Hi everyone, It been a while. I landed in April and it has been a rollercoaster settling down with my family. We have finally settled in Winnipeg. Please I want to connect with people here in Winnipeg/Manitoba. Is there a whatsapp group? 12 Likes |

Good evening house, please I need your input. My husband is reluctant to get started. Can I be the principal applicant ? I have a B.Sc in Computer science but never worked as a Computer scientist. Worked in Customer service and Banking (Loan recovery ) for 2 years and 2 and half years respectively. I have worked as a cook in my food business for 6 years since I resigned at my bank job. Will I stand a chance ? My husband on the other hand is the Country Program Manager at a Solar energy company, he studied Statistics. We both have B Sc only. I just want to get started, I'm tired of taking in all the information without getting anything done as I have relied on my husband to do stuff. What's the first step to take, please ? I'd also appreciate any help.Thank you all. 2 Likes |

Ladykeigh: https://www.nairaland.com/5187408/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled Click on the link above, that's the thread you should be on, you'll get all the information you need there. Also you haven't given enough information for anyone to give you proper advice E.g do you have any other degrees/certificates apart from your Bsc, what's your husband's highest degree, how old are you and your husband, what's his work experience. The question plenty Just play with this CRS tool below and simulate your scores then come over to the other thread and someone will be able to point you in the right direction http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp?_ga=2.141128822.555779551.1530002975-1561889732.1516351987 6 Likes |

Just a few words of advice/encouragement as you conclude plans to land especially with regards to work settlement. 1. If you decide to continue in your current line of profession& there is a certification for it,please DO IT especially if it can be done from Nigeria. E.g PMP, do it from Naija, Bankers with branch/RM experience, do the CSC exam from naija if possible worse case, plan to take it immediately upon arrival,it goes a loooooong way to help. 2. Search for career events®ister if its few weeks to your arrival. 3. If you decide to change your career upon arrival & you haven't started say taking exams etc before arrival, remember you don't expect to be on the same terrain or have the same audience from recruiters here as the person who has started. 4. If you a RM in a Naija bank, remember to change that title to Banking Advisor here because that's what it's called. It soo helps 5. For anyone planning to be a Business Analyst & you have never been one, decide which type of BA (Iat, Operations, Strategy) you want to be,take free courses online to understand the lingo+CBAP 6. Head of Operations/HOP/HSS, pls note you can't be those roles in Canada because it doesn't work like that. What of thinking along the line of Internal Control,Audit,Risk, AML etc?? Just saying! 7. YOU CAN GET A JOB THAT PAYS SAME OR MORE THAN YOU ARE EARNING IN NIGERIA. JUST COMEFULLY ARMED& PREPARED!! Am sure we have heard most of these things before, however a lot of newly landed still fall into these categories & it hurts gannnn.. #wetheNorth! God bless! 63 Likes 28 Shares |

dimaxy:There are a lot of jobs for people in medical micro biology in Manitoba but u will need certification or u can take some courses too. For microbiology in general, it depends on what area you are looking at. Take for instance food microbiology. If u already have experience in food, you can easily continue in this line without immediate taking some courses. However, you will earn more with medical microbiology than working in a food lab but I believe both pay above minimum wage. So I will advise that you determine what area you will like to continue in, go on indeed and check the job requirements and salaries, then you will know whether you need certification, courses or u can easily just continue when you land. 8 Likes 1 Share |
