I'm sorry to come in via your discussion. I am not very familiar with nairaland usage. Please is there a WhatsApp group for those preparing to move to Canada? I'm in a sort of confused state so I really need some assistance. quote author=fratermathy post=96055206] You should also edit the number from your mention. [/quote] |

Please is there a WhatsApp group were people can easily communicate and share happenings in the application process? I am kind of in a confusing state while filling the CRS application. When I check if I am eligible, it says yes but when I fill I don't get a score and it doesn't show me the score either, rather it just says I'm ineligible and no longer in the pool. Could be I'm not filling the form correctly, please I need some assistance adewumz: 1 Like |

Lived in Winnipeg for a few years now. Only 1 of my car has winter tyres. The 1 I drive is all seasons and I haven't had any issues so far. I have driven thru crazy snowstorms even last year's Colorado low and it was ok. Even with Winter tyres you need to drive to the road condition. I am not saying you shouldn't get it though, I am just speaking from my personal experience. Genevach: 1 Like |

maternal: lol baba ehn. This whole thing reminds me of a convo I had with someone. The dude is a truck driver, he makes about $9k to $12k per month. When he asked me how much an entry level - intermediate level Engineer can expect to make, na stammer I take reply am lol. Last last, people wey dey naija go understand and evolve when them land here. People do professional jobs here for passion or what fits their needs, not because it fetches one more money or any respect. Nobody send you and your job for Canada. Inshort your neighbour likely no go know your name after a year of you living there, let alone care about your job. 34 Likes 3 Shares |

Good People, Honest question, please: what do you guys think of healthcare in this our Canada o? I can't believe the only time I can see a doctor ASAP is in the case of an emergency. Or go to a walk-in clinic! So much for free health care o! Do you guys have a way around this or I just have to wait noni? Ẹ dákun. Are there like private clinics? My health insurance in the US is very good and I don't have to wait to see a doctor. I am not feeling this gbogbogbo healthcare o. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by maternal: 1:36am On Nov 16, 2020 |
godG: You can't just see a doctor anytime you want in the US. What are you the president? You have to book an appointment. And if an appointment isn't booked, you have to go into the ER or walk in clinic. And you have to make sure the hospital/doctor is within your network, and your insurance will even cover the procedure, after you pay your deductible. To answer your question, there's no nonsense private clinics here, where the rich can get care, while the poor die. Go to the hospital and they'll assess you. If its serious they'll see you asap. If its not serious (I doubt it is since you're on this message board) then you'll have to wait. The medical system will not allow someone to die, while you get care because you have money. The seriousness of your illness determines how fast you get care, not money. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

einsteino: Hahaha. I knew of a city bus driver that was pulling close to 14k per month with overtime. Yes a bus driver. Everybody minds their business and nobody cares who you are or what you do. As long as it's nothing illegal and you don't disturb them. I don't even know any of my neighbors names, nor do I care too. 12 Likes |

maternal: Thanks for answering. Funny thing is that the infection wey wan make me go see doctor don dey go. Thinking about it now, I think I must have taken my visits to my doctor in the US for granted. This is probably my own culture shock. 9 Likes |

godG:just go to emergency na |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by maternal: 5:07am On Nov 16, 2020 |
godG: Np. This is Canada. Its not a perfect country but they try hard to treat everyone equally. I've been in the emergency room, waiting to get looked at, with members of parliament, at one point, and the mayor of the city. I can remember a drug addiction getting seen first because he was overdosing on drugs. So really who are you ? The doctors mandate is to save lives according to the urgency. If you want to be a big boy and feel you should move ahead of the line because of your gold plated insurance, go back to the states. Or if you feel you're above people with less money go back to naija. That doesn't fly here. 5 Likes |

Kekereekun123: Thanks, baba mi. I would have done that. But I just felt the infection shouldn't warrant going to ER at a time of COVID-19 ni. That was why I asked if there are private clinics. I had no clue about healthcare in Canada. Let's stay safe out there, people. 5 Likes |

maternal: The luxurious condos that some Bus drivers live in Toronto is simply unaffordable to most people. A bus driver with a city transit is likely to gross more than many professionals can dream of. Moreso, I dare say they even get more respect than most. Aside Doctors and Nurses, I don't know of other professional that gets a warm "thank you" as often as Bus drivers. I think the problem is that people in Nigeria make the mistake of conceptualizing life in Canada with their Nigerian experience. They will be very surprised how different the value system and life here is. I just thought of it, I actually do not know what the neigbours in the house next to mine look like lol. Sure I have seen them a couple times and know their race but their face did not stick, let alone did I care to say hi or notice what they do for a living or drive. 6 Likes |
