Bawss1: They are not brand new..some times clothes donated to charity abroad end up as "bail" in Naija. Whoever is shipping the "bail" to naija got the clothes almost for free. They'll sell the "bail" with no guarantee of what you get. When I moved back to naija, I had 2 big Ghana must go bags of mostly new clothes go missing between Aberdeen and England (where it was going to be shipped from to Naija). 4 Likes |

GlitteringStar2: eclectic139: ![]() The only people with any hope of a mild winter are the Torontonians - and even that is a slim hope. The rest of you guy folks to the north and south of the province should brace for a traditional Canadian winter, i.e. harsh cold and wind. The gods have decided it so prepare and make the most of it. ![]() Winter can be a lot of fun if you don't fight it and accept it. 2 Likes |

Hello Seniors, Happy to be an official member of this group. Please anyone in Gatineau? How easy is it to get accommodation there? Airbnb and hotel very expensive in that area and we don't want to stay more than 1 week cos of the cost. Will really appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction. @40manlappy are you still in Gatineau. 2 Likes |

Hello Salford1, I have my PPR approved and Intend to move next year. Am an Engr and I worked with PHCN for 5 years before moving into the telecoms industry. However, I have been doing more of the telecom infrastructure support work. From my research here and on some websites, there has been this picture being painted that things may be better for technicians in Canada than the Engrs. Somebody here mentioned there are many technicians, then technologists who are being supervised by the engineer so more technicians and technologists get employed than Engrs. What is your take on this? Can you share a personal experience salford1: |

Bawss1: It’s not even funny in the toronto. Jan/feb this year, temps went as low as -22. I wonder how those up north Canada survive tbh. Maybe Vancouver wouldn’t be as bad. |

Iyamefa: Please o, do people still have their bath at such low temperatures? Sometime in January, my paddy in Calgary shared a -32 degrees screenshot with me and it literally froze me here in Nigeria. Some people's teeth clatter vigorously during harmattan of 22 degrees here, how much more these numbers that are fit for building igloos. 6 Likes |

Nazor83:I don't know much about the telecoms industry, but I know utility is good especially on the operations and maintenance side of the business. Pursue your PEng first if you have an Engineering degree, that will be your natural path. If you have an Ond/Hnd, or you are thinking of changing career path, then the technician/technologist route is what you should aim for. Some companies not controlled by unions wouldn't also mind filling a technologist position with a candidate having an Engineering degree (added advantage). If you check indeed, such companies would ask for a degree or a diploma in the job posting. (see attached pics below for 2 different postings-elect and civil). Techs and tech positions are often well remunerated too, and it's not uncommon for them to move up to senior leadership. As per techs having more job job openings, It's the way the industry is structured. It's like a pyramid with the engr at the top, the technologist at the middle and the technicians at the base. The pyramid is narrow at the top and wide at the base. As a result, technicians (tradespeople) would be more in demand. Goodluck. 2 Likes 1 Share

Good morning guys... Please I need your advice, which type of job can a physics graduate do in Canada? Is there any professional course I can do to get a good job? I have 3 years of experience in electrical installation, can that be enough for me to get a job in Canada plus my degree in physics? Thanks in advance for your reply |

uchepixy:I just went to the nearest Pharmacy and asked for it, all I needed was my health card (insurance) and it was free. I live in Alberta though, I am not sure if the process is similar in other provinces. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Newmum0615: Yes, they have for kids. I didn't get the shoes sellers number, but if u call Amarachi Winter (I shared his contact earlier) he can take you to the shoe sellers. One of them is 2 shops away from Amarachi and the other is not too far from him either. They're all in a block of shops parallel to the railway tracks but upstairs. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Landed seniors, some help needed. I asked for a car insurance quote and 1 company gave me a quote of $8,000 pa which is just pure madness. How does one go about getting a smaller quote for new immigrants. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TheCongo2: 5:58pm On Nov 18, 2018 |
Inception12: 8000 ? That is way too much unless your car is a rolls royce ![]() Where are you located? Insurance pricing also depends on the location. |
