spoken words so you don't say what you're not asked. Canada is a free Country where you'll enjoy real freedom with a welcoming smile on everyone's face. ...Welcome to Canada... 25 Likes 6 Shares |

verygoodones1: You do not need to visit any branch physically to do international transfer,it can be done online Call costumer care, they will explain to you However, when you do the transfer,depending on the mode the foreign currency came into your account (cash deposit or inflow,cash deposits attracts more charges) you are limited to a daily transfer of $10K per day with charges as high as more that N25k per transfer But I heard some guys, that lives in Canada, do the exchange for you and transfer the money straight into your Canadian Bank account (you can google this for details) with that you avoid the charges by the bank 2 Likes 2 Shares |

For those in Branch Banking Operations and even branch Internal Control, Do you know that experience can fetch you Anti Money Laundering Analyst role here in Canada? Check the JD of AML analyst online and look out for the transferable skills you have as customers service officer and operations manager and tailor your resume to those skills. You may need a little brushing up like reading and taking the ACAMS exams (Anti money laundering certification exams)to prepare for the market. If you don't want to take the exams, you can read the materials to prepare yourself and defend your resume. Back home most of us have our STR software that is integrated into our core banking application to pull out information for transactions above threshold but here you do the investigation and write a report which the manager would approve before filing the STR. You just need a little brushing up before launching yourself into that area. It has so many roles like analyst, investigator, quality assurance etc. People with operations and internal control/compliance experience back home just brush themselves up and launch into the market here. You know in Nigeria, one person is made to do 10 peoples work but not so here. Roles are seperated here. While thinking of what to do here also give it a thought. 35 Likes 6 Shares |

drnoel: First off, I like that you point out that child support differs from country to country. Are you speaking authoritatively and from experience @ the words in bold? We need to make things clear. Canada has Child Care Benefits (CCB). Every family is entitled to CCB in Canada and it is not a poor man thing. When you apply for CCB, you put in your tax income for previous years and it is used to calculate your CCB for the mother. You are not eligible if you do not have children and the Canadian government takes it upon themselves to take care of EVERY CHILD in Canada which is why you have the CCB. Sponsoring an eligible relative Please tell me why you cannot invite your relatives to visit because you are receiving CCB I think you have got the terms child benefits and child support mixed up. As long as your relatives are not migrating, there is no reason why they can't be invited. Sponsoring your relative to come here as a PR is another kettle of fish where you have to prove financial capacity of taking care of that person. I stand to be corrected. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

4712A6: Am speaking authoritatively and I was not talking of either the benefits or support, though the topic in question has nothing to do with child support. I was talking of people on welfare being unable to invite relatives. 5 Likes 1 Share |

drnoel: Better, so let me rephrase the question. Can a PR who is collecting CCB invite relatives over or not? That's the part I want you to clarify. I don't want us to confuse readers here with different terms of support, welfare, benefit and other semantics. When you say No one receiving government benefits in any country is able to invite relatives to visit , that is very confusing. CCB is a benefit, HST is too so it's very loud for you to make such statement. I am being specific about Canada and not any other country. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Adebashy: Very possible. I know people who moved from UK to Australia and Canada and a friend of mine living in Berlin just recently received his Canadian residency card (if that's what it's called). Moving from Europe to any where else depends greatly on Ur resident status and what u or Ur spouse does for a living. If that question can't be answered then no reasonable advice will make sense. 2 Likes 1 Share |
