Seniors in the health field pls I need your advice, I'm very confused on what to do. I got my copr last month. I was sponsored by my brother as a dependent child. I graduated as a medical Laboratory scientist last month from a school here in Nigeria. As a medical laboratory science graduate, you have to go for 1 year internship. My question is that should I just to do a soft landing and then come back to do my internship and then travel back or is it possible for me to do my internship in Canada so as to qualify to do the certification exam.

Hi, some phone products are meant for certain markets only and won't work outside that particular market eg Africa, Asia or Middle East. This applies to both Apple and Android products, some folks were not able to use their old phones in Canada and had to buy here.
One work-around you can try is to get a SIM from another carrier and maybe that might be compatible with your current phone. If this doesn't work then you'd have to consider getting a phone here. All the best.

Thanks. But I did my soft landing earlier in the year, and I got a Chatr sim which worked on the same iphone, only to return to Canada and both the Chatr sim and the new Rogers sim that I got seems not to be compatible with the iPhone, which is strange cos I had used a Canadian sim on the same phone earlier in the year.

bLacKGoLd3:


That device seems to be locked by the network carrier that sold the iPhone.

Did you buy that iPhone brand new? Are you using a chip with the sim? When you say "unlocked", do you mean you have an activation code from say, Tmobile or AT&T?

I bought is brand new from Nigeria. By unlocked I mean it’s not locked to any carrier because I had used a chatr sim on the same phone when I came to Canada earlier in the year for soft landing.

However, I paid for a 3rd party service to find out if the iphone was locked then I was told my phone is locked to US reseller Flex Policy

Sir,

Sorry I eavesdropped, I heard you say you landed earlier this year. Please, did you stay till you got your card? If not, how did you return to Canada? Did you get a PRTD did someone help you bring it to Nigeria or did you use a courier service?

I can't stay till PR comes and I need to know my options.

Warm Regards.

Good day.

some with pr are still hustling for jobs. Its hard for employers to consider someone from nigeria unless you have a special skill.

Hi, Canada has 10 provinces and 3 territories. Between them, there are over 20 Provincial nomination programs you can key into to move you closer to PR. Don't be fixated only on Federal ITA, PNP has been the savior for many like you to immigrate as Skilled workers. So research the various provinces and nomination programs that don't require a job offer and channel your energy in that direction. Find the one(s) you can meet their requirements and focus on those. There will be light at the end of the tunnel, all the best.

There's a family sponsorship program whereby a permanent resident or a citizen can sponsor his parents and grandparents and such person has to sponsor the dependent children i.e children under 21 years

As I guessed, that iPhone is locked to a US carrier. It is not much different from using a blacklisted device/iPhone. In Nigeria and lots of countries, your device will work on local networks, but in North America, forget it!

So, here's what I think happened with your device;

Whoever sold that device to you bought it from the US, and though you may be able to buy an unlocked iPhone from the US, they are technically all locked to a US carrier the minute you pop in a US sim card. Now, because Canada and the US have an existing policy on information sharing across their network carriers (particularly for devices to enable a global IMEI blacklist), you may have been able to use that iPhone on Chatr when you arrived, but as soon as Rogers (Chatr is owned by Rogers) shares device information with the likes of Tmobile or AT&T in the US, your IMEI must have been flagged as a device that belongs to their network. You return, but these guys want nothing to do with your device anymore - it has been blacklisted (the same way you can't keep dating a girl after you find out she's your guys' girl ).

What should you do? Call Apple and find out what carrier your device is locked to and harass the life of that network carrier on social media (I recommend Twitter for this exercise) till they let you go. I advised social media because, if you stick to just phone calls, they will keep tossing you around.

Cheers mate!

my good people , I am considering to register for food safety management training which is going to cost me 400 cad . Pls has anyone involved in this certification in the past and what's the benefit of the program for job prospects in canada food industry.

Has anyone secure a job via the training ?

I need your advice sir/ma.

@salford.

You hit the nail on the head. This is a pretty common occurrence unfortunately.
People buy phones (most times with a payment plan) in the US and send it to Nigeria to sell as they don't operate on the same frequency.
Unfortunately for the OP, Canada and the US do. So an iPhone blacklisted in the US wouldn't/shouldn't work in Canada.

@Juicebox enter your IMEI number on Swappa or IMEIpro to see if it is indeed blacklisted.
If it is, you could just sell it to someone in Nigeria, then use the money to get another in Canada.
How to find your IMEI. Or just type *#06# on your keypad, it should show up.

@bLackGold3, nagging them on social media might not be the best idea. They won't budge. The iPhone is blacklisted probably because of non-payment. OP could try though.

I do not know about food industry in Canada, but a good place to start would be job vacancies e.g. indeed CA.
Check out the type of jobs you desire, then check the requirements for such jobs.

Just to add

This is the correct blacklist check for Canada

https://www.devicecheck.ca/check-status-device-canada/

You can run your IMEI checks before bringing your phones to Canada.

Quote
"The Canadian blacklist respects the blacklisted IMEIs in the US blacklist. It may take time to migrate the data. Rest assured if a device does not work in the US, it will not work in Canada"

Both links should work.

The seller has some explaining to do because they basically packaged and sold a used phone as new to you.

Why don't you check if your occupation is in demand for any province and go through pnp

My certificates are in a file somewhere. I don't think I'll ever use them. I just don't want to sha call them useless because I can't tell the future.

Hello etrange,

We soft-landed and did not wait for our PR cards. It went to our friend's address, they waited till they found someone coming to Nigeria and sent it through him.

Someone I know got hers couriered down to Nigeria without any issues.

I personally do not know anyone who has applied for a PRTD but when I was in your shoes (wondering about my options), I did check here on NL and saw that one or two NLers had successfully applied for it

@Etrange, I also eavesdropped.
Pr cards take an average of 12-16days now.
How long are you planning to stay?
I think you should risk it.

Hello,

Thanks for eavesdropping. Lol

I'd want to stay if I could but that would be against all odds. I'm yet to resign so I can only afford my December break which is just about a week long. Besides, I'll be staying in an Airbnb as I got no one in Canada so I've got the expenses to consider too.

Thanks!

Thanks a million times.

I've never had any problems with courier services in the past, I don't know why I'm suddenly paranoid as regards this.

This was very helpful. My options are clearer now.

Thanks again.
