Me too I've been thinking about this. So it's established that milk of any sort isn't allowed.
Please how about groundnuts & cashewnuts?

You can come with groundnuts. I came with those. Transfer the groundnut to a light plastic like those eva bottles. That will weigh lesser.

Their milk is evaporated milk and affordable, not the powdered milk we are used to in Nigeria; although you can get the powered milk in African stores, it would be pricey.

I suggest you focus on your ogbono, egusi, elubo (Amala), maybe a little groundnut oil you can use while you settle in before moving around; very dried fish, Semo is available here in their regular stores (Walmart) and its 2 dollars. They also have almost similar to our kind of beans and rice is here too in their regular stores. But you can come with some beans and rice to start you up before you fully get used to the environment because you would need food, especially when you arrive from a long-distance trip.

I'm trying to find accommodation in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Don't know why I'm not getting response in kijiji, I'm probably not doing something right. Anyone with useful information regarding this please help a sister.

I live in Fredericton. Have you seen a place you like? Is the landlord number posted there? I can help you put a call to the landlord. Due to high demand for houses this period, they always prefer some assurances you will be renting their place for them to wait for you but we can try.

Are the following allowed when travelling to Canada from Nigeria?

Fried meat
Groundnut oil
Dried fish



We have plenty groundnut oil here so don't stress yourself bringing in groundnut oil. I don't think you will have problems getting past border officers with your dry fish and fried meat.

Why are you stopping at Fried meat and Groudnut oil? Why not bring in a live goat? Wouldn't that be just nice! grin
There's no goat in Canada to kill and eat o, so you really should.

Because a lot of our meat forms aren't available here: Kilishi, suya, tiko etc. Let's not even talk about taste difference between Canadian goat and naija goat, e be like say their goat na only pet fit dem lol.

Also people bring food to tide them over before they start earning in dollars. Converting naira to buy food in your first month is not easy at all and meat is expensive so if it was allowed, it's the kind of thing I'll advice someone to bring.

Hello all,
I will be coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia next week.
I will be attending Dalhousie University for my masters.
It's been hell trying to get an apartment from Nigeria.
Anyone here with an apartment (or any lead) that's available for rent in Nova Scotia? Budget is 550-600 per month.
Thank you all.
