3. Which province would be the best for us to settle in based on job opportunities and cost of living

lewoxxy:

Jermaineayo:
Hello all, please I want to make a humble request for the list of things I'll need to come with when traveling to Canada.

A link or someone willing to help me draft one will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Aside foodstuff, winter jacket(from yaba), sweaters, aboniki, if you are a lady and you like braids, you can come with few attachments,crotchets etc.. pls bring your fine clothes, don’t dash them out. Bring your fine shoes too. I’m not sure if you will find winter boots in Yaba but you can get affordable ones in Walmart when you get here. For the foodstuff, take note of the ones you can’t travel with so you won’t waste money. The winter jacket you will get in Yaba might not be sufficient when you get here , if you are on a tight budget, you can get winter jacket from Walmart and with time, you can get better ones. I’m not sure of your gender so I don’t know the stores to recommend.All the best, May the land favour you.

Jermaineayo:
Thank you so much.
I'm a guy by the way,
I just received my PPR for a study permit.

I sincerely appreciate your response.

All these what are my chances questions are not needed here. Make your research as there are a lot of information online already . No one can tell you what your chances are as we dont know you capabilities, abilities. If you want to migrate please do, but have it at the back of your mind you might do something unrelated to your career to pay the bills in the initial stages which is not new. No one can tell you your chances. Its 50: 50. You may land and get a dream job in week, you may also land and get it 1 or 2 years later. The popular Tunde tash once worked in a sausage factory as a student in canada now works for one of the biggest bank in Canada . Someone up there is talking down customer service jobs.

I came as a student too in 2015. What school will you be attending?

1. You don't need to change the name on your passport

Kekereekun123:
bLacKGoLd3 most of the jackets at yaba are not canada grade. Mostly uk and china they cant do jack here. Best to buy a minus 30 one here.

bLacKGoLd3:
1. Money
Don't stress yourself, just bring USD. I repeat, don't bother yourself looking for CAD, because your USD will happily be converted at the bank for CAD. The rates would be mostly equivalent to a CAD/NGN conversion or even slightly better.

2. Running shoes (a.k.a trainers, in naija parlance)
You will appreciate the utility of these shoes in Canada because they can be worn all year round. Don't waste your luggage space bringing all those fancy UK shoes we wear back home. You will not have the opportunity to rock them. If you're like me, I know you will not hear word, but you can come back to this post and laugh at yourself in the future. And, oh, nobody will buy your UK-styled shoes on Kijiji - Canadians are not fashionable people. A word they say is enough for the wise!

3. Timberland boots (winter gear)
These boots with 400g of insulation will save you from losing your toes to frostbite and though it looks somewhat fancy (wheat-colored or butters, in naija parlance), it is surprisingly low maintenance boots. Yes, we wore them for fashion back in the 90's, so if you don't mind the weight or you've lived in NY for too long, you sure can wear them all year round.

4. Ori (a.k.a shea butter)
Wipe that smirk off your face because this will save you unnecessary appointments with dermatologists when winter comes calling. See, if you're coming from Naija, just buy a good portion because all that your fancy lotion or cream will not find expression before Canada's merciless winter.

5. Jeans
You can see I mentioned Jeans, not all that plenty and somewhat needless number of clothes we accumulate while living in Naija. Again, this is all you will need in and out of every season in Canada. Don't waste your luggage space bringing all that your fancifully sewn natives and UK-styled clothes - Canada/Canadians don't care and neither does the weather! We don't attend weddings every Saturday here like is the norm in Naija, so those clothes may end up with moldy odor from sitting in your suitcase all year long. I know you will sha not listen!


I typically never advise people to invest in winter gears from Naija, but here's a small guide to help you understand what to look for if you plan to get something temporary from the popular Yaba market;

a. Synthetic Insulation - a jacket with 200g insulation is going to be thicker and warmer than a comparable jacket with 100g insulation. As a rule of thumb, 50-100g jackets are great for spring or fall while 100-200g jackets are ideal for more frigid conditions. This also applies to gloves and boots too.

b. Down Insulation - the 'fill power' is an indicator of the quality of down; the higher the number, the more volume a given weight of down will occupy. 800-900 fill down is considered premium insulation with that desirable cloud-like feel, while down in the 500-600 range will require more down (making them feel heavier and bulkier) to achieve the same level of warmth. You will mostly find this quality in the Canada Goose line or in the upper range of The NorthFace line.


All the very best!

I suggest you raise a webform now or email and mention that she is due shortly. They will extend the request date and then baby can be added to your application.

For me, I had an international trip so needed my passport. I got one month extension with no issues.

You can buy a jogging stroller. A jogging stroller is usually the best for snow.
