Please guys is it favorable to move to Canada and hope on getting a job when one arrives, please this question is a life and death question as of now. Please I need your replies urgently thanks all

Firstly, do you have the visa already? I asked because it sounds like you want to make a desperate move and hoping it will pay off.
If you are coming to Canada as a Permanent Resident, it may not be hard to get something to sustain yourself.
Do your homework to find out the opportunities in your field. At the end, you may need a leap of faith to make the move.

God Bless

@ DatechMan, Abeg where in scaborough ,can a brother rent a decent cheap and affordable room oh

Rent for GTA no be beans o. Most areas in Scarborough are ok. You can look out for specifics such as proximity to train station / bus stop, malls, schools, etc.
Decent and affordable don't usually go together. You can get a room in a shared apartment around $500 - $800. I would advise that you get a temporary airbnb ($30 to $50/day) before landing, then you can do your accommodation search after landing.

So sad. This may not be a coincidence.

Too bad Boeing may not be able to help with the investigation due to sanctions.
Some analysts have said sanctions have contributed to ageing fleet in the Iranian airspace. The verdict will be out soon.

@ DatechMan

I like your positivity even when the car had faults.
It's 2years now, pls kindly update us on the status of the car.

Thanks

I'm surprised to be mentioned on this thread after 2 long years.

Well, a lot has happened between then and now.
I sold the car in November 2017 for N450k or thereabout. That was just few months after the brainbox issue was resolved.
And this was for reasons other than the car itself. I needed money to complete a much important project.

I am sure I have learnt some lessons from my mistakes. Are you thinking of buying same model of car?

Any help with this please?

285 is a very good rate. No BDC will pay you that much. Check abokifx.com if you have a doubt. Any which way just make sure your source is trustworthy.

And please don't carry so much cash with you. You don't even have to convert all your money to Canadian dollar.
My advice is for you to try change small money to survive, then when you reach Canada, open a bank account and change the rest of the money to CAD if you want.

But we say all these even in naija now? abi an only me waka come?
We sometimes end phone conversation in Naija sometimes without explicit goodbyes. Everyone understand you are burning credit, so if it seems like the conversation has reached a logical conclusion, it is usually appropriate to end the call.
Ending a call without explicitly saying goodbye could be seen as been rude here. It happened to me with some of my colleagues. For example:
Me: Are you coming to the cafetaria for lunch?
Colleague: Yes, I am on my way
Me: Ok
Colleague: Yeah
Me: (Hang up)

Tipping is not a culture I was familiar with back in Nigeria; the practice would normally be "oga!, anything for your boy?" and depending on my mood, i give. It's not the same here; it isn't mandatory but a generally accepted and expected practice and it's normally 15-20%.

Apart from tipping, what other cultural difference have you noticed, experienced or picked up?

Another one that comes to mind is holding the door for the person coming behind you.........

Smiling at strangers


Life tips:
Always end your call with "Good bye" or "bye"
Learn to say "Please" and "Thanks" at everything.

I have at least 5 friends that are asylum claimants. One is already approved. One denied, going for appeal. 3 are still pending.
I don't blame people for trying to run away from Nigeria wahala. It's just that there's no sincere way to do that in Canada. Every Nigerian refugee claimant I have met, is determined to feed them bullocks at the hearings. I probably would do same if I were in their shoes.

I am not here to go into the details about how many refugees game the system or not. There is not a doubt that the asylum system puts more stress on the economy compared to the EE. People that campaigned against it are not totally wrong. It is just that they exaggerate the situation. If I was able to vote, I would have voted the red party. I believe what they need to put in place however, is a better system, to make sure people are more productive and reduce leakages.

The story of the Irish-Nigerian who came to seek asylum in Canada comes to mind. I have been pondering in futility about what inspired such decision.





