BC is nice, no doubt about it, but like they have said, cost of living is high and jobs are not there compared to Ontario.

Fhemmmy:
Also, if you ever get caught in the middle of the Asian war, you will halla

True that. In the spirit of fair reporting, please mention the Jamaican/Caribbean or Eastern European gang wars in Toronto too 

MeNutty:
@ canuk, am coming to quebec as a student, pls can u tell me about the province and also heard that hairdressers are in high demand in Canada, someone advised to go and get a skill in hairdressing, that i can get get a part time job that pays very much with it.

Hi MeNutty - Going to an English-speaking school in Quebec? Or do you speak French? Your command of French will be invaluable to have a meaningful impact in francophone Quebec.

Visited Montreal QC severally, but never lived there.

Check out Quebec immigration website, if you have not done so already:

On a lighter note, with a name like MeNutty, you will definitely enjoy Quebec!  Dem sabi jollof life those Québécois

@canuck

What is the IT market like in Toronto, I am a Network come System Administrator and will be landing in August.

@hercules - Congrats on your impending landing in Canada. August is a great month to land - You will enjoy the heat, and experience the slow but certain descent of temperatures through fall and the freezer temperatures in winter! Exciting! LOL!

IT market is strong in Canada, and it will continue to be.

Here is the best litmus test I've found to guage the labour market - Visit www.workopolis.com (Canada's largest job site) to see opportunities in your field.

Having lived in Vancouver (for 2 years) and on the Eastern side of Canada, I can comment from experience.

Bros! You sef don waka small o!

Delta007:
I never said there were no jobs in BC, I said, "Unless you have guaranteed income (a good job, business, etc), do not move to BC. There's more to living than weather and scenery.

debosky:
I agree with Delta to an extent - cost of living IS high in BC, higher compared to many places in Eastern Canada. Having lived in Vancouver (for 2 years) and on the Eastern side of Canada, I can comment from experience. Housing costs are significantly higher than many regions of Canada.

However, it seems to be more difficult to get jobs in other fields of endeavour outside of nursing type jobs and maybe - most Nigerians who go to school in BC end up leaving for Alberta, Ontario or other regions of Canada.

However, it will be tougher to start off here compared to Toronto if you have no job offers etc.

dustydee:
I didnt see the Abuja address,do they really have one in Abuja.I am based in Abuja.

Medlabgirl:
Canuck, I am laughing my head off. Seriously I am in the kitchen by myself, and just pealing with laughter.

Ok look out for the mailman for your share of the BC Tourism money

The comic relief is on the house, F.O.C - But my eye dey that BC Tourism money o!!!

Have fun!

Rare:
@Medlabgirl;
As some folks have pointed out, career choices might not make BC first choice for some folks.

Am in Naija, but popular consensus is that oil & gas engineering professionals are better opportuned in Alberta and Saskatchewan. That might be one reason they wouldn't opt for BC.

That's right, but this thread is about BC, and the little known positives of living there.

Why not start a thread on Alberta and/or Saska-wetin?

hugooh42:
Dear poster, why did you post this letter?you have give yahoo yahoo boys another letter headed paper for use.Haba!

"Another letter headed paper" for Yahoo Yahoo Boys? I nor fit to laugh!!!!

Checkout the poster's name sef - OYINBOGOGU - If I'm not mistaken, means "Oyinbo is the ultimate fool!". That sounds like a Yahoo Yahoo boy's pseudonym or fictitious name! LOL! 

whitechriz:

What Torosidis said in Greek was, "Εσείς άτακτο αγόρι" (loosely translated "You yeye boy!" 

See? His words were kaitarized, hence, the kick-of-no-return 

190:

skyndyp:
I knew our Canuck will make headlines with this, but the problem is that people outside NL don't know the author. Thumbs up bro

Tmoni:
I dont know who started the Kaita thingy but I am deeply proud of Nigerians here that our "light humour" attempt to swallow our abysmal world cup campaign was recognised and should make others cheer up too, especially the English!!

Look no further than moi!

Gunnaz007:
what if canuck is the same person as jesse_pool on the blog bbc referenced?

canuck please clarify cos this copyright thing is damn too bad!!!!

i was so proud of canuck's coinage, but now an intellectual property thieve has taken credit for it; ain'it

Nymph node:
Lets sue them for plagiarism and copyright infringement

Don't mind this yeye jesse_pool jor!

Turns out that BBC discovered that he plagiarised the post from NL, stating "This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the House Rules."

I wish BBC's Paul Fletcher properly referenced NL though. I will unleash Sagamite on him!!! (Sagamite does not suffer incompetent journalists  )
