Hi,

Kindly send your number, I'll ask admin to add you to an Edmonton group.(Hopefully it's not filled up yet).
I know a couple Property managers you could reach out to ask if they have apartments available for rent.
It's probably better to rent and have a feel of Edmonton to know if it's works for you and have enough time to make informed decision on buying. Apartments of $1400-1500 in Edmonton was $2,200-$2800 when I was in Toronto.
I usually recommend SW(South) it's safer, newer neighborhood, easy drive to anywhere in Edmonton via Henday HW.

All the best in your choice&Move.
Hi, can you add me to the group too?

I welcome my family to Canada on Sunday. The procedure is seamless. At the CBSA, they requested my means of identification from my wife and inquired how long I had been here. To everyone waiting to unite with their family, I wish you all good news soonest. We shall reap the good fruits of this Canada in Jesus' name.

Well,generally, unless you have someone here/guarantor who can secure a lease for you, you would need to get an airbnb or short term rental for some time while looking for your permanent rental.McEwan Univ is pretty close to downtown Edmonton so transit should be great.
Short term rentals(like a month or two) are much cheaper than airbnbs but also very hard to get.You should try joining Edmonton facebook rental groups to ask if you can get one temporarily.

As for the longterm rental,your best bet is Rentfaster.There are alot on facebook marketplace but too many scams over there. For apartments,you should be able to get 1bedroom at about $1200 and 2bedroom at about $1500.Heat and water are generally already included.Personally,we live in a 2bedroom spacious apartment in the West side at $1395 with underground parking included.
Thank you very much. How did you go about getting yours?

you can use google for the first question or try wakanow.com/skyscanner. For accommodation get a domiciliary account and pay for airbnb. After landing you sort your accommodation.
Okay, thank you.

So sorry for not getting back to you sooner. No one should make you feel bad for asking questions wink.

I can tell you that those jobs are in need here and come in different forms. There may be some certs you may need to acquire. I know about getting a Standard First Aid with CPR and AED license. This involves a 2-day training. Check www.stmarkjamestraining.ca. I know someone who used them back in 2019.

Taking a look at this link you'll agree yourself that there are jobs available: https://ca.indeed.com/Social-Worker-jobs-in-Calgary,-AB
First and foremost get a plan for yourself if you are not yet here. Know all of the prerequisites needed to get you one of these jobs. Pay close attention too to the salaries in the link I posted. It may guide you to where you may want to focus.

Obviously I don't have all of the answers for your line of work but I hope this helps.

Cheers.

Is there anyone traveling to Edmonton, Alberta Canada as an international student in the coming months? I’ll be traveling soon and i’d like to link up with my brothers and sisters over there. We can also share information, because frankly i’m blank on how to quickly get an accommodation there. I hear it can be quite difficult getting an accommodation as a new immigrant especially as an international student.
Hello, are you in Edmonton now? What flight did you use and how did you get accommodation? I'm coming around November.

what province is he goinghuh He wont be able to get accommodation easily with a family of 3, he can rent a room for himself but most landlords will not rent a full house him with family of 3. He has loan to repay, students are not finding it easy getting jobs due to economic situation, houses are expensive now due to high interest rate on mortgages. He should leave the infant and wife behind for now.
Hello, please do you know the cheapest flight from Abuja or Lagos to Alberta, Canada? Also do you know how I can pay for accommodation in Alberta from Nigeria?

Hello house, thanks for all the wonderful contributions you have been making.

Please I have this question,

What is the possibility of starting education in Canada with an admission already gotten while in Nigeria?

Like, I got an admission while in Nigeria but now traveled to Canada with visiting visa which has been converted to work visa.

Can I now use this admission which I got while I was still in Nigeria to school in Canada?

Thanks in anticipation for the replies.
Hello, please how did you convert your visitors visa to work visa?

Study the Canada student thread very well. Read like five threads back using key word search because that's the easiest way to japa now
But I heard you need home ties, in form of employment to your country.

first you can visit the IRCC web page to read about the requirements for a study visa.
2. you have to have sufficient fund to cover your tuition and living expenses
3. there are certain things that will determine how many years' POF you will need to show. e.g, the year duration of your program, who is the
sponsor, other family commitments etc.
4. Its very technical, but read through this thread, you can educate urself better.
5. if i have more info about your situation, maybe i can give specific advice
Thank you Macdeeza.

I'm a freelancer. I've heard that they deny freelancers visa since they don't have employment ties in their home country. Is this true? Also, I intend going with my spouse.

macdeeza:
you can simply say you are yet to obtain your study permit from immigration Canada. Let them interpret it anyway they want. I defer admission for people all the time and that's the vague language I use and no school has ever come back seeking clarification. You dont need much sentences when you seek to defer admission unless the school demands for it.
Hi, I just got admission. I need to start the study visa application process. How do I go about it?
