titiclassy: Which schools did you consider? I attend a school in Toronto and we do not have. There are also at least 3 other schools in toronto and one in Brampton that I know that do not have. So, I am really curious to learn the schools that you considered and confirmed that has. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hey oohunt, Thank you so much for your robust response; arrival tips and how to be healthy. Very wise words!. I see you're now very much settled down now. Best wishes! I read your response going back to Canada, oh girl, was it a pleasant experience? mine is quite sorted as I booked via emirates (although they've had to move the flight as per Naija's postponement of into flights resumption). I'd just head to Toronto, since i'm isolating. Afterwards, I'd decide on where to move on to next as I navigate the job market --looking for survival and professional jobs. (Please I need tips on this, a lot! man gas wack!) I am right now navigating how to get a negative COVID-19 PCR Test Certificate. (anyone who has undergone this process might please give guidelines on how to get one) I see in the ArriveCAN app, there is an option for "if you're staying with family or friends" --so, that means I could stay with other people in a house, I guess. (?!) My best bet right now is to look for an airbnb to rent out for 14 days or so for the purpose of isolation. I've heard somewhere that some airbnb's don't want to accept people isolating / quarantining, but I gotta keep trying. oohunt: |

The pandemic really messed with people's plans. I had hoped to move beginning of Summer... I will be traveling 9th of September to Toronto, final destination is Waterloo. About the isolation plan, will I be allowed to stay with a friend, and if yes, what are the conditions? Your answers will be highly appreciated 1 Like |

Wait.. Let me be sure that we are referring to the samething, : I am talking of discounted transport ticket purchase. If this is it then I am very very sure Sheridan, Humber, Seneca, Centennial has. If this is different from subsidized bus passed, then pls ignore my comments einsteino: |

titiclassy: Do you mean the TTC discount for post secondary students? Where they pay $120 for monthly pass instead of $150? Schools outside of the GTA/Ontario offer FREE bus passes to post secondary students. 1 Like |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by einsteino(m): 9:50pm On Aug 30, 2020 |
titiclassy: I am sorry, I guess I didn't do a good job at making a distinction between the two. Discounted student passes are not the same as school bus passes. To get an "Adult" student discount, all you need is to be enrolled in a post secondary education recognized by your city's transit commission. This pass is paid for out of pocket by you to the transit commission(not covered for by Tuition). It is not issued by the school and the school is not involved in the application/administration. To get it, every year you'd have to take your school photo id to the transit commission to be registered for a discounted pass. In Toronto, after you are approved by Toronto Transit Commission(TTC), you have to top up your presto card every month with a TTC student pass. The school I currently attend in Toronto and the schools you made mention of do not issue student bus passes. So in Toronto we basically get a $30 TTC student discount that brings the cost down to $120 per month or $1440 per year. On the other hand, schools outside the GTA traditionally offer "free" school bus pass to their students. To put things to perspective, when I was in University of Western Ontario, we got a free bus pass. The pass is issued by the University, you don't top it up. The way it worked was that the Student Council had a collective agreement with London Transit commission(LTC). All students get charged a fraction for this bus pass in their mandatory tuition fees. It didn't matter if you needed it or had a car, the charge is compulsory. Checking my previous Western tuition breakdown, the charge was about $263 per year. If Western had left students to their fate like many schools in the GTA do, Western students would have had to use the LTC adult student discount option instead. This way, Western students would have had to pay $83per month, which comes to about $989 per year. So you see that a discounted student pass is not the same as a school bus pass. 7 Likes |

Yes that's what i meant. Interesting to know that schools offer free transportation. I am not clamouring for Ontario schools, i only wanted to contribute to the discussion and let the concerned people know subsidized transportation for the schools i was considering in GTA SlowlybtSurely: |

Hello House, Please I want to ask if there is any student or graduate here that came into canada for an 1 year PGD program and was able to finish his/her PR process during the 1 year post study work permit. I'm just really curious and bothered. |

Dameelee:Hello, my friend did. She had all the requirements already. She applied for her PR before she graduated and got it before she graduated. She didn’t have to apply for PGWP. Know your options and understand your situation so you won’t get frustrated. You can also consider schools in provinces with flexible nominee programs for international students. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NaijaCanadian28: 2:04am On Sep 01, 2020 |
NairaLuck: So many questions need to answered. How old are you? What is your current CRS without Canadian education. Canadian education is just 15 points. I think it’s risky to put your mind on getting a job immediately and getting the required skilled work experience for CEC with just one year PGWP. I love Canada but skilled jobs don’t come that easy(it may come easy but I’m just trying to be real with you). If you wish to do just one year program, go to a province with flexible nominee programs for international students where you may be asked to only work for 6 months(any skill) and get nominated for PR. Another option is getting another admission for another one year program after you are done with the first one. So instead of getting one year PGWP after graduation, you go to school for another year and get three years PGWP after finishing the second program if you have the resources of course. Ontario doesn’t have nominee programs for international college graduates for now. Do a thorough research and look before you leap. 3 Likes |

Good day all. Please I need some suggestions. Planning our relocation for next March/April. I have a 2016 Toyota Prius with very good mileage. I know most people will sell their cars and buy a new one when they relocate. But I can’t get good value for this car because you know Naija now - if it’s not a “Jeep” it’s not a car. If I am to buy this car in Canada it should be costing like 15k. I am seriously thinking of carrying this vehicle along. Is there any way this can make sense? Has anyone imported a vehicle into Canada and what are the costs? (Clearing, registering etc. Thanks. |
