Don't know if this is the right thread for it, but the federal government is trying a new immigration pilot project to help gets immigrants into rural communities. Perhaps this may be good for people who can't get or afford the skilled worker route ? A nice read. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/hussen-immigration-rural-pilot-1.4990875 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Lastruct: Yes forget Vancouver. It's extremely expensive. I feel Alberta gets a bad wrap. Every province has a bread and butter economy. Oil is Alberta's bread and butter as it should be, but there's other types of industry there as well. Construction is usually on going in Canada. With population increase you'll constantly have new projects then of course you have maintenance as well. I'm not too educated about the construction industry as a whole, but there's always projects going on. As for your spouse nurse, she'll be fine wherever she goes once she's qualified. I'm curious to know how your friend came with the conclusion nobody helps each other in Calgary. I know a lot of good people from Calgary. I'd personally go to Calgary over Ottawa. And if things don't work out, grab your load and move to Ottawa. 11 Likes |

kashamadupe0906: Interest is only charged after you graduate or you're not going back to school. You usually have a grace period of 6 months after you're done school to start paying it back. Each province can be different. Even as you start paying it back you can claim some reduction on your taxes and get some of the interest you paid towards the loan. Student loan is by far the best loan one can get to go to school. 21 Likes 8 Shares |

vululadilolo: You even had this persons time ? The ignorance here is appalling. He talks about discrimination against disabled people, yet he uses his uncle as an example and lumps all people with disabilities in his uncles category. Then he claims disabled people don't need such medical treatment that it's all environment. As if people with autism don't need therapy, people suffering from schizophrenia don't need prescription drug, etc. Each disability is different and has it's own challenges. Till today I'm the only one which has given the poster a comprehensive answer regarding his daughters medical situation. Even if it's just access to certain services, each city and province are still different and still requires research. 10 Likes 1 Share |

gabbyghandour: Changing it on paper and actually doing it are 2 different things. You know that. In terms of disability, someone with autism for example needs more than facilities. They may also need therapy for example. Unless he says the exact disability, nobody knows. We're both ignorant of the treatment she'd need. 6 Likes |

denaven: I guess I can answer everyone's reply here. Well now you've added more meat to the story, it's starting to make more sense. It seems like the whole process took anywhere from 6-8 months ? Would that be fair to say ? The first lesson you have learned is that Canada is not a banana republic and the government is very efficient. More so than Nigeria's any way. Your wife followed the rules and eventually got residency for the family. I guess you thought this wouldn't happen ? Or the Canadian govt won't do as they say, or they're not efficient ? Lesson learned I assume ? I still don't understand how a business man didn't start planning, especially as the processing was coming along smoothly, until you got the visa. But nobody is perfect. Now I also got a daughter with a disability from birth. See we have something in common. While you may get more help letting people know the exact issue, you have a right to your privacy. But with a child with a disability, and coming to Canada for that sole reason, you should start researching what city or province can provide your child with the best medical care. Because Canada has universal healthcare doesn't mean all services are equal. Wait times also differ as well. So for example Ontario you need to wait 3 months after landing to access healthcare. If your daughter needs healthcare right away, perhaps Ontario is not for you ? Or Ontario offers free prescription drugs for individuals 24 years and younger. If your daughters disability requires her to need a lot of expensive prescription drugs, maybe Ontario is the right province for you ? You and your wife need to sit down and research which province best fits your daughters situation. Once that is done and you settle on a province/ city, then I would start doing research on the economics of that region. What jobs are booming there ? Is it possible to continue my business while in that province ? etc. Remember even school services are not the same. Some schools may have more experience dealing with a child with X disability than others. And each provinces wait times differ. In fact even wait times for cities within a province differ. For example if you live in Toronto and need to see a specialists, it'll definitely take longer to see one than if you lived in a smaller city like Ottawa for example. Unlike a lot of the big mouths here, I'm talking from experience. I am walking in your shoes. I've actually learned from you because the Canadian gov't use to reject applicants who had a disabled child. There was a national out-cry and the PM along with his immigration minister said they would change that. So for your application to go through with quickness and ease, it seems like the gov't kept their word. See what happens when we share info ? So what have we learned interacting with "big bad maternal" ? 1. The Canadian gov't welcomes families even with a disabled child. 2. Application can go quickly and smoothly if you let the wife do it. I mean if you're organized and have your stuff together. 3. If your sole reason is to come with a disabled child and you get your papers, start researching with province/city would best help your child before anything else. Believe me, there's someone in naija in your former situation (wanting to come here because someone has a disability) who is reading this and learning a lot. They may even privately DM you. I have brought more substance to this convo than these internet saints giving their "best wishes" a long with "hugs" and foolish hashtags. Primary school nonsense. This man is nervous, scared, and needs legit help to reduce his anxiety, not hugs and hashtags ewu's. Contribute real substance to this conversation or simply skip over it and be quiet. Why are my posts always an issue on this thread ? Why can't I speak my mind ? 27 Likes |

denaven: Bros no vex. But to address everyone who claims I'm insulting. The application process to get PR is not easy. You can't tell me, especially as a business man, you and your wife did not sit down and discuss the move across the Atlantic ocean. You're making it seem like you randomly applied today, then got it the next day. Then to say "i have decided to go with them and settle down in Canada for the sake of my children". That's pure BS. If business was booming like that, you'd do a soft landing then be flying back and forth in the meantime. Also that statement sets up your children to be blamed for any mishaps that may occur when in Canada. Such as: "see junior, I'm in this position because I came here because of you". Leave the children out of this. But back to the matter. All you had to say was me and my wife planned this migration and I am extremely nervous leaving all I know for a new country. Can anyone help me with business or employment ideas as the day is reaching, and my nerves are getting the best of me. Is that so hard ? The rest is unnecessary. It's ok for a man to admit their scared. I believe people have answered your question. Find out what interests you, then research how to achieve it. 61 Likes 1 Share |

