Pls can you explain what you mean by he is the principal application and ... he may take her out?

There is an exception to every rule and if she is a victim of domestic violence. They can never tell her to return to Nigeria. I'm not sure if that's what you mean. People need to behave themselves

SunshineD1:


She means when they were in Nigeria, the wife had to be cajoled to be patient and tolerate the husband since he is the PA, so he won't yank her from the application. Now they are in Canada, she prays he doesn't misbehave again or the wife might just flip her lid and the man own go kpafuka

So I see this often posed as serious fact on many platforms that this easily happens. However, being here for almost 2 years has shown me a different reality. There isn't a shortage of qualified immigrants willing to take on these jobs however it is tough and there are protocols that should be met before looking outside the shores to hire internationally.

And that is why it is very rare to find someone who told you they got a job from the Canadian Job bank. I would put more focus on looking for ways to get here and then get a job, of which they are many waiting to be filled. Here's an official link of information on hiring foreign workers and supporting their immigration to Canada.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/hire-foreign-worker.html

Also, don't join the bandwagon of people who say jobs are hard to come by. This is a different country to what we are used to and it's no wonder things are also done differently.

One key advice I'll give to aspiring immigrants and those waiting for the borders to open to come here is to learn how things work here. Don't take the newcomers' programs for granted. They are available for registration for a reason. Now if you haven't met the benchmark to come through Express Entry that's one thing entirely but now even more than before, Canada needs immigrants and is creating diverse ways to ensure people get in and help the aging workforce.

It's best to ask yourself some key questions before leaving Naija and how best you honestly answer those questions will be to your benefit.

Advice on Jobs:
1. Buy courses on MOOC platforms like Udemy and Coursera relevant to the field you're looking to work in. Finish those courses and package your profile with them carefully on LinkedIn.
2. If you've already gotten your CoPR and have bought tickets, change your location on LinkedIn to Canada. That way you can use the coming months before you arrive to build a solid network (This should not be underestimated). What we call Man-know-Man in Naija is also known as Networking here in Canda but without the Nepotism. Before you ask of Racism, Canada cannot be compared to the US, and overall how you carry yourself here professionally matters.
3. I got a job through my Naija network (WhatsApp Group). I swore I would come here and avoid some Naija entities but ended up meeting very well-behaved Nigerians here and through the group, a Job posting gave me my first job, paid way more than I ever got in Nigeria. A little percentage of us bring our razzness here, but they are easily put in place by well-meaning people.
4. If and when you ever get the chance to attend any interview here, please give it your best shot. These guys here love 'Packaging'. For every role you're trying to explain you can handle, please give relatable examples drawn from your previous experience or work from wherever you are coming from.
5. Give your first decent Job 6 months to a year before moving on to something more appropriate or what we Naija will call 'On our level'. Also do not despise humble beginnings here.

I know this answer went off a bit from the original question but in a nutshell, these are my thoughts on Jobs and looking to come here to work. Both ways, these still apply.
I have a YouTube channel now and I'll try to highlight in my videos some of the concerns here. If YouTube is your thing and you'd like to see more of Calgary, Alberta, and hear candid opinions to some of your questions, please Watch, Like, and consider subscribing to the Channel.

As a muslim, is it possible to marry four wives or bring my 4 wives with me to Canada ?

Jejebabaa:

I doubt anyone will do this for you on a faceless forum, you need to contact those that trust and know you personally. A lot of people suffered for sth they did out of help. Illegitimate money and funds being deposited into someone's account by "picker" , fraudsters and yahoo guys has taught a lot of people lesson.

I believe simultaneous polygamy is illegal. However serial polygamy is okay, so you can simply marry them one by one (though you must divorce one before marrying the next)

As for bringing 4, unfortunately your application only allows for one spouse.

Hello house, has anyone tried to renew or renewed their Nigerian passport recently at Ottawa? Are they open? Is there a specified number of pages like 32 or 64 available at the moment?

Jejebabaa:

Ok thanks for your response. I am just curious how the wealthy Arab Princes are doing it when they move to Canada and USA or is there special privilege and status for them.
