My Good people of Nairaland, I greet everyone specially. For those that need clerification on anything in Manitoba specifically Winnipeg I will do my best to answer just in case I don't respond on time no vex ooo.
My piece of advice no matter what please don't give up on the pursuit.

As per the scope of sex/gender (LGBTQ stuffs) and whatever people believe in, It's all about personal choice, aslong as homophobia is taken out of the equation. I have had two gay managers, and they were not different at work from the straight managers I have had. There are kids in my son's class (grade 1) who think that they are girls when they are actually boys - bobrisky levels, and this is at a catholic school. All the kids in his class between age 5 & 6 have all learnt to mind their own business and respect the wishes of others. Just as theCongo mentioned, It's all about mutual respect. Live and let live.

I am sorry to say it is not only Nigerians that feel inferior with whites. My former landlady (a Jamaican)who has been in this country for more than 35 years gets jittery when she sees whites. I am like, so she has different treatment for people based on their colour. In my workplace too, one of my ogas from Barbados does the same. A colleague from Jamaica was now telling me that it is because she is from Barbados. That jamaicans don't do that. I just smiled at her as i didn't want to waste my time sharing my experience with my jamaican landlady.

My conclusion is that some blacks feel inferior because of their colour. They make up for being black by giving preferential treatments to the whites. I wish i can share my experience in my workplace here now but time is not ripe for it yet. It is not peculiar to Nigerians and once i notice you treat people differently based on their colour, you will not see me near you.

You do not even understand what being gay means from your post, or could it be english comprehension?
No where did I mentioned in my post that I support LGBTQ.

However, if you are homophobic, you would be better off staying in Nigeria.

Well in Manitoba Specifically Winnipeg Life is easy going and people here are very nice they are known as Friendly Manitobans.

I came here with my family so I can only relate to people with families, your kids are entitled to child benefits monthly and if you live below certain annual income you are entitled to Rent assist. There are jobs every where here but if you are selective you might have to wait a while.

That's the generality of it.

princfred:
What do you think you think being gay implies? Where did you say you dont support it?

TheCongo2:


Salford1 was only making a report on LGBTQ without giving his personal opinion

princfred:
Really? What was she implying then? What was my post then?

LOTRISH45:
Better. How to get jobs, housing and licensing procedures for regulated profession should in my view form the fulcrum of dicuss here. I wonder why we dissipate energy on weird sexual shit.

I am graduating soon from a Canadian Uni, so, I started looking for jobs recently. Most of my job application thus far are through my university's career website and GC jobs. Not alot of info in the thread applies to individuals who studied here in Canada. However if anyone has info applicable to Fresh graduate in Canada, it will be well appreciated. Housing, I live in Montreal. not alot of Nigerian Skilled immigrant choose Quebec Province because of French Language Bonjour! Au revior! Recently, I realized that most of the people around me are young people with similar experience like me. Thus, There is a need to connect with folks that are older and more experienced, and those that I can learn from. Regulated profession, No Idea, havent done such yet! I think its worth it discussing about sexuality and racial oppression because they have influence on us and on those around us, especially in Canada

TheCongo2:


This is what he was trying to say:
LGBTQ is a personal choice.
Whether we agree with that or not, we should learn to accept and respect one another.

Oh thanks. Please how much do people doing survival jobs earn per hour in winnipeg, and do such survival jobs require any canadian certification before being considered for employment? if you work in a regulated profession, was it difficult getting license to practice, and do you have any idea if Optometry jobs are easy to come by in Winnipeg?
