TWoods:


The key is in the person that reported the violation - "one passerby".

The difference between the Nigerian and Canadian passerby isn't fear, it's that the Nigerian passerby doesn't care ... he is the one who excuses violations with "na who holy pass"... the Canadian passerby cares about following the rules that he is willing to take time out of his day to call in the violation. He didn't have to, he chose to...

cochtrane:

I don't want to start an argument, but I'd like to make a comment on this.

I think you are underestimating the number of people who will stand aside and not intervene in situations like this. In Toronto or many other Canadian cities, you can literally be ruffled up by strange people on the street or in the bus and people will just stand around or look away and not intervene. Some days ago, a lady was telling me about her friend who fell flat on her face while walking on the streets of Toronto, and no one as much as offered a helping hand. As a newcomer, she found this very strange. So, it isn't really assured that someone will call. Most times, nobody will. So, the system doesn't work based on people's calls. Yes, it's nice if people called, but that's not necessary.

Above all, it's not because someone called that the government (or its agencies) intervene. Even if no one calls, random inspections can find out defaulters and if they have contravened the rule book, they incur a heavy fine. Trust me, that heavy fine is a huge deterrent. So, the person who calls is just another piece of the puzzle, perhaps a very small piece. It's definitely not the major piece here.

... But when the government cracks down in all ways, it will motivate that necessary kindness in people and they will become kind by force...

He said even though money plenty for account, he left desk jobs like customer care to do manual labour and the manual labour no be like naija own.

The people wey call dem selves oga for there dey treat am well well sometimes e dey be like film trick for him eye.

Last last, the guy say as long as you no break the law, you go just dey buga on a steady P.

Case closed.

Immortalregis:

From my understanding of what's on the official Ontario website, there are 2 licensing scenarios:
1. Your driving experience is less than 2 years: You will take a written test then take a g1 drive test as soon as you have two year's driving experience. i.e. Your naija license is 8-months old so you take the written test and wait for 4 months before taking the road test that qualifies you for a g2 license. I believe you can take the road test immediately if you have more than one year's experience.
2. You have more than 2 years driving experience: With that you can take the full G license road test.
You get your license when you pass the road test and in both cases you have to show them your original license and FRSC extract for viewing.

Of course, you should be looking for an apartment that has a heater. You wan make Toronto cold hammer you? Lol.
Welcome to canada!
North York is a good area for an immigrant. I don't know if there's any area there that isn't good. Toronto is not really like Lagos. I think a good advice is to find a roommate, because that way the rent could be more affordable. You can easily find a roommate in North York and pay less than $1000 for a very good 2-bed apartment. You may also want to consider Etobicoke, which is also a good area to stay in, I believe.

For survival jobs, go register yourself with the many employment agencies present around. There are a lot of them downtown and in Mississauga. You may be able to find a job quickly with these guys.

On transitioning into tech, I just wanted to let you know it's very possible. I have a handful of friends who have done this successfully. It may not be easy, but it is very possible. That's probably what you should focus o, the fact that it is very possible. A good starting point may be getting enrolled in many of the certificate programs in the top universities. Make sure to pick something you are comfortable with from the start and not keep experimenting about wasting your time.

Good luck!

PS: this just an inquisitive teenager who sees her parents driving around town gathering documents, seeing her mum talking to her laptop preparing for an exam. Ever since I was a child I loved going out of my comfort zone to find out abut something, that's what led me to looking for a website to get infos about what mum does, and then I found nairaland

Thank you everyone for all you do, I've never seen so many Nigerians come together, to help each other without knowing each other before in my entire life
thanks for all you do
it shall end in praise for all of us
PS :I didn't proof read o, no vex
