Hello e-family. I have a UK MSc IT and 3yrs foreign experience in NOC 2172 (not landed yet). Please I want to know if the CIPS IT certification cips.ca/AITP is required to get a good IT job in Canada

I understand that other Canadian industry professionals such as engineering have APEGA and accounting have CPA. It will be helpful to know this before I commit to the $75 application review and $275 membership fee (Ontario)

Thanks very much @GlitteringStar

Thanks @glittering star, I saw that, I was looking for more. Oliver Twist things, lols. The kind of robust discussion that people had on Ontario, Alberta and Regina.

Lol @Oliver Twist things. There are so many Nigerians in Winnipeg and some in Brandon. Unfortunately, most of them are not on nairaland while others are unwilling to share their experiences.

Yes. There are lots of Nigerians in brandon and winnipeg but they are not willing to share their experiences of living in manitoba. I was meant to attend a wedding in brandon last month but missed it due to other pressing issues i had to attend to.

Also there are lots of naija landing everyday. 2 friends landed in Ontario just yesterday and many more are landing before the end of the year. Some are on Nairaland, but just as you mentioned, they are not willing to share their experiences. Even on this thread and the other one, when most land, they just lock up. oh well.

I am not into IT, but i suggest you google jobs in your field in Canada. The job vacancies would likely have somethings in common like certfications or certain required skills. The same keywords maybe used when HR reps are browsing through hundreds of resumes.

Exactly! They are not willing to share their experiences. A big THANK YOU to the likes of you, Blackbuddy, Maternal, Vcole, Honey86, Ballerz, Fusion23, TheCongo2, Debbiejosh, Dogice and all other landed "seniors" who are always ready to contribute, guide, assist and lift others up.

3rd world problems

Guys, any advice on a phone plan/network provider that would work in both Ontario and Alberta? I need it for just a one month period. Thanks.

salford1:

While the US is firing coal from all cylinders in their coal power plants.

A transcanada pipeline that is meant to carry crude oil from Alberta to the Eastern provinces just got canceled last week too. Na that one pain me pass. It's a $15.7 billion dollar project that would have created 15,000 full time jobs and several thousand part time and casual jobs accross Canada.

Quebec was in strong opposition of the project, yet they receive the most amount in equalization payment.

The Liberal gov full commitments to climate-change policies have created burdens on Oil companies in BC, Alberta and sask, while refineries in Quebec and other eastern provinces keep importing oil from countries such as Venezuela or Saudi. Whereas saudi or venezyela are not imposing greenhouse gas regulations on oil companies in their own country.

1st world problems.lol

This is why unless you have transferable skills or you're high up within a oil company, make your money while planning your exit. While I've taken a massive pay cut since joining the federal government, such news doesn't concern me anymore. I'm even more glad I made the jump now. I wish people in the industry luck.

Tips needed here!!!

I plan landing in Ontario first week of December before my visa expires. I'm single with no family or friend there. I guess being single makes settling easy, but having no one to guide you through some certain things sets one for a bit rougher patch. I'd like to read here, experience of those who were in similar situation with me, how to sort out cheap accommodation without getting stranded (that's my main issue and I've done a lot of internet surfing on that).
The whole landing ish is making me depressed but I know it's just a phase. I want to book my flight ticket this week.

Pls, if you have any advice, don't ignore my message. Thank you

Hello everyone, pls I need an urgent answer to dis question, can someone get direct employment letter from a company in Canada? Like a company from Canada process work permit visa for someone to work der. Is dis possible? Plz help a brother

My Winnipeg people, pls assist me in deciding on an internet service provider. I need something pocket friendly.

Thank you.

Well I believe you have Shaw and MTS to choose from. Most immigrants I know in Winnipeg use Shaw, MTS na the oyibo Canadians. Maybe it's because MTS na their own provider so they want to give back to the province? But from my findings then I Went with Shaw because it worked out cheaper as I didn't need a landline line. MTS provides a package with tv, Internet and landline. So it depends on your needs. Check their websites and check that there's coverage in the area of the city you reside. If it's an apartment block, confirm they have connection installed already so you don't pay for installing wiring etc.

If you read through this thread you'll get pointers for your questions. Also visit impish's blog mycanadianfling.com. A lot of people have shared their ON landing experience.

I dont even think we are a part of the world let alone 3rd world. The kind of things you find even highly educated nigerians subscribe to, confirms that.

Please help oooo

Thank you Canadianfly. I think I will settle for Shaw then. Saw a Shaw cable in the apartment but I think it's for cable TV. Will check their site to see their packages. Thank you.

I will advise that you thread softly on this work permit thing. A few people have had their fingers burnt and money down the drain cos of this. If you read this thread from the beginning you will see response to your inquiry. It is almost impossible to get a work permit from Nigeria.
