blackbriar:
soft copies are great. hard copies are also very helpful.
My 2 cents, try to gather all government issued ID about yourself. You might need it for citisenship application.
No need to rush about TFN . you are still not a tax resident of australia. Do the application when you make the final move. Besides when are you meant to activate your visa? you have 1 year to enter australia if not the visa is invalid,,right?
Medicare ranks highest when you land in asutralia compared to TFN . my 2 cents again. Cosa if you catch a cold , you pay through your pocket for treatment. You can geta job wihotut TFN, and get tax rebate after you get your TFN. Is medicare in Australia not free? I read it is free |

Students have group insurance, we pay Blue Cross about 1,400 every academic year, and schools have clinics too. All this is included in our student fees, but to get dental, you have to opt for extra coverage. ( more cash ) Also for PhD student? |

[quote author=NuCypher post=125048142] Do you experience tribalism in Nigeria? Racism is some form of extension. It's the world's reality. Regardless, Canada is a healthier society to live in than Nigeria is, and everyone can do their part in fighting the scourge of racism.[/quorte]

It depends if you have completed the minimum required number of working hours needed to receive maternity leave benefits prior to birth. Each city(not every city in each province has same requirement) has its own specific number. For ex in Calgary it's 665Hrs of work which equates to 4months of a 40Hr/week work.In Edmonton it's 700Hrs.
You can find specific data here: https://srv129.services.gc.ca/rbin/eng/rates_cur.aspx Thanks, God bless you |

All the western world countries are almost the same except for little variations here and there.
They are all credit societies where large chunk of their economy is driven by consumer spending.
However you have the choice to stay out of loans. For example, If you don't have money to go to school, then you don't have to study courses that would keep you heavily indebted since you will be taking loan to study. You can study in demand courses in colleges with grant rather than go to a high ranking university to study with loans. You can decide to drive a 15 year old car and pay for it in cash rather than going for a brand new or fairly new car with loan.
You can even keep renting instead of buying a house on mortgage if you hate loans so much but that doesn't make sense since houses are assets and not liabilities. Even though you owe money on a house, you can sell it and make profit when the time is right.
Note that an average oyibo doesn't care much about debt the way we do cos that is how they live from beginning and it's part of their lifestyle as built by their system.
You talked about savings but note that these western countries are not built for savings but spending. Like I said before, it is the bedrock of their economy. Besides, the structure of their society coupled with fairly good governance makes savings not to be a big deal.
Why do people need savings? In case of emergency. What are the do or die emergencies? Loss of job, health, accidents, loss of shelter,life etc. The oyibo model is insure instead of savings. This is why insurance is one of the biggest industries in North America.
In this place, your insurance is your savings while in places like Nigeria, your savings is your insurance because of the model our society is run. You see the difference.
Why would an average oyibo be bothered much about savings when he has insured against all possible emergencies? Life, employment, health,home,car,accident and even pet sef dey get insurance. These insurance coverages cost money but because of their mentality, they embrace it but majority of us Africans will see it as a waste and instead save those money in the bank and that would form part of our "savings".
So when you read an average oyibo have little or no savings, that is the truth but it doesn't tell the full story.
You asked a valid question but you need to understand how the society is built in order to properly navigate it. The choice to embrace the oyibo model or our Nigerian model or a little mixture of both is left for you. Thank you, this explanation is helpful. |

Hello house, pls I have many questions to ask about Canada but allow me to start with this: In USA, loan is everything. Most of them carry school loan and pay till old age; some to buy car which can be paid for 5yrs; to buy house which can be paid more than 20yrs and even carry loan just to go for vacation. And these loans are transferred to their children to complete payment when they are dead. And I read, that the average American can only safe $5k in a yr which will not be enough for anything. Pls, is Canada like that? Thanks for your answers. 1 Like |
