Hi Guys
If you a single man migrating to Winnipeg, Manitoba and you fall into the underlisted categories, please contact me. I can assist with initial settling down and a lot of information while we share my apartment.
CATEGORIES:
 A single man moving with the plan of getting married here or returning to Nigeria to bring his babe.
 A married man moving alone while the family joins later.
 You don’t have a friend/family to stay with for initial landing (Note, please take advantage of staying briefly with these guys if you have, it will save you some bucks as well).
 You are migrating as a student or a Permanent Resident
What’s in it for you?
 You can avoid initial hotel/Airbnb expenses
 You save yourself the stress of looking for an apartment and the background credit check process
 You have a direct source of information based on experience
 You can start saving costs immediately (Believe me, there are some expenses a new immigrant incur that you will realize you could have done it at 50% cheaper down the line)
 You can also save yourself the stress of getting furniture and basic homeware till you are married or ready to move to another apartment.

What’s in it for me?
 I get to share my rent expense with you
 I get a neighbour to share ideas with

PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS POST IF EVEN IF YOU FALL INTO THE CATEGORIES AND YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN IN YOUR HEART THAT YOU ARE NOT EAST GOING AND ARE NOT READY TO FOCUS ON THE GOOD REASONS WHY YOU ARE MIGRATING TO CANADA

I might be wrong, but I would advise you move from the known to the unknown..a few questions though

- where do you intend to land.
-are your a full PPR or provincial nomination.
-do you have certification for audit or risk
management that you can use here e.g CIA,
CPA..what certification do you have ...
- are you landing worth family..

Your answers to these questions will properly guide me on how exactly to respond... Cheers

An entry point into IT for non IT auditors is typically the GRC space (Governance, Risk and Compliance), a subset of Cybersecurity.

One pathway:
Start in the audit area you are experienced in (financial, operational, etc), public firm (big 4 preferably; helps you stand out; facilitates entry to industry) or industry (multinational preferably; more likely to have IT auditors; more scope for getting where you want, great for your resume).

Get CISA, CISM done. AddIng in CISSP will help you go far in GRC and Cybersecurity.

Build rapport and credibility within your team, with your team lead, with the IT area. In other words, do a crazy good job at everything and do it with courtesy, professionalism, diplomacy and a good attitude. Take on any available IT aspects of your audit scope, which will be basic but nevertheless help you build knowledge and start building skill set. Introduce yourself to the CIO and CISO. Do a great job whenever you interface with them. However, respect the org structure. Don’t go over your own boss’ head or behind his/her back. Don’t let your boss hear from the CIO about your career goals. Also, don’t start talking about your gray eagerness to switch teams from day one. Your boss hired you for his / her team. Build credibility first, and your boss will support you, because if you go far, they will also look good.

As you do your job, look for opportunities to either do secondments in IT/ GRC, or with the IT auditors, or put forward that kind of suggestion to your team. If you can make an internal move, that will likely be an easier entree than applying externally.

Keep talking about your goals and the exams you’ve passed, so that the right people know (remember, you do the talking at the right time, to the right people). Keep doing a great job on your projects and most of all, keep being a great person to work with. You don’t have to be a super skilled, highly experienced IT auditor to start in the GRC space especially since there’ll be an expectation that you’ll be learning constantly in IT anyway. However, if you don’t work well with people, you’ll make it very hard for anyone to take a chance on you and give you that first break.

Do a good job, keep pushing and your dream job will find you.

All the best.

LANDING GIST

I flew EgytAir and got to the airport by 10am for a 12:45pm flight. I had just a check-in bag and one backpack.
I had cereal and coco balls in the check-in bag to keep me for the 3days should incase I couldn't find nice food. I emptied it into ziplock nylon and had no issues.

Check in was fast. As usual, I was asked for tips, I told them I had already changed my money. Well I only travelled with 500CAD which I changed at the Airport. I had my debit cards handy though. On the final flight to Toronto, we were giving a declaration form on the flight. If you have more than 10k CAD, please declare it, if you can at all the airports, Nigeria inclusive (better be safe than sorry o)

I landed 7:00am, less immigration queue. I met with the CBSA or na CSBA officer, he asked

1. if my family composition had changed (since I applied as a single immigrant) and

2.If I had any conviction Upon landing. (The playful me almost said yes just to make him laugh since he was looking too serious but thank GOD my village people didn't succeed)

He signed my COPR and I reminded him the need to welcome me to Canada . Welcome to Canada, he said smiling.

In Toronto, CBSA share the same partition with Service Canada, less than 1mins walk. I had to wait a bit for them to be ready to attend to us since we came earlier than resumption time I presume. We were giving a small form to fill and in no time, SIN was issued. Agent Lee (an Asian attended to me). Very firm yet shared some good information. The need to layer up clothes, how I need to get on Indeed, LinkedIn etc to start networking.

The next and final check was when I was about exiting the airport. I presume this is where you will need to present your *Goods to follow list*. They may also decide to open and check your luggage. Mine wasn't checked. I used my friend's address in Manitoba, she recieved my PR in 15days and dispatched using DHL to Nigeria which I got 4days after. Custom opened it to confirm the content perhaps Canada Custom or the US.

My phone wouldn't load Uber, thank goodness, a friend in the US whom I was able to call with WhatsApp using the Airport Wifi ordered Uber for me also controlled the driver to my terminal (GOD bless him for me).

I stayed in an Airbnb for the 3days. I landed 7:00am on Friday and left for Nigeria 2:00pm on Monday.

GOD bless Canada and Nigeria
