Boss13:
If you don’t want to do a Masters, then don’t do it. You can qualify for EE with your BSc. Don’t throw money into something you are not keen on doing. Skills acquisition is more better than going for a Masters. Many Canadians don’t do Masters - additional expense. Also, after finishing your Masters and the struggles involved, you still earn what a BSc holder or even less earns.

In the short run because you might have not amassed complimentary experience which the BSc holder may be paid for, as soon as you acquire requisite knowledge/experience, you climb to levels the BSc holder may never be able to get to.. A Masters' degree will allow you earn equivalent or more with the right job what a college graduate with over 6+ years experience in same industry will earn.. Canadian education is very essential in the Canadian space..

Hello people, need your advice.

Is it advisable to go to Driving school when I am planning to land in Canada by end of November by God's grace? Because I don't see the possibility of getting a Driver's license before leaving Nigeria.

Kindly tell me the pros and cons of taking a month driving lesson in Nigeria. Don't want to waste my shikini money that I can invest on winter jackets

If you haven't driven before, going to a driving school in Nigeria will be advisable but wouldn't be all sufficient in Canada as the rules are different, road signs are way apart and the way to getting drivers license in Canada is provincial based and varies.

Why then should you go to a driving school in Nigeria should be your next question?

It will familiarize you with what a car is, at least if you don't know what a car is.. Lol... they will show you the gear stick, the brakes and the accelerator/fire(Nigeria), gas pedal(North America), you will have opportunity to also begin driving no matter how little it may be, its even better as you will be learning as a rookie and wouldn't have mastered the bad habits of road users abundant in Nigeria before arrival, that is to say you will be very redeemable on arrival from the few you might have picked up while learning in Nigeria.

Having said that, while you will still require at least like 10 hours drive lessons before your road test which may be a minimum of 8 months after you land(assuming Ontario, and assuming you will be writing your G1 test the same month of arrival which is advisable ) you will be more easily teachable with the background knowledge gotten from the Nigerian drive school.

Did I remember to say getting your winter jackets is not negotiable, even pilots normally have to get jackets... lol

Don't take the pun serious, take the message serious tho..

bro sorry to ask. does this 14kCAD include books nd all per yr. or after d 14k u will still spend on books nd other fees..

Lecture slides are always provided by most professors and some take the pain to even write on the board if it is their style.. Any textbook required will be in the school's library or something you can download online. Data is not a problem as your school and the house you will live in will cater for that... Having said that, go to the Travelling to Canada students' thread on Nairaland for continual inquiries and heads up.. As you can clearly read since you have a bachelors' degree, this thread is for immigrants... (no vex, na joke i dey for the last sentence tho)

Hi!
For job opportunities, I will use this analogy, Missi is like "Lagos Island" while Brampton is "Lagos mainland". You can deduce that right
For accommodation, I live in Brampton and I can tell you that it's really peaceful.
For Transit system, Brampton and MIssi kinda run a joint transit which kinda makes it so easy.
Hope that helps!

I beg to differ Sir/Ma on the "kinda joint Transit", Mississauga uses the Mi way and Brampton uses ZUM, If only you are talking about the provincial Go Transit ( to include bus and train) that navigates some cities in the province...

Unu goodmorning, my landed seniors are yet to give answer to my question, please help a brother. At the point of packing my bags. I want to find out if they allow one carry stock fish, dry fish, and palm oil. Please sure response will be appreciated. And I hope we have some Reginians in the house so we can connect.

Stock fishes and dry fishes are allowed but Palm Oil is not... You may bother less about Palm Oil tho as they are readily available in the African stores around at fairly affordable prices.. say %L for about !5-25 bucks based on Ontario rate... Other provinces' rates may differ.

Best way to pack your fish may just be to put them inside of your garri or wrap them in newspaper and then tie them in nylon bags...

The job prospect for an Engineer with Lean Six Sigma certification at the minimum Black Belt level was excellent about 10-15 years ago when I ventured into it. While currently, the prospect may not be excellent but it is still VERY GOOD and I would advice you to consider it as an Engineer. Infact, that certification was what paved the way for me into management roles. My first two posts on this Nairaland platform in 2006 was about Lean Six Sigma. See the posts here:

https://www.nairaland.com/10173/six-sigma-black-belt-career#279217

Uncle, Nice job detailing Engineering prospects across board, the Oil and Gas and Steel manufacturing sectors seems to interest me, I have been on the look out at some openings in some of the plants in Hamilton and if you don't mind, I will require some advises from you. I checked the Maple foods Black Belts program and only realized that they are only willing to get on board 5+ years experience guys..

I will do you a dm now for onward conversation, I will appreciate your reply Sir.

You may not read from Part 1, Take a chill pill, lick on some ice cubes and just go to page 0 of this PART 4 and digest that properly... While digesting the page zero, you may just decide to follow the thread from this page and strategize reading up to this point

Don't fret if it seems you do not understand from here as you read, take time most importantly to acquaint yourself with the abbreviations, when you do the suggested, you are on your way to becoming your own boss

Thank you....I am doing it in Abuja. So is the passport details segment from EE profile locked too when you receive ITA. Am just trying to avoid any complication with my application. Or should just wait for my new passport to be sorted before seeking for ITA?

The decision is solely yours to make, whether you wanna use the new Passport or the old one. Don't break a sweat about it because you will have to include the information pages of both passports in the same place holder of the Passport page. This is just seamlessly combining the both pages of the new and old into a single pdf file to upload.

So you see, either of them works..

For sub-400 applicants only.

How to improve your CRS scores.

Note that a 2 Year Msc in a Canadian School with a registered DLI number should ordinarily give you 2 years Post Graduate Work Permit in Canada during which you can sort out your Express Entry application. Your spouse should get a spouse open work permit based on your study permit when you apply. [b]For more information on number 9, please visit the relevant threads on Canadian study and Spousal Open work permit..

Remember that when you work in the right NOC after graduation, you are also increasing your Canadian work experience points.

For more information, see page zero and read through the whole thread.

From the information above, jumping from 300 to 400+ is as simple as A, B, C if you know what you are doing and how to do it.

I wish you all the very best.

Happy Easter!!!

Great piece and insight

2 years Masters in Canada will actually give you 3 years Post Graduate Work Permit

FOR IELTS TEST TAKERS

LISTENING MODULE

1. If you have been finding it difficult to understand some pronunciation and follow their accent, it’s time to pause on those Nollywood movies and watch a lot of Hollywood or ‘Britishwood’ or ‘Aussiewood’. Let the movie sha be from UK or Australia, don’t know if Canadians do much of movies.

2. You can also listen more to BBC news and also listen to some podcasts, these will help your ears to charge up for the test and acclimatize your brain power!

LISTENING AND READING MODULES

1. Endeavour to write all the letters of your words in UPPER CASE what we popularly call CAPITAL LETTERS. You don’t loose marks for doing so rather it saves you the stress of missing on ‘nouns’ which usually is penalized in the test..

I wish you all the best in your exams!

I want to be like @mcstan18 but with the green ink impression.. *smiles*