SixSigma1: Don't know why you bothered. People like GodbPraised who spend all their time and money to migrate, then try to discourage people are enemy of progress. Canada is good for the kids yet why is he here ? A man doing well in naija will not leave simple. The "I did it for the kids" is the excuse people who can't make it in naija say when they migrate abroad. People in Canada are indebt and pay taxes. At least they have jobs. People in naija do all that minus having a job. People who stay abroad while complaining, bashing the place, etc are mentally unstable. How can you not like something but continue doing it ?

@Godbpraised My mom always use to say before giving me a beating, "before you I was". I use to always think I'd be able to trick her but she'd catch me. Because she use to do it herself as a youth. My friend I've been around the biggest fraudsters Canada has ever seen. There's a huge and vibrant naija 419 community in Toronto. They ALL inevitably get caught. They think they're original with their crimes but aren't. The police have seen it all. And this is first hand experience from family members who have been jailed in Canada. I also know many police officers both federally and municipal. The feds allow you to commit your crime while they watch you. Sometimes even for years. When they catch you and present you with significant evidence (They have to build their case), that's when your eyes will shine. Those Indians and Asians get caught all the time. Every fraud especially on a large scale inevitably gets caught. You know why ? Because of greed. Once most people cheat the system they simply get greedy and can't stop. That's when they come into police radar. Law and order is what makes this country go around. Same with other countries like the U.K., U.S., etc. Trillions and federal government resources are spent each year on it. Without no law/order and it being taken seriously, a country is essentially like Nigeria. It'll be hard for one average guy to beat the same. See how many people in the Trump administration getting arrested. See how many corrupted police officers are arrested and charged in Canada each year. And these are the people who work on the inside and have the ability to hide their fraud. Yet justice is still being served. If trumps admin can't get away from prosecution, you expect me to believe an average man will ? Maybe stealing a chocolate bar fine. You can get away with that one. But big time fraud ? Bros your days will be numbered. I've seen people like yourself say such a thing. Years later after the police breaks down their door and arrest them they understand the game. 20 Likes 1 Share |

vcole: Congo is Right. If someone said that to toboy in his face, the man is a joke to them. The prime minister can't say that to my face even off camera. He'd be too scared. White canadians are very covert with their racism. Their specialty is smiling and stabbing you in the back without you knowing it. Them letting you know They re racists gives us a strategic advantage to be able to defend ourselves. They don't like that.

SixSigma1: This guy, I intentionally didn't go into detail because I know he isn't taking me seriously. His SIN number is his DNA and you use it for almost everything here. He doesn't know from the moment he got his visa in Africa, the day he landed in Canada, till today, everything is recorded in this country. His ROE (record of employment), change of healthcard, change of drivers license, etc, in the new province, will further prove he has violated his PNP conditions along with the other things you said. The jamo guy in the article thought he was smart like this ewu. Probably thought this government was foolish like his wat gwaan bombaclot jamaican government back home. See how he started to cry when he originally got an order of deportation. He thought about waking up beside those chickens as well. NEVER mess with the government here. NEVER. Anyone who lives here knows it. I fear God then the federal government. Only 2 things in life that scares me. Lastly i know a Ghana girl who was on EI (employment insurance) while being unemployed. The conditions was you must stay in Canada the whole time looking for a job. She went to Ghana to party. When she returned to Canada her benefits was cut off. She was asked to repay back the money paid to her along with a 20k fine or so with interests. If she failed to comply the government was going to charge her with fraud and prosecute her. An arrest warrant would have occurred after her unsuccessful appeal. Shes paying back that fine till today. And she's illegible for EI ever again. 14 Likes 1 Share |

hayor2014: The lawlessness and stupidity of money hungary Nigerians is unreal. This person is ready to risk his PR status, the eligibility of his family coming to Canada, his sister's ability to sponsor more family members, etc just to make a few extra dollars per hour in another province. He's too foolish and selfish to realize him and his family benefits greatly in the long here if they're all in Canada. But like most Nigerians, he'd sell his soul and family out for a few dollars. Then he comes here with this nonsense sympathy story to ease his guilty conscience asking what to do. As if he hasn't already made up his mind. Why can't Nigerians follow the laws, especially when abroad ? Why ?? He'll soon find out this is not a banana republic or naija where you can manipulate the system without getting caught. When his fraud is caught and PR is revoked, and he goes back to waking up beside chickens running around, he'll now think I'm in this position because of greed. 25 Likes |
