Hey guys, I put together a video that you might find beneficial. I did a comparison of 3 major cities in Ontario Canada, based on 10 economic different factors. I hope this helps to guide you when choosing where to live in Canada. Please share. 19 Likes 7 Shares |

adesbaba:I can't tell how easy it is in Calgary. Vacancies would surely exist for financial/retail banking roles, but getting the job would be subject to beating the competition like everywhere else. 1 Like |

Hello everyone, Please with this whole economic instability at the moment, what's your advice concerning where and how to keep POF. Considering the fact that the Naira is unstable at the moment and might get worse. And for exchange rates, is it the one used at submission or the current exchange rates that agents use to evaluate POF? 1 Like |

salford1:And the competition in the labour market is about to increase. The Covid pandemic is wreaking havoc-there are massive lay-offs currently going on in all industries. My company is even about to start their own and I am not even sure if I will have a job in the next few days/weeks. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by salford1: 4:38pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
RuudVanNisteroy:You are right. The situation is still very fluid. No one knows if they would have a job next week or the week(s) after, or even the month(s) after. |

salford1:But isn't the CEWS suppose to cushion this problem? |

Oga Salford1 and other elders, please I need recommendations on cities or towns that are within 50 minutes drive from the GTA. I am looking for somewhere not too crowded (Very important, I’m not a fan of big cities. ![]() 1 Like |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by salford1: 8:41pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
COPR2020:Yes it will. It is a step in the right direction. It will help companies with operating costs that are majorly employees wages atleast for an extra 4month and help get some laid off employees off the CERB. Air Canada and Air transat are calling back their employees as a result of the subsidy. However, it still might not help some other companies facing severe loss of income and still have other overhead costs and the remaining 25% to cover, since the max on CEWS is 847 per week. Some provinces have also started easing the restrictions. |

salford1: T[color=#006600][/color]hanks for this info oga Salford, you mean he did not go for the 6 months classroom training and another 6 month industry training before he got the 3rd class cert? Also a power engineer certificate acquired in one province, can it be used in another province. Because most adverts always say the cert must be recognized by that particular province |

keleto:Yes. He got credit for his stream time using his naija experience, and he got credit for the (classroom) using his academic qualification from naija. I wish I remember his user name on here. He was also on my phone contacts list before I changed my phone and number. The last time we communicated was about 2 years ago when he sent me a whassap about his job offer at Imperial oil refinery, just outside Edmonton. It is transferable between TSASK and ABSA. I can't tell for other provinces though. You may want to research on that. When I initially moved to Sask, my housemate (a Pakistani) worked at an ethanol plant not far from Regina, he takes his exams with ABSA (SAIT online correspondence), then would transfer to TSASK. I never bothered to ask him why he does that. 2 Likes 1 Share |
