Please , I need someone in Canada to respond to this question.
Which is better/ cheaper traveling to Canada, buying your cloths here or leave it when you get there. Someone else told me its a bad idea to buy all your cloths here to Canada, that's it is like taking water to a river 😒

Depends on when you're coming, summer or winter?
Buy in Canada, cheap places like "value village" or "walmart". Or other places doing cheap sales.
But nothing is wasted if you buy few clothes in 9ja, so do half & half if you compare dollar to naira, Instead use the luggage space for dry foods.

Why not share the information for many to benefit rather than contacting you, just come out that you need the referral benefit. Lots of schools offer refer to earn.

I have met lots of good Nigerians here but the ones that go extra miles want something in return.
Meanwhile, there's a running scam in such schools where, in the end, both the school and the referrer just want to dip their hands into your student loan. Some of the students don't even go to school after collecting the student loan. And then, someone will now go and use the student loan to make a down payment for a house. What kind of foolery is that? You take a loan and use it to go "take another loan", so to speak. But Nigerians have never surprised me with their foolery. On the one hand, you'll be paying the student loan and on the other the mortgage. Later you will say your village people followed you to Canada and can't quit the Amazon warehouse job that you must hold to keep up payments! Crazy!

Where's your connection? Paris? If it's Paris, you don't need a transit visa.

So many Nigerians travel through Paris these days.

Saw loads of them last time we travelled to Toronto. They stood out. Rowdy and noisy.

It is remarkable. They always stand out like a sore thumb. I told my madam, I do not see that many "dudu" guys heading to Toronto from Paris. I told her, I bet you 50 bucks most are Nigerians and before you could say Jack, the screaming at the top of their voices started.

I was like, yep, baby, you owe me 50 bucks.

The japa is real but they can do it quietly.

Honestly, it's not a fault of character that Nigerians are loud. It's a consequence of a society where, if you are not loud, you may suffer unendingly and get the short end of the stick each time.

i was at a fuel station in 9ja last year during scarcity. The attendants stopped selling and their manager was instructing them on who to sell to . That was how kasala burst o. People started shouting and screaming. Something in my body woke up and made me smile. Too much quietness self like we have here self no good 🤣🤣

I know people have bad experiences about Facebook Mktplace et al but people still use them anyways and get positive result. There are red flags to watch out for and please don't make advance payment for any reason.

Alternatively, if you belong to any Nigerian group on Whatsapp it may also be helpful.

All the best dear.

I am also in this hectic wahala. I am also looking for 1bed apartment within Waterloo, Kitchener or within. Facebook market is full of scam. I wish there were a dedicated Whatsapp or Telegram group with Nigerians for assistance
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by safex(m): 2:50pm On Jul 27, 2023
No way. You can only travel to your home country (not sure if all countries sef) with an expired passport.

As long as you have Canada visa (be it visitor, study or PR) on your passport you have no problem transiting in Paris.

If you are coming with visitor's visa on a one-way ticket, you'd most likely escape Lagos but be prepared to give a detailed and convincing speech in Paris/Toronto on why you don't plan to return after your visit in Nigeria. Some people speak in tongue in lieu of the speech. Lol

Hell No!

You can’t.

I did same years ago but had to make sure I renewed my PP before returning back.

You should have planned this before you travelled to Naija.

Good people,

Need an advice on this one. So I have been accepted on a short term lease with a landord and I would like a monthly receipt of payment for rent. Landlord does not have a copy. Does anyone know how we can get one? Or if you are a landlord, how do you issue receipts to your tenants on short term leases and can they tender such a receipt in the event of reimbursement?

Kind regards.

A printed or even hand-written receipt is acceptable, as long as it is duly completed and signed by both parties.
