You can collect many snow days as you like. But where there is a will there is a way.
The system is designed to make conditions bearable. You have people dedicated who go pour salt on the road, pack the snow to one side so that your car won't skid and you also have to change your tyres to snow tyres during winter.
you will get used to it. it is just about 4-5 months of winter/snow and crazy winds jisox

Thanks Salford1.

I have over four years as a Geologist in the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry with B.Sc. in Geology and M.Sc. in Applied Geophysics. I guess due to my lack of Canadian experience I am not eligible to apply straight for PGeo. Notwithstanding can I apply for Geoscientist-in-Training (G.I.T.) while im still in Nigeria?

Very useful thread for immigrants! We've recently immigrated to Toronto. Both my hubby and I were lucky to find a good work for us and a great daycare center ( https://cozytime.ca/ ) for our kids. Canada is our second home, we have already loved it!

impish:
Thank you Sir!

Shipping Company?
Please carry it yourself. You are entitled to KG allowance. If that will not suffice, pay for excess luggage. It is about 150 - 180 dollars per 23kg depending on the carrier. Egypt air is 150 USD, BA is 180 USD. But you can it it lower if you prepay for the excess luggage.
Just package your food very well. You can buy clingfilm and wrap your food well. Even the palmoil, make sure your cling film the living day light out of it so that it does not spill. Flying from Lagos, you need to get to the airport early to obtain some food clearance certificate as stipulated in their new mode of operations but Abuja Airport, they are no longer authorised to be checking your bag. Once, it has gone through the scanning machine upon entry and the machine did not raise alarm, you are good to go.

23kg of food for host will be perfect. What makes a bag weigh much is usually Poundo yam, Garri and Beans. Another trick is that you can carry that poundo yam in your hand luggage (if they don't become witches and want to weigh your hand luggage). That was what I did recently. 6 Ola Ola were weighing 10kg. I put them in my hand luggage. When I got to connecting destination, I told the airline to please help put in holding and they were very happy to check it in for me unlike the rude Nigeria carriers, who told me to pay for it as excess luggage. (Same carrier, but once they are not in Nigeria, they start showing you respect and overly nice)

Cheers

Hi Blackbuddy,
The specialized training for internationally skilled persons you referred to in the above post, is it one of those bridging programs or the ones organized by the settlement agencies for potential PR's coming to Canada? Can you throw more light on these programs and your opinions on which ones are best for the various categories of skilled workers coming into Canada? Thanks for being helpful as always

Babachi:

I thought winter starts November. That's like 12wks

How do people manage to go to work and school in such weather conditions?

Thanks for this useful info boss! I will be using egypt air and I know the laid down kg is 23kg per bag and we r allowed to take just two bags+1 hang luggage. What of if the 2bags or one of them weigh like 25kg and the other weigh 23kg or both 25kg is it possible they waive it and allow me to go? And is it advisable to use padlock to protect your luggage
You can always manage relationship and smile very well to them and have some Naira change to say thank you. Mine was well in excess but I said good thanks to one guy that was very cool and nice and he was also very happy when I said thank you to him. He helped collect tags for all the carryon bags which were like 3.

2. You also talked about putting some foodstuffs in the hand luggage, I heard any foodstuffs or eatable materials found in the luggage will be disposed( at mm airport).
Poundo yam is a packaged food, they cannot throw it away. Even ground nuts. What they throw away is something that will pose a security risk when airborne like sharp objects or things that can be mixed together to create explosives

3. Aside the 2bags, Am I allowed to carry a school bag + one small handbag - Yes. This is a Laptop bag and hand luggage
4. I heard perfumes are not allowed in passenger's luggage please how true is this? - You can carry as many perfumes as you like. Each bottle must not be more than 100ml. If not they will bin it. Rather pretend to bin it and take it home to use
5. The declaration form you talked about (for both foodstuffs and money) will it be provided without asking for it or we are meant to ask for it and if it will be provided, when should I expect it(on board or before) - They will give you shortly before you land.

Please pardon my jjc questions o I cant keep mute when I know i dont know thanks in anticipation

Bro (I'm guessing u r a bro thanks s lot for the info. I have hands on experience with diesel engines mechanical and electriCal systems aND generators. My copr states Richmond as my destination city but I have a buddy living in nanaimo so I'm thinking I should stay in nanaimo and then after I settle I could move if I decide to. However I've been hea ring a lot about how alberta is great for the trades but also hearing that there have been a lot of job losses due to the oil price slump is really discouraging. I'm booking my flight for me and family next week and considering the distance between alberta and bc, I wouldn't want to land in bc (where i have a friend but I'm not sure of job prospects) and start looking for a way to move to alberta in a short time. Won't b funny. Pls advise. Also I'd like to challenge the red seal exams ... how do I go about doing dat and when can I start
