I can only answer # 3. I'd pick Edmonton over Calgary any day.

Someone once mentioned about the possibility of getting a better rate for car insurance with the letter.

pepe1:


Ok Boss.

Thanks for the clarification.

It is safe to say that the FRSC driving experience letter may not worth the hassles.

salford1:

It maybe useful in some provinces but definitely not Saskatchewan or Alberta.

Like seriously at the bold part above?

Wouldn't have thought so by a long stretch. I don't actively do twitter anyways. So what do I know.

It will all end in praise IJN!

I am confused about the bolded. How can one learn to program without learning a programming language?

simiolu1:


You see, programming is 40% of the code you write and 60% a myriad of other skills. You can know how to program without having those other skills. Very much possible.

Unlimited22, this small epistle is for you

If you can get your hands on any Introduction to Computer Science course by Harvard, Stanford or MIT, please do. The course will teach you basics that you will be glad you learned earlier.

Secondly, try get your hands on Foundations of Programming by Lynda.com. Lynda.com is now part of LinkedIn so if you sign up for a premium account on LinkedIn, you'd get all Lynda.com courses for free as part of LonkedIn learning. Premium accounts have a 30day free trial period.

If you eventually go with the LinkedIn option since it is free, check out the Become a front end developer learning track. It teaches HTML, CSS and JS.

If I were you, I'd also check out the Improve your JS skills learning track followed by the Become a React Developer Track and then Improve your React skills track. These 3 learning tracks will improve your JS knowledge and you'd be exposed to the world of JS libraries, frameworks and Single Page Applications.

To learn Node, just take a look at the Become a full stack developer track. This track will expose you to the MEAN stack (MongoDb, Express, Angular and Node). But since you might be familiar with React if you took the React courses, you can swap out Angular for React thereby having the MERN stack.

In the end, you'd still need to learn about text editors, the command line, version control and testing. If you decide to learn a back end language, you can't escape knowing about servers (VPS, Shared hosting, IaaS, PaaS), databases (design, implementation, etc), application architecture and a myriad of other things I can't remember right now.

This is not in any way to scare you, believe me, most people who want to learn programming don't know the number of things/technology they need to know about just to function as a programmer so they drop out when they realise how ignorant they still are despite spending 3 months learning HTML and CSS.

Lest I forget, Lynda.com beats Udemy hands down by miles and the only udemy course I have ever enjoyed are the ones by Maximilian (academind is his YouTube channel).

All the best!!!!!

Thank you most kindly.

Canadianfly:


Lol I totally relate. You're lucky though your kids are older. Babies and toddlers are something else.

Guitarlife:

That was quite insightful. For a beginner with limited resources. Get a book on data structures and algorithm in any programming language.

Preferably object oriented like java. Thats a good step in learning how to program.

Thats what I did and I added MCSA sql server to it.

Hi guys long time So someone was asking if he should get the FRSC drivers record. My advice is that anything you can get from Nigeria while you can still get it cos you never know how it can come in handy. I was Alberta bound but I still got the FRSC drivers record through the help of @mummyjaygirls who landed a month after we did. Even though i did not need it one instinct pushed me to do it. So it happened I lost my drivers license the day I went for my first knowledge test, which I failed , and the registry was adamant to enrolling me for the Non GDL driving program until they see my license. I had to wait for months after applying online for a renewal from FRSC which wasn't forth coming. Deciding to do the normal naija thing after waiting for months by asking a friend to hook me up with someone to get the license from FRSC office in Lagos. Dude ended up processing one fake license like that which I didnt know cos it looked authentic so I used it to apply. I got denied and exempted from the GDL exemption but was given a number to call and appeal. That's how I appealed and took all my documents including the FRSC record I didnt need. The peace officer only took note of that letter and said he recognized it as original. That's how he started apologizing to me that it was a trainee that handled my filenif mot they wont have denied me. He said they were aware that agents process fake drivers license and pass it as original to unsuspecting Nigerians applying from diaspora. That's how I was allowed to take d road test a d got my license the following week.


This is just one example. I've seen guys that got good insurance deals because they had a letter from their insurance company from back home. Once your instinct prompts u to get any document follow that instinct because the force moving you to Canada knows you are gonna need it.

Hello everyone,

I just got my PR and I would appreciate it if a few of my questions/concerns can be addressed.
1. I have the ACCA certification and considering getting the CPA. Can I use my M.Sc transcript instead of the B.Sc? //// Check here for more details. http://www.cpawsb.ca/ You should submit both M.Sc and B.Sc. You might be lucky with more exemptions if you submit both.


2. I am pregnant in Alberta and would be landing about 6 weeks to my EDD with my two kids.
What are the typical work hours for full time jobs? Is it realistic to assume that I can work full time with kids? (I do not intend to start job search until the baby is about three months old anyway). ///// It depends on the age of your kids. Daycare fees no be beans ooo. Full time jobs are 8 hrs. some are shift based. resume 7am, 8am or 9am.

3. Per the CPA and other accounting/finance related jobs, is there a group (eg whatsapp, telegram) I can join to keep abreast of events and trainings?

I got a discount on my insurance with sharp insurance in Calgary. They requested for the FRSC letter and a letter from my insurance company in Nigeria indicating that i insured my car for at least 3 years and did not make any insurance claim (NO ACCIDENT).

XX01:


It's only useful in Ontario. It just makes you wait less before getting a full license.

Someone once mentioned about the possibility of getting a better rate for car insurance with the letter.

bday:
Hello @ XX01, Please I have less than 1 year's driving experience (10 months). Can I take the FRSC letter with me? Would it assist me in anyway or should i wait 2 months in Canada before requesting the FRSC letter from Nigeria? Please any advice would be appreciated.
