Hi meetchandus, I just saw your mention. I'm sorry.
I live in Uplands, in the north end too.

I dey greet una from Regina, unu dey follow me flex cold abi? Please an important question for those based in Saskatchewan, is anyone aware of any thing like Saskatchewan Family Health Benefit? I got a letter from Canada Revenue Agency informing us that we are qualified to apply based on the income we reported on our income tax return. Are PRs eligible to benefit from this or do one need to be careful. Thanks

God bless you bros. I appreciate your time

I dont know much about ottawa but I strongly doubt that it has just as much construction jobs as Calgary, even with the economic downturn Alberta is passing through. Another thing is Ottawa is bilingual, so the CM job you manage to find may require you to be able to read docs in both french and english. The survival job your friend said is readily available isn't enough reason to move over there. Inshort, if even survival jobs are competitive in a canadian city I live in, then I'd rather go back to Nigeria and continue my career. If you arent picky, calgary should be able to at least avail you a survival job. If he were talking Toronto Vs Calgary, it would make sense cos at least you know you also have a good chance to find a CM job in Toronto while managing the survival job.


As for the city like lagos bit, I dont know where people get that from. It is true that Toronto is the lagos of Canada but this doesnt mean that life in Toronto is same as life in lagos, except you mean the saner parts of lagos ie the likes of V.I. If you arent living in downtown Toronto, the city can easily feel too slow and quiet for a wannabe lagosian. The socalled mad traffic here is the sanity lagos prays for. Canadian cities rarely have anything in common with lagos, except high cost of living. Of course, some canadian cities are much more calmer than some, so Toronto in comparison to other Canadian cities is Lagos but for someone straight out of naija it isnt, at worst you'd say its like Abuja.

After 36hrs of Travel, Calgary I am soooo pleased to finally meet you. I am a very nice guy with my family of a sweet wifey and lovely kids. Canada, be nice in return ok.

She (Canada) is soooooo beautiful people!

Whatever stage you are on the process, i wish you the best.

The fulfilment that comes after you've landed is that of accomplishment.

Alhamdulillah for His mercies.

Goodluck and bye for now

Congratulations. Can't wait to land too. Goodluck in your new home!

Happy new year all. I didn’t want my landing gist to have part 1 & 2; hence I waited for it to be almost complete.

Hello Sis, please I sent you a pm. Kindly respond. Cheers.

Hailings o! To my landed seniors, please how does one book airbnb from Nigeria using our regular bank account?

Hi @Fresty, I just booked an airbnb apartment just few days ago. The process is straight forward and seamless. Once you see an apartment, click on 'booking' or 'request a booking', then you will be taken to a different page where you create your profile and upload your ID and picture, that's if you don't have one yet. Once your host/landlord approves your reservation, Airbnb will send you payment instructions. Just input your normal Nigerian debit card details and the naira equivalent of the amount will be deducted from your account, your receipt sent to your e-mail.

lol..take solace in the fact that you have been saved from the cold.

Yes. Pmp is more accepted in Canada/N.America. Very few organization will list prince2 as a substitute to Pmp. We accept both in my place of work, but a candidate with a prince2 will get bumped for one with pmp when it comes down to one person getting the pm job.
Most core project management positions will not ask for a particular degree. Note "core PM positions" e.g like a PM team for an IT project or PM team for lean improvement projects; however, some construction or engineering jobs or IT jobs will still require the prerequisite engineering or computer science degree, and Pmp ceetification will just be an added bonus. These kind of roles will often encounter projects on their jobs, but their engineering skills and regulatory requirements is of more importance than PM skills.

So whether your degree matters or not will depend on the kind of job you are looking for. There are project management consultancies that send contractors to work term projects in companies all over Canada, for this types of jobs, your degree title would hardly matter.

Thank you for the insight

How do you know they are FX trader. Did they show you a license to provide such services. Are you certain the source of money is clean?

Please whoever is considering converting naira or dollars to CAD, please use the Banks. Dem no dey talk this thing twice.

Chief, stop hounding me please. You can make your points cleanly without resorting to alarms.

There are no laws in Canada against peer-to-peer currency exchanging; neither are there laws that mandate anyone to have a licence before exchanging foreign currency with friends or neighbors. In fact, these forms of p2p or Airbnb-like exchanging/lending are now taking sizable business away from banks because they are faster and the fees are lower.

As regards whether the source of the money is clean or not, that's not a point I discussed. That's why you deal with someone who's trustworthy. Maybe you need to read my initial post to see that I mentioned that. Not every Nigerian is a terrorist or money launderer. There are those who want to simply exchange their hard earned foreign currency with a more convenient form of currency.

Thank you very much. I was worried I'll need a dollar account. I'm relieved. Will try it and report back here.

Hi Salford could you please explain a bit more on the bold sentence and please state some companies that are project management consultancies. Thanks.

Don't know if this is the right thread for it, but the federal government is trying a new immigration pilot project to help gets immigrants into rural communities. Perhaps this may be good for people who can't get or afford the skilled worker route ? A nice read.
