i wanted to know if the certificate is acceptable in canada.

or which online site can i get certification courses that is recognize in canada

Numerouuuno:


I'm assuming you mean IT courses because you didn't specify.
Udemy courses are good for learning stuffs, the certificate of completion often issued is just celebratory and doesn't mean much at all. I've heard of workplaces that takes such certificates in good light but it's a rare situation. Just learn and build stuffs with the knowledge you gained from the course, you'll present the projects you built to prospective employees as proof of your experience, not the certificate. I'll recommend courses related to Data science, machine learning and blockchain.

Hi Everyone,

I am planning to land in Ottawa with hubby in two weeks time, we are currently looking for a one bed apartment downtown. Please any suggestions on the best way to go about thus. I have checked kijjiji and the rest of them but not yet successful. I don't even mind sharing a house and having a private room for myself and hubby.

Why not check airbnb for a temporary apartment. https://www.airbnb.com

Kijiji is still your best bet. Like someone has said, AirBnB would be better for a start as I would not advise anyone to take a house without first inspecting, especially in the winter.

BORING LANDING GIST


We arrived at the MMIA, Lagos by 11am for a Toronto bound flight via Cairo with departure time of 2.25pm on Sunday 25th November. We had five checked-in baggage and two hand luggage with extra back pack and handbag cos we are family of three (Two adults, one infant). All baggage were for clothes and shoes because we decided to cargo our food items (Two bags, 50kg in total) since paying for extra two baggage will set us back by 110k via Egypt airlines. Looking forward to receiving the food items by next week.

We got to the check-in desk and each of the baggage weighed between 23.6kg to 25.9kg. We didn’t reduce the weight as we were asked to settle them for our bags to pass. All in all, we paid 3.5k to pass the overweight checked-in baggage and cabin luggage. Because of our little baby, we requested for Bassinet and we were provided with one when we boarded. Meanwhile, almost 20 family members and friends followed us to the airport and after checking in, we went outside to take pictures and pray for the journey and new life in Maple land.

I declared all the cash (POF in Pounds sterling and $100 note) I have on me and I wasn’t questioned by any officer, everything went smoothly. When we got to the departure gate, we were told that our flight has not arrived from Egypt and we had to wait for some extra minutes. A flight meant to depart at 2.25pm departed at 3.10pm.

On board, we were served the first meal two hours after departure. We occupied two seats while the third seat was vacant, so we had space to put extra stuff and keep them away from the baby. We arrived Egypt after six hours and it was smooth. Had a stop over of 5 hours and we used that time to pray and relax. Neither free Wi-Fi nor good food was at the airport , we just sat there till it was time to board the Toronto bound flight.

We boarded the Toronto bound flight after passing through the security screening and the aircraft looks nice and clean. Our precious extension cable was collected from us. We were provided with a bassinet to put our baby after take-off but we didn't use it because our baby refuse to sleep in it. We just packed some stuff in it. First meal on board came and it was crap for me, had to just eat the meat and drink some juices. To be honest, the journey to Toronto was awesome (12 hours direct from Cairo) but the food was crap. Our baby didn’t allow my wife to rest because she continued suckling from an hungry mother. In all, we were served two times from Egypt to Canada which I believe was bad cos the distant was just too much. My greatest fear was when we were on Atlantic ocean for more than 4 hours, Canada journey is not easy. It requires prayer and patience you had before you got PPR.

We landed at exactly the scheduled time (7am on Monday), got to the first officer and we told her what we had on us. No dairy and meat. Proceeded to another office who asked us if we are landing today and we confirmed that. Collected our passport, COPR and address to send the PR card and asked us told to sit for a while. I was afraid with so many things going through my mind. At last, he called on us to sign our COPR and we heard the golden word, you are now a PERMANENT RESIDENT.

We proceeded to an immigration service desk where they provided us with info about new immigrants programs and went to Service Canada to get our SIN number. We had to wait for like 10 minutes to get it sorted. We were welcomed to Canada in each desk with lovely smile. We proceeded to get our bags waiting on the carousel. From there, we moved to Customs where we declared our goods accompanying and following. I quoted CAD $5000 as food items am expecting and I was asked to sign the necessary documents. We carried over CAD $10k, we declared everything to the last #500 I had with me. When the custom officer converted #500 to Canadian dollars, she said that’s less than two dollars. He now asked me to tell her what that can buy out of curiosity. I told her that can buy my breakfast from a canteen and I will still have balance in Nigeria. She was surprised and at the end, she welcomed us to Canada again and we proceeded to exit.

I was expecting a friend to come pick me up to my temporary host's house but because I couldn’t get Wi-Fi to connect with, had to borrow phone from a nice lady who without objection gave us her phone to call. She was so nice and even wanted to share her mobile hotspot with us but the connection keeps breaking. We eventually took a taxi home and charged $40.

We couldn’t do anything on first day other than to eat, relax and sleep. We will be going out on Tuesday to get SIM card only cos me and my wife already have good phones that will work anywhere in the world. We will also open our bank and start the job hunting.

I don’t have anywhere in mind to stay permanently for now, getting a job will dictate that. However, I will prefer the Prairie region and the West provinces.
To landed seniors, kindly provide me with what I need to know and do during this first week, it must end in PRAISE.

I am staying temporarily at Etobicoke for maximum of two weeks by God's grace.


Kindly manage my boring story unlike Einsteino, who will hold you spellbound with his gist.

Welcome Welcome. So Egypt air no dey give better food. I hope i can carry snacks on board. It will surely end in praise!

With this your 'boring' story, I wondered, I smiled, I laughed, I prayed, I learnt a lesson... And I was held spellbound...and I also know I will write my own landing gist too.
Congratulations, may the land favour you.

Yes. I uploaded mine. It is ok.

Thank you for the boring gist loool.

Congrats again!

I think I'm liking the idea of just sending food by cargo to save stress. A friend also warned me to not try the overloading on bags route cos with children it can get complicated.

I'm a little curious about why you chose to stay in Ontario if you're still heading to the prairies anyways ( I hope I'm not prying too much).

May the land favour you indeed.

More landing gists pls...

Newmum0615:

okay thanks

toboy:
I use MoneyTangle. Thier service is really really nice and they also offer good exchange rates

Thanks Bro!

melaninpopping:
Your best bet for a good rate 1CAD =280 to 285 NGN right now is to join groups on what's app, telegram etc. of Nigerians currently living in Canada. Many are newcomers to Canada and need CAD and would happily send you NGN when you send them CAD

Thanks for the suggestion!

I was at this location and what I was told was very unbelievable, in short to cargo a load of 50kg it will cost about NGN200,000. I mean thats ridiculous, this is even more than what you'd pay if you were transferring the load as an extra luggage with the airline right ?

Wow, that's a lot.

Let sleep come upon me at this time

Congratulations on your landing and thanks sooooooo much for the gist. I enjoyed it

MummyJaygirls:


There are agents that cargo stuff. It’s usually cheaper from 100kg and above. You can cargo anything except meat and fowl products. If found by CBSA they will trash it

Hi please can you give detailed info about this cargoeing of a thing, surprisingly there is hardly any detailed info for those who have ? Please we need information about how much it cost and the contact of the agency or their name. What are the logistics et all all these will be very much appreciated for those who have succesfully cargoed things.
