As someone rightly said, it is purely your decision to make. You have probably decided since you prefer Manitoba but no admission YET. You can always email TRU for extension. Use the 'requested documents' as delay/reason for asking for extension. No harm in trying! I would choose TRU over any school in Manitoba simply because of the opportunities after school. #JustMy2Cents Tvickie: |

The answer is NO. Since you are not 'including' your family in this application, it is NO. Schonebaby: |

Usually, EE is faster and straightforward if you simply meet the requirements when compared to Study Permit. Yes you can apply for both concurrently. princekins: |

It's advisable to apply for OPEN WORK PERMIT for your spouse instead of Visiting visa. Hence, your TRV or Study permit (when you arrive Canada) may be used in lieu of invitation letter. Lenta: |

Eyha! Choice of city has major impact on a lot of factors. If you have made up your mind on living/settling in BC, what city to live in totally depends on you, your family/career and what your plan is. Google gives close but generic answers. Practically, there is nothing in Victoria (only has the title 'BC's Capital') compared to other known cities. I'm not sure one can explain all about different cities on this platform. tollu: |

I actually think both cities are okay. Richmond is in the Vancouver region and it's home to Asians. Some streets, descriptions are in Chinese or so which is no problem (i love 'them'). However, rent and some other living expenses 'might' be higher in Richmond when compared to Prince Albert. I would suggest your sibling go for the job that pays better considering rent and living expenses. Ytechconst: 3 Likes |

It depends on the type of care job. All care jobs require, at minimum, First Aid certificate and Food Safe which you can get done in just ONE day each. Other than that some care jobs don't require any certification while others do. For example, to work in some 'residential group home', you need a Certificate in Health Care (Health Care Assistant Certificate) and a class 4 driver's license. Provinces may vary in their requirements. By the way, the link below gives a number of IMG support programs in Canada. On the page, under IMG Support Program, click 'IMG Support Programs across Canada' to see more. http://medicine.usask.ca/department/schools-divisions/continuing-education/cme.php#ConferencesCoursesEducationalActivities emelueobi: 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Most foreign doctors start with 'care jobs' which is closer to their profession while they write their MCC exams. If you've got atleast 2 years of independent practice and written MCCEE, you 'may' get a job in BC. There is currently a program for that. You could also apply to be a Clinical Trainee being supervised by a physician but NO PAY just the clinical experience which will give you upper hand over other candidates, say, you want to apply for residency.

If you've got one, bring it along. You can use it to drive until you get your Canadian license which requires passing the driving test (road test or a combination of road and knowledge tests) but don't rush to take the driving test when you arrive. Get used to your city and read the drivers' book provided (for free) so as to know the road signs better. Your international license will be verified if it is original so please don't shoot yourself in the leg as some peeps did. nairacountry: 12 Likes |

The way you guys are mentioning 200k, 350k on laptop is 'fearing' someborri. Haba! Well, i'm not sure what your specs are but i'm sure you will get better deal in Canada. With the current exchange rate, 350k is over $1,000 and that will buy you a 'moderate spec' MacBook not to talk of Dell, HP, Acer etc. If your money no reach buy new lappy, you can get refurbished one/open box or they could even be on sale ('might' need to wait for some seasons like Boxing day sale, Black Friday etc). This is for people like us that take advantage of sales anyway. ***Oh @Dogice said it all already*** temitope06: 6 Likes |

Surrey is a moderate city and part of metro vancouver. It is a nice city with decent number of jobs, peaceful city like most cities in Canada, and more diverse culture. When i saw Surrey, the thought of my favorite African restaurant came to mind. Lol tollu: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

I see no reason why one needs to submit schedule A when it's not a required document. If they need it, they will ask for it. We tend to overdo things. Schedule A was not part of the required documents when i submitted but was immediately requested the next day i requested for my first GCMS (i believe that triggered them to look into my application after 2 months of submission). That was when worked started fully on my application as seen in the GCMS note and recommendation for approval was made. The document (schedule A) is usually requested if they wanna confirm if one of the applicants has been denied visa in the past, criminality etc (usually within the last 10 years). They only asked my spouse to fill it and they highlighted in the letter (correspondence) that question 6 must be answered and the schedule must be signed by her. As the principal applicant, i did not submit it. Question 6 asked about 'ever been denied visa in the past' blah blah. 40manlappy: 1 Like |

I think someone evaluated those two degrees here in NL but not sure if it was through WES or IQAS. As far as ONE of the degrees is 3 years or more, it may meet the criteria for 2 or more certificates. The other degree/diploma could be a year or two before or after BSc. degree. Besides, Bsc. degree (some programs) in India is a duration of 3 years and they are recognized. merrymum: |

Having read from the beginning of this forum, my mind is set on pointing out that Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are not the only provinces for new immigrants to move to. Haba!!! The Atlantic provinces are there too. British Columbia has an economy that ALL provinces are envious of: Balanced budget for the past 5 years. VANCOUVER is the only city i won't advise anyone to move to. There are many other economically-sound cities in BC: Kelowna, Abbotsford, Kamloops, Prince George etc. I just don't get it why new immigrants tend to move to those popularly condensed cities where few jobs are chased by SO MANY qualified applicants. Plus the living expenses there is on a high side. Well, you can say 'it is better to go to a place where there are Nigerians or people with similar background'. There are Nigerians in smaller/medium-sized cities. There is no city in the world you won't see a Nigerian and/or a Chinese. Quote me! You can call me team small city or medium-sized city. Why go to those cities where you spend all your hard earned foreign currency (naira in this case), barely get a good job (probably not in your field because you need to do some certifications etc), pay high rent, even pay school fees (for those that have kids). Talking about schools for kids. A friend that lives in Calgary pays about $18k to send ONE child to school while we pay NOTHING on kids schooling here (a medium-sized city in British Columbia and 'probably' cities with similar sizes). The glare reason is because the population in those 'bigger' cities is more than public school capacity there and as such, private schools excel. Please know that public schools are more preferred here because most private schools are for religious setting. So bro @Philip3 and others, British Columbia is a province you can move to too or better still, as a new immigrant, why not move to a place with medium-size, acclimatize yourself (and family) to your new environment/culture. Afterwards, you move to wherever you want if you need to relocate. Not a fan of going to bigger cities because of 'popularity' then do some menial jobs JUST to survive. BC is a province i love and will continue to love because no city is extremely populated than others EXCEPT Vancouver and that is basically because of the weather (they hardly experience SNOW, for those that don't like snow). In the end, it is a matter of adequate information and personal choice. philip3: 42 Likes 8 Shares |

Take out ANY job in category C. If the work experience in category A is not enough (less than 1 year), no worries. You're better off using category B only if you have more than 1 year work experience under that category. damidamsel: |

With the current trend in student visa processing from Nigeria, i would agree that age might make it a bit tight to get a Study Permit from Nigeria. A friend about that age (45) got a study permit in 2014. Nevertheless, if that would be the best and only option, i will give it a try. That being said, i trust you bro that you have made all your research and they are on point. If i were the one, i would send one of the kids (probably the older one, 16) to study instead. Then, the parents can apply to visit him/her if necessary. After the child's schooling, he/she process and get PR. The child can then apply for the parents' PR. Cheers! 40manlappy: 2 Likes |

I know little about Foreign Trained Dentist in Canada. There is no specific information about getting ECA from the licensing body as far as i know. You may want to phone/email a province (https://www.cda-adc.ca/cdacweb/en/about_CDAC/related_organizations/) about the requirements and process. ltee: |
