Bible1997:I seriously doubt that is genuine. Biometrics are actually required to process your application and you don't go for biometrics when you get to Canada. |

peejayT:Sorry I missed this. Been away from nairaland for a while Lifestyle and spending are really good. Everything will be totally different for anyone coming from Naija. The system works and it's easier to make plans. |

donoz: 1. Flight ticket was around 2.9m for 3 of us. 2. My employer wasn't going to pay for my accommodation, no agreement of such so it was all paid by me. They helped with securing the apartment though. 3. I doubt jobs are readily available anywhere. My spouse isn't working at this moment sef. It all depends on your industry and experience. But I don't expect it to be as rigorous as what we have in Naija but it's also not on a platter of gold. 4. Of course if eligible and does makes immigration sense. This depends on the PR route too. 1 Like |

Been a while here We have moved since second week of August. The week leading to our departure was very stressful. Buying and packing was not fun. We had foodstuffs weighing up to 65k , and infant luggage over 40kg We had booked business class on Ethiopian Airlines so the luggage size was not a problem and really glad we did. Please if it's not too much for you, book business class for long distance travels, it's worth it. It's cheaper on airlines like Ethiopian compare to Qatar, Emirates, Lufthansa etc. Our flight was quite long, over 30hrs to get to our final destination as we had layover in Ethiopia, then refuelling in Dublin and another layover in Toronto. Immigration was smooth at Toronto, there's a priority line for families. The immigration officer only asked for my work offer letter, correspondence letter (LOI) and passport. He collected only passports from my partner and baby. We waited for about 20mins and I heard him making calls talking about the dried fish in one of my checked in bag I was calm since I already declared it in arriveCan and it was not over the limit. He called us later with no mention of the fish and gave me a printed work permit, my partner's work permit and my baby's visit permit. He explained some things in the letter to us and that was it. Left there and went to pick our bags. Getting to our final destination/province, I had people from my office(including the CEO) already waiting for us. My baby's stroller/car seat was missing and I complained at the airport office, they gave us a brand new one and said there was a mixup and we will get it later in the week (which we did) and we can keep the new one too. Already booked an Airbnb for all of August and got an apartment for September while in Nigeria, so accommodation was sorted. It has been really good here. Registered for our SIN and opened a bank account in the first week. People here are very very nice. It's the nicest I have ever seen. I have read and seen oyinbo people can be "snubbish" and they like their own space but people here have been good. I am much more happy for my baby. My baby has been the biggest winner in all of this. We received tons of gifts and deals for things. We are already eligible for PR through PNP and might pursue this soonest. Although, we could apply for PR right from Nigeria via the job offer but it could take up to two years and the company decided against it. It's been over a month now and things have been alright, coping with the weather and making sense of the culture. Everything here is different but we are getting up to speed gradually. I will answer any questions regarding this movement and others that I can answer to the best of my ability. Thank you Forgive typos 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Johnson808:I doubt. For my industry, it's much more than that. I have also noticed most express entry process requires at least a year experience and the more the better. What you can do is look for job descriptions for your role and see the requirements. indeed and the Canada job bank is a good place to start |

adeolabilkis002:I don't think my CV is Canadian styled I have been using the CV for over 3years with simple modifications over time. I think it's because of the industry I am. Vanhack is free, they offer premium services but I didn't go for it. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Bubugirl:It depends on the immigration program. You can be in the pool and apply for work permit. I believe LMIA is just an approval from Canada for your employer to hire you. |

solosamste: This seems like a scam as a lot of things doesn't add up. I have also heard similar case and trajectory as yours from someone on here. First, do you have an LMIA given to you? Did the agent tell you if he/she has applied? |

wolske: You can book an appointment with either IOM or Qlife and go for the medicals. You will tell them it's upfront and will be given a slip when you are done. This slip is what you upload with your application. |

Homoshalewa:That's a long time to still not receive it. Although I heard sending to Lagos takes way more time when compared to Abuja, maybe the Lagos delay is what's at play. Have you tried tracking it on vfs website using your tracking number? Does it relay same message? I learnt the Lagos submission route is DHL==> Lagos ==> Abuja ==> Lagos ==> DHL |

Homoshalewa:Did you send your passport to Lagos or Abuja? Besides, I believe passports submitted in Lagos still get sent to Abuja for processing. This message here means they are done processing your passport and it's ready to be returned to you. If you use a two way courier, you can try tracking online or other available ways. 1 Like |
