Thank you in advance.

Yes, the primary applicant can arrive before the rest of the family. Keep in mind that they have to land before the expiration of their COPR, all the best with your endeavors.

I just checked how much I spent from January till date on buying Tim Hortons (double double) and timbits... I realized I have spent close to $500. At least $2 5 times a week on coffee and timbits.

Please who is on this table with me and how can we break this addiction? That old fashion timbits by Tim Hortons is the biggest weakness I have at the moment. Everywhere you go in Canada, Tim Hortons all up in your face.

Thank God I don’t smoke or do alcohol, if not ehn, na only God know how much those ones for Dey take as well.

Happy Sunday.

Lol I'm a Tim Hortons fan too. But what keeps me in check is looking at the calories they display on them snacks and drinks. I don't want to add weight while losing money!!!

Try POF (Plenty of fish) grin


POF kwa that thing is full of psychoblabs. Canada is boring agreed but you learn how to catch fun the oyinbo way like going to parks etc.
attend a Nigerian church, join naija associations and be open. What I learnt in canada and apart from 9ja-canadians on this forum is that oyinbo are willing to help newcomers compared to our naija brothers. There are a few good ones ooo but awon bad eggs still dey. As por POF if you're lookign for cheap sex pls go ahead. There are other ways of meeting people.

Thanks. So if medicals expire March and primary applicant lands in March, others can't land in May? I was told they can land anytime after the PA

Everybody must land before the COPR/PR visa expiry whether PA or dependants, the only caveat is PA must land alongside everyone or land first.
They can't land just anytime. Their CopR must still be valid

1. I drink coffee at Timmies but i've never gotten to $500 before.
2. Get a coffee maker or if you have coffee maker at work just buy the pods
3. Drink a cup of tea or coffee before leaving the house
4. Learn to buy just coffee no timbits
5. Limit your timmies to 1 or 2 a week and pay with cash (coming from someone that Timmies has always been at all her 3 places of employment)
6. Fast on some days of the week
7. If all these persists, please go for deliverance

Dear Family,

What do you think about landing in Montreal. I found flights with Royal Air Maroc going to Montreal, quite cheap. Meanwhile, I final destination is Saskatoon, SK.

Hope there would be no issue with landing in Montreal, especially language and also ease of connecting to a flight to Saskatoon.

Thank you.
