Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Gracemama: 2:41pm On Jul 07, 2018 |
hello house, please i need a contact for a very good immigration lawyer, preferably based in Canada. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Zutlin: 5:07pm On Jul 07, 2018 |
Gracemama: I would recommend Mark Holthe - founder Express Entry Law Facebook Group. He's experienced, compassionate and straight-forward. He wouldn't accept payment unless he's confident of a positive outcome - reason why a consultation is the first step. I have consulted with him twice and his patience gets me all the time (expecially when Internet connection begins to misbehave). After my last consultation with him, due to some issue with my card, I couldn't make payment for over a week but he was so nice and understanding. 8 Likes 5 Shares |

Good day all.Please I will be landing in 2 months time and I want to try as much as possible to make some savings on flight. Does anyone know which day of the week flight charges tend to be low(er) ? Our final destination is Calgary, what day of the week is advisable to land. Is weekend also okay? Please, i need you advice |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Miemiecious: 5:57am On Jul 09, 2018 |
Pls i need advice on when it is best to apply for the driving document from FRSC. I learnt that it expires 6 months after being issued. So, I’m thinking if I collect it too early, it may not be useful when i land in Canada or I’m I wrong? Also, is there any format for the letter especially who is it to be address to? Province? …. I need advice please, assist |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by smslive2: 10:40am On Jul 09, 2018 |
To get a cheaper flight, you will need to perform a search with +/- 5days... That would give you a weekly view of prices. Another option would be to try your search during off peak (midnight) Miemiecious: 8 Likes 1 Share |

Silent reader landing gist PPR gist has already been given on the express entry thread. COPR came approximately 10 days after passport were sent to the VFS guys (middle February). TRV that came with the PPR was valid until April 4th so we had to plan for a quick landing. We decided to land in Calgary in the middle of March 2018 ( cold dey that time oo ). Flew Lufthansa so had to do a stop over in Frankfurt and then the flight to Calgary. Food on the flight was okay but know say them no serve iyan with efo oo. Na pasta them serve oo. Plenty of drinks served on request ( wine, juice etal dey but no rose oo. Maybe the guys in the first class get rose but me no know ) Anyways we arrived YYC by 15.55 Calgary time (no forget say time difference of 7hrs dey oo) so we had effectively been travelling for 24hrs. Luckily the kids were relatively well behaved. The two smallest kids slept well on the flight and in the airport ( waiting times). The oldest dey form strong man and refused to sleep. By the time the jet lag hit the guy ehh person no need tell am to arrange himself lol There was a relatively long line in immigration so we had to wait for sometime. If we had known one person would have gone to the landing desk and taken a number, but as JJC na we wan do all step by step. Immigration stamped us in and sent us to the area for landing PR's. We had to wait a couple of hours there as people many ( I spied about 2 naija families as well). The lady that attended to us asked if we had any goods to follow but we said no. She was now telling us about Calgary and their Chinook. Me was just nodding my head like mumu. I no even ask her wetin be Chinook lol. She was kind enough to allow me do all the documentation while my wife stayed with the little ones sleeping. Just had to call my wife to sign her own COPR. I signed for the kids. The lady asked for our address in Calgary so that they could send the PR cards there..We had already rented a town house in Calgary so I just gave her that address. She did not ask anything about available funds.I asked the lady if we could get SIN at the airport and she said NO. She said we had to go to a Service Canada office to get that. From the airport we took a maxi taxi to the house. Cost about 50CAD with tip included. The landlord was waiting for us in the house and handed over the keys. House was already furnished so we had a bed and everything necessary. We rented the house through rentfaster.ca. I had to pay the first and last months rent when we met up with the landlord. Anyways 30 minutes after arriving all man wan kpai of hungry . Nothing to cook. But we sha survived that night. The next day a friend took me to a car rental place. I was able to rent a full size car for 985CAd for one month. That same day we went to the Service Canada office and sorted out SIN numbers. We also went to the RBC nearby the house and got our accounts. We went to Walmart close buy and bought stuff for chopping. The following Monday my wife now went to attempt the driving knowledge test. She missed the pass mark by one point lol. Anyways, we went back the next day and she passed in flying colours (all she needed to take the exam was a proof of address in Calgary. We had a lease agreement so she used that). For me I had to go back ( work things) so I did not bother with changing my license just yet. We also went to the registry to register for Alberta health insurance. Please check the details correctly as the registry guys can make mistakes in things like name and address. This will delay your health card. In our case they missed one digit on the address and other small mistakes. We also had to get the little one enrolled in school. It was surprisingly straight forward to get this done and luckily there was a space for him to start kindergarten immediately. He started school a few days after we landed. So I was in Calgary for approx. one month an then had to go back to continue my work. My wife got my PR card and sent it to me by courier. Surprisingly only my PR card came ( as if they knew I would need it ) . My wife and kids have not got theirs till now ( hope there is nothing to worry about). Called IRCC in June but it seems that the cards take a while ( don't ask me how the did mine in a short time oo cos I no know) Signing out folks. Abeg no comment my spelling and grammar oo English no be my native language oo na learn I learn am ooo 91 Likes 13 Shares |

Aka2003: Thanks for the update. One question please, which courier did your wife use in sending your PR card and how ? I was meant to understand in a forum that courier companies usually don't ship PR cards, and one has to be coy about it by concealing it maybe inside a book or something. Regards. 2 Likes |
