oseoji: @ oseoji: Everything you said here is so on point. I shake my head when I hear people say that the system here is set up to destroy the family. As far as I am concerned, the system is fair, and it is set up to protect everybody irrespective of your gender (male or female). All you need to do is to know the system; do the right things and your family will be intact. Apart from the potential death of the person being abused (even in situations where the abuse is not physical), what many people fail to understand is the extent of other damages caused by such abuse (physical, psychological, emotional etc.) on the person being abused, the children and the society. The kids see everything going on and they in turn may become abuser or they feel it is okay to be abused in a relationship. You end up bringing up kids that become abusers and bully people at school or they keep quiet when being abused or bullied at school because they think it is okay to be abused. Even if the person being abused refuses to call the police, the neighbors may notice that something is wrong and call the police. When you take your kids to see the doctor, or you take them to the hospital, they always ask them if they feel safe at home or if they are being abused at home. Be rest assured that if the kids do not feel safe at home they will say so and you can expect a child protection agent and or police knocking on your door if it is as a result of being abused at home. So, as you can see no matter how much you try to hide the abuse, it will eventually become open. The only solution is NO ABUSE, and everybody will be happy. Finally, I repeat, if anybody is being abused in their relationship report the abuse to the police or talk to a lawyer. To the abuser, please STOP IT before you destroy yourself with a criminal record and inability to get a job in Canada (see my earlier comments below about this). Think about this before you start abusing somebody (or before committing any type of crime) and claiming the system is set up to destroy you. The system is not destroying you. You are the one destroying yourself. SixSigma1: 26 Likes 5 Shares |

legionISproteus:Please stop blaming the system. No system made them fail, their nasty behaviour did. I’ve spent more than 5 years in Canada and know people who have spend longer time here and are still married. All they want is to treat others the way you will treat yourself.

Please guys, do not let your guard down here. I know crime and fraud is low here but things dey happen for this Canada. Someone I know got defrauded while attempting to rent a house in Toronto. A lady posed as a landlord, even had fake mortgage documents for the house and canadian passport. Took my friend on tour round the house. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, so my friend paid the lady $2000(as first and last month's rent) via interac. A day before my friend was to move in, this lady tells her that there has been some complications. That the existing tenant isn't willing to leave any more, so she plans on taking them to the landlord-tenant board. She then promises my friend that she would refund her the money spent on booking Uhaul and put her in airbnb for 10 days at her own expense, while she sorts out eviction of the tenant. The next day, my friend called her but the line was dead. My friend then visits the house, and met an old man there. She told the man that she was there to check out the apartment she rented. The man told her that he owns the house and the girl is actually just living in his house. He went on to say that the girl was recently arrested by the police for rent fraud and she is to leave his house soon. At that point my friend says she was in rage.. Anyways she asked the man to shut the door behind her, while she confronted the girl. The girl admitted to the crime and says she was in need of money. That all the documents my friend earlier sighted was fake, including documents from BMO and those supposedly from her lawyer. The lady had no remorse, only instructed my friend not to call the police because she wasn't ready to go back to them. Thankfully, my friend called the police and insisted that she must get her money. At that point, the lady's boyfriend got involved. He refunded my friend just before the cops showed up. They got away just as the cops were showing up. The cops were like same house, same girl. Turns out the girl had even made it to the news, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N9-eoxSvCA 25 Likes 7 Shares |

Kvdag:Hi, Things do not go the way we plan sometimes but i am glad you are still grateful for where you are. I believe you should look at the skills you already have and probably you should think about what you will like to go into. Whatever career you choose will determine what pathway you will take, whether its going to be university or professional certificate. I know i might not have helped much but God has a plan for everyone. 1 Like 1 Share |

Kvdag: Let me begin by saying; I hear you. If your don't mind, what discipline is your bachelors? I completely agree on not rushing to do a Masters degree. In Nigeria, having a master's degree is seen as some sort of achievement and the way to go. However, that is not the case in Canada - unless your career is such that requires it for growth. Education asides, what is/are your interest(s)? Have you considered having a career in Trades or Nursing or some other profession that may not be 'fly' but income and sustainability is guaranteed? If your motivation towards getting a Masters degree is personal gratification, then by all means do so. However, if your motivation is having a sustainable career where you can earn a good income, then it's time to be practical. So far, my professional journey in Canada has taken a path that I never imagined. My present industry is a complete opposite of my intended industry when I landed, but truth be told I am happy where I am and financially content. 6 Likes |

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I do appreciate. I know God has a plan for me but still I need to do my part. I'm just trying to avoid mistakes that will cost me time and money but guess I have to look out for skills I have already as you mentioned and try to figure out my next plans. Winterpeg: |

Thank you so much. I have a bachelor's degree in applied business computing. My motivation is building and having a sustainable career. I want to be financially stable as well so I don't mind any advice on a professional career to pursue. I came here seeking information from people like you that have been there, experienced it, and being successful in what you do. I don't think nursing is for me. I have no clue about trading either. I will appreciate if you can shed more light on your professional journey here in Canada. I'm sorry if I'm asking too much though, I don't want to make a mistake that will cost me time and money again. I've had sleepiness night to save some money and I needed to invest it wisely on a rewarding career. I've thought about CAPM or PMP certificate in project management, but I need to gather the right information. Praia: 1 Like |
