Hi Guys, please need your help URGENTLY. I'm a prospective September student of CONESTOGA COLLEGE. I have applied for form A to pay my tuition since June 8 and still no dollar.

Kindly advise on the alternative way I can pay

Does the school have an account detail that someone in Canada can.pay directly into?

Is there any Conestoga alumni that can advise or someone that has a solution.

Thanks.

Hello there, I have a student who needs to rent an apartment in Gatineau. This person has been looking for months with no success. I'm wondering if anyone here can help and act as a guarantor. To demonstrate how serious I am about this, I will pay you for your services.

Facebook market is a very good option; it might take a bit of time but with determination there are definitely options out there. Been in this position myself in Gatineau

Honestly… you can’t get a rough estimates as the timeline is disorganized. 2 people are still waiting after 3 month ish.. another got it after 2 months.

Your COPR is enough for things you need to do that requires your PR card.

Airport will rip you off, except you have pressing need of CAD for taxi, then you can change maybe a maximum of 50USD at the airport. the best bet is your bank. When you go to open an account, ask them for the best rate of the day. they usually have about 3 rates with only 1 shown on their website. At the bank, the staff has the ability to give you the best rate of the day especially at the point of opening an account with the bank.

You can do wire transfer from Nigeria.
Buy black market dollars and deposit into a Nigerian Domiciliary account. Then initiate foreign funds transfer in the bank with same bank details you submitted for Form A.
If I may, which bank did you process form A with?

thank you very much


All you will need to do is to walk in a school for enrolment. Most likely the school board will recommend to enrol him in a school near your home address. But it isn’t always the case.

Will your 5 year old be 6 by the time you land ?
If he will be less than 6, you will have to enroll him in kindergarten which is also free

You don't need to have any money to open an account. I opened mine with 0 CAD, though I later funded my account with e-transfer for my use, but the actual account opening is at no cost.

What exactly are you trying to insinuate? Is 65k too much or too little for the Credit Analyst role at TD? Please could you make your statement/position less ambiguous?

You don't need to look too far. 65k is about right for a credit analyst at TD. Glassdoor confirms the same. Many managerial roles in commercial Canadian banks are just about 90-100k gross, if you are lucky.

Hey @ednut1, it has been a long time. I am glad to see that you are still on here.

In 2009 I took a job as a credit analyst (processing credit cards applications) in one of the major American banks with an extension in Canada.(Citibank).
Citibank have few extensions in Canada known as Citi Financial, Citicards Canada .... I was working for Citicards Canada.
The pay was $15/hour (close to 30K/year) for a credit analyst at that ime. But, given that I was bilingual I was making $17/hours (close to 34K/year).

I am surprised that the annual income of a credit analyst to be 65K in today market (more than the double of what it used to be back in 2009).
Adding to that, I know people working for TD bank in different department with wages ranging from 40K to 50K. That is why I was expecting a credit analyst at TD to be making about the same.

In any case, I am happy for @slydog for getting a 65K credit analyst job at TD. And good luck to him.
