Canadianfly: Thanks for your input madam. I already have my visa and I'm arriving Canada before the end of the month. The person getting the apartment is reliable. I just don't want to bother him that's why i'm keen to avoid staying too long at his place. I'll check the air bnb option though. Still hope to hear other opinions |

pauloverdi: Oh lol And you wrote POF like person wey still dey apply. I think you can go ahead if your guy is reliable and accountable. I believe Vcole did this too with her family prior to arriving Calgary. Search for her post on this thread. I thought you were asking if you could touch your POF before your application is approved. You are fine to touch away jare....some folks wey borrow money complete POF, return the money after approval, talk more of you wey the money na your own. 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Canadianfly: Lolz... just had to ask abeg. I heard that at the point of entry you will have to show evidence of the funds u said u have in pof. One of my friends said he wa asked to count the money in front of the immigration guys at the point of entry into canada. That's y I'm asking if I can use the receipt to explain the shortfall 1 Like |

pauloverdi: Hello boss, Perhaps you should just wait till you get to Canada to avoid stories. At least your mind will be calm too. Just like what @canadianfly said, it would be risky paying for what you have not seen. Your friend's eye and tastes may not necessarily be your taste. She also suggested airbnb, go with that instead, then when you are certain you can commit. My opinion though. |

Akaewu:Bro, do as many certs as you can now. And above all learn the technology, don't just gather certs like a veteran soldier but actually be able to prove your skills...Better to land armed and ready to hit the ground running than adding learning for exams to the survival hustle. The cert is just to get your foot in the door and hopefully not to be bypassed by some mean ATS somewhere so you can show your reall value and pull out your medals like a 5-star general. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hi Fam, for those that landed in Ontario, how do you handle the 3 months wait for OINP health insurance ? Reason I ask is that I am coming with a toddler and an infant who are allergic esp to cold. Just wondering how much private insurance would cost for the period. 3 Likes |

Nwandy218: Hi, no one is allergic to cold so I guess you mean susceptible but your point is well noted. I also have a child who is prone to colds though at 4 years when we came, we knew that keeping him warmly dressed is the key. He has experienced two winters now and he is the strongest of us in that he can't wait to go and play outside in the dead of winter no matter how cold. After dressing him appropriately, I just sit down inside and watch him from the window. My skin 'forbids' the cold unless absolutely necessary for me to go outside. We only came with 1 dose of malaria medicine each for the whole family, 1 set of worm expellers as well as paracetamol to enable us cope with the change of environment and to combat the initial stress due to the relocation/travelling. I came in June and fortunately, we didn't need the drugs ever which I later threw out. It's not advisable for everybody to do without insurance like me especially when you know your own personal situation. For you, I would say talk to your current insurance provider for a suitable insurance cover then also talk to and compare with IGI, Mansard to name a few as I know they have such products. Based on your research, you can make an informed choice. All the best. 16 Likes 11 Shares |
