User support from what I know is not as strict interview wise so I wouldn’t bother with Leetcode or CTCI. Best to just focus on learning a bit about the product you’ll be supporting but I’m not an expert in the area so I can’t say for certain .

If you have any kind of technical background and some certifications I don’t think it’ll be too hard getting an entry level IT job in Ontario. might take a few months of looking though

At the end of the day it depends what you’re passionate about , if you’re passionate about it you’ll be good at it and if you’re good at it and pray and trust God ,there are jobs

Thank you very much. Very clear explanation. So the gist I'm getting is that during that period I'm on class 7, I can use my international drivers permit to drive unaccompanied.

However I saw on Albertas website that one has to submit ALL prior licences including the international permit. Will do some more research today.

Aka2003:

There is some misunderstanding. You are not allowed to have 2 drivers licenses at any time. You have to submit all prior licenses.
When you are on class 7 you[b] cannot[/b] drive unaccompanied under any circumstances.
The international drivers permit is not a drivers license.
My whole point is that you need to be aware that you cannot drive unaccompanied when you are on class 7.

I would appreciate you let the guys know that it is not an easy task to come to Canada and change your field and get a job. I know a lot of Nigerians don't want to continue with the job roles/ fields they performed in Naija. I have heard this from many with Banking/branch experience. Many recruiters and hiring managers look intently at your previous experience, especially if you're foreign trained, before considering you for an interview. They wont understand why a previous "banking officer" or 5 years all of a sudden is touting expertise in Machine learning, OOP and Web frameworks.

If you're self trained in programming or other IT fields, you have to show remarkable expertise and properly represent your projects and achievements in your profile/resume.

Also ask why they should consider a foreign trained individual for entry level positions, when most companies have co-op/internship programs and Graduate leadership training programs that get guys straight from school. Most have student loans, and companies will prefer to give them Canadian trained individuals priority so that they can pay back and also contribute to the economy by way of taxes.

PS: I'm speaking for IT and allied job roles, as this is what i know about.

I used to have this challenge until I noticed something Jeffery Way does repeatedly in his videos.

He writes the pseudo-code of what he expects to happen as comments and then implements

Palominopeaches:
Good evening everyone. Please I want to ask, what's the best way to handle one's landed property here in Nigeria before leaving? Is it better to sell it off or hand it over to someone to take care of?

maternal:


Keep it if you can. You'll need a place to stay when you comeback to visit.

Palominopeaches:


Yeah but what if it's an undeveloped land?

IykeD:


Fence it, put gate and lock it if you can but if you do not trust the area and/or people around you, you can sell it.

Guitarlife:

What language do you use ? I think you may need to reinforce your algorithm skills.
Check youtube for free beginner courses in data structures and algorithms.

You should probably concentrate on that for a month.

Programming is logic and you need to have that locked down. I also struggle with algorithms so its a continual learning process.

sos!!!! Please can someone direct me to the post where details were provided on paying for ethopian airline booking. I have 30 minutes to lock down my booking mbok; I have been searching.
Thanks to the angel in advance

19CannyMum:


Do a bank transfer to any of the numbers on their website, using your reference as transfer detail.

Then since it's urgent, send an email to ALL their Nigeria email addresses.
