I read the PMBOK then used an App, CAPM Pocket Prep to study. It is MCQS and you can tailor it to topics. I initially used the trial version but I bought the full version eventually. I think it was very helpful to me in passing the exams.

Pls can anyone provide link or contact for sending things from Toronto to Nigeria. Thanks

Hello all complement of the season. Has anyone invested in REITS on this platform in Canada? If yes, please share you knowledge on it especially the risk. I'm working towards building a diversified investment portfolio.

If you also know other safe and risk free investment please share your thoughts. Thanks.

Gbamsolutely, you nailed it. Its better to take a pay cut and move to the same country with ur family. It's the sacrifice we do for family if truly the person values his family more than his job. Funny enough, some wives are the one advising the husband to stay put in Naija and be wiring the money to them abroad that they need the money to secure their future and that of their kids. What a selfish mentality from the spouse in my own opinion. What is the essence of life if you cant spend that quality life with ur loved ones and be physically present in their life.

“”It’s the sacrifice we do for family if truly the person values his family more than his job”

I enjoyed the conversation between you guys. However, it is wrong to assume that just because the hubby is in Nigeria earning cool cash while wife is in Canada with kids means the hubby does not value family. What we see on the outside is the huge pay and we easily conclude that is why they are apart or the hubby values money or job more than the family. So wrong!
We don’t have information on other factors that made such families take that decision. Let’s be slow to judge and understand that our personal opinion on family values, as good as it is, does not make it the rule.

It will surprise you that some families are better off living apart. This is a discussion for another day.

In all, every family should do what works for them. Our opinion of what life/ family should be varies and should be respected. Shalom.

Hmmmmn, you have a point though but in reality it's more difficult for families to be countries apart. I was in that shoe and I almost had a broken home if not God that saved my home and made my wife caught me before it got worse. Probably I would have gotten another lady pregnant and have a secret child. Mehn, that mistake could have been the biggest regret of my life. I am so thankful to God that made my wife found out so early before it got worse and since then the family bonding became stronger and put structures in place to avoid such occurrence. It will amazed you to know of so many "responsible" men who had secret children outside without the legal family knowing about it not until the man died. Excessive space between families breeds temptation as long as blood flows thru our vein. Even the bible said, he that thinks he stands should be watchful.
Even pastors and imams are not left out in this mess destroying homes.
It's even worse in Naija as ur work colleagues/families sees it as normal to cheat to tell you how our family values has been eroded.

Nigerian men are some of the most unfaithful men in the world. You should let them be away from you more than 5 months at a time except there are a are Pastor or Imam.

You should look into TFSA with Questrade. That way you can put your money in index funds like Vanguard.

Please stop this generalization. It is ideally and logically wrong. If you don't have empirical evidence(s) to support your claim, then don't post this kind of comment.

Uglyaddy:


Only if you know how i hate stereotypical comments.
What you wrote there sound so childish.
How old are you please?

Markab:
Mehn... it's been a while my people. I cant believe I've not been here for the past 1 year.

Vanhooijdonk:

I made the judgement based on the people I know around me. I should not have made that generalization.

Boss13:


Its laudable to admit error. Stereotyping is wrong and encourages bias opinion. It is this same behavior that breeds racism and hate. I'm glad you noted you should not make such statement.

Hi Everyone, I was assigned any group A Computer Exam by the Professional Engineering body evaluating my degree in Canada for professional designation. My goal is to take the Electronics Exam which is the 17-Comp-A1 organised by PEO. I had the opportunity of taking any A exam but I was hoping to go for this with the notion that I might have someone taking similar exam. Is there anyone in the house who is preparing for their Assigned technical Exam by the Professional Engineering designation that might want to link up or if there is anyone taking this specific exam who might want to be a study partner or link up on this group to enable us share materials, knowledge and move forward together. PEO organizes the Exams on behalf of all provinces and the next batch of exams is in April. Help from Seniors or people also who have gone this route will be appreciated.
PS: It's been over 10 years since I have done Electronics as a course in school so I am very rusty and i am looking for all the help I can get.

Brief commentary on your stay so far would be a greatcway to reflect and enrich the thread. Thanks in advance.

Markab:
Na true you talk. Although nothing much has changed since my post landing message early 2018. I took up another job offer in Sept 2019 and relocated to Toronto from Hamilton. Well, Wifey completed her MESc from Western Uni and we both live happily together in Toronto, Etobicoke precisely.

Trying to make some new friends around here and if any one on the thread lives around here, It would be a great pleasure to connect
