Hi, bridgelakes,
Nice thread you have going here. Please what is the job situation like for new immigrants in Canada. I read somewhere that workers do not get paid vacation? Is this correct? BTW, Did you go through the FSWP?
Any success stories of Nigerians you can share with us.

There are fantastic opportunities everywhere, you just need to know how to look. Many Nigerians are doing wonderfully well here in great jobs with not only paid vacations but wonderful benefits too. There are some too who are not doing so great for a variety of reasons.

GiftUg: Awesome! Pls can I have your email add, will keep in touch.

GiftUg: Tnx a lot. No family Member. Will let you know how far. What course are you there for?

honey86: You mean with the manitoba nomination program?

Yes.

GiftUg: For school, postgraduate. But wonna knw my chances when am done with school.

There are loads of students who end up staying after their programs. Do you have family or friends here? They might be able to nominate you into one of the several immigration programs available. You do need to know though, the immigration system is geared to changed quite a bit.

GiftUg: Msc Biochemistry, basically I love lab work nd research in general. What do you think?

vinci500: Thanks.

You are welcome.

honey86: Where in Canada are you?

Winnipeg, Manitoba.

GiftUg: Hi, I am actually applying to Memorial for my Msc. But my fear is job opportunities. Don't knw how its like in Newfoundland, pls any useful info? Tnx

What career are you considering?

I do know that tuition fees are significantly lower in Memorial for foreign graduate students than at Regina. And that probably accounts for the higher enrollment figures at Memorial. But Regina seems to have a higher quality of life with living cost averaging lower than most of the other provinces and territories in Canada. However i will encourage you to get in touch directly with your institutions of choice for more answers. They will be more than willing to answer you.

The weather right now is quite warm. We are heading into cooler weather as the leaves have started to turn yellow and fall off the trees. Best time to arrive in Canada.

Can we help you with any information or resource about coming to Canada? Ask.
