titiclassy: You have just made Lufthansa appealing to me with with the luggage allowance thingy but please explain the two boxes to a person thing, does that mean I can have 2 each also for my little kids too even though they are minors (ages 6 and 4 yrs)? |

Elektra008: Children(not infants) are entitled to same luggage allowance as adults on most (if not all) airlines. Usually adults have 2 bags(kg may vary so you have to check that with the airline you intend to use) of checked luggage on long haul flights, therefore children have the same. 5 Likes |

Elektra008: hand luggage- and a back pack ( makes 2 cabin luggage s). So that applies to adults and children but not infant Expo: You can have a diaper bag for infant.. use d biggest diaper bag u find in d stores so u can have some enough hand room . ![]() On some occasions , just before boarding..the airline may allow people to check-in their hand luggage as well..which was my experience. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

mmaryam: Hi, just as @maternal as said you need to be a PR (landed in canada) before you can invite your mum. Another option is for your mum to apply for a tourist visa showing evidence that she'll be sponsoring herself this way you can land together once her visa is granted. You can check this link for more details https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5256-applying-visitor-visa-temporary-resident-visa.html 4 Likes 3 Shares |

jendy36: About the back-end thing, I'd advice you learn both. I'm a PHP guy but had to learn JavaScript because if the front-end. Now, I'm all into ES6, TypeScript, Babel, Webpack etc. I even picked up Vue.js along the way. Then I read a code snippet of a Node.js back-end + Express and discovered that I could understand what was going on. As in, I could read the code, parse it, understand it and follow the program logic. Once I'm done building some sample projects for my Github, I'm going to learn Node. Learning Node now for me is like a 20% job because I already understand JS. Las las, 80% of back-end engineers will learn JavaScript. Learning Node on top of that is just taking it further. 7 Likes |
