czaratwork:In addition, this inferiority complex we talk about is not limited to blacks. Asians treat whites differently as well It's one of the damaging effects of colonization. It's going to take some time to heal. 8 Likes |

princfred:You do not even understand what being gay means from your post, or could it be english comprehension? No where did I mentioned in my post that I support LGBTQ. However, if you are homophobic, you would be better off staying in Nigeria. 32 Likes |

LOTRISH45: Well in Manitoba Specifically Winnipeg Life is easy going and people here are very nice they are known as Friendly Manitobans. I came here with my family so I can only relate to people with families, your kids are entitled to child benefits monthly and if you live below certain annual income you are entitled to Rent assist. There are jobs every where here but if you are selective you might have to wait a while. That's the generality of it. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Oh thanks. Please how much do people doing survival jobs earn per hour in winnipeg, and do such survival jobs require any canadian certification before being considered for employment? if you work in a regulated profession, was it difficult getting license to practice, and do you have any idea if Optometry jobs are easy to come by in Winnipeg? ebho: |

toboy: Does your school have practicum after the program? thats one way to get the skills which will get you the job, you can also try Indeed(search for it on Google) |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by toboy: 12:16am On Dec 30, 2018 |
ebho:Yes, My university recently introduces a program like that. But men!! it super competitive with a priority to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. I recently hear of indeed, will try it out. Thank you so much for the suggestion. |

princfred:What I have learned from working in a harm reduction affiliated office. People who do recreational drugs are fine as long as they dont drive or operate machines. At this level, i think its still a matter of personal choice. You know! things you can do to chlil alone, with friends or homies around, or spice up that thing. Hard drugs, one the other, are regulated because they distort mental processes and under the influence of such drugs, people can cause grave harm not only to themselves, but also to those around them. Further, cases of hard drugs and their addiction usually stern from underlying problems such as mental health, physical or psychological trauma, loss of loved ones or an opportunity that make people hopeless and lure people into drugs. This period, I think it has gone beyond an informed personal choice. its more or less an escape from something. What they thought us about harm reduction (which I am still trying to wrap my head around) is that people who are committed to taking drugs for various reason will find ways to do drugs. It might be better off not stigmatizing them into hiding (For instance, by mere telling such people you don't approve their choices will make them keep to themselves.). As such, they will be willing to open up about their underlying problems and get the right help they need. 3 Likes |

Hello Seniors, Please don't skip my questions below. Kindly help abeg. Thank you. Good evening all. @Salford, @TheCongo @maternal @pepe1 @blackbuddy and everyone living in Alberta. Could you please enlighten me on the possibility of getting a good job in Alberta, Fort McMurray, GP and the likes. I would love to work on the oilsand in the laboratory and fields. I have a MSc in Analytical chemistry and would like to continue my career in science. Any prospect in moving to Alberta? Is there any certification or courses I need to take to get my feet on ground. Your kind advise would be appreciated. Thank you all.[/quote] |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 1:48am On Dec 30, 2018 |
Jesusbabie:Do you currently work in an oil related profession, or are there any other reasons why you are restricting yourself to ft mc? I just googled chemist/fort McMurray on indeed, and there were only 2 results. You do not need to restrict yourself to a single location in Canada. You would realize when you land that STEM related jobs are often scattered all over Canada; therefore, your desired job might even be in a different location far from Ft Mc. You need to have an open mind. I do not know if you will be required to take any certification or courses to practice as a Chemist, but you can start check out the link below for Chemist related jobs and career paths in Alta. https://alis.alberta.ca/occinfo/occupations-in-alberta/occupation-profiles/chemist/ 4 Likes |
