Good evening everyone,I need to travel to Nigeria and I haven't gotten my pr card. Is it possible I have my card sent via courier by someone or I should apply for prtd when I get to Nigeria. I need ideas from people that have gone through the same experience. Thanks

Thanks so much for this ... it's because he got a job there, so thinking of moving there from Calgary

Why fort mac?
Fortunately the cost of living has greatly reduced aftee the downturn and the fire incident. Despite that, Fort mc is still not doing bad. It's a good city and there are lots of Nigerians with family currently living in the city.

I don't know much about business ideas but to kill boredome is not hard. Just like you, I am a Lagosian. I was born and bred in Lagos, Mushin to be precise.

- First thing will be to get involved in the community via volunteering. Volunteering is part of life in Canada and a good way to meet good people. The importance of volunteerism will be emphasized at your oath ceremony on becoming a Canadian.

- Get involveed in community sports for kids. You will get to meet other parents through that means.

- Go on a road trip to Banff and Jasper atleast once a year. If you are more adventurous, you can extend the road trip to BC.

- Visit Drumheller to check out fossils.

-Join parapos - members usually have events like naming ceremony, house warming, birthday parties etc lined up for the year.

- Get involved in church or mosque activities. Take the kids to playground. You will meets other parents here too.

- Get involved in social clubs at work.

^^^^^^Those are the ways I have been able to overcome boredom. I have visiting Quebec and Ontario with the family on my bucket list for next year.

Please how long does it take to verify Police report in Canada?

Thanks

Thank you. I figured it out already. Cheers

2. All major cities has a shop (Nigeria/Ghanian) that sew native.

3. I can answer any other Ottawa questions.

Beauideal:

Please I need advise about living in Fort Mc Murray with hubby. Do you think it's a nice city to start a family and also being someone who has lived in Lagos all her life, how can one kill boredom, what business ideas also as I heard it's a small city.

1. Horrible city to start a family with. A lot of drugs and native Canadians on drugs.

2. Only way to kill boredom is to be working or leave the town for Edmonton or Calgary on your off days.

Lol, i dont know if I am .. I grew up in a home in an inter tribal home and dad would not let mum speak her language and he did not speak his as well, as kids it was just English .. so when I was offered the course in uni (because I really wanted to study le loi) I grabbed it with all I had .. so basically I can speak just English and French and un peu de deutsche ....

Some people are linguistically gifted. I guess you are one of them.
By the way, how many languages do you speak?

A company needed advertised 15 positions with the same job description and person specification. I fit into all these positions and I want to apply.

Can I use the same CV and Cover letter for the positions because they are all the same, only the locations where the post holder is needed is different

Hi, i suggest you take advantage of newcomers/career services in your city/province. There are tons of them these days and you may be able to get help tailored to your situation. There are lots of conflicting information on what recruiters look for so you may as well get help from experienced/professionals.

Please i'll appreciate if you can share the link for their account numbers? I cant seem to find it on their website. Thanks.

Newmum0615:
Nope. Their account numbers are listed on their website. I did a transfer to one of them and they sent my ticket via my registrated email. It's a simple process.

Hi,
You cannot send via courier (it wont get out of Canada as scanners will pick it and seize). You can get someone who is coming home to physically bring for you (someone from church brought mine).Nigerians are always willing to help with that and someone always comes home somehow within the month. If it doesn't come on time then PRTD will take u back home.

@salford1 omo mushin!!!!

My PR card took a long time to be processed and when it was ready I requested the person whose address I used to send via Courier and I received it without stress.

Since you are still in CA call CIC and ask for the status of the card ie if processing has commenced. If processing has commenced, it would take about 2 weeks to get to you going by my experience. Most times the delay may come from your passport photo being ineligible but they would not notify you.

You don't need the PRTD except you are returning to CA and do not have your card.

Welcome to Canada my brother
Here are 2 options for you.
You can take a greyhound bus to St. Catherines. It will take you 2 hours to get there by bus.
Or, I can take you to St. Catherines (free of charge). But I live in London. It will take me 2.5 hours to get to get to you in Etobicoke. Can you reschedule your St. Catherine's appointment?

Please what is the fastest way get to Kitchener from Toronto's Pearson Airport. With the cold, I am not even considering the rail service and I am not sure a pre booked cab will want to be kept waiting when I cannot determine the exact time I would exit the airport.

Thank you all for your respective useful contribution on this forum. I'm new here
Please I need your advice on this: I'm a Nigerian. I have my Bsc in engineering. I have 3 years of work experience in construction and fabrication industry but have been laid off for one year and six months now as my job position became redundant . I have been doing Plumbing work since after my secondary school education and even now that I don't have a job.
So I want to migrate to Canada through express entry as a plumber. My question is thus: how do I convince Canadian embassy that I'm a professional Plumber where as I don't have any certification or license to back it up as there is no really government agency that regulate artisans in Nigeria to issue license if one meet certain requirements. please my good people advice me on how to go about this.
Thank you in anticipation for your prompt response

Since you are an engineer with 3yrs plus experience... you can easily migrate under express entry program as a federal skilled worker using your degree provided you have MSC to buffer your CRS score. when you get to Canada and you still want to work as a plumber which i doubt, you can get certified there.

Yes, you will. The prices are fair but the quality may not be as good as the Yaba ones. If you want, I can give you a contact. The jackets and parka we got from Yaba are serving us well.

Anyone in Edmonton who can help me check a house, please? Edakun

That would not fly. I believe there is a technical body that regulates artisans professionals in Nigeria. Google NABTEB or City and Guilds.

@salford1 omo mushin!!!!

Mushin... I wonder what it is like living there now. Lots of gangs back then. I clearly remember the Akala boys, oju irin boys, idi oro boys etc. They must all have been absorbed into various cult groups that are now tools in the hands of politicians.

Edited: it hasn't changed a bit,
