I'm interested.... Next step
thanks Bsbabe for this.

this has really pushed me to pick up where i left the dream. when the dream was still fresh, i had registered for CBAP, but didnt follow up because i didnt find any suitable training centre. most seen where either too expensive or far away. i tried youtube but that didnt last long. Data would not allow me to be great.

I have already bought the course on Udemy as i was reading your post. so i can start afresh.

Anyone interested in BA? we can come together to make the learning process fun.

Still in Naija, waiting for PPR.

This thread is about Life in Canada for immigrants or Permanent Residents.

It is an avenue for people that have emigrated to Canada (with their families) to share their experiences to help future hopefuls.

Kindly share your personal experiences and comments on:

* When you landed at the airport?
* What are the immigration rules to follow?
* How do you carry all that cash with you? For example: a family of 5 will need $25,923.
* Which province did you settle in and why.
* Where you live and why you like it or don't like it? Tips on choosing the right neighborhood, mortgage plans, proximity to work etc.
* How easy was it to settle in, with your kids? How did you go about finding the right schools for them? What is their school system like for toddlers (age 5 and below)?
* Can a mother combine work and taking care of the kids with the husband being in Nigeria?
* What culture shock have you experienced?
* Tips on how to cloth and cope with the cold weather
* Are there Nigerian food/restaurants etc? Are they very expensive?
* Can one start a business (exportation, consultancy) in Canada?
* How much does your family survive on in a month?
* And any other ...

Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 2:
(https://www.nairaland.com/3999848/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled) for the Permanent Residency process which is how most of us got here. 40manlappy has given a beautiful summary on how to get started and of everything you need to know on the first page. I hope to do something similar here soon.

pls guys, what is the easiest way to migrate to Canada?

cochtrane:

Faced the same prob. Your immigrant Visa is only one entry, so you can't reuse it. I asked a Canada Border Services officer and according to him, CBS has no prob letting you back in with your COPR. That however doesn't mean the airline/US officers will accept that. Your PR card is what they'll want to see. So, in summary, you may not be able to regain entry into Canada.

Good day seniors in the house, Started from page one, thread one here as advised and its been a wealth of information and useful tips gathered so far.
I had to jump pages to get here because i have a burning question to ask, questions really but i'll drop these first.
** I have searched on Indeed but Health and Safety jobs doesnt seem to abound there. From ground experience please what is it like over there?
I graduated SLT (Chemistry), did CIEH 2 and 3 and was intending to continue on the HSE pathway when we get to canada but i don't know if its a ready market and what the pay is like(Calgary or Ottawa) also if i have to write some other certifications to be able to start at all in that career pathway considering i don't have previous work experience here in Nigeria.
*** I have five years banking experience (Cashier and Customer service) and jobs abound on indeed though varying wages in the different provinces and companies. Should i just continue in that path, write a couple of professional certifications to establish myself and just forget i ever read sciences? Is there much room for career advancement there?
****My husband is an IT support person/Project management/BA, from experience where do you think its best to live in...ottawa or Calgary? I sort of prefer Ottawa for jobs for him but houses don't come really cheap there for beginners like us, Calgary seems to ace in that and we have family there.

Please kindly advise.

@Blackbuddy, @Salford Please pitch in too thanks

Hi seniors in the house,
I just realised my passport with my immigrant visa is nowhere to b found. I hve searched everywhere. I am billed to travel in a month's time.
Please does anyone know anyone who has been in this situation?
What do i do?
If i get a new passport, how long would it take cic or the visa office to restamp.
Or what is the procedure?
Please help. I am so disturbed.

njbybrthnly:
I want to believe you still have your COPR letter. If yes (or even if not), then I think your best bet will be to call your visa office or send them a mail to know how to proceed

Hi there, this might differ with provinces but I’m in Ontario and a woman is expected to work for at least 13 weeks before the date her baby is expected to be born (the due date).

There’s more to read up on https://www.ontario.ca/document/your-guide-employment-standards-act/pregnancy-and-parental-leave

Hello All,

I am still awaiting PPR.

I will like my mother to travel with us for at least 6 weeks. Basicly for emotional support.

Please seniors that have processed visiting visa for their mum, how did you go about it.

She is a retired nurse and is not working at the moment.

My husbaand and I will be sponsoring her 100%.

Thank you.

So the little girl hit by a C-Train at the Somerset-Bridlewood station in Calgary is Nigerian-Canadian
Very sad.

May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss.

Please which is the best sign-in partner to use on Canada.ca for creating an account?

Regards.

AZeD1:


There's no "best" sign in partner a lot of the the partners are financial institutions and only account holders can use them.

wwwtortoise:


So how do I go about it since I have no account with any of the listed partners.

TheVermont:
Hi guys, I would be landing third week of November in Toronto and I have a couple of questions/concerns.

1. I intend to go with USD 5000 cash and have the bank statement showing the remaining POF in naira. Would that suffice?

2. As regards accommodation, I've been searching for a room in a shared apartment in the GTA (North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough and Mississauga) on a couple of sites now and I haven't been able to come up with something tangible. The ones I've seen are up for rent immediately and might not be available then. Does anyone here know of any available rooms in those areas or know someone who does? Budget is $650

3. What is the best/cheapest phone plan to use in Toronto?

4. For banks, which is the most immigrant friendly.

I apologise if they've been answered before but I've not been able to go through the thread in it's entirety.

AZeD1:


There's an option to create an account using what is called the GCKey.
Since you are on this thread, I'm guessing your want to create an account for immigration purposes, there are two threads for that one for immigration as a permanent residence, another for students. you should visit those threads.
