Hello all, pls is it advisable for a newcomer to request for 2 credit cards from 2 different banks but at the same time? Any negative consequences?

Nothing wrong with having 2 credit cards. Faster way to build your credit. However, it requires financial prudence. Don't exceed 60% of the total credit sum. Always pay the outstanding balance and you are good to go.

Many youtube videos available to help you.

If you are relocating soon, please avoid the mistake I made in booking a hotel. Book the one that will refund you at least a night. There is a facebook group you can join for up to date info

Please, landed and versatile seniors, help our ministry biko with respect to this inquiry. Personally, I've been searching everywhere in this thread with no success. As I was about giving up, I came across @Zodiacwarriors' post and that rekindled my quest. It makes it two people now who are in need of this info.

Kindly tag our posts with the exact page to go to. How I wish such info can be found on page 1 as we have in the FSW thread.

I got laid off from my job today in Winnipeg for not performing COVID screening check before entering work. It’s been a hard one gathering myself together as I’ve put all my hope in it.

Please can someone help me with referral for a job in an organization. I am available for available job roles. From casual jobs to co-operate to healthcare.

I’ve got my checks and first aid/CPR. I am available to work remotely too.

I am so sorry about your ordeal today. This must be very painful considering that you have to pay bills.

You can check Walmart career sites and UPS, and the health sector in your region just to have something that brings money in pending when you get your desired career job. I am sure you will find something; just keep hope alive.

I will try to track your moniker, if i see any available roles, will send you a PM.

Cheers!

Good evening. I have been trying to get information bout this bothering question but I have not been able to get a straight answer.

If I get my permanent residency through the Atlantic immigration pilot program or PNP, and I am fed up with living in that particular province, can I relocate to another province? If no, what are the repercussions if I decide to leave the province for another province by myself?
which province are you

Apart from the ding on your credit score from the inquiry that would be made when you apply for the card, there's really no negative consequences if you are approved and also if you utilize the cards properly as it helps you build your credit history.

If I may advise, Instead of taking a second credit card from the bank, why not consider one from either Walmart or PC financial (Superstore) or even Costco (Capital One) that way, you can either earn points or cash back as the case may be while you shop with the said card. They are usually easy to get and the limits are not high and can be easily managed.

Hello Guys,

I am trying to book a flight from Lagos to Toronto airport.

From the research I have done so far, the price tickets seems to be cheaper on Wakanow website than the airline website.

My question now is, how reliable is Wakanow for booking flight ticket ?

Has anybody had any issue booking a flight with Wakanow ?

Is it better to just book from the airline website directly ?

From the airline websites, I got the prices below:

KLM Royal Dutch: Lagos to Toronto $797 wait 5hrs in Amsterdam
British Airways $675 wait for 11 hrs in London
Ethopian Airlines N317K wait 2hrs 45 mins in Addis Ababa and Dublin
Fly Emirates N494K wait 4hrs 10 mins in Dubai
Qatar Airways $824 Wait 3hrs 10mins in Doha Qatar
Lufthansa $847 Wait for 7hrs 35mins in Frankfurt Germany
Air Canada $1107CAD wait for 3hrs55mins in Frankfurt

From Wakanow, it is cheaper than the prices above except for Ethopian airline which is close.

So which is better and safer, booking through Wakanow or directly from the airline website.

I think Sheraton Gateway does one night refund. This is for Toronto. You can search within the group for refunds to see posts/comments.

Hi - from where did you earn your PhD in economics? Do you do macro (DSGE style, i.e. solving FOC and programming models) and econometrics (replicating results in papers and producing new results)? Example - http://down.aefweb.net/AefArticles/aef210104MeiJiGong.pdf

If these are your areas and you're interested in a postdoc to work on certain projects, email: bt.devresearch@gmail.com, attaching your CV and sample paper.

Please i would like to know how feasible this is.

Same question in all the threads. grin
Quite typical!
Well, I think you should give it a try and let the house have a feedback on how it turns out if you're really desperate to go to Canada. The other alternative is to go back to each of the threads you pasted this "enquiry" and read through their page 1s and follow the DIY steps highlighted there.

Good luck.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Don't think about it too much, it is just a passing phase. Wishing you all the best in the future.

If you're up for work in customer service, try to apply to Concentrix for a work from home role, they're always recruiting.
