Adunnee: Schools open around 8am and close latest by 3pm. In some provinces like where I am school starts when a child is 5 years old. So your 4 year old will have to go to a day care which usually closes in the evening. You cant just drop the kids off and leave them at school till evening. You will have to get a before and after school program that can cover that. In Canada you cant leave children under 12 years old unsupervised. 8 Likes 4 Shares |

bily: Yesso. Its been an extremely cold weekend in Montreal, coupled with the snow storm today. It was -35°c on Saturday, and that's when hubby and I went to do our grocery shopping (without a car), it was crazy. I can officially say I can live in the coldest temperatures. And the snow storm today was up to 30cm. Still below - 30°c and its going to be like this all week. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by vcole: 7:57am On Jan 21, 2019 |
5 year old - kindergarten. Usually 2 days a week (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) and alternate Fridays for 3hrs a day- you decide between morning (8:30-11:30) or afternoon (12:30-3:30). Times may differ slightly per city, province, private vs public but generally the schedule would look as above. 4yr old can attend preschool if you want, usually 3 days a week for 3 hrs a day option of morning or afternoon as above. Before and after school care would cover for hours before school and after up until 5 or 6pm dependent on your provider. You can also opt not to place your 4yr old in preschool and go with a daycare or dayhome. Hours are usually 7am-5pm with slight differences based on your provider. HR - I believe the CPHR qualification is what is preferred on this side of the pond Adunnee: 5 Likes 8 Shares |

A lot of people carry their money in cash and open accounts when they land. However if you choose to use the bank approach: 1. You already have a Canadian bank account. a. Use your Nigerian domiciliary account to transfer. You will get the Swift code for your Canadian bank together with the bank code and your account number and give to your Nigerian bank to use and effect an FX wire/funds transfer for you from your Nigerian dom account to your Canadian account (here). b. Use international money transfer bodies to transfer from your regular Nigerian account to your Canadian account. 2. You don't have a Canadian bank account. I think RBC (Royal bank of Canada) is the only bank with which a non-yet-landed permanent resident can completely open an account from abroad. With some of the other banks, you can start the opening remotely but will need to land to complete the opening. For RBC, go to their site (here) and contact them. They will explain you the process to transfer your money. However, I believe you only be able to access your money when you land. Modified: NBC (National bank of Canada) also opens bank accounts for newcomers before landing. Check here oluphilip2008: 36 Likes 29 Shares |

blessings2017:Hello, I am an in house legal practitioner and I am planning on coming to write the NCA exams in May. I just read from your response that the exams can be written in other jurisdictions so, does it mean I will be referred to these places other than Canada? I am also planning to go to the embassy next month for the visa to enable me write the exams and so what's the implication of doing so, if there are other centers apart from Canada? Thanks while awaiting your response 1 Like 1 Share |
