Stop misleading people. Have been staying in the NE for almost 3 years. Rented in Skyview for 2 years and recently bought our own house in Cornerstone. If you mentioned specific areas in northeast with high crime rates, I might be able to clarify more. But don't include areas in the NE like Skyview, Cornerstone, Savannah, Redstone, Cityscape and Livingston in your myopic generalization. quote author=Onlineise post=87216103] 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.[/quote] 3 Likes 4 Shares |

Edoblakky: I dey fear downtown. The other day someone got slapped on the train. Just like that, he was talking to his friend and the guy seated across from him just slapped his mouth. Also saw a video recently of a lady pushing an elderly woman off the platform, unto the tracks. Since then I always stand well in the middle of the platform when downtown. The worse the reputation of NE is, the cheaper rents get. So no wahala. |

salford1: That Taracove area looks very quiet and calm and the houses are fine. Martindale is okay nowadays, but they say Saddletowne is having a gang problem. Some areas of falconridge are not fine at all and they don't look good on the crime map. The good thing about NE is if living there, the only thing that might carry you to other quadrants is work or to visit friends. Everything is there, and public transport is very accessible. The bad thing is that the schools rank poorly on that index (I forget the name). I hear Marlborough WalMart is the busiest in Canada. |

19CannyMum:I go to downtown regularly and it's not that dangerous during the day but at night, be wary of lone walkers. Some of them are lunatics. Even a Nigerian lady was killed last year watching over a lunatic. I wonder why they don't restrict their lunatics. |

edababa007: My problem with those areas is that living there is just like living in the deep SE or SW. Everything is far compared to if you're living in say Taradale or Monterey Park. But I like the area because of the new houses lol. And please allow people to keep generalizing those areas as NE and unsafe, so that we will be able to afford house there when we're ready. |

Edoblakky: These two gists I shared were during the day o, I don't see what will make me walk alone downtown when it's dark. It's the opium problem. And the safe injection site downtown has concentrated the number of crackheads in one area. 1 Like |

I was so glad to read that you and your family made it here. I pray the land is more than you could have wished for. I have been around but not as active anymore. Right now, I work fulltime and school fulltime at the same time(I don't know how I am coping sef). it is a high pressure life and something just had to give. Hafsat24: 3 Likes |

Hafsat24: lol @ the bolded. so true, over here every second matters. for school and work, the first step is to choose the job wisely(assuming you aren't already locked down). Some jobs would just not work with school, no matter what. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Torapcan(m): 6:25am On Mar 08, 2020 |
There is a logic behind crime-rate concentration and locations in Calgary. As much as possible, exercise caution at locations near Ctrain stations...North or South. author=edababa007 post=87243322]Stop misleading people. Have been staying in the NE for almost 3 years.

Good day people, I'm new here just wondering whether it is true that there's now a ban on food items coming into Canada from passengers effective March 1? Before person go lose food stuff. Thanks |

Onlineise: Haba! That's an unfair exaggeration. These places are not as bad as that. I lived in forest lawn for 2 years and never experienced any incident. If you maintain your lane, you will not have anything to worry about. |

Sarang: IRCC designed Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) for this kind of situation . Google it and you’ll see all the requirements, the main one is the Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR) of your e-APR(electronic Application for PR) 2 Likes 2 Shares |

canadaman18: Yea but in this case, my nomination was closed to one employment so I can’t apply for a bridging open work permit now |
