coconuthead: To have an idea about rent, check kijiji. I just saw a 3 bedroom apartment in Halifax advertised for $550. This is very cheap. Not sure if this appartement is been rented only for the summer. https://www.kijiji.ca/v-apartments-condos/city-of-halifax/3-bedroom-apartment-for-rent-furnished-summer-sublet-near-dal/1420829223?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true As for Health care, it is the same across Canada. You can always join the city data forum to meet people who live in Halifax and tell them about your plan to move to their city. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Good day people. So for people that never got a driver's license in Nigeria, what is the procedure like to start driving in Canada? Should I just go ahead and get one done since I am landing in May? Will I be able to just take the driving test and how soon Will it be possible to start driving? I am looking to getting a car in winter. Thank you 5 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by TheCongo2: 3:07pm On Mar 17, 2019 |
Mimi1999: Each province in Canada has its own rules and regulations when it comes to getting a driver license. Maybe you should start by telling the forum where in Canada are you planning to live. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello people...anybody know the cash limit for Ethiopia airline?heard today bout it been 3k USD, as in one shuldnt carry more than that..would b travelling next week .Pls anyone landed recently with Ethiopian airline? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Numerouuuno: 9:53pm On Mar 17, 2019 |
neni83: I don't think there's such a restriction on any airline, besides you're not entering Ethiopia and won't be dealing with their customs per se, you're only transiting. I have friends that used the airline and didn't have such issues. You only have to declare funds over 10K usd for most countries you'll be entering. 3 Likes |

Hi, I just thought to chip in a little info from what I've gathered so far about Halifax. I'm not in Canada yet but public transport system is great as long as you have your bus pass. Health care is like every other places in Canada Crime rates .. I can't say much about this . And I know there are Nigerians out there in Halifax. They have meetings monthly or so . Check " Nigerians in Halifax" on YouTube . And apartment depends on what you are looking for, as in your taste... But budget $600 for a 2 bed but mind you, it won't be anything fancy. To know more about the city, you will find lots of videos on YouTube(Even for apartments) Sorry but I hope this helps... Good luck to you . coconuthead: 10 Likes 1 Share |

neni83: Numerouuuno: its been on the radio recently, that those transiting Ethiopia or whose final destination is Ethiopia, have to declare their cash exceeding USD 3000. check here https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/01/12/coming-to-ethiopia-you-must-declare-currency-above-3000/ 3 Likes 1 Share |

Superb15: The link you posted still shows that passengers travelling to canada don't need to declare since the transit time is actually less than 3 hours. Infact i can't remember meeting Ethiopian customs when i flew through there.

Fadia: For Ontario. As a new driver without a Nigerian license or experience, you would have to start from scratch. Get your G1 first then proceed to G2. You can attend a driving school to get classroom and on-the-road training which gives you the chance to take your G2 test after 8 months (tip: attending a government recognized driving school can reduce your insurance quotes) . If you choose not to attend a driving school, the earliest you can take the G2 test is a year after the G1. If you’re interested in getting a car, you cannot drive with G1, most insurance companies won’t even sell insurance with G1 (there are always exceptions) but you would have to get the G2 before you can drive. 12 Likes 16 Shares |

Thank you for this. Please how about the international driver's license, is it possible to use that for a while before getting the G1? Someone told me about it but I want to make sure I got the correct information. Iyamefa: |