Refcan:
@sixsigma1
I am a refugee in Canada and based on my personal experience, I would disagree with some of your submissions.
I am saying personal experience because I cannot speak for other people. But to a large extent, the same applies for a lot of refugees as most of us are in the same shoes.
I will just give you a brief summary of my experience and I will let you judge with an open mind If we are having it better than those coming in through with express entry or if we are not contributing to Canada economically.
Came in around April 2018, spent 4 days in the processing centre which we call sandwich place cos we eat sandwich morning afternoon and night.
After processing, we were taken to YMCA who made which is a free shelter and you're not expected to spend more than a month before you get your own accommodation. By that time you should have been processed for welfare and your work permit.
So by May ending, we got $1200 for a family of 4. IE 2 adults and 2 children. So we had to leave the shelter to get our own accommodation. No work yet because work permit was not yet ready.
Got a $750 one room apartment and started work July.
Work was $12/hr
Immediately you start working, welfare checks stops, and any welfare check you collect after working, you will have to pay the government back... You can't escape that.
So in my case, only got welfare for 2 months.
As you start to work, you pay taxes like every other Canadian, but as a refugee claimant, you don't get benefits like everyone else.
You will be denied many things because you don't have a status yet.
No subsidized daycare, you pay full $35 to $40 per day as opposed to $8.25 fault for PR. Due to this wife could not work as my children were still very young
No access to any form of child benefits (maybe until after 18 months) , no gst
Most banks will even decline to issue you a credit card, you have to hunt for banks or sometimes different branches of the same bank so you can at least build your credit score
You mentioned free prescription... It's not all drugs that are covered, you still have to pay for most stuffs. Most cheap over the counter drugs like Advil, Tylenol etc are covered though. Dental is not covered if you're already working, except you are on welfare and I think it's after 1 year
Can't go to school, no access to grants
In Quebec PR are paid to learn French, refugee claimants are not paid.
Now I have a $20/hr job, which means I'm contributing more to the economy but still do not have access to many things.
As maternal said, I do believe the liberal government are not stupid and there are calculations behind the scenes
Ever wonder why mothers that cannot work because of their kids are usually processed first for hearing I think it's simply because they are currently not contributing to the economy, so they can easily get their verdict on time and be accepted or rejected.
This will be my 18th month now in Canada and we are still waiting for our hearing. Some that came after us have already been called.
Trust me, they know what they are doing.
Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining or whatsoever, I am just giving you real life facts and not the propaganda you hear all over the place.

Is it possible to get a job pre landing for a PR.

I am into IT, And System Security(NOC2281), and will like a quidiance on what to do to secure a job or get interviews before landing. Just got PPR and planning next year landing(App/May).

However, if offers come up, willing to do the landing asap.
I.T roles are majorly dependent on experience. I would advise you check out job sites to see what a typical requirements for the role are. In many cases, there's always a skill deficiency to address. It's competitive out here.
The odds of you getting a job from Nigeria is slim. Most companies love to hire someone on ground.

Hi guys, I would be landing third week of November in Toronto and I have a couple of questions/concerns.

1. I intend to go with USD 5000 cash and have the bank statement showing the remaining POF in naira. Would that suffice?

2. As regards accommodation, I've been searching for a room in a shared apartment in the GTA (North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough and Mississauga) on a couple of sites now and I haven't been able to come up with something tangible. The ones I've seen are up for rent immediately and might not be available then. Does anyone here know of any available rooms in those areas or know someone who does? Budget is $650

3. What is the best/cheapest phone plan to use in Toronto?

4. For banks, which is the most immigrant friendly.

I apologise if they've been answered before but I've not been able to go through the thread in it's entirety.

1. That suffices
2. I would advise you get an Airbnb's room. You can then start searching for a permanent place.
3. Luckymobile, Freedom mobile, Chatr seems to be the budget lines.
3. All of them are good. RBC, CIBC, Scotiabank, TD.

Thanks in anticipation

@Datechman pls na
I am yet to meet many people that have stayed in Windsor. It is in the far South West of Ontario bordering the US. It is far from Toronto and the GTA. There are not many jobs there and it's impossible to commute daily to Toronto. The city is best known for it's Automotive industry and Tourism.
It all depends on what your reasons are, it could be a nice place to stay
