Royat1:People buy their clothes ready-made from department stores or clothing stores, rather than go to the dressmaker/tailor/fashion designer as in Nigeria. A 'fashion designer' in Canada would be someone who made 'haute couture' (along the lines of Dior, Versace, YSL, Gucci, etc). For that you have to undergo training (eg fashion college, internship with high end fashion houses, etc) and then break into the industry. It's a very different definition from what obtains in Nigeria. Of course you have 'ethnic' clothes makers (African, Asian) who sell fabrics and traditional clothing to their communities. But bear in mind that traditional fabric is more expensive in Canada because it has to be imported; and the community members' first option in many cases is the Western wear readily available (and typically at lower costs) in department stores. In sum, if you are thinking of making traditional African clothes, you are likely going to be offering a specialty, niche service; and you may want to think of doing other things alongside that, to earn your living (e.g., have a full time job and do the clothing business on the side, at least at the beginning. There are also people who set up shops for alteration and clothes making for the general public (sometimes coupled with dry cleaning services). You would likely benefit from obtaining a diploma or certificate from a college here for tailoring before venturing into that, to give your customers more confidence in your abilities. It may be possible to do other things with tailoring/clothes making abilities, but the above is what is most readily visible on a daily basis as you go around town. You could try google to search for more information. 9 Likes 1 Share |

If you incurred any expenses during the 4 days as a result of the absence of your luggage, and still have the receipts, you are entitled to a refund. Google for the appropriate contact and send in the receipts with an explanation. |

SSpeter:Reduce expenditures. If you keep the same spending ratios when you have more money, you'll still end up throwing away money Make and take lunch, instead of buying. Google is your friend, for workable ideas on this. Do your own laundry Natural, local toiletries are probably cheaper, and way healthier, than processed, packaged stuff. Dudu Osun is great for hair and skin. Google, google, google for more on that angle. Track down, account for and cut back on the unaccounted for. 2 Likes |

BrTune:There should be (there's one at the Abuja Int'l airport). Even so, bear in mind they are unlikely to have Qatari currency. You're probably better off buying dollars or something else from them to change when you arrive. And as well, consider there might be a difference (for better or worse) between their rates and those you can get at the parallel market (and/or bank). 1 Like |

KunleBoye:*This is generally applicable information; you may need to modify it for your circumstances. For instance, if it's a really small, local airport dealing with just a few flights a day, things may not be as strict or structured as in a bigger, busier airport. -Go to the airline website and check in for your flight online ahead of time, today or early tomorrow, if you can-- will save you time at the airport and possibly save you from not getting on board, if the flight is overbooked -Print out your boarding pass so you know your flight number, departure time, boarding gate, boarding time (note: different from/earlier than departure time!) -Head to the airport early. Give yourself time to get there about a couple of hours before the flight, at least. You never know what might happen with traffic, or when you get there, especially since you haven't done this before -Don't forget your passport/travel ID (since it's a local flight you might not need a passport) -Head to the check in counter for your airline, at the airport; get a luggage tag for any luggage you're checking in (i.e., anything that's not hand luggage) and drop off the checked luggage there. Try not to over-pack your checked or hand luggage, or you might have issues with overweight luggage. -Go through security. There should be signs directing you to where this is. Or just ask. You may have to take off shoes, coats, etc; so bear that in mind when dressing- wear stuff that's easy-on-easy-off -No liquids or gels in your hand luggage unless they're really small (for international flights, at least; not sure if that applies to domestic) -Keep a eye on your stuff as it passes through security (if it has to go through an x-ray machine, for instance); you want to make sure everything that goes in, comes out -No metals in your pocket (keys, jewellery) in case you have to pass through a body scanner while passing through security. Metal will beep, and you may have to undergo another scan -Find your gate. There is normally a counter around tehre. Sit close to that counter so you can see and hear clearly when boarding is announced-- the speaker system may not be optimal. -If you think you'll be hungry, you can take stuff like snack bars, chocolate bars, granola bars (not sure if that's available there)-- basically, stuff like that is not likely to be confiscated. There may or may not be places to get food once you get past security (eg if the airport is really small). You'll have to get water once you get past security, though. -Get on board (hopefully flight is not delayed). Put your hand luggage in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Fasten your seat belt. Listen to the safety instructions. Enjoy the flight! 41 Likes 5 Shares |

| Travel › Re: How much is switzerland visa and flight ticket money in nigeria.. please help by ifegy: 4:39pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
dmariowizzy:Sounds like you are thinking of using an agent. In that case you will be charged much more, probably hundreds of thousands of naira, from other people's stories, and you'll likely end up losing your money, from other people's experiences. |
| Travel › Re: France Visiting Visa To Working Visa,how Possible? by ifegy: 6:55pm On Aug 18, 2015 |
dmariowizzy:Generally, you cannot change a visit visa to a work visa. You have to apply for a work visa as a separate affair, ie, meet and follow the requirements, such as be suitably qualified, have the necessary language skills, not be taking a job from a qualified citizen, have an employer supporting your application, or have some sort of extraordinary skill or talent, eg, be a famous artist or performer. Each country will have their specific rules but in general the above is what obtains. In summary, please don't waste money on trying to get a visit visa if what you really want to do is immigrate. Run for your life if an agent is promising to make it work for you. If you really want to immigrate, look for countries with immigration programs for professionals like Canada, Australia, etc. There are threads on the nairaland travel section. Some also go as students and then immigrate. For instance, there are cheap or free schools in Europe where you can get a good education and then get to work and either become resident in that country, or go as a professional immigrant to another country. Again, there are threads on nairaland about these low cost schools, scholarship opportunities for graduate studies, etc. If you want to do things the right way you will have to research and ask lots of questions and work hard. Remember google is free. If you are still determined to go the visit visa route, well, all the best, but you will in all likelihood lose your money to the agents and end up worse off than before you started. 1 Like |

lattychem:There are academic programs that have co-op or work placement components. Since you are interested in those two schools, research to find out if that is the case for them: google or call the schools' admissions offices. If they don't have what you want, google for other schools offering the program you want and investigate whether they have that option. Students have the option of obtaining work permits after their studies. Check out www.cic.gc.ca for more info, the government of Canada's office immigration web site.

exploit7777:The way it is generally for 'visa-free' travel: You may be able to enter the country for a brief VISIT (e.g., 2 to 3 weeks) without needing to obtain a visa at an embassy outside the country beforehand, but you will need a work permit or a residency permit in order to be able to LIVE AND WORK inside the country. |
