I am in sales and sales people are making more. It all depends on you experience, who you are working with and how you sell yourself. I got a job in banking and sales almost about the same time but I ditched d banking without thinking once not to talk of twice. I may not be there yet but if you are determined and focused, you can make money in sales. I am not referring to commission, I am talking about a good base salary. Also come to think of it getting a 40k job in Canada if you are not in healthcare,IT,Engineering is not a bad way to start, I am not discouraging having great dreams but for a start but I mean a 40k job is not a bad start if u get 1. I know quite a number of people who gave been here for a few years with solid experience and packaging who are just struggling for a 40k role & there are those within a year who are already between $70-100k. mumdaramic: 5 Likes |

coolhayor:I would say 5-6 in BC and Quebec, then 4-5 in Alberta. Jobs are more diverse and more in bigger provinces. I also doubt if any of the maritime provinces would have more job than Sask. 2 Likes 1 Share |

coolhayor:You are on point. I believe you are talking branch banking. Branch banking doesn't pay well in Canada. Better paying non- branch banking jobs are concentrated in Toronto just like Lagos Island in Nigeria. As per the pay. 40k is not bad. One can live decently on it till something better comes up. Most survival jobs would pay under 30k per year using walmart as a benchmark. In addition, lots of white collar jobs pay between 40k to 60k. Not all companies are willing to pay high wages. I once declined an Engineering position willing to start me on 42k per year, an American fortune 500 company based in Edmonton. Higher paying survival jobs are in healthcare, security at airports, some customer services roles, and labourer positions in the oil fields/energy industry. Everyone is running a different race in Canada. Just as you mentioned, some would land an above 70k salary within one year of landing in Canada, while others that have been here for years could be struggling to land a job that pays atleast $40k. 11 Likes 1 Share |

miliki777: Lecture slides are always provided by most professors and some take the pain to even write on the board if it is their style.. Any textbook required will be in the school's library or something you can download online. Data is not a problem as your school and the house you will live in will cater for that... Having said that, go to the Travelling to Canada students' thread on Nairaland for continual inquiries and heads up.. As you can clearly read since you have a bachelors' degree, this thread is for immigrants... (no vex, na joke i dey for the last sentence tho) 10 Likes 1 Share |

jelmusboy: If you haven't driven before, going to a driving school in Nigeria will be advisable but wouldn't be all sufficient in Canada as the rules are different, road signs are way apart and the way to getting drivers license in Canada is provincial based and varies. Why then should you go to a driving school in Nigeria should be your next question? It will familiarize you with what a car is, at least if you don't know what a car is.. Lol... they will show you the gear stick, the brakes and the accelerator/fire(Nigeria), gas pedal(North America), you will have opportunity to also begin driving no matter how little it may be, its even better as you will be learning as a rookie and wouldn't have mastered the bad habits of road users abundant in Nigeria before arrival, that is to say you will be very redeemable on arrival from the few you might have picked up while learning in Nigeria. Having said that, while you will still require at least like 10 hours drive lessons before your road test which may be a minimum of 8 months after you land(assuming Ontario, and assuming you will be writing your G1 test the same month of arrival which is advisable ) you will be more easily teachable with the background knowledge gotten from the Nigerian drive school. Did I remember to say getting your winter jackets is not negotiable, even pilots normally have to get jackets... lol Don't take the pun serious, take the message serious tho.. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Boss13: In the short run because you might have not amassed complimentary experience which the BSc holder may be paid for, as soon as you acquire requisite knowledge/experience, you climb to levels the BSc holder may never be able to get to.. A Masters' degree will allow you earn equivalent or more with the right job what a college graduate with over 6+ years experience in same industry will earn.. Canadian education is very essential in the Canadian space.. 2 Likes |

