TheCongo2: It's funny how I only discovered city-data forum yesterday, and now someone mentions it today. Such a giant forum about pretty much every city in the world. Kept me glued to my PC all day. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Chinnie4Jesus:Oakville is a very quiet, cool city, 96% white city though. Child friendly Yeah, car insurance is lower than suaga, Brampton but accommodation in Oakville is a lil higher. Depends on your job in Toronto, by G0 train is 50mins. A lot of people do shuttle, either park and ride or go by bus from house to station and then take train to Toronto. Costs 8-10$ though/train ride. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

CookieLyon: There are a couple of pharmaceutical companies in Mississauga and you as an accountant can get a job anywhere within the GTA axis, Mississauga inclusive. The cost of living in Mississauga is not the cheapest though. |

ottawasenators: Not really. Nairaland is a pastime for those of us on nairaland. And the population figures of membership are exaggerated because the regular nairalander has 2 accounts while the professionals have at least five. I would say the average Nigerian does not know Nairaland. At most the name will sound familiar for those who are online a lot. 14 Likes |

Please why is it no one is talking about how to get legal/professional jobs in Canada (not menial), and what one needs to do about it. Please I,d appreciate responses as it is what interests me the most. |

PefHouse: We also had to update our address for PR card delivery after getting permanent accommodation. Here is the link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/change-address.html We called them to confirm it was updated as well on 1-888-242-2100 (press 2320 when you get through to get directed to the right department). 20 Likes 13 Shares |

einsteino: Thanks einsteino for the pictures, very thoughtful of you! Looking at the pictures though, one would think we were talking about living in the North Pole ![]() I have stayed in the East Coast of the US in the deadliest of winters and didn't require this much, is it safe to assume that Canada (in your case Montreal/Toronto et al) is colder? I did check the weather today, NY is 390, Phil is 450 and Ottawa is 370. I just want to manage my expectations. Thanks again. |

Tojued: Good detective work Tojued. I have just realize that as of today's nairaland has 2,114,315 members. But the real figure can be less than a million given the reasons elaborated in your post. Nigeria has close to 200 millions people. Therefore, the membership on here is just a drop in the ocean when we compare it to the entire population of Nigeria. Less than 0.5%. It makes sense now why every single Nigerian I have met never heard of Nairaland. When I first discovered this site, I remember the very first Nigerian I asked if he knew of nairaland was a banker at TD . He was in Canada on student visa. He never heard of nairaland but wrote the link on a paper and told me he would check the site later. This was back in 2010. From that point each time I would meet a Nigerian I would ask if they know Nairaland. 2 Likes |

Tilda123: Where in Canada are you located? I didn't know new immigrants qualify for government assistance to live in a shelter. They will make you pay pay every single kobo back to the government if they ever find out you was staying in a shelter as new immigrants. I believe you have to be in Canada for a certain time to qualify for public assistance or welfare. |
