Did anyone fly Ethiopia airline to Toronto, Canada? Please when is the advisable time to do the covid-19 test?
flight is 1.40pm, should the test be done 1 OR 2 days before the flight . I am worried we may not get the test result if done a day before
please advise based on your Ethiopian airline experience

Thank you

Get your test done a day before your departure. Make sure u get to the test centre early enough say 9am and your result would be mailed to you say 4pm same day. Ensure u print out 3 copies of the test result. Talking from my experience

If possible, do it the day before your flight. If you can, please go to Clina Lancet in V.I. I did mine there and got the test by evening.

Hello guys. I'm in the middle of my immigration process(5 months post AOR), but it's been slow due to covid impact. I am a tailor and I make menswear, majorly native wear. I wanna learn how to make women's wear before the year runs out.
My question is how lucrative is fashion designing in Canada?
Do you sew native wears there? Or you order from Nigeria whenever you wanna use one.
Do people buy ready-to-wear locally made outfit? And how often do people wear African designs?
I know it could be seasonal cos of winter.
Lastly, is it a business that can be done from home? Thanks so much smiley
I aspire to study to become a nurse in Canada, but I just love this fashion stuff. Hopefully I'd be able to manage both together.

Once your design is cosmopolitan in nature and you have reasonable access to getting materials from Nigeria, you will do well. Clothes generally have been in low demand due to lockdowns and lack of parties but with time the demand might surge back. Go for it!

Don't let anyone tell you something is impossible. If you will enjoy and can be creative with your fashion designing, by all means you should do it. You could become the first person to set a trend that many will love. The most important thing is that you derive satisfaction from even the small wins. From my side, I would say you should definitely give it a go. The Nigerian community in Canada is growing at such an accelerated rate that even CAD is becoming expensive now. In 10 years, all things Nigerian will be in greater demand. I wouldn't be in the least surprised if this includes Nigerian fashion. There never used to be many African stores by Nigerian. But these days, with the continuing influx of Nigerians, African stores by Nigerians are popping up left, right and center. Who knows what Nigerian thing will be in demand in a few years. So, please do it!

Hello everyone,

Special greetings to the gurus in the house.
I am in dire need of assistance. Here is a background story.

So I graduated with a CGPA of 4.02 from the department of petroleum engineering (B.Engr.). I just concluded my NYSC service this year 2021 and I have no work experience.
I would love to further my education in Canada through P.G program in a lucrative engineering field in which employment opportunities are not a difficult task in terms of securing one. I also don't want to further my education strictly on the path of petroleum engineering.
I have been able to secure my transcript from my school and have also gotten it verified by WES.

*HERE ARE MY PROBLEMS*
• I don't know what course to go after.
• I don't know the schools that are still open for admission for 2022 academic year.

I was told that colleges are preferable if you are looking to try to gain experience (especially through Co-op)but I don't know which colleges that can offer me that opportunities right now. My admission process is sponsored by a relation who says I have to find a school for 2022 section or I won't be sponsored again.
I was directed to this trend to find information in regards to lucrative engineering jobs with high employment rates.
Please any one who can help me out in anyway is highly appreciated. Please every advice and directions I can get would be helpful.

Thank you all and God bless.
