True and I know a friend whose mum was denied even after she and her family had landed for a couple of months. There is no hard and fast rule. GlitteringStar2: |

Had anyone applied for a PRTD recently. I don't know how to answer the residency obligation and absence while accompanying a citizen/PR. My family is returning to CA and our cards are yet to be issues. PS: How long does it take to process? |

kylexy61: Thanks. Just when I got used to 8 degrees, we started getting 0 degrees. I have noticed most folks are not actually used to the weather, they only dress for it and tolerate it. There is actually a decent number of folks who leave Canada during the winter and return after it. Well, winter is yet to come. 5 Likes |

TEECANN:please make a conscious effort to speak to them in Yoruba. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 5:41pm On Oct 19, 2018 |
TEECANN: What you do is speak Yoruba to them all the time. My kids don't interact too as its from home to school, school to house and be inside fence all day. All my kids speak Yoruba including my 3 year old and what I do is speak to them in Yoruba concerning anything at all. Even when I pick them up from school the only English I speak Is "get into the car" I start with the 'Bawo ni school?, oya e jekalo, bag e da? " So if it's to get a glass of water. When u say "bami bu omi wa" and they look confused just say "get me water" next time they know what it means. Don't make the sentences long too. Keep it short and Simple and with time they get to express well. No matter where we are I speak my Yoruba to the kids. I don't care who's looking. Cos sometimes I get stares and Na me sabi wetin I want. They already speak good English so why not Yoruba? I even think they will learn faster as they are kids, so just try simple conversations with them and request for things in Yoruba, ask questions in Yoruba. Don't give up. They will get it. I've also heard of kids who speak 3 languages well (never seen one though) but I'm hoping my kids will learn and know French too. So na French Yoruba English all join. 41 Likes 5 Shares |

Hi people in the house. Been in the country for about a week now and still looking for a room to rent in the greater Toronto area. Markham, Scarborough, Mississauga areas will be the most convenient. Can anyone give me any pointers asides Kijiji cuz i’ve tried and I don tire?? budget is $450 |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by cochtrane(m): 3:14am On Oct 20, 2018 |
ibnhasan:Faced the same prob. Your immigrant Visa is only one entry, so you can't reuse it. I asked a Canada Border Services officer and according to him, CBS has no prob letting you back in with your COPR. That however doesn't mean the airline/US officers will accept that. Your PR card is what they'll want to see. So, in summary, you may not be able to regain entry into Canada. 2 Likes |

Iyamarun: Well done, that’s the dream for me o. When the kids finally start coming in Canada, I want them to speak Igbo, French and English. It’s the least I can do for them abeg. Your suggested approach works, growing up my parents though educated, only communicated to us in Igbo, we even had family prayers in Igbo. They had to when they discovered we could barely hear or speak, and it worked, to the extent that I still subconsciously start praying in Igbo now. 21 Likes |

Good day seniors in the house, Started from page one, thread one here as advised and its been a wealth of information and useful tips gathered so far. I had to jump pages to get here because i have a burning question to ask, questions really but i'll drop these first. ** I have searched on Indeed but Health and Safety jobs doesnt seem to abound there. From ground experience please what is it like over there? I graduated SLT (Chemistry), did CIEH 2 and 3 and was intending to continue on the HSE pathway when we get to canada but i don't know if its a ready market and what the pay is like(Calgary or Ottawa) also if i have to write some other certifications to be able to start at all in that career pathway considering i don't have previous work experience here in Nigeria. *** I have five years banking experience (Cashier and Customer service) and jobs abound on indeed though varying wages in the different provinces and companies. Should i just continue in that path, write a couple of professional certifications to establish myself and just forget i ever read sciences? Is there much room for career advancement there? ****My husband is an IT support person/Project management/BA, from experience where do you think its best to live in...ottawa or Calgary? I sort of prefer Ottawa for jobs for him but houses don't come really cheap there for beginners like us, Calgary seems to ace in that and we have family there. Please kindly advise. @Blackbuddy, @Salford Please pitch in too thanks |
