Please I sent you a pm. I need the contact for the winter jackets. Thanks

softandmoist:


Yes, you will. The prices are fair but the quality may not be as good as the Yaba ones. If you want, I can give you a contact. The jackets and parka we got from Yaba are serving us well.

Nope. Their account numbers are listed on their website. I did a transfer to one of them and they sent my ticket via my registrated email. It's a simple process.

A little advice wanted from landed seniors that have done this before...

Landed in Airbnb. was hopeful of finding a place asap so only got a week. but I am starting to wonder if my budget is realistic. I chose Toronto because the Mrs and I are both in finance and I also have future plans that sort of make Ontario the only choice for us. We wanted an apartment of any sort except a basement either in Etobicoke, Scarborough, north and east york and Mississauga, but we can't seem to find anything under $1500 that is not a basement (we actually started from a budget of $1300 o, just to show you how much we have pushed our limits on this budget thing)...

Can anyone advise if this amount is reasonable and if I just need to keep searching? Its just frustrating when you see a price on Kijiji and you check the company site and its $1900 instead, or you call the management office and they either don't answer or they tell you the property is not available. I really do not want a basement apartment for my family, so I want to know if my budget is even realistic at all. I would appreciate any input on this or any connections that would help to find a place ASAP. una do well...

Why didn't you stay in any of those countries ?

With Brexit in the UK no way, I witnessed the recession of 2008/2009 and cant experiment again.
France, not ok for me as per learning French and also a bit of racism over there.
US not for me in terms of growing up of kids.
Nigeria hmmm
Qatar, once your kids are 18 they have to leave the country since they cant be on your residency again

Good evening everyone. Please I need people to talk to me. While I'm excited at a fresh start in Canada and a chance for a better life for my son, my heart is heavy.
I am wondering if Nigeria will ever be sane enough to return to in my lifetime. I am wondering what will become of my children with respect to our ethics, morals, tradition and culture. How do i ensure my children remain "Nigerians"?
Those of you who have stayed in canada for years do you long for your own country?

I dont think anyone can ever know what will become of your children. One of the demerits of immigration is what you have outlined above. You just have to train them the "Nigerian" way, and pray while you are at it.

Sometimes, it takes a community to raise a child. For this reason, Indians tend to stick together when they migrate. They majorly move into a part of town in a large city e.g NE Calgary areas of Saddletowne and Mcknight. It feels Punjab when you visit or live in that part of town. Living together helps them in preserving their culture to an extent. People do send their kids to Nigeria for boarding school, but that is if you are brave enough.

Silent reader here, I feel your pain. I don't think they'll return (kids) that's why you're migrating to get a better life for them. What you can do is to make Nigerian friends at least they'll learn a few Nigerian ethics through association

If Nigerians believed in ethics and morals the country would be better and we wouldn't have to leave the country.

You need to teach the child in the way of the Lord wherever you find yourself.2. Pass down those things you mentioned by mentoring to be done by yourself and your spouse..Naija as a country doesn't have those things in good abundance anymore,so why worry??

True. It's become almost normal to hear of teenagers doing money rituals in Nigeria. Sad but true.

Its good you put the "Nigerian" in quote. Because from what I understand you want your kids to be raised to be good people. Have respect for others irrespective of age, be polite, etc. All these they can learn in a foreign environment with close supervision from you and the grace of God. No too worry. Because we have kids that have been raised in naija and there's a lot to be said for their character.. and those raised abroad that are very disciplined. You can only do as much as you know to keep them on the straight and narrow, and hope that they toe the path you created based on God's direction (this is me assuming you believe in God through any of the religions please forgive my assumption if I'm wrong). More grease to your elbow as you strive to raise them to be wonderful people.

Still moving to Calgary? Seems I will also be moving to Edmonton from Toronto

Guitarlife:

I am planning to book another local flight from Toronto to Calgary.
Its gonna cost me about 400CAD with luggage cost. Cos AirCanada is flying 286CAD AND if you add cost for 2 check in Baggage thats roughly extra NGN100K.

I believe this is better than cancelling and re-scheduling the flight for me. I will just make sure I leave enough time to conclude the landing formality in Toronto airport.

Hello kindly help with such app I can use to provision a Canadian mobile no while in Nigeria. I used an iPhone. Thanks

Akingsqueen:
There is a 3 bedroom townhouse with a basement located in the west end area of Edmonton, Alberta in a decent neighborhood.
The contact number listed is 780-757-3700.

If you are still in Nigeria, you might want to download apps that can give you Canadian numbers so that you can call with that.
You can send some one already in Edmonton to view on your behalf.

As a lawyer in Nigeria who wants to go into HR in Canada, will I do some bridging courses there or do I have to get a degree there? Are some online courses I can take while in Nigeria to make it faster instead of waiting till I get there?

Please can someone help out? I remember someone once talked about professional exams to take for HRs but I'm not quite sure of the process through I've tried searching the thread for it.
