Good All,

Thank you all for the information provided so far.

I have a question related to job application from Naija before arriving Canada.

What phone number do i use on my CV?

I changed the address to the address of where i'll stay in Canada.

I'm worried they may decide not to contact me if they notice the Naija number.

Please any advice on how to deal with this is appreciated.

Thank you.

Vancouver is expensive. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartmet is $2000. The average rent in cities outside of Vancouver in the lower mainland are more affordable but they are typically higher than what can be found in towns/cities in the praries (Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba) and Atlantic provinces (Nee Brunswick, PEI & Nova Scotia). Many people commute from the surrounding areas to Vancouver for work. There are job opportunities in BC but not as much as Ontario(specifically Toronto & Ottawa) and Alberta for English speakers. Additionally salaries tend to be a little lower in BC than other provinces.

The weather in BC is not as extreme. The coldest it ever got when I was living in South Western BC was -10°C. It hardly ever snows either. There aren't as many black people per capita in BC compared to the prairies, Ontario and Quebec so it is easier to feel homesick.

Good morning.
Thanks to @Maternal suggestion (to check Gatineau for housing), my friends and I found a fully furnished 3 BR House with basement at Gatineau for CAD1599/month (15 mins to Ottawa by bus). But it all depends on how far you willing to compromise(i.e distance to price).

I hope this is helpful.

Good day house. So I got a mail in my cic account this evening(image attached) about how to get a job in canada. I'll like to know what this implies in relation to d application.
AOR was Oct 10 while Med passed was NOV 6.
Thanks.

sleekchic:
Register it, How do you mean please, how much did you pay to send your certificate to WES using NIPOST? I sent mine since last month, it's over 20 working days and my profile still says 'awaiting documents' but I only paid 450naira so I can't really complain.

Rocorleone:
@Feygbe, @vcole, @blackbuddy and other knowledgeable folks. I've just got my letter of experience from FRSC, an international driver's licence and my expired nat'l driver's licence. What is the next step to apply for the Canadian driver's licence?
I'm in BC though

adeza:
My naija driver’s license will be 2years in January, I did the knowledge test and applied for exemption. I have the class 7 license and they said I can go ahead and do the basic road test now or wait till January for the advanced road test.

I had a baby last Wednesday , PR cards received and my older child has been paid child benefits for October & November, thought we had to wait for 3months before the ist pay

And finally @GlitteringStar. She has the most beautiful mind I have ever seen. She is a special one. Thanks.
Thanks again to everyone!
Thing now is, I've traveled and didn't make arrangements for this 15-day deadline. I'll have to find a way to extend this.

My work experience has been in financial services but I plan on changing careers kinda like go with the flow of things.
My immediate goal is to get a job to support myself (without bias to my previous experience) while I work on additional qualifications.
My main considerations are cost of living and ease of settlement.
From my research it appears GTA has more immigrant serving organizations and job opportunities than Calgary but somehow Calgary just keeps calling my name. I'm so undecided. I plan to land in January.

Guitarlife:
Hello people the journey has started thanks to everyone that has encouraged me.

I spent a good number of hours sorting thru NOCs and I finally found one that fits my job description of 4 years but the job title is totally different.

I am nominating 2241 Electrical Electronic technologist while my present job title is about managing Automated Teller Machines.

My plan is to state my job role on my company reference letter to indicate I design, operate, support bla bla bla ATMachine emphasis on ATM hard ware and electronic banking systems support and repair.

Wura27:
Hi guys,

I have Toronto as the city I'd be landing in my COPR but plans have changed and I'd now be landing in Calgary via Manitoba.

Please I need to know if I'm good and wont have any issues when I land

Galaxxy:
My application( my wife and I) have just been approved:

submitted: Oct 28
IP1 and Medicals: Nov 1
NA2: Nov 1
IP2: Nov 14
PPR: Nov 15

P.S: I currently reside in Canada while my wife is Naija. I think its going to be stressful if she has to send me her passport before we can mail it to Ottawa. Any suggestions on what I can possibly do without troubling CIC lol.

Nazor83:
Please what are the disadvantages of using standard mail apart from the inability to track the parcel?
