A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is looking very, very good so far.

Set after House of the Dragon and way before Game of Thrones, this one feels like a proper return to classic Westeros storytelling, but on a more personal scale.

4 episodes in and it already has the feel of an All-Timer!

The acting is solid.
The dialogue is clean and clever.
The quiet tension in some scenes? Top tier.
No over-the-top chaos (yet), just strong characters, politics, honor, humor, and that familiar gritty atmosphere.

You can tell this story is building towards something huge!

Yups. And it's George R.R Martin's favourite book.


I don't think people are ready for that episode 5. 👀

Favorite? He said that?

Cos how good was ASOIAF? If this is his favorite, then it's going to be a treat!

abduleez1:
Episode 5 with the incoming tragedy.....

Something about this show. Started slowly like GOT.
Has the potential to be an all-timer..

Hiii!

So, I've been meaning to do this since last year but I just kept putting it off. I'm sorry it took me this long to update everybody who contributed to this thread.

First off, I really appreciate everyone of you for your kind words and encouragement that year. It was just the motivation I needed at that time. I can still remember, clearly in fact, that night while I was in night class when Ymodolus freakied my account . I will never forget you and I really hope to see you one day.

I actually graduated with a first class last year (4.56) and the best graduating student of my department. I was really happy. Hold on. Before I graduated, I got a fully funded scholarship for my MS here in Texas and I travelled in January. God, y'all, and my first class helped me to secure that scholarship.

Even before I left the country, I was working in a 'mouthed' agency in Ikeja as an intern using the skills I learnt along the way. Last year was just so surreal for me. Everything happened so fast.

Well, now that I'm here in the states , doing my MS and enjoying every bits of it, I will say this: Whatever you find yourself doing, do it very well. First class or no first class, what life rewards is your tenacity, commitment, and attitude towards work. This is my experience, and I can tell you it's valid.

The journey is just starting for me and I intend to maximize this opportunity and put in my best to create the kind of future that I desire.

Thank you very much:

For nursing in Alberta, it depends on what you want. If you want to be a Registered Nurse with a degree from Nigeria, you can look into 2nd degree nursing program. I know University of Alberta and Macwean in Edmonton offer this program but not sure if any university or college in Calgary offer it. The program is very comprehensive from what I've heard from people. If you want to a License Practical Nurse, you can look into that program. It takes 2 years to complete and the requirement to enter is High School diploma. I think Bow Valley College in Calgary offers the program.

This is very helpful. Thank you

Hello, where are you based?

I'm still in Nigeria. But landing in Calgary soon.

Obtay:
Hello people,please any similar part or known knowledge about this?kindly help give your input.it will be really appreciated

Hi Obtay, did you eventually get the information you were looking for. I need guidance with this too

LordIsaac:
The reverse is the case. Get the warm clothing when coming. The jeans and shirts are abundant here. Just visit walmart and pick quality clothes. In fact, after wearing the clothes for like a week and you don't like them, you can do returns and will be refunded fully.
I just got back from Nigeria yesterday, and the only thing I bought was just wallabees and clarke shoes. I could easily get them on Amazon, but I liked what I saw. I travelled very light.

A lot of sense in this..

LordIsaac:
All the foodstuffs they pack will finish within 6 months. Ultimately, it is the food around we have learned to eat. Every other thing from clothing to grooming accessories are abundant here. Travel light and have peace.

Noted. Thank you. Some people advice to get things like jeans and shirts but leave shoes and other winter gear till you get there.

Goodlady:
I forgot to add those you mentioned. She took them there. You see those things I bought for her were her things she can't do away with. Plus it was cheaper as she dey carry dem dey go. Some were removed but she went with a lot and was grateful she faced little or no immigration hassle concerning are luggages.

Hi OP..Do you mind mentioning the things that were removed?

LordIsaac:
I carried all these things during my time. Besides the food, all else is useless. I’ve not even used some things. We have 1 dollar shop there. You just made her carry unnecessary heavy load.😊

Please besides the food what other things would you recommend as essentials to bring from Nigeria. And what common things people carry over do you think is not necessary

Hey guys,

My work experience work cannot provide tax documents and payslips, worked there in (2019-2020) during Covid period. We know as Nigeria be
And now everywhere I’m seeing is ircc is asking for tax documents and payslips for foreign experience.

Has anyone who has recently applied for PR gotten ADR or PFL for not including these in pr application? I’m beyond stressed. Looks like I might have to go back to Nigeria in January to work for one year again😭

This life ehn

Bank statements can replace payslips if your organization can't provide one for you. Alternatively the organization can write you a salary certificate

musspuss:
Please does anyone know how else to request transcript from Unilorin. I've tried to use the online portal but it's been giving error. Thank you

You should speak to someone in the admin dept, your dean or HOD.

Hi.. where u base?

aurorae1:
Hi sorry for the late response. The receipt was just a usual one generated at the bank. But if it was an e-transfer, yeah the alert is good enough.
If you have 6 months statement, that's great.

Thanks

MayorOfEdmonton:
IMO you don’t necessarily have to provide 6 months SofA since it’s a gift deed, my sis had to open new $ account and provided 1 month statement.
On your bank statement highlight the money deposit.
Cheers

Okay thanks

MayorOfEdmonton:

Thanks Mayor..

MayorOfEdmonton:
Yes…100%
My younger sister did same without issues.
Especially as he’s probably claiming sibling points off you and you have to provide documents to prove your relationship when he’s applying anyways.
Cheers

Mayor.. when doing gift deed do I still need the 6months statement of account?

aurorae1:
Used a sibling and no issues at all. I've seen so many sibling gifters and no problems whatsoever.
Just ensure you see put the donor's government issued ID and the receipt of transfer of the gift deed.
It's not compulsory at all but If he/she has a registered business, you may attach CAC documents.
@Bluebox

Hi, “receipt of transfer of the gift deed" is that the same as the gift deed alert on the bank statement?..
Also ehen using gift deed is 6 months statement still required?

Ontarioo:
Use gift deed. You're good

Hello.
Thanks for your guidance to newbies in this thread.
I want to ask. Do I still need a 6 months statement if I am using a gift deed. Someone advised I get only 1 week statement of account. Showing the received sum. Then do a gift deed certificate with a notary..
What do you think?

Profgordons:
I think you are missing my point that this thread should not be derailed with such advisories. Let it be to support people who need info on their express entry application and not if Canada presents challenges or not. Anyone who wants to relocate had different choices but decided on Canada. That it is not all rosy is an entirely different conversation not dedicated to this space. I don’t have anything personal with people who want to share experiences but when it is always a negative one, I do have a problem with that. E no easy e no easy, where is it easy?

Prof..i will reply appreciate your input on this..I am using a gift deed from my Mum. Do I need to still provide 6months bank statement?

mhizsimi:
I think you can use a gift deed, why don't you get one from a family member?
They don't need the gifter account statement, just your account statement will do. You need to show the transaction receipt and the person's ID though.

Hi.. thanks for your contributions but I need a clarity..

The transaction receipt is that same as the bank alert?..
Or is that a different thing.

Person's ID.. like an international passport or National ID?

Will the person's name and signature on a gift deed declaration not suffice?..

Also since I'm using a gift deed from my Mum. Do I need to still provide 6months bank statement?

Emmayorejoice:
Sorry I didn't see this on time.

There is a fence separating the compound. These two compounds were once owned by the same landlord b4 the other one was sold.

So when the fencing was to be done, the squatter in the other compound would have done a deal with the workmen to connect his compound.

With the fence and the illegal connection discovered there is no way he can reconnect himself again

Okay. Thank you
