[Thank you. No drivers license yet
quote author=bLacKGoLd3 post=98035058]Just look for an Enterprise Rental (or your preferred car rental) closeby and rent a car - shouldn't cost you more than $15 in gas traveling to/fro. If you still insist on traveling by train, locate a GO Station closest to you and take the first leg to Union Station, then ask around for the next GO Train heading out there.

Again, if you have a valid driver's license, I would advise you to drive. And don't rent a BMW, lest you be tempted by the spirits of 401

Please any lady, preferably student who just landed Ontario and doesn’t mind sharing an apartment? Location: Waterloo/Kitchener/Mississauga/Hamilton or anywhere central and affordable.

Hi anybody in Kelowna please?

For rent : 2 private bedrooms in 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom townhouse.
Bedroom 1: $750.00/mo
Bedroom 2: $700.00/mo

Looking for quiet, clean and co-operative female young professionals or grad students to share townhouse. No smoking or loud partying.

·Bedroom 1 is 10’8” by 8’1” with closet space
·Bedroom 2 is 10’5” by 7” with a smaller closet

The rooms are unfurnished but the common areas will be furnished (different from the pictures in the ad). All utilities are included and [outdoor] parking can be rented from the condo for $45 a month.

The rooms are available for a minimum of a 4-6 month lease (short-term) with the option to continue month to month. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood and is walking distance to a strip mall where you can get all the necessities.

Sure, can do here too. Before venturing into IT, Pharmacy has always been what I wanted to do. Been trying to get into U of T for 3 consecutive years till I finally got in the third time.

Why did I go into it? Well, let's just say almost all my work experiences have been in pharmaceuticals and pharmacy related fields, I love the patient centeredness ( very stressful I must confess), the knowledge, would have loved to say the money too but obviously there is more money in IT, but looking at the business side of things as well too, there is a lot of money in Pharma.

Given the IT experience I have had, coupled with the freedom I enjoyed with it ( working remotely), might consider IT related line in Pharmacy at a long run( Pharmacy informatics).

Hope that helps.

Hi
If it won’t be a problem, do you also mind sharing the things you considered that made you switch to pharmacy from IT cause I’ve heard cases of the other way round and this is something I’ll like to learn from. I can send an email if you’ll prefer sharing there.

Hello everyone, I just received my PPR fro student permit, my classes resumes Sept 7 2021, please is it possible for me to land in Canada 5 months earlier. I intend to land in April.

It's always best to arrive at your DLI at most a month to your resumption.
5 months is too far apart and you are most likely to be turned back at the POE {You don't have Enrollment Letter!}.
Try and travel in August {My opinion}

Those points are essential for you. Hypocrite!

Hello seniors,

Please I want you to clear some concerns we have about POF.

We are using a gift deed from my mum plus some money in wifey's account. My mum will send the money to me & do a gift deed for me. Wifey is the PA.

Are we okay if we submit the ffg docs:

1. Gift deed
2. A simple letter (from me) that she has access to the money
3. One week or One month SA from me (accompanying spouse) to reflect the transfer
4. Transfer receipt
5. Wifey's 6 months statement of account
6. Wifey's Bank reference letter

I don't know if I need to get my Bank reference letter too?
How long (2or 3 days ) does the money need to be in my account before I collect my statement of account?

Thanks so much as you assist.

LANDING GIST

Firstly, I want to tell you that I am grateful to God for this journey. It has been His grace and mercy all the way.

