Construction profession is best for you, depending on the lifestyle you want, but make sure you join one of the trades unions like locals 183 (residential constructions), 506 (labourers construction), 27 (carpenters union), 79 (heavy equipment/crane operators), 793 (plumbers union), 353 (electricians union) and so on.
The good thing with construction is that once you are union member, you don’t need all these resumes and will never be scared of loosing your job if you decide to take a long vacation. As a unionized construction worker, you get paid well and get most benefits for yourself and family that most other profession don’t get. Benefits like medical, dental, physio, travel insurance, partial scholarships for your kids, optical and others I can’t think of now, but them plenty. You even get benefits for marijuana if you’re into weed too, provided you have a doctor’s prescription. You can decide to work 6-8 months in a year and use the remaining 4 months to do other things/business if you like. It gives you flexibility like mad. Some people work 8 months during the warmer months and go on EI during the winter months.
And once you have your red seal or journeyman permit in construction, you can even work in the US.
Thank you for your input

Hello family, I am demoralized right now and I need advice. Got my Ielts test results today, dunno if a remark will Favour me�
You can decide to go for a remark since both writing and speaking are subjective.

Chin up! It's a phase many of us went through. I did the exam four times and now I'm sitting gallantly in Canada.
The important thing is not to give up

Hello fam.... Please can anybody help me with this issue.
The date of birth on a friend's transcript is different from the one on all his other documents (NIN, PASSPORT, ETC) He wants to do WES and our contact with the school is saying that changing it not possible. Please any suggestions on what can be done. Thanks
An affidavit will take care of it. Your friend can go to a court to get it done. Nothing to worry about .

Why is it different though?

Yes, for women, getting married is securing the bag. It’s what it is. I didn’t make the rules. Just telling it as it is. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be tons of YouTube channels of female Nigerian immigrants out there, nor would there be countless nights of incessant tears as they contemplate their missed chances and bungled romances. It’s what it is.
Really?

Food is about some of the cheapest things you can buy in Canada. I know that because I've lived in many cities. Even if you don't work and are living on your POF, you don't need more than $50 to shop for food for the week and you can make enough food to last two weeks. The problem with our Nigerian brothers and sisters is that when they want to eat Indomie, they want to eat indomie from Nigeria which is available at exorbitant prices at African store. Sometimes its price is more than 5x the regular indomie you can buy at walmart. How that is any special than that regular indomie, I don't know. Same thing with chicken. Chicken o! They want to eat the chicken from African store. When will they learn that it is not sustainable to continue to subsist on the kind of food you were eating in Nigeria? If you are in Rome, you behave like the Romans.
So, why won't their money finish quickly?

The brighter point is that many of them eventually pivot to Canadian brands, but not after wasting away their money on Nigerian indomie. It typically takes them about 6-8 months or so before they start seeing it is unsustainable to be craving Nigerian indomie. For some, it takes years. Years of wasting away hard-earned dollars. And when they finally move to way cheaper chinese indomie, they see there is not even that much difference. You can replace indomie with whatever you want. But why does it have to take that late to figure things out and spend more wisely in a new environment? There is a reason the whole Canada is not shopping at African store.

let's not excuse ma.d behaviour. Survival is often dependent on how you adjust fast. Thinking you are still privileged and wanting to live the Nigerian life when you are in Canada is one of the worst things that can happen to you. There is no reason that should be encouraged.
$50 for a week? grin grin grin

Wonderful

Na the same Canada you dey talk about?
Family size nko. Even a single person will spend more than $50 for one week worth of food. Please leave people to do what they want. Na their money.
