So for those who are Catholics and want to enrol their kids in Catholic schools...

You should have the Child's baptismal certificate and also the Parent's baptismal certificate..

It's one of the requirements to enrol your kids in Catholic schools..

Noted!

First rule is for you all to wear comfortable clothings. Its not about being fashionable cos the journey from Lagos or Abuja to Canada is a long one. Additionally, I would recommend sweaters or hoodies cos the airplane may be very cold. Have change of cloths and underwear which may come in handy incase of any accidents especially for younger kids. Plenty baby wipes is always a good idea. Then take items the kids are familiar with, Tablets, teddybear etc...

Thanks so much for your contribution..we hope she gets a job soon..

Hello All
My wife is currently in Regina SK with our almost 6yr old daughter. It has not really been an easy ride for wifey with respect to getting a job cos of our daughter. Most of the daycares she applied to have long waiting lists. Anyway my daughter resumes school next week. We decided to enroll her in a French immersion school instead of an only English speaking school. Hopefully wife gets a job soon cos this exchange rate isnt easy at all.

Oh wow..thanks mama...we can't wait to get in so we can get this thread popping.. thanks for your contribution..lifesaver

I am expecting my PPR soonest by the grace of God.

Going to Saskatchewan with two of my kids.


If you are going to Saskatchewan and plan to enrol your kids above age 5 in school, you will need to contact Newcomers Centre. They will be the one to link you with a nearby school where your child can be enrolled.

The school form will be sent to you via email to fill after which your child will be in their waitlist. Application process for the kids will be concluded when you get to Canada.

I don't know how parents cope yet cos I'm not yet in Canada but decided to share above info just in case it's useful to someone.

I pray we all settle in to the system in Canada at the earliest time possible.

Thank you

We will enter and change the narrative..lol

Nadingo:
It's quite unfortunate that our people with kids in Canada do not want to assist us with their practical experiences over there.

Unfortunately, we are yet to get contributors..

Even on youtube..the info's are few..

As it stands,some of us Will have to get into Canada first...we Will be back to get this thread popping...

You are just angry for nothing tbh..freedom of speech,religion etc no dey again?..if people want to attribute it to God,let them be! If you want to attribute it to your own human spirit,so be it! If na stone, plant,trees etc anybody wan thank..let them feel free! If anyones wants to even thank BUBU,they should!
I don't see why anyones way of life will bother you and others this much..its not that deep jare..
Una just like to argue..

aestake:
That exception is man-made! Nothing superhuman there, mak una leave God alone. That's how a carpenter came and ran with job money after preaching up and down on my last visit to Nigeria. Talk talk only .. nothing reflects the behavior God expects.

Brutal thread...no joy oooo..just ask and move on..some are actually kind and responsive

Just defer your admisson..looks like fall is far but its not..some us deferred from May to Jan 2023..we have gotten approvals and we have time to prepare and get ready for resumption

fenwag:
Please, I need help; I got admitted to Humber college, I submitted my application on June 23, Humber resumes on September 6th, and I am expected to upload an LOI (Letter of Introduction) on or before the said date to register for courses else I will lose my studentship. Still, I am yet to hear from IRCC.

If I want to defer, Humber does not accept deferments for more than two(2) semesters, and my course is only taken during Fall.

What will I do if I ask for a refund and my application gets approved?

I need Advice, please.
