Tantolu: You only need your ORIGINAL Drivers licence in Alberta. I think your extract helps with insurance though. Mine was addressed to DRIVERS LICENCING, ALBERTA TRANSPORTATION, CANADA. The license will be delivered to a physical address. How do you plan getting it here? 8 Likes 20 Shares |

Tantolu: A class 5 license is basically the highest level for nonprofessional driving. 3 Likes 4 Shares |

Majesticniyi: Please do you know if I will need the FRSC letter in Ontario. |

Oakville19: You do need the extract plus Drivers licence in Ontario amongst other provinces. I stay in Alberta so you need people in Ontario to validate my answer. In any case though, I prefer to get all possible documents sorted and gotten before leaving Nigeria to avoid stories that touch  1 Like 2 Shares |

Oakville19: If you have been driving for at least 3 years, yes you will need the FRSC letter in Ontario. Else, if your driving record is less than 3 years, the FRSC letter become irrelevant. Last year I took a Nigerian couple to get their driver's licenses at Service Ontario. The wife was about 4 weeks short of reaching her 3 years driving record mark. The clerk at Service Ontario explained to her that she had a choice of returning after 4 weeks so that the FRSC letter could be taken into consideration. Else, Service Ontario wasn't going to consider the FRSC letter. The lady had to return to Service Ontario after reaching her 3 year Nigerian driving anniversary ***** Edit: cheromel indicated that he was able to use his FRSC letter in Toronto with 26 months driving record. It may be that the rule had changed. 7 Likes 8 Shares |

Hello Everyone, Please I need a "personal" response to this very pressing question,( ie you have , or know someone who has ) as I might have more questions. How does a landed immigrant (ie PR) have a baby in Ontario without having to incur medical expenses if for instances the person lands in the 8th month of pregnancy , this is bearing in mind the 90 days or so waiting period for Ontario's health card. Urgent responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

@waldowImmicad, a funny situation.... I haven't been resident in Nigeria for like 3 years, (though I have bn travelling back and forth on visits ) but i hold a Valid Nigeria Drivers Licence and was also able to obtain the Driving extract. Will questions arise on my eligibility to transfer my Driving experience base on the fact that I wasn't resident in Naija during the last 3 years? Also, if there are no issues, I probably think i would need a refresher course before I proceed to the main driving test...What do you think? PS: Yes, I can drive I just didn't need the licence of the country I have been staying for the past 3 years...  |

PORT OF ENTRY You can legally cross the Canadian border at any Port of Entry with your Valid COPR and other documents. Canadian port of entry includes the following: Port of Entry (Air)– Canadian Airports which are recognised as Port of entry are Vancouver International Airport, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport and Montréal – Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Port of Entry (Land)– Canadian Land port of entries are Niagara Falls – Rainbow Bridge, Windsor – Ambassador Bridge, Boundary Bay (BC), Chateaugay- Herdman Border (Quebec), Scobey – Coronach Border Crossing (Saskatchewan). Rail Crossing (Land) – Cross the border with the help of a train at Niagara Falls, Cantic (Quebec), White Rock. Port of Entry (Water) – Ferry crossings and seaports are considered water port of entry, like Prince Rupert (BC- Ferry), Yarmouth (Nova Scotia -Ferry), Belledune Port (New Brunswick – Sea), Sept- IIes Port (Quebec – Sea) and St. John’s Port (Sea). What happens when you Enter from Port of Entry? STEP 1 At the port of entry when you enter, you will find a queue. Queue up in the newly immigrant section as it is different from the regular immigration section at most of the airports. The first thing is to make a declaration in front of a Machine, which will scan your passport and take a picture. Make sure you answer all the questions carefully (ask for assistance if you do not understand anything), declare any money above C$ 10,000. Step 2 Once you are done with the first step mentioned above, you will have a printed slip, which you have to carry it along with you. You will next provide your documents to CBSA officer and tell him/her, that you are landing as a Permanent Resident and provide your Passport and COPR. The officer will ask some questions and some relevant documents. After the satisfaction of the CBSA officer, the COPR will be filed and stamped with the landing date mentioned on it (it is advised to cross-check the landing date). At this point of time you must provide an address in Canada, where you want your PR card to be delivered. If you do not have an address in Canada contact us. Step 3 After this, you might be asked to visit the customs officer. At this point, you must carry Two copies of Personal affects accounting document(List of goods and their value accompanying) and a Personal affects accounting document (List of goods and their value which will come later). You might not be asked about these documents, but if you have goods like jewellery and expensive items which will be coming later, you must get these documents signed and stamped. Step 4 At last, collect your baggage. Sometimes the above process will take 2-3 hours depending on your time and month of arrival, but do not worry. Your baggage is securely removed from the luggage belt and kept next to it. Note If you land during working hours, you might see an office of Service Canada. You should apply for your Social Insurance Number (SIN). This saves your settling time. Service Canada is generally located next to the CBSA officers’ section, but it varies from different Port of entries. Once you are done with all these steps, you are welcome in Canada and you can start settling down. 47 Likes 56 Shares |

Hello everyone, I have been following and reading a lot, though never contributed. Sorry about that. We have gotten our PPR and COPR, and my husband is suggesting we leave in August. Im very grateful to God for this opportunity but I also have my fears. I have a 3 months old baby which means I cant work for I period of time and that is where the fear comes in. I have a very good job here in Nigeria that pays me more than half a million a month. I have never depended solely on my husband to provide everything we needed. I have always worked even when I was in school. I love my family so the option of me going to just land and come back is out of the question because I can never be separated from them ( by the way we have 4 kids). Pardon me if Im going in circles but the thing is I need advice on what to do while nursing my baby at home. 1 Like |

Bibididi: You can use an escrow service to get more customers. The selling point being that they get their money back if you fail to deliver. It's sort of like a pay after delivery service only that you are 100% sure of getting paid after delivering the service. Visit www.forexcrow.com today and sign up for free. Cheers. 5 Likes 1 Share |