Preamble
The decision to relocate was borne out of my frustration about Nigeria, the stress at my work and so many uncertainties. I used to think Naija forever but I just got tired and it all happened very fast.
Took my first IELTS in 2018, had LRWS 7.5, 9, 6.5, 8, started WES evaluation same year. My CRS score was 398 and cut off was around 445 at the time but my IELTS score was low and I did not even have enough money for the POF and other associated costs at that time. So I decided to enrol for OAU's executive MBA while I started putting some money aside in savings (the money was very small anyway, but I was determined). Finished MBA in December of 2019 and started evaluation around February 2020 - was completed in April. My second IELTS was in March, just before the lockdown. My wife (then fiance) also wrote the test on the same day in another city - we had the same scores LRWS 9,9,7.5,7.5 MOD - I used ieltsliz and ieltsonlinetests to prepare.
We had our introduction and court wedding in July when the lockdown was eased and jumped into the pool next day CRS - 482. ITA came and we submitted our application on the 30th of August 2020.
PPR came as a shock - Nov 9 - we found out via webform that our VO was the dreaded Accra.

VFS Drama
Sent passports to Lagos VFS - Nov 11
Passport got to AVO - Nov 24
Approval and counterfoil - Dec 10
Booked flight for Dec 28 LOL. I know
I got VFS notification that our passports got to Lagos - 18 Dec, I paid the ₦11k courier return fee immediately without waiting for their prompting.
I had to reschedule the flight as VFS showed how crazy they are.
Dec 29 - UPS delivered passports

Ready to Go
I and my wife had resigned from our jobs in preparation for our passports and visas to come back from IRCC Ghana through Lagos VFS.
Got to Lagos on Wednesday to complete packing and weighing them. Half of our luggage allowance was food - garri, elubo, poundo, egusi, beans, frozen palm oil, maggi, spices, ground pepper, ground cray fish, golden morn, milo, can't remember if there's more. We took shea butter too for skin, some malaria medications also.
Thursday, we went to buy winter jackets, gloves, head-warmers and thermal wears at Tejuosho, the guy has a page on IG - winternigeria.

D day, Friday, January 01 2021, we woke up pretty early to do a final check on our luggage - all the boxes weighed approx 23kg. Moved to the airport and got there within 20 minutes - thanks to everyone that stayed home to enjoy the new year holiday.
There was a queue at ET's desk. We waited and checked in our boxes after which we went to grab breakfast with our loved ones that came with us to the airport. Took some pictures, hugged everyone and it was time to move to departures at 11 am. Almost all the officers kept wishing us a happy new year while using style to ask for money. Oh, Agric people collected 2k and gave me one quarantine receipt like that because we had foodstuff.
We had a long walk to our boarding gate. That was how the ET staff checking the boarding passes said they had an issue with one of our check-in luggage, something to do with liquid content - I guess they saw the bottles while scanning. My wife met the person in charge and told them it was frozen palm oil and well packed. They threatened to tear the bag to remove the bottles, but they did not after all.
We boarded the plane a few minutes after 1 pm and the plane took off at 1:40 pm, right on time.
Lagos to Addis was cool, we enjoyed the rice and chicken and their snack pack. The in-flight entertainment was okay too. The airport at Addis - oh man - please shoes that you can easily remove (or don't tie your shoe-laces too tight). If you can go beltless too - nice. This is because you'll go through security twice and have to remove your shoes, belt, watches etc. We spent most of the 2 hours layover time passing security and on queue to board the plane to YYZ.
Flight to YYZ was loooonnnnnggggg. We had a 45-min stop at Dublin to refuel. Saw some movies and listened to music for a good part of the time - You can make a playlist of Wizkid, Ycee and Anqelique Kidjo songs. Had some time to sleep too. The flight was long, so time dey. ET provided us with socks, light blanket, toothpaste and brush. I did not enjoy the food on this second flight tho (pasta and something like chicken sauce - I'm a village boy abeg), so I just ate bread and cream and biscuits from their snack box. Had some tea too. Yh, there's red wine also. They gave us 3 forms to fill (customs, COVID 19 information and Quarantine details)
At last anyways, we touched down at Toronto Pearson Airport at 7:10 am and waited for almost an hour before we could disembark. The captain said there was parking spot congestion - something like that.
People rushed off the plane and I was wondering why - we were just doing our 'waka jeje' and taking pictures, apparently there was a long queue at Immigration. As fate would have it, one officer came to break the queue from about two people in front of me and wifey, OMO! I was so happy. That was how we got to be attended to on time before the Usain Bolts. LOL. He asked if it was our first time and also about the kind of house where we would be staying for the 14 days quarantine. Wrote some things on the customs card and directed us to another place for people landing for the first time.
Here, we waited for some time on the queue - they attended to people with kids on time tho. When it got to our turn, the lady asked us if we have any dependants. She asked us to wait and called us after some minutes to sign our COPR and she said: "Congratulations, you're now permanent residents of Canada". She returned a copy of the COPR, got our address and told us that our PR cards would be ready in about 3-4 months (due to COVID situation). She gave us a form to use should we need to change the address for PR card delivery and a flyer on SIN application.
Next was to get our check-in boxes and take pictures then we proceeded to border control where we submitted the customs card. The guy directed us to another place. Because we ticked that we have a fish product (ground cray fish o), the officer opened our GMG bag and I had to explain what palm oil is; what it is used for and what it is made from. She was confused and just decided to leave the matter. LOL. We gave her our list of accompanying goods (2 copies) and goods to follow - I made the list on excel and included estimated values in CAD. They issued us a document that we can present while bringing in the goods so that as not to pay customs duty on them. She walked us to the door, congratulated us again and said "Happy New Year"! - wow! that was the first 'Happy New Year' I heard in Canada. At MMIA, it was all the officers that were greeting us - just so to get a tip.
We waited for about 30 minutes for our ride (family friend to arrive), the cold slapped my face immediately I walked out of the exit doors. Chai! And they said it's not even so cold now.

