Ladykeigh:
Good evening house, please I need your input.

My husband is reluctant to get started. Can I be the principal applicant ? I have a B.Sc in Computer science but never worked as a Computer scientist.

Worked in Customer service and Banking (Loan recovery ) for 2 years and 2 and half years respectively.


I have worked as a cook in my food business for 6 years since I resigned at my bank job. Will I stand a chance ? My husband on the other hand is the Country Program Manager at a Solar energy company, he studied Statistics. We both have B Sc only.

I just want to get started, I'm tired of taking in all the information without getting anything done as I have relied on my husband to do stuff.

What's the first step to take, please ? I'd also appreciate any help.Thank you all.

Click on the link above, that's the thread you should be on, you'll get all the information you need there. Also you haven't given enough information for anyone to give you proper advice

E.g do you have any other degrees/certificates apart from your Bsc, what's your husband's highest degree, how old are you and your husband, what's his work experience. The question plenty

Just play with this CRS tool below and simulate your scores then come over to the other thread and someone will be able to point you in the right direction

Your reason for coming to Canada is for permanent residence...simple. You don't have to give any other reason.


Better to make your travel plans for March, biko. You would be coming to face the harsh winter cold if you come December and practically no one would volunteer to help you get around during that time, combined with the fact that you arent used to the transit system yet. My advice though, take at your discretion.

It was a great day to be in downtown Toronto as the victory parade was help for the Toronto Raptors, 2019 NBA Champions. Some sights from Nathan Philips Square.

1. 30days

2. After I sent a mail to my VO, started gathering docs while waiting for the Request Letter, but Qlife refused to schedule an immediate appointment without this letter stating the 30days deadline. So spouse completed medicals after VO responded with a Request Letter for additional docs.

3. Submitted a few days after I got the Request Letter cos every other doc is to be uploaded via your CIC account anyways. However, you're required to submit within same 30days deadline from date on Request Letter.

Thank you so much for your prompt response

My Landing Gist

Sorry this is coming late guys.

Fast forward to today, I am now in Oshawa, ON. Just yesterday, I had a 2-hour interview/registration process and thankfully, it was a success. I sat with one of the Directors of the Company and she was so cool and friendly. We got talking like we have known each other for ages. I got the employment offer for the position of a Clients’ Services Advisor and will commence training today. I have a well-established friend based in Edmonton who constantly encourages me to relocate to Edmonton because she says there are several health-related jobs there. Especially in the field I am in, Health and Social Care.

I am grateful to God, my family and friends, for a smooth landing.

I have landed in praise. God bless you all.

@Topsmamen, @dumsydsassy1, @raphrulz, @joo2018, @Ifeoma77, @ramj, @Tojued, @Tippex, @zeiya, @fatiah: I am waiting for your landing gists o.

Folafikemi:

Hi everyone, It been a while. I landed in April and it has been a rollercoaster settling down with my family. We have finally settled in Winnipeg.
Please I want to connect with people here in Winnipeg/Manitoba.
Is there a whatsapp group?

Just a few words of advice/encouragement as you conclude
1. If you decide to continue in your current line of profession& there is a certification for it,please DO IT especially if it can be done from Nigeria. E.g PMP, do it from Naija, Bankers with branch/RM experience, do the CSC exam from naija if possible worse case, plan to take it immediately upon arrival,it goes a loooooong way to help.

2. Search for career events&register if its few weeks to your arrival.

3. If you decide to change your career upon arrival & you haven't started say taking exams etc before arrival, remember you don't expect to be on the same terrain or have the same audience from recruiters here as the person who has started.

4[b]. If you a RM in a Naija bank, remember to change that title to Banking Advisor here because that's what it's called. It soo helps


6. Head of Operations/HOP/HSS, pls note you can't be those roles in Canada because it doesn't work like that. What of thinking along the line of Internal Control,Audit,Risk, AML etc?? Just saying!

7. YOU CAN GET A JOB THAT PAYS SAME OR MORE THAN YOU ARE EARNING IN NIGERIA. JUST COMEFULLY ARMED& PREPARED!!



God bless!

yengi:

Hi thanks for the notes. If the RM's in Nigerian banks are called Banking Advisors what are those in banking ng operations (cash services, funds transfer etc) called?
