Mulatta:canada immigration does not work that way. At 21 i doubt you have 3 years experience, masters or bsc plus a diploma. Nobody can help you unless you qualify. Read up on the process as shared by richdee above and work towards meeting the requirements. 4 Likes |

Hey Brother, I believe you have a ton of experience from schooling and working in Canada. I know the conversations here seemed to have taken off on the wrong foot, but I imagine you have a wealth of experience you were looking to share when you started engagements on this thread. As we move into a new calendar year, please let's allow bygones to be bygones. There are lots of folks who would benefit from your undergrad experience in Canada, professional insight into the IT industry, or even general life in BC. No pressure whatsoever - take your time. I would be looking forward to reading your insightful expose on Life as a Canadian Immigrant; your pitfalls, your wins, and what you would do differently. Cheers! Happy 2021!!! AnthonyAk: 14 Likes |

If you were paid for the job and if the job was in a qualifying NOC - You can count it as part of your 3 years experience. Has to be NOC A, B, 0. Click here to search the NOC list. ps: Plumbing is NOC B and can be used. Danny6552: |

wizzzz: Would not worry about expediting your PR card you don't need it for much. Your COPR would substitute. Most banks would waive fees for about a year for new immigrants People say RBC may be best for new immigrants. You may want to call the customer care and ask what is currently on offer at a couple of the banks before deciding. Don't shy away from Credit cards if offered, particularly from the banks take the highest limit you are offered. It would help to build your credit. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

WeAreDLucky1s:by soft skills you mean verbal, communication and interpersonal skills?? Or maybe I don't get the soft skills you meant. Please don't mind me, just trying to be clear. The soft skills I know are creativity, persuasion, adaptability and anyone can have these skills. I think you're referring mostly to the ICT skills which are hard skills |

@ wearedlucky1s: Thanks so much for this explanation. I also soo needed it . I will most likely be landing at 33 35 weeks. I am traveling mid February and Baby comes around mid March Going to Winnipeg. The 14 days quarantine is it compulsory we rent an Apartment or can we stay at our family place during that period . Also any Manitobian Winnipegers here . Can I contact hospitals or doctors online while on two weeks quarantine. Wld I get the health card at least within that two weeks cause once quarantine is over I need to be secured Doctors appointment the time is soo soo close . |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by WeAreDLucky1s: 1:45am On Jan 02, 2021 |
omidan21: It's my delight to have been of help. Firstly, as regards the bolded text, biko check with your desired airline. 1. As regards quarantine, no you dont have to rent right away, however your host cannot live together with you in the same apartment/rooms during the 14day period, most especially if they will be going out and coming in daily. The essence of the seclusion is so that new arrivals do not spread it if they are infected, and to be sure they are truly clean if they are not infected. If you must stay with your host, then they have to have a form of arrangements that will ensure they do not come in physical contact with you all through the period which somehow is almost impossible if you all stay in same apartment. Your best bet? Get an AirBnb for that period and then move out at the expiration of the 2weeks rent to your family location. 2. Well, there are a couple of them here, I cannot remember any from the top of my head now, I would have helped you to tag them, however, I am sure they will come around or you may choose to ask location specific questions and, surely, dem go answer you. 3. Yes, Yes, and Yes! In fact there are couple of medical facilities and options that can even include some level of remote consultation and medical aid, we even get some even for naija self. You can start to look out for midwives/medic support now self even while you are still here, due to your current status. Please start ASAP, also as regards insurance, I do not know for certain how it works in Manitoba/Winnipeg, but you can research that and probably ask any Manitobian as you call dem.lol 4. Well, as in #3 above, I don't know firsthand how it works in Manitoba but I strongly doubt you will get the health card within that short period. Also, you are not allowed to go out nah. But, you can be sure you go get medical support after your 14day quarantine - surely! The worst case is they will consider you as a walk-in patient - for this, you may have to pay, usually from 5k CAD and above with natural birth. It will be more with any complications or CS. Please do not try to consider this option since proper planning can get you free healthcare if you do everything on time. Also, please go along with your medical reports from the doctors visit/prenatal you did or have done in naija, because that also can decide how your case will be treated. Don't wait o, biko start now, you can get lucky that you go even register from here self and know/choose the hospital or midwife self...never say never. Congratulations on your PPR and cheers to your new life. Wishing you safe trip, landing and delivery. I hope this is helpful and I'll like to thank you for reading. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Please I need some help from anyone who is coming to Ontario, Canada in the coming weeks this January. Someone in my immediate family has a common medical condition that requires a medication, which is not accessible over the shelves here, and we have not been able to get the doctors to prescribe the particular medication during visits to the hospitals, as that is not the standard practice here. Please I need the help of someone who can buy the medication from any credible pharmacy in Nigeria and bring it down on his/her trip. The medication we came with is exhausted. All expenses will be taken care of. Please reach me on WhatsApp on +1 437-225-6640 Thanks 1 Like 1 Share |

Hi! Been in Canada for some days now. Please does anyone know how someone in Canada can receive money from Nigeria. My family has been trying to send money but to no avail. I heard Cbn cancelled sending money from Nigeria to foreign countries thus I can't use Western Union. Pls help a sister. Thanks |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NaijaCanadian28: 7:43pm On Jan 02, 2021 |
BabyCanada: Reach out to Panfol investment inc in Etobicoke. It’s a registered company owned by a Nigerian and this is what they deal with- receiving and sending money to Nigeria. We use them for all our transactions and their rates are good. 7 Likes 5 Shares

Hi,you can also download telus health app and have a virtual appointment with a doctor that can give you referrals if need be or provide the prescription you need to get the medication in Canada. nonen: 1 Like 3 Shares |

nonen: If I understand you correctly, the particular medication is available in Canada and you have been to the doctor’s office, but the doctors are refusing to prescribe the particular medication. If this is the case, I will tell you what I have done in the past for a family member who was visiting me in Canada and needed doctor’s prescription for the same medication they were taking in Nigeria. What we did was to get his doctor in Nigeria email a prescription to him for the medication. The actual prescription from Nigeria was written on the official letterhead of the hospital in Nigeria and sent as an attachment to the email. We then went to a walk-in clinic with the prescription and explained to the doctor that he ran out of the medication (which was true) and that we needed a refill. The Canadian doctor took the Nigerian doctor’s prescription from us and issued us a new prescription for exactly the same medication. This happened in St.Catharines Ontario when I was living there. I don’t know where in Canada your live, but I see no reason why the approach should not work in any city or province in Canada. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Cherrymia: Hi Cherrymia, Thanks for your thoughts. Seeing the doctor is not the problem, but getting them to give you a specific prescription that works for you is the problem. I’ve got someone to help though |
