omotola90:I will pass on the ICAN/Accounting question - not my field or line of expertise. As per the 3.5m question, 3.5m definitely won't be enough for a masters program plus living expenses except your masters is fully paid for. 3.5m plus student job should be able to cover living expenses, feeding and rent for a one year program. You may get more answers on the masters question if you also post your question on the student visa thread. |

omotola90: I don't really know about the monetary aspect of your question but i would suggest you start the ACCA conversion and then complete it. With ICAN, you have to start CPA from scratch while ACCA, it's just tax and IT something that you can do at your leisure. Consider it because CPA will pay you very well in Canada. 3 Likes |

Good morning Everyone, please I have a question. I plan to land in Calgary, Alberta and I noticed alot of people would rather stay in SW and NW than in SE and NE. Please seniors, what are your thoughts and advice on this ? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Onlineise(m): 2:12pm On Mar 06, 2020 |
ladystone: Stay away from NE, to put it in 9ja way for you, my wife once drove to Surulere to make her hair, parked her car outside, came back and two side mirrors were gone...if you can relate to that then you relate to NE. SW-NW-SE in that order. 23 Likes 19 Shares |

Please, who lives in Vancouver or Ottawa? I need information on monthly expense for a family of 4 renting a 2 brm and driving 2 cars. What is the minimum salary to live a comfortable life? I am landing in Regina and I am doing just 6 months there. |

travelinfo:Student visa related questions are best answered on the thread below. https://www.nairaland.com/5233221/canadian-student-visa-thread-part They regularly have discussions on affordable schools/provinces. There would also be more knowledge being shared on what province has a PNP favourable to students. I know Manitoba and Sask have excellent PNP programs for students but not necessarily the most affordable schools. The eastern provinces would have more affordable school fees, but I can't tell if they have similar or even better PNP programs for international grad students. 1 Like |

ladystone: Calgary's crimemap: https://data.calgary.ca/Health-and-Safety/Community-Crime-and-Disorder-Map/hhjd-wzc2 Note that there are areas in the SW, NW and NE with more crime than some areas in the NE. And downtown is the least safe part of the city. Most of the people singing NE is not safe can't list more than 5 communities in the NE. They're just repeating what they heard others saying. 7 Likes 6 Shares |

Hafsat24: Thank you Hafsat for sharing. Indeed it's those who you know nothing about that help you out. I don't know why it's like that. Someone on the other group give me details on how to process letter from FRSC, picked it up for me, brought it to Canada. I was busy thinking when I have time I'll pick it up. Only for him come to my city few weeks after he arrived Canada for interview and he brought my letter for me. Thank you all for being helpers. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Onlineise: I lived in NE for 2yrs plus, if the poster stays away from Malborough, Franklin and sunridge and stays in somewhere like Skyview Ranch, Taradale, Saddletowne I don't see anything bad in NE... 9ja people were fond of badmouthing NE. I worked nights and walked home from the train station at 2am and nothing happened to me while i lived there, i moved out in 2019 after getting married. Poster just do your findings and avoid the aforementioned areas 11 Likes 12 Shares |

jesusbaby01: True alot of bad stories about the NE but alot of people I know live there and no issues. Ultimately I guess it's different experiences for everyone. I wish I lived there though . Almost everything is there plus I work there. Woulda made my commute easier |

19CannyMum:Thanks for this information. I've been living in Calgary for about 5 years now and the most dangerous place I know of is downtown and crimes are not as rampant as experienced in many American cities. The NE houses the airport and many establishments. What people say about the NE are mostly heresay. I know many people living in the NE and I don't know any with a terrible experience. Last winter, a car was stolen opposite my house in NW because the owner didn't have a remote starter and had to manually turn on her car but before the car warmed up, a thief drove it off 2 Likes 3 Shares |
