Hi Amaky,

Thank you very much for opening this thread as a means of helping folks. I am coming to Winnipeg in a few weeks on a PR visa with my family And I will need your help on a few questions

- How is the weather like in October?
- What bank and telecoms service provider will you recommend?
- I see you have mentioned starting out on any job. I personally don't mind as long as it can pay my bills. How easily is it to go about the job search?
- What is the average cost of a 2 bedroom apartment?



Thank you. I still have a few other questions but I will stop for now.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for this valuable info. I will be landing in Winnipeg In a few weeks, pls do you mind if I PM You?

Congratulations on moving to Canada. I wish to advise newcomers concerning jobs and settling in Canada. The truth is the current reality of most people who migrated is not what they expected when they decided to migrate.
After landing some people land their dream jobs while for others it takes a while. If you don't get your dream job please try to take up survival jobs because you have bills to pay. If you decide to take a survival job please continue to pursue your dream job and DO NOT SETTLE.
One mistake that our people make is that they start making long term decisions such as car financing, mortgages while working menial jobs. What happens is that they are stuck and cannot take the courses they need to get their dream jobs.
A lot of people are unhappy here, bank manager working as home support worker or cashier when we have people from other countries who did not have education at all coming here to take professional jobs after going to school.
Don't rush to buy house and brand new car when you know you still have a long way to go. Nobody cares what you wear, whether you drive. No one cares. Build yourself up to where you want and then you can eat the fruit of your labour in peace.

By the way I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Good day all,

Please I need information on winter in Winnipeg. Is it advisable to land in winter? I have little kids and I'm concerned on landing in winter?

Happy Canada Day to all Nigerians in Canada and Canada hopefuls still in Nigeria. As God lives, all our dreams shall come true in Jesus name. For us still in Nigeria, we shall be part of the next celebration in our dream land.

I got my visa and copr. I bless God for the successful closure. Not planning to leave Naija till early 2018 though. Thanks everyone, may all our dreams come true.

One thing is clear. That branch is not opening any time soon. Not sure whether is even profitable operating the branch in the first place. Any smart dude with a couple of POS who can arrange an about #1m cash per day from the nearest town can make cool money this period o. Agency Banking to the rescue.

Thank you for sharing your experience Vcole. Best wishes for you and your family as you settle in. Please as much as you are chanced, kindly give us updates on your settling in and we hope to learn a few things from you.

God's Blessings.

I do not currently live there, but cost of living is definitly cheaper..most likely one of the cheapest popular cities to live in. Job prospect would depend on the industry you are looking at. e.g you would hardly find investment banking jobs or say very high level technology in a place like Winnipeg, but you would find the regular healthcare, IT and /accounting/finance, agriculture, sales e.t.c all popular. Some of these jobs are even more well paying than in bigger cities. You can google to find more info specific to your career of choice.

Thank you Salford. I appreciate

Please who is in Winnipeg? What are the costs of living like in the city ? What are the job prospects like? Which industry is the most active in terms of jobs? Kindly assist with these information and more on Winnipeg.
Thank you.

Hundreds if not thousands of Nigerians go through this route in obtaining U.S. permanent residency and citizenship. It is called arrangee. No be today things jare. But she wasn't smart at all with hers.

There is an express entry thread. I'm sure you will get that information there. Here is not for express entry. Thanks for stopping by.

Good evening Seniors in the house.. Please can you help with the breakdown cost of what the whole process of canada express entry will cost excluding ielts.. For a family of four.. Hubby and I with two kids. Thanks

Since he didnt import, then he's not the owner. The car should be forfeited to govt.

But no car, bags, phones are allowed near that embassy

Let's keep this thread alive please. Where are our landed seniors? Please share your experience with us.

Nice information here, at least the first two pages. Unfortunately, the thread has started derailing because of questions not related to the thread. It will be nice if we stick to the purpose of this thread and other questions posted to other threads meant for such.

Way to go. Long overdue.

When the school finally resumes, many ladies will come back heavily pregnant. Watch out

Bros, what year did you finish and what department. That six months national ASUU strike was the longest in the history of lautech. Unfortunately this has broken the record.

See my alma mata .

Reminds me of those days we used to stage outside the main gate on the highway. There was a time in 2003 when the skool went on a 6 months strike. Boys just go find job anywhere they could while they waited for ASUU to call off the strike. It was during this period my web design skills began.

Is that his wife by his side?

I passed through that express on Christmas eve and on 27th December and I can confirm that a lot of progress has been made on that road. World class expressway for the parts that have been completed. Julius Berger need to expedite work on the Lagos-Shagamu end of the road though. RCC is doing great so far.

He's the worst thing to have happened to this country after boko haram. If we have a more competent CBN governor, then the oil shock wouldn't have bitten us this hard. This coupled with his lack of professionalism and patriotism displayed in the recent past when he literally opened the CBN vaults to politicians is enough reason to axe him.

The GMAT used for employment purpose is different from the GMAT the op is referring to. Employment GMAT is simple and not to be compared to the business school required GMAT.

The main challenge with Nigerian candidates is that we are not used to standardized test and as such it's kind of strange and difficult.

Another challenge with gmat is the data sufficiency questions. Anyone who can master and do well in data sufficiency will do well in the quantitative aspect of gmat. The quantitative part is the most difficult anyway.

And like the op said, you have to take as many preparation tests as possible. You can be sure your scores in the prep tests is a reflection of what you will score in the main exam.

My final advice to anyone who want to write the GMAT, please get the most recent official guide and use it for your preparation. That was my own undoing. I did not use the official guide while preparing and I paid dearly for it. I want to write it again but I can't summon the mental strength to prepare.

Gmat is tough but it is surmountable.

By the way I scored 560.

Sincerely this country needs an hard reset. We can't continue patching things up. These people are greedy. They have NDDC, NigerDelta ministry, 13% derivation and various interventions from the IOCs. What has become of all these? Yet they want more.

President Buhari, please give them 100 percent and sit back and see how they will destroy themselves.

Banks need to take the issue of fraud seriously. I don't know the essence of BVN if all these fraudsters cannot be traced. The fraud desks in banks should be collaborative and help stop these fraudsters.

Please ensure your dad is okay and he doesn't dwell too much on this. God shall restore his loss.

La Campagne is 95 kilometers from Ozumba Mbadiwe, meaning the location of this property will be about 100km from Ozumba.

God bless the Nigerian Army. Thank you for all the sacrifices so we can live in peace.

Thanks all for the interest.