Day 1 of quarantine was for some WhatsApp calls, MacDonald's and a Chinese meal - because the poundo yam someone ordered for us was cancelled *angry*. We were jet-lagged, so we slept very early and woke up in the midnight - luckily it was right on time for my Nigerian church service, I just joined the New Year thanksgiving service on YouTube.

Yesterday, I optimized my LinkedIn page and did more calls - telling Canny people that I have come o - I need all the connection and advise now.
Stepped into the snow today, chai! Me, a village boy o. LOL
P.S. the pounded yam and egusi soup got delivered last night.

Thank you for reading.

Canny land seniors, I greet una o. Please point me to any group for people in Durham region, Ontario. Thank you

Congratulations. How much did you get the winter jackets?

Everyone take note!!!
There’s a blind bat on this thread that flies from one thread to another to derail the thread.
Don’t give him the needed attention becasue that’s what he feeds on.
He sold his destiny for a sachet of power oil. When he writes, you’d know he has no opinion to share but he is seeking attention.

I refused to quote him because he is not worth my time.

Which one is 401?

One of the highways that connects Toronto to GTA and other major cities

Parents of Ontario secondary students can now apply for a one-time $200 payment per child to help offset education costs during the pandemic.

Premier Doug Ford announced in December that parents of secondary students would be able to apply for the payment between Jan. 11 and Feb. 8.

Parents who want to apply for the payment can do so on the government's Support for Learner's website.

The government said the money will be deposited directly into parents' bank accounts approximately two weeks after their application is approved.

The payment for parents of secondary students will be available for those with children aged 13 through to Grade 12.

The financial support is available regardless of whether students attend a public school, private school or are homeschooled.

Good day friends, I need advice

I am planing to migrate to Canada. Since I needed a guide, I met someone ( an agent) who was recommended to me by a good friend of mine. My firiend is processing his visit to the UK with this agent too.

When I met him for the easiest and quickest way for me, he advise me to go through work - since I am a graduate and a sound tradesman in industrial electrical work.

He said the work package is geniune, that it was the Canadian government who made it available for people with good skills to move to Canada.

I do not know how true this is. And I would like to verify his words here so that I do not end up being deceived or cajoled into spending so much and at the end there was nothing like that.

Please how true is this Canadian work package ?
