Hello House, please I need your opinion. My CRS score is 430 and I'm thinking of applying for EE with spouse un-accompanying to boast my score.
My question is this, how easy is it to file for spouse once I get to Canada? Also is the one year processing time-line feasible? What can help fast track the processing upon landing in Canada?
Elders in the house, please your help is needed. Thanks.

Hi MummyJaygirls,
I see you are in Edmonton. My family and I will be landing in September. I need to sort accommodation before landing. Can you please advise on how to go about it and possibly link me up with a real estate agent.
Also, which area is safe and better to live with family?
Thanks in advance.

Akingsqueen:
I have another question as regards cargo to Canada. How is it done? About how much does it cost? Are they efficient? Are there any restrictions as to what can be sent through them? Can someone who used them give me contact of the ones he/she used.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late response, it’s best u send me a mail for enquiries. I respond a little faster via mail


I don’t have any realtors contact but u can search all dem rentfaster, kijiji and if u know someone around, they can help u look it up and pay if u like it.

For me I like South, SouthWest, SouthEast, West and some new upcoming areas in d north side

Wura27:

You're too much! I'm sure targeting the Big 4.

Thanks very much

Hi guys,

Long time no chat. Some of you might remember this my post below.... Anyway long story short, I got precisely what I was targeting barely 2 months after I arrived in Canada. No Canadian experience or education at all! I did not even apply, they found me on LinkedIn, sent me a message and the application process went on from there.

I got two graduate jobs on the same day but I chose the one that pays far less because it had been my target since I was in Naija and I know it would make far more sense in my resume when i decide to move in the near future.

This is just to motivate someone who might be feeling down about job search or thinking he has to compromise and do something he doesn’t want to. No, you don’t have to if u don’t want to! Have a plan and stick to that plan whilst also trying to improve yourself.

Maybe some other time I can write full gist on the interview process, how I was improving myself when I arrived, my preparation methods, etc.

Wish you all the very best!

MummyJaygirls:


There are agents that cargo stuff. It’s usually cheaper from 100kg and above. You can cargo anything except meat and fowl products. If found by CBSA they will trash it

Asinkwa:
I cargoed 275kg at N340,000 (total cost). It included clothing, household appliances, shoes and foodstuff. My cargo came in with Airfrance.
If you are in Lagos, you can go to NAHCO at International airport and get quotes from different agents. However, I was referred to the agent I used, and I can say that he 'get mouth'. On our way to drop the cargo off, policemen at the entrance said they wanted to inspect the things, we just called the agent, he spoke with the policemen and they let us go through immediately.
I am not sure if putting his number here is deemed advertising, so you can dm me for it.

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.

dfash2000:

I know someone that is a realtor in Edmonton.

Akingsqueen:
Oh you do?
Kindly hook me up.
I will send you a mail now for his contact.
I hope he will permit communication on whatsapp.

Thanks for your response.

I replied check your message

fabdee:

Pls seniors in the house. My husband is the PA and our CRS is 456 without me having to write ielts,i only evaluated my result. However I want to confirm if I still need to write ielts cos I heard its one of the requirements for job and citizenship(expired or not). Pls house how true is this as I am confused and don't want to waste money since our score can fetch us ita speedily.

gasplant:


I'd advice you write the IELTS, Academic in particular. I am in same situation and my wife is going to write. You never can know where you would need it. It's better you do that now and get it done with while you are still here,when you get there,you may have less time on your hands

Hope this helps!

Arrived Calgary, Alberta early last month. Just wanted to share my quick settlement story. Weather has been relatively great. Got registered with Immigration centres and have received tremendous help there. Got a 2 bedroom apartment in the NW area for 1,300 which is ok. A friend helped me with securing that and I did not have to make payment for 3 or 6 months in advance. Just a refundable security deposit and first month rent. Like most have mentioned previously here, you will need a vehicle especially in the NW as small grocery shops and stationery stores are not easily accessible by foot. I got tremendous help with my Banking needs from a Nigerian working in a Bank. Free Banking for one year, 2,500 MasterCard limit with option of a Line of Credit etc. He says after the one year I can still transition to another free banking account without minimum balance if I want. He even helped to refer me to employers in the Finance Industry and one of them has even called me for interviews already and I only met the guy on an online forum oh. Also, like many have mentioned here previously you have to target your resumes to job postings. What else am I missing in my story? Anyways it has been a great number of days being here with no regrets (except that there is no suya here lol) . Let me know if you have any enquires I may be of help. Thanks to everyone who has previously dropped useful information here.