Newmum0615: Do endeavor the new one has a second issue stated with the date you are envisaging quoted on it, I really don't know if it is a new thing with driving history as it was before now never required.. to the best of my knowledge and experience, it is just basically the drivers' license that is required and they correlate mainly your names and the dates of issue/re-issue to determine the class of license you can actually test for... So with a re-issue date stating 2018 and the license indicating a first issue of 2011.. You should be fine to go straight to road test the G class license after taking your mandatory G1 test, knowing fully well that you are headed for Ontario.. 1 Like |

Expectantbee: You may have your specific reason for making Mississauga or Brampton a priority, Have you ever thought of living in North York, East york, Etobicoke and Scarborough to mention but a few.. these places all makes up the GTAs and they have the same Transit that transverses the whole areas and they are all some minutes away from Toronto downtown( call it the heart of Canada, you may never be wrong!). Having said that, I can't categorically say, I will assume the Mississauga transit is more efficient as regards time intervals, they both have same prices for bus tickets on a single way trip and I should also think houses in Brampton are on the average cheaper than Mississauga. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Know more about Canadian Heroes Sir John Macdonald: Sir John Alexander Macdonald (11 January 1815 – 6 June 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada (1867–1873, 1878–1891). The dominant figure of Canadian Confederation, he had a political career which spanned almost half a century. Macdonald was born in Scotland; when he was a boy his family immigrated to Kingston in the Province of Upper Canada (today in eastern Ontario). As a lawyer he was involved in several high-profile cases and quickly became prominent in Kingston, which elected him in 1844 to the legislature of the Province of Canada. He died in 1891. He is respected today for his key role in the formation of Canada. Historical rankings have consistently placed Macdonald as one of the highest rated Prime Ministers in Canadian history (Source). 6 Likes |

Sir Wilfrid Laurier: Sir Henri Charles Wilfrid Laurier (20 November 1841 – 17 February 1919) was the seventh Prime Minister of Canada, in office from 11 July 1896 to 6 October 1911. His vision for Canada was a land of individual liberty and decentralized federalism. Laurier was also well-regarded for his efforts to establish Canada as an autonomous country within the British Empire. Laurier holds a number of records. He is tied with Sir John A. Macdonald for the most consecutive federal elections won (four), and his 15-year tenure remains the longest unbroken term of office among prime ministers. At 31 years, 8 months, Laurier was the longest-serving leader of a major Canadian political party, surpassing William Lyon Mackenzie King by over two years. Along with King, he also holds the distinction of serving as Prime Minister during the reigns of three Canadian Monarchs. He is the fourth-longest serving Prime Minister of Canada, behind King, Macdonald, and Pierre Trudeau. Laurier's portrait has been displayed on the Canadian five-dollar bill since 1972 (Source). 4 Likes |

William Lyon Mackenzie King: William Lyon Mackenzie King (December 17, 1874 – July 22, 1950), also commonly known as Mackenzie King, was the dominant Canadian political leader from the 1920s through the 1940s. He served as the tenth Prime Minister of Canada in 1921–1926, 1926–1930 and 1935–1948. He is best known for his leadership of Canada throughout the Second World War (1939–1945) when he mobilized Canadian money, supplies and volunteers to support Britain while boosting the economy and maintaining home front morale (Source). 4 Likes |

Terry Fox: Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox (July 28, 1958 – June 28, 1981) was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated due to cancer, he embarked on an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. Although the spread of his cancer eventually forced him to end his quest after 143 days and 5,373 kilometres (3,339 mi), and ultimately cost him his life, his efforts resulted in a lasting, worldwide legacy (Source). 7 Likes |

joo2018: czaratwork: joo2018: Canada's present points ranking system aka "Express Entry" was actually copied from New Zealand/Australia "Expression of Interest" program when Jason Kenney was Immigration minister under the Conservative government. Prior to express entry, Canada used an occupation in demand point based system which was similar to the UK's HSMP system. However the parent point based system originated from Canada many moons ago as stated. https://www.cicnews.com/2013/02/canada-pursue-expression-interest-immigration-model-022314.html#gs.yAKC5Ww 3 Likes 1 Share |
