jjohndoe83:1) Write NCA 2) Article 3) Get called to the bar. Before doing the NCA, you can get jobs as a Legal assistant in a variety of firms. In Ottawa, the pay ranges from 36k to about 55k-60k. Also, being called to the bar in Ontario means you can only practise in Ontario and not Canada wise so those who are married should take their spouses into consideration before picking a place to settle. 5 Likes 5 Shares |

My Landing Story We left for Calgary through Ethiopian Airlines on Monday the 28th of January. I had shipped our foodstuff on Saturday through the SAHCOL contact that was shared on this thread, it cost N110k for 93kg - my food stuff and bag was about 45kg, their extra packaging increased the total weight to 93 kg. We got to the airport in good time, it was rowdy as ever and we finally weighed our 5 checked in luggage (they let even the 24kg bags pass) and we passed through immigrations easily because my 23 month old was just smiling at everyone we met. We boarded the aircraft and to my disappointment, it was full. We got to Addis, Dublin and finally Toronto. Overall, I did not enjoy the flights because I had an almost 2 year old (he clocked 2 on the 1st of Feb) strapped to us all the time. My husband and I took turns carrying him. Although he slept all through the journey, he was uncomfortable as well. We were seated at the window and middle seats so it was not easy to use the loo every now and then. I had my own battle too, morning sickness. All these did not allow me to enjoy the in-flight entertainment to the fullest. The food…I did not understand it…lol. We got to Toronto at 7:30am but were trapped in the aircraft for over an hour because there was no parking space for our aircraft. It snowed heavily the day before so it disrupted their activities. When we eventually got out, we proceeded to immigration and funnily they asked me to show our pof. I think the officer wanted to be sure we still had our funds as we got our COPR since June 2018, I don’t know. Thankfully few days before we left, someone advised on this thread that we should have proof of our pof if we do not have all the funds upon landing. I requested for an e-copy of my January statement after reading that post. The statement from my phone and the $7,700 USD cash we had on us was what we showed the officer and we were fine. After immigration, service Canada and newcomer center was a breeze. We finished at 11 am and were so sure we would get a connecting flight to Calgary. We picked our luggage and went to Air Canada and they asked us to go to Ethiopian Airlines to reschedule us when we got there, they said the bad weather had affected flights and the next flight to Calgary was at 9 pm. Hmmm, we asked them to put us on that flight. I reached out to our Airbnb host and told her we might get home at 1 am and she said that was okay. We found a spot to sit and wait for our 9 pm flight. I pitied my boy but he was holding strong. I almost ran out of food for him. He slept, played etc. So my husband went to check in our bags and he met a good Samaritan who agreed to put us on standby for the 4 pm flight to Calgary, just in case someone doesn’t show up or something. We eventually got on that now 5pm flight and we were just grateful. However, the flight departed late and we still got to Calgary at 12:30 am. We hired a taxi at the airport for about $50 to our Airbnb apartment and just slept off hungry and tired at about 1:30 am. Later that day, we went to the core shopping mall, we googled for nearby malls, we got our phone lines, met a nice Nigerian who agreed to babysit our son the next day so we could get stuff done. So far we have met VERY NICE Nigerians, unfortunately, none of them is on this Nairaland thread because I always ask them if they were..lol. We have not done much because of the weather and our very active toddler and my health but we have established networks that could help us get things done easily. We went to RCCG City of David NE on Sunday and met wonderful people who have volunteered to help us get an apartment. We have also met with a settlement counselor at immigrant services who I now consider a friend. We have been blessed with good people since we came. Our cargo got to Calgary 3 days after we landed and we cleared it with customs (the guy drilled me sha) I filled my goods to follow form at the spot as I hadn’t filled it earlier. When we eventually got our goods we saw they tore our hard earned N2k Ghana-must-go (bagco) bags beyond repair all in the name my “searching”…lol. We paid a terminal fee of $94, my palm oil was still intact, thank God. Our priority now, apart from completing our heath card registration and child benefits application and other paperwork for newly landed immigrants, is to get a daycare for our toddler, get a job for hubby and I and to get an apartment of course. So far we have got our phone lines, opened our accounts and applied for GST. It has been really expensive commuting by Uber as we are yet to get our bus pass. All that will be sorted this week though. We are optimistic that everything will fall in place one step at a time, with God. 145 Likes 18 Shares |

Really? Why? My SIL used a midwife for her two kids and didn't have issues. Also the midwifery is attached to a hospital close by and if the delivery escalates beyond their control you are taken to the hospital. Canadachi: 1 Like 1 Share |

chizilulu:Just wondering, would it not have been cheaper to buy those stuff in Canada? cost of shipping is almost C$400 + C$94 + cost of buying the foodstuff. That's over $600, that will buy you a lot of foodstuff in Canada, I believe. 26 Likes 1 Share |
