Well I mentioned by AWS certs on my resume. I think you should write either CompTIA A+ or CCNA, it'll help you get interviews for IT support roles. I applied to roles mostly on Indeed. Skills necessary for it are Ticketing systems(eg ServiceNow), Active Directory, Windows, TCP/IP, DNS, Microsoft 365, SQL, etc. Just check IT support role skills(Sevice desk analyst/IT Support technician/Technical support specialist/Technical support representative/etc) on Indeed and see the most common skills.
You do not necessarily need to know all these, but have a high level overview, and be able to create good experience stories out of these technologies for your interviews. But be reminded that the interview for such roles are generally more behavioral focused than skill focused. So spend more time on the latter than the former.

In addition to what the Original Poster said, if you can get the trifecta, you can easily and quickly progress upwards and choose a pathway in Networking or Security. It's a cheat code that even those without experience use to get their foot in the door and if you play your games right with real experience in the bag, you are looking at $100k in 3-5 years. This beats ANY BootCamp out there.

Comptia A+ (Core 1 & Core 2) > Network + > Security + = Trifecta! After this, you can diversify into whatever pathway you choose with a few specialized certs. Lastly, If you were a student at some point and can still access your student email, use it to access the Comptia Acad store and get the vouchers dirt cheap, which makes the investment a lot easier. All the best!

Fair points.

Finding a vehicle was an issue. I noticed autotrader was quite scanty and different from what I knew. Kept asking and it turns out many dealerships don't advertise on autotrader. Had to contact one directly. Same also insurance- never used a broker before but had to use one. Was always used to going online and seeking out the most competitive on a market-wide comparison site.

I'd look at the brokers you mentioned before the tax year end. Looking for a dependeable but competitively priced broker with a selection of global fvnd.

Regarding mortgages, I found the undue prenium on new houses surprising. Folks will consider a 20yr old house 'old'. Hehe. I'm trying to seek out a good area and hopefully take discussions forward with a broker over winter.

On investments, I'm seeking info on the buy-to-let sector in Canada. It appears the candaian hoising market is more commoditised and easier to navigate. It's the returns that aren't as clear. Understandably, this is localised.

Regarding pensions, the folk advising me wasnt keen on RRSP which I found odd.. Still looking into this.
Do you know of good canadian based financial sites that perhaps compare fees/offerings for pension managers, brokers e.t.c or explains the financial system in clear terms?

Nothing beat the land of your birth, no place better than home.
Forget about all those people hyping abroad.
No life in abroad apart the constant light, security and currency.
Mention one persons that made billion doing business in abroad and I will mention 100 people in Nigeria that made such money ..
Imagine on Sunday morning , hearing or listening the melodious song coming from the cherubim and sapphire church .
Or the old high life songs that remind your childhood memories while traveling a long distance journey..
My life in abroad is like a priso while I will work all the day of my life payin bills ..

No freedom in abroad when you don’t have documents, running away and hidin from security every day of your life.

Two second , u might be cut and gets depoted or takenn to court where you might be charge to prisonn or get life bann .
All the money you spentt all gonee

nigerian population 230m, total japa since 2020 is not up to 5m. Which is less than 2%. Why not focus on the 225m remaining in Nigeria?

Many countries including UAE, Canada,Uk , Australia have shut the doors on many immigrants plus exchange rate wahala in Nigeria . Meaning many can no longer afford to japa or see chance to japa. Have those remaining now developed Nigeria?

Usefulsense:
If you've not read my story, go read it.

Take away from my story is don't allow people to talk you away from your plan.

If I had listened to those who told me not to send my wife abroad, I wouldn't have been where I am today.

What I have achieved and saved this one year wouldn't have been possible in 5 years in Nigeria

Afolavid:
Haha, nice to see someone from the Forest city. London was my playground before I moved to the West coast. I know the city like the back of my hand and I had most of my evergreen Canadian memories there. Are you in London South, Central or North London?

PS: found some old pics taken in London in my gallery 😆

Papilagreen:
Thank you for your opinion if they respond more intelligent than I do that fine am okay with that.
Am not here to show how intelligent I am and I never said have to look their profile because I don't have to. If they live abroad or not
All I did was give my own opinion on how I see things and I can't stand and watch them insult me for no reason.
If you don't agree with somebody they why not just say I disagree with you and say why.
Instead of calling me out disrespectfully?
You should be ways to say things out without putting out negative vibes.
Those words are for certain people and they know theirs not for the general readers. Just the ones who come and insult me because they feel disrespected by my own opinion.
I don't do well to insult or treats so if that is my flaws then I am sorry but I can't stop now I give respect to whom respect is due.

Papilagreen:
No mind them na ignorance dey worry them. Because na American film and TV and propaganda them see online make them dey talk rubbish
I was once like them. Money and luxury fall from thin air once you enter America life is good they get it all thinking mentally.
Na blind man wain dey lead blind man them all be.

Her job offer is valid so I think she's good then. Thank you

There's no where in the world that a driver will do a 20 minute pickup if it's not going to profit him. Only a fool will do that with all smiles. Drivers over there make a lot more than here with far better condition of service. The sad part is that fuel price in Nigeria is about half of what it's being sold in Ontario but fares are worlds apart from each other.

Where in Lagos will you see map that crystal clear? You may still need to pass lots of hurdle even before reaching a street next to you. So you can't blame drivers who frown at long pickups.

You should have known better as a veteran. Una wey dey live abroad have a way of being cocky and cheeky. You all just assume you have landed in heaven the moment you get there.

I was thinking this is Lagos all the while, been wondering the area that the map will be.

Pearl1910:
Typical Nigerian that has travelled abroad.
Easily throws Nigerians under the bus without considering other factors and conditions unique to us here.

PuZZyNegro:
I couldn't get the bonus yesterday because of all these useless long pickup trips.

Imagine being at Kudirat Abiola Way and Bolt is asking me to go to Isaac John to carry someone to the same Isaac John.

After voting in their emilokan and fighting off all others from coming out to cast their own votes they have decided to dump their winner and his yeye win to run away from what they helped to build.

Okay oh. No wahala. The God of karma is always one step ahead of all of una

Update about this guy.

He has refused to pick several video calls to verify his claims instead he prefers typing.

I don’t know how he got all the documents he posted earlier on but this smells like a scam. We’ve blocked & deleted him from the group.

Pearl1910:
Bro, I don't want to argue salary or ehailing income but what I want to ask is have u been told all d challenges involved in migrating and living in Canada? Cos what u said about not telling all d challenges involved in ehailing sounds childish, ridiculous and irritating.
I pray u will not cry from Canada that they didn't tell u all that's involved sha including the challenges.
Cos as a grown up man u shouldn't be sounding like this.

Raw2:
...but you're a full grown man with a penis, how do you expect to be spoonfed everything at your age? The Canada you've escaped to, are you expecting everything to be rosy and exactly as you have been told?

When challenges come in Canada, will you complain and look for who to blame in the travel section where you got your information?

Make una dey use una brain abeg
