Lucas4903: I've been of the opinion that people should stop talking "about Canada" but talk about their particular province or region where they live. Canada is bigger than the whole of West Africa if I'm right. You can't be living in Sabo-Yaba and be talking about Cameroon or Ivory Coast. I've only lived in Mississauga and Milton since my arrival, and worked in Toronto, what gives me the authority or audacity to talk about even Oshawa in the same Ontario, not to talk or Quebec or Manitoba that is three hours away from where I am by flight. I've always turned people down when they ask me to tell them about "Canada". I can't tell you about Canada. Canada is nine times bigger than Nigeria. I can only speak about my experience based on where I've lived, stay or work. 37 Likes 1 Share |

I am just like you. Heading to Ontario. Final Decision. I may not know much about Canadian Jobs yet but as a colleague also starting my licensing process with NCA and planning to do a Paralegal Course, I can tell you that Paralegal is also a regulated profession in Ontario. I don’t know about Alberta. So it might be tough to find a Paralegal job in Ontario as one who doesn’t have the required license. You may look into Law office Assistant while you write your Exams. My too cents. kingkhalil: 2 Likes 3 Shares |

Please is there any WhatsApp or telegram group page for those in Ontario cities? I need some help settling. Will land this February as a PR and need some information regarding accommodation. Please kindly share the group link if you have any. Thanks 2 Likes |

kingkhalil: I am also torn between the two. I'm an accountant. I have booked my ticket to Calgary and decided that I will make a decision at some point on if I will just end my trip in Toronto as the flight passes through Toronto. But if I continue on to Calgary, since cost of living is cheaper, I will not lose much to book a flight back to Toronto if all the interviews are there. I will book airbnb for only two weeks in whichever location and move if required. That means my cargo items need to wait a month or two till I am sure of my permanent location and I will not get permanent accommodation until I am certain. 4 Likes |

What are my chances of making it here by next year. Then I would have completed my PhD. I would also be 31 by then. I'm thinking of coming in as a Lecturer or HSE officer because of NEBOSH. Also which will be easier provincial nomination or main express entry. I'm also single. 1 Like |

mikkyphp: I have ACCA so I intend to convert to CPA. Why not Calgary? Lower cost of living, more chilled lifestyle, open spaces etc. I can live in city centre and not have long commute like from GTA to Toronto downtown. All based on research sha. At the end of the day, I really don't know for certain where I will end up. I have about a month to decide. Any ideas for what else to consider? 1 Like 1 Share |

Depends on ambition. Do you want to run things and rub shoulders with the best? Bigger pay and prestige? Or you're just OK with making a living and living a chilled life? The choice is yours... Commute isn't a big deal, 35mins train from Mississauga to Downtown Toronto. All this talk about lower cost of living is relative and a trade-off with competitive pay and unlimited opportunities. Enjoy...If you choose Ontario, hit me up make i buy you 2 bottles of your favourite when you land... Everygirl: 5 Likes |
