Very detailed points here i must say. Now for someone like myself(Techno-Functional consultant) in the ERP implementation space (SAP, oracle) , any advice that will be of help to me, considering i'm heading to ottawa. I have researched and confirmed availability of jobs in my specialty in Ottawa. canadaman18: 1 Like |

Good day all, Is there anyone here who can answer this question for me? So my friend got admitted into a university in Canada and is processing her student visa. To my question,her kids are in her application but they have American passports and she didn’t bother including them in her visa application. Will this be an issue for her? Seeing as they have their American passports? Will there be any issue at Nigeria’s immigration or Canada immigration? Thank you! |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Ramj: 11:39am On Mar 05, 2019 |
majjj: She needs to include then in her application since she is applying for a Student visa and would be in Canada for more than a year, US Visa holders cant stay in the US indefinitely (they like all visitors can stay for up to six months). She must include then or else they can only enter for a while and leave. Also they wont have access to any benefit she might be able to enjoy. She would pay for everything for her children Being American does not grant you limitless access to Canada. Je m'appelle DoTheRightThing 6 Likes |

Ramj: Ramj:thank you for your response. The kids are American Citizens,not USA visa holders. Does that make it better? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by jmnsimone(f): 1:16pm On Mar 05, 2019 |
US citizens do not have the right to live/reside in Canada without a visa, they can only visit and stay for a maximum of 6 months at a stretch. Please note that during this time, the kids may not be able to go to school or access free health care and other government benefits. If your friend's plan is for her kids to visit from time to time then they don't need to be added to her application but if she's planning to move with them, they'll need visas majjj: 5 Likes |

jmnsimone: I really appreciate all the responses. Thank you. So what is the way forward now? She has already put in an application for her students visa. Does she do a separate one for her kids or can she do that when she gets to canada with them? I appreciate your answers to my plenty questions. |

majjj: Ask your friend to amend the current application and include her kids. Let her refill the necessary forms to capture their details and resubmit with a letter of explanation that due to her better understanding of the application process now, she wishes to include her kids who will be accompanying her for the duration of her studies. Wishing her the best. 3 Likes |

ottawasenators: Hi there , I dont have any specific advice per say . I know Ottawa is also a good spot for IT jobs, so just look at Glassdoor and try to apply to as many jobs as possible. Job search is most times a numbers game. One thing I'll say is to consider the government , they typically pay a little less than private sector but you'll have lots of time off , the work is not as demanding(which for some people might be a negative) and you have unrivaled job security. Most times government jobs are not posted on job sites like Glassdoor so you might have to do some extra searching to find them 2 Likes 1 Share |

Greatkhad: Python is a good start for people from a non technical background. My only problem with it is a lot of stuff is done for you with the easy-to-use syntax so you might end up not truly understanding what's happening under the hood. I use Java day to day atm but Ive worked with many others including Python 6 Likes |

19CannyMum:Anything is possible. It all depends on your situation. 1. You can use the authentic Nigerian license for 90 days. You do not necessarily need to have an international driving license as the Nigerian license is in English, but I would advice that you have it as well. 2. You can take the theory test immediately and when you pass you can get the class 7. You then need to hand in your Nigerian license for checks. This is where it is tricky because during the time when the license is being checked, you will only have the class 7 learners permit. You are not allowed to drive without a fully licensed person in the car on a class 7. I believe it takes a couple of weeks to verify the Nigerian drivers license but I may be wrong. Read this: https://www.alberta.ca/assets/documents/drivers-licence-gdl-exemption.pdf 3. When the Nigeria license is approved you can then take the class 5 basic or class 5 advanced. Note that this depends entirely on the driving record that is transferred from Nigeria. If you have more than 2 years of Nigerian driving experience then you can take the class 5 advanced. When you pass the road test then you get a class 5 license. I am not sure this process can be finished in a month ( because of the time for verifying the Nigerian license). Also note that you cannot drive legally once you hand in the license for verification, so please plan for a period where you will have only a class 7. Hope this helps. Note that I am not an expert in this field. Try and do some more research. You can start here https://www.alberta.ca/exchange-non-alberta-licences.aspx 17 Likes 16 Shares |

canadaman18:You are right, but python is the language of the future altho you might not be a good programmer if you learn to programme with Python. What I have done is to switch totally to Python with my data science and AI projects but I run my Data Structures and algorithm course with JAVA. That way I am not loosing out on the nitty gritty behind the hood. Take for example there is a pop method in Python, something that you have to code a stack to get in JAVA. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by canadaman18: 2:50am On Mar 06, 2019 |
Guitarlife: Python is a language for the future for sure and very nice with Data science . I personally have used both but was just saying it’s nice to learn with Java Also i’m not sure if I understand what you mean by coding the stack? Java has a stack class which has the pop method. Unless you are simply saying that in python no extra work is required to instantiate a stack unlike Java Apologies if i misunderstood you |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Nobody: 2:57am On Mar 06, 2019 |
canadaman18: @bolded Yup thats what I meant. Its just so difficult to assume that JAVA will go out anytime soon. |

Aka2003: Thank you very much. Very clear explanation. So the gist I'm getting is that during that period I'm on class 7, I can use my international drivers permit to drive unaccompanied. However I saw on Albertas website that one has to submit ALL prior licences including the international permit. Will do some more research today. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
