Talk about things 'some' African ladies see as can/cannot do lol. They will eventually show that they like you but not without you making the first move, many of them.

Holla everyone. Feels good to finally be able to say PPR after 2 years and 8 months (Nov 2019 AOR). I’ll be landing in Winnipeg and but first point of entry will be Calgary; any recent landed persons with information that can come in handy especially for the first point of entry will be appreciated.

Thanks for all the information on this group.

Is $712 the total rent? or the shared component?
I'm not female. Just asking for a friend.

Final question: are you one of those women who are renting houses they can't afford and then looking for somebody to share it with? grin

My immigration story


I want to share my immigration story here in the hopes that it may help someone else make a decision. Please note that you don’t have to believe this. Many may not. But if you think this will help you make a decision and you want to reach out to me, please feel free. I will show you all the proof you need. But I will also ask for proof for your own backstory, because I don’t want anyone wasting my time too much. Hahaha
I applied for express entry sometime in 2017 while I was working a very comfortable job. To be honest, I had no reason to apply. I was extremely comfortable working a seven-figure job. I was making nothing less than 3m a month with a lot of benefits, housing, gym membership, etc., all paid for by the company. My housing alone every two years was in the region of 4m. I mean, I was super comfortable. I lived in an 1.5m a year apartment and owned my own car. My job took me everywhere around the world from Nigeria. In a year, I visited not less than 5 countries in Europe, America and Asia. I had no reason to apply for express entry. But I did out of curiosity. And then the PR landed.
Omo, I was confused. What gives? What do I do? I thought about it a lot. Was I going to leave this cushy job and just wander into the unknown in a foreign country? I should include that, though I loved my job, I was already suffering the burnout associated with working too hard. This is one thing many people don’t realize. Sometimes, money won’t bring you the happiness you want if you start suffering burnout. You start to see the money as a given since it comes in every month, and you won’t understand what it means for salary to stop.
So, I started thinking about what to do, whether to accept this express entry thing. I wasn’t married. So I could actually make this decision and be fine. I’m not bringing a wife and kids into the uncertainty. Anyho, I opted for short landing first. That made more sense. I came into Calgary, spent some time (like 3 weeks), and then left. I soon forgot all about Canada, abeg. I’ve pushed it for two years. Let me focus on my job.
Two years went by so fast my head spun. I was back to square one in this decision. Do I quit my job? As I was contemplating this, they offered me a promotion at work. My salary went up a comfortable 20%. I just got more confused. Everything was happening so fast, especially having to go back to Canada and not lose my PR status.
At the beginning of the next year and exactly two years later, I turned in my resignation. I thought about it long and hard. It was a very difficult decision to make, but I turned in the resignation anyways and decided I was going to launch myself into this uncertainty.

(To be continued) smiley

you too mumu. It’s common for people to rent out a room. If a one bedroom is 1500 per month, two bed will be 1800. So which one is cheaper
