Thank you for the response, that's good to know.

1.Does this mean we won't clear our luggage with immigration /customs before checking in at air Canada stand?

2. We have about an hour and half between landing and boarding of the air Canada flight, would this time be enough to complete landing formalities without us missing our flight?

geebaby10:
Hello. Thankss. Done.

Beeea:
1. No

2. To each their own. It depends on how you utilize the opportunities you have being in Canada. If your career isn't one you can do in Canada, go back to school

3. Your 250k is less than $1000. You'll make more in Canada doing minimum wage jobs.

Help, He Is About To Make A Grave Mistake

Hello nairalanders,
I just discovered that the woman my best friend is about to get married to has no womb and she kept it from him. The wedding is scheduled for this Saturday. Should I tell him or hold my peace?

WoodcrestMayor:

Hello everyone,

I honestly need some sort of advice, assistance or help. Presently, am in dilemma whether to relocate to Canada or not. Few months ago, I applied for FSW, I have a family of 3, we were so lucky, God intervened that it took just about 1 month for approval. Passports stamped, COPR received and all of a sudden am having cold feet.

My story, I currently have a better than average, but not fantastic job in Nigeria, own a decent house. Wife has a degree, 2009 and MSC, 2015, in Computer Science, still looking for job. Laying hands on a side business though. One day, after thinking it through, especially because of the kids, currently have one, we decided to 'port' to Canada.

Now, fear of the unknown is really hunting me, wife's spirit and soul already in Canada, but am afraid. Where are we going to start from? Which province or town are we going to settle in? How do we get Jobs? How are we going to survive? I also have a degree, Computer Eng, MBA with over 5 years work experience. I may be wrong but our certificates may mean nothing in Canada, would we then have to go back to school in CA?

We still have till December before the visa expires, I am really confused, almost in a state of forgetting about everything and keep struggling in Nigeria. To resign and start one odd job in Canada would be a nightmare for me. No doubt, I want a better future for my kids, and also I want my wife to be happy and fulfilled in life, but am seriously confused and almost getting depressed.

Sorry for the long post, apologies, please assist if you can.

Many thanks.

Believe me, programming takes time to master as there are so many things to learn. So if you're looking for a stress free something, please kindly look elsewhere.

For instance, let's say you want to develop Salesforce applications, you'll at least need to know what a MVC architecture is. To have a deep understanding of MVC, you'll need to learn at least a framework that implements MVC pattern for a backend language.

Below is a list of some backend languages and some of their frameworks
a. Python (Django, Flask, web2py)
b. Php. (Laravel, CakePhp, Phalcon)
c. Node.JS (Express)
d. Ruby (Ruby on Rails)
e. Java (Spring)

Can you learn a framework without learning the language it was based on? Yes!

Should you? No!

The advantage of learning a language then one of its many frameworks is that you will
have all the basics of programming covered, so porting to another language or framework of the same language would be a breeze.

Then no one tells an intending programmer how much they are going to need to know about databases before they start learning how to program. Then there's Version Control that you will almost never hear about until you start reading job descriptions and you'll start wondering how you never heard it before. But if you're intrigued by the prospects of it all, please take the jump and be ready for the time of your life!

N.B: I'm not trying to scare you; just telling you as it is... Good luck

fusion23. I found this.

balogunsam:
...whao! Thanks for this information. Been reading on these two since i saw your post and i must say its been enlightening. Which of the two do you recommend most based on ease of learning and acceptance/usage in Canada? Thank you.

I have stumbled on Dynamics on Microsoft's website a few times... Didn't know CRM development is a big something.

And that's the beauty of IT; you learn everyday. What's the market like for SharePoint developers?

DadR:
Hey boss, please what field in ICT are you?

Lucky you.ICT people have it best!
I will double up on my LinkedIn strategy.I just signed up for LinkedIn Premium as well.This March will be my last month unemployed IJN

ray78:
Thanks.My work exp isnt too straigh forward.I'm an economist with Msc Finance.I have mainly experience in govt -macro research and operations.I'm trying to work in financial services especially operations/settlement/data entry/risk etc
As for recruitement agences,i was using Acces Canada-they tried but they are quite sluggish.I am now using TalentCor which is able to get contract roles in TD Bank.So fingers crossed on that.i am even ready to work below minium wage or free for a month in financials services just so i will be more marketable
How long were u in Canada before getting a job/I've not yet considered other provinces,let me stretch my luck in Toronto,plus i'm not ready to deal with the colder regions

ray78:
Almost two months here in Canada and still without a job.I refused a sales/marketing commission based role though.This wait is getting tiring now.
Canadian recruiters are OBSESSED with 'canadian work experience' .It is a huge red flag if none of your previous work or education was done in Canada.They are also obsessed with you having performed the exact same role as they advertised,they dont even try to deduce your skill set from similar roles you've performed.Very risk averse people,no wonder they are not known for Foreign Direct Investment abroad.
