We all wanted to go the open university route, unilag hrdc came up at some point, we deliberated about CIMA and how it might fly but we dint have success stories to back this up, ACCA FIA to the rescue for @smslive2 (very resourceful sombori), we all dived in (but this dint go well for all of us who did. some were flashed with one-semester others got 3yrs evaluation outcome), BTEC & QUALIFI came up too, a lot of others opted for this, BCS too...and finally CIMA seemed to be the easiest route to go as of now. Thank you for reading (if you actually read o) ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png)

Personally, i would advise you stay in Calgary... The 18k might look big but its not really worth the move. There is nothing as good as having family and friends around to help you integrate well in Canada.phemocheee: Good morning folks. Please I have a good problem and I'm losing sleep over it already.
I'm currently in Calgary, staying with my cousin for about 2 months now. Just recently, I got a job here in Calgary and I'm expected to resume tomorrow. Let me also say that the pay is quite good too. However, last week thursday, I got another job at Ottawa and the difference in salary is about 18k (gross)
Both jobs are of the same category, Senior IT Security role.
Now to the main point: I'm seriously contemplating relocating my wife and son to Ottawa but my cousin feels the increase in salary is not material enough to offset the cost of living @ Ottawa in short and long term. He's of the opinion that staying close to family and friends in Calgary will be beneficial to me in the long run.
Please for folks living in both cities,which do you think is the best choice at this point in time? Should I stay in Calgary or move to Ottawa?
P.S My wife is also into IT Security but she's yet to get a job in Calgary yet.
Thanks
