Thanks so very much @salford. I really appreciate your response. God bless you. I will make my mind open and make a decision on this. I can as well function well on other areas like manufacturing and any other field also, at least to pay my bills and also build a career in Canada. If Construction seems to be tough to get, I will try explore other areas as available also.
God bless you my Oga

Ethiopian Airline Flight ET910 wasn't Bad at all.
In flight entertainment was ok, though did really pay attention to it. Plane was maybe 40-50 filled. Plenty empty seats..

Do I just use the monthly statements I have been receiving via email or request for one that spans across d months? Does it need to be signed like we do in Nigeria? How many months statement would be appropriate? Thank u.

Hello landed seniors! I have decided to carry myself enter here officially while waiting for COPR. My PPR story has been shared on the sister thread. Una Weldone here oh.

Please I need help from our experienced seniors here. I am a construction project manager with civil engineering background and about ten years experience in the construction industry. Before now, I have been doing some research on the best province for me to land with my Nurse Spouse. Came up with Vancouver BC and Calgary, Alberta as preferred places. But decided to chose Calgary because I read from some sites that Vancouver and BC is generally expensive and tough to survive.
I was chatting with a friend who currently lives in Ottawa Ontario yesterday and he was kinda discouraging me from going to Calgary but rather come join him in Ottawa. He mentioned reasons like fluctuation in oil whic I turn affect the entire Alberta economy, scanty communities which prevents one from mixing up, inability to easily get support from people as most calgarians are ‘mind ur business kinda people’ and all that. The truth is that apart from the fact that I personally don’t like to live in a place that is too busy like Lagos, I also don’t seem to believe there are construction opportunities from what I have seen so far in Ottawa as compared to Calgary, I may be wrong oh. But then, experienced people should please help me.

So I have brought this here for my ogas to help me chuck mouth and advice me oh before I go jogodo for Cannyland.

All what my friend was telling me was that I can easily get casual jobs almost immediately as I land and start looking for better job once I get settled.

Your suggestions and advise would be very appreciated.
@salford, @maternal, @joo2018, @einsteino and all the Oga patapatas, Biko make una helep me oh

Those methods mentioned work fine. There is one others I have tried, which you may also find helpful.

There are FX dealers on Nigerian group whatsapp and here on Nairaland who may be able to offer you CAD in exchange for Naira. They deposit CAD into your Canadian account, while you in turn deposit Naira into their Nigerian account. It can be very effective and usually happens relatively faster than international wire. However, it's important you deal with someone trustworthy here. Usually, there are friends who can refer you to someone they've had dealings with who is trustworthy.

Boss13:


Don’t do this. Don’t take the risk. Get your funds from financial institutions. There are lots of yahoo boys and girls posing as FX dealers. Ignore any referrals as the source of the funds may be bad. I’m confidently telling you this because of the industry I work.

You are right before they label someone terrorist. Actually there is a story about this somewhere on nairaland I think. I can't recall the details anymore but the family used a BDC and were arrested at POE for laundering money for terrorists or something along that line. Their case is still in court in Canada.

As expected I missed my connecting flight to Calgary. We were re-booked FoC. Though some of our bags were over the allowable weight, ET allowed us to pass and AC did not even re-weigh them.

Still at Pearson awaiting flight to Calgary.

Seeing/touching Canadian Dollar for the first time.
