oddysey:Just do a generalized search on the prospect of public health physician in your intended province. What requirements is needed. The appropriate body for licensure and the likes. Another thing to do is network with people in that field via LinkedIn. A job search on the Canadian job bank, workopolis dot ca, indeed dot ca, kijiji.ca, monster dot ca and the others will give you a clue on the direction to go. Alternatively, if the individual intend practicing Medicine then check some of my previous post. I hope this help 6 Likes 2 Shares |

einsteino: Mehn. This your respone stopped me in my tracks and brought me out of my lurking mode. Are you planning for your future divorce when you are not even married already? It may seem you are being very cautious but if divorce is already an option then i bet you will fall into this mode in the future. Why dont you just believe that you would be married and do not need to divorce? I used to have divorce at the back of my mind until someone mentioned to me the dangers of my thinking process. *As a man thinks so is he* please do not under estimate the power of negative thoughts. Divorce has more emotional scars than just the actual action itself. Just felt to say something. 7 Likes |

Cheriesparkle: This is like me telling a police officer not to carry his gun to work. Because if you feel like you'd get shot, you most likely will. Think positively and no criminal will harm you. Potentially being shot is the reality of the job. Just like someday potentially becoming divorce after x years of marriage. Everyone should protect themselves at all times. Men and women. Losing all your assets after years of marriage when you're about to retire isn't a joke. 12 Likes |

Canadianfly: @Einsteino. I think the above mentioned is a good and warm advice to follow. Have someone who is compatible with your personality and has the same values as you is very important in your marital decision. So that you both share a lot of things in common so that when you have any differences it dosn't seem like from the point that you are with an enemy or an arch-enemy but just a close friend with some misunderstanding whom you can settle your differences easily and quickly. It is also vital to have a childlike mind (childlike is different from being childish). Childlike is being tender hearted, kind, void of Malice, hatered, anger, bitterness and resentment. flexible, easily forgives and look past someone's weakness and always hope for the Best. I hope this helps. 5 Likes |

maternal: This is not how i meant it. In as much as we always expect to be happy and married there is another thing called *CONFLICT MANAGEMENT * there would be happy times the same way there would be rough times. As far as you are living with someone they will always upset you and you will always upset them but how you manage the not so happy times is also a choice which is not to be overlooked. There are ways to manage conflit which is another aspect of emotional intelligence. Marriage divorce does not just happen. It is actually a build up of negative events and situations that finally leads to the breakdown of the marriage. I am trying to say such can be managed positively that would not eventually lead to the marriage breakdown. 5 Likes |

[quote author=einsteino post=60016573] i would rather thank you now. so airing my views and trying to look out for myself makes me a crazy person. it is alright. thanks to @Canadianfly for being civil enough to answer my questions without calling me names. Its not about being a crazy person. It is that you have allowed your fear about this topic become something else. Fear shows itself in different ways and from what you have been saying so far your fear about this whole marriage and divorce topic has made you build up defensive walls in your mind. And these walls may really not be needed as it could be just an over defensive mechanism you have set up for yourself. |

Cheriesparkle: Thanks for your reply.. but dont you think what you are suggesting is analogous to choosing to drive without a seat belt simply because you believe you won't be involved in an accident? it would be irresponsible of me to just outsource my fate to optimism, when I can do more. As a man thinks so is he?.. In the context of your argument, perhaps we should "think" Canadians would be the ones seeking PR to Nigeria by 2020. you see that's wishing and not thinking. I am not wishing for a divorce. However, it is evident that it is on the increase and in the event of it, I could lose a substantial part of my worth, it is only logical I THINK of how to savage the hazard. You correctly pointed out that Divorce leaves emotional scars, i'd like to think servicing an ex would exacerbate the trauma. lets not make it seem as though prayer in the way and manner it is practised in Nigeria and by Nigerians, is a substitute for doing nothing. I would first fasten my seat belt before praying for an accident free journey. 7 Likes 1 Share |

salford1: @ Salford 1. You just burst my bubble with this news. And i was looking forward to relocating to Canada. Uk is more cosmopolitan from all your explanations. I love National express too. Even Canada kebab is not so good? How will someone cope. I never used to miss catch up Tv programs like catch up 40D and other catch up Tv programs. Hnmmm..it is well... |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Cheriesparkle: 9:28pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
einsteino: But the thing is this. If Divorce is an option to you, you will likely take the divorce option when you are undergoing marriage pressures. My friend in the Uk is married to a full blown white wealthy British man. Surprisingly enough he mentioned something before getting married to her. He told her if she would divorce him later in life come what may then she should not bother going further with the marriage. Mehn we were really shocked he gave her such conditions for their marriage. It made my friend understand that they would have to walk through any situation they found themselves in as the husband has warned that no divorce even before marriage. They have been married almost 10 years and are still happy. They have had problems big enough to destroy the marriage but divorce has never been on the table either. But someone who keeps doing the wrong thing and keeps praying for something different to happen is like someone who is obese and is praying to loose weight and still eating 24 hours. No dieting, no weight loss plan and just expecting majic to happen and deflate instantly. 2 Likes |

Ekpekus: Naa you can be fashionable joor. Just layer with sense. For inner A thermal Wool jumper. (Please when getting clothes always check the labels for material compositions. Wool keeps warm.) Jacket (wool content in the jacket material should be over 50%. Wool scarf. Pls rub your hands on the wool material to make sure its smooth as some can scratch For bottoms. Get thermal longjohns or 120 denier leggin that can trap in your body heat. Thermal socks Shoes that have some warmth inside them and not too flat. 16 Likes 14 Shares |

Cheriesparkle: your friend isnt the first person to say such, some other person who told their would be wife such werent so lucky and we cant even say your friend has 100% survived, since it shouldnt end till death. There is no harm in putting the conditions in writing or a legal document, that is the only thing that would save one in court. i like paper guarantees, so i can love with my whole heart without risk. 6 Likes |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by czaratwork: 10:18pm On Sep 10, 2017 |
please i have another query. my middlename was written as my surname in my drivers licence and all effort to change it when i discovered did not work so i was using it like that. Recently(last week) CPA said i should submit my doc of id for my conversion and i sent my drivers licence (notarised copy) They rejected it on the grounds that my middlename was written as my surname. i have sent them my birth certificate to replace the drivers licence earlier submitted but i am wondering if i am going to have issues using the drivers licence at Ontario. Will the Ministry of transport reject it too? Is there anything i can do now i am still here to avoid embarrassment when i land in 2 weeks time. urgent response will be appreciated. 1 Like |

Elsharon: My work exp in Nigeria was not in HR. However, I studied HR in Canada. Not sure you can get an HR job without you having prior experience or education in the field. You might need to do a PGD course and write some certification courses as mentioned in my other posts. Again, I'm not sure. This is solely my opinion. There might be exceptional cases for exceptional skill sets. You could get administrative jobs through Career edge also. Just be open minded to start from somewhere. Gaining the Canadian experience is key in fully integrating else... 5 Likes 2 Shares |
