@Sotaj, can you please confirm if I will be needing the FRSC letters in Alberta? I will be landing in Calgary next month and all my efforts to get the letter has been abortive. I have a valid Nigeria driver’s license. I can get an international drivers license if need be. Thank you in advance.

SOTAJ:
@ TEECANN,

I will only answer your first question. Other people may be able to give answers to the rest.

I do not really know about Ontario, but I want to believe it will be same as it is in Alberta. The Nigerian Driver license you submit for the processing of your Alberta license becomes the property of the Province (It will not be returned to you). So, you may want to make copies before dropping it.

Congrats on your landing,

Does anyone know how to ship things from Lagos? Please help, I am leaving next month and I am using British airways/ American Airlines to Calgary. They seem to have the shortest flight time and short layover as well. However I read somewhere that British airways are very strict on excess luggage and quite expensive too (I have 4-5 boxes). Please does anyone know how to ship stuff from Lagos? And how much? please help.

ps: if you have your COPR and haven’t landed yet, please make use of the various pre arrival services. They help, I am presently running online courses with two of them and I was also linked with a mentor in my field and an employment consultant.



Thanks for this information. May the land favour your family.
Got quick questions please:

1. For the goods following, did you send via airline or how? I mean how can i know the cargo service to use?

2. You mentioned a year to bring in other goods that follow. Are all these items duty free? I mean apart from the 120k you paid in Nigeria, did you have to pay anything else in Canada?

Thank you!!!

Hi KW01, You will need to get a certificate of qualification from NCA (National Committee on Accreditation)- the first step to getting a Certificate of Qualification is to apply for an assessment of your credentials.
After reviewing an application, the NCA will issue an assessment report to the applicant listing the subjects and/or legal education that is required to ensure that the applicant’s legal education and training is equivalent to that provided by an approved law school in Canada.
In order to obtain an NCA Certificate of Qualification, most applicants are required to demonstrate competence in a number of subjects. Applicants may demonstrate competence in one of three ways:
successful completion of NCA examinations;
by registering as a special student in a Canadian common law degree program and successfully completing the assigned subjects as part of your program of studies;
a combination of (1) and (2).
Once an applicant has successfully completed the NCA requirements, the applicant may request a Certificate of Qualification by visiting the NCA portal
