Hmmn...am so grateful for the reply sir....I optioned Calgary cos I felt its cheaper to settle there due to cheaper cost of living ,buying house in future n the likes...compared with Toronto where cost of living is huge.....so I felt probably one could get Finance/bank jobs too in Calgary...

In a completely unrelated matter, if anyone is interested in seeing the Raptors-L.A. Lakers game on Thursday evening let me know as I have a spare ticket.

amdman:
I am yet to see anyone taking a leak by the roadside, so no come start am for here

For me, first is mind conditioning and using it to control your body. Second is discipline and proper planning. Piss before you comot for house or office. Last last, if all else fails, public toilets exist in some public buildings, or enter a business, patronize them and patronize their toilet too

User support from what I know is not as strict interview wise so I wouldn’t bother with Leetcode or CTCI. Best to just focus on learning a bit about the product you’ll be supporting but I’m not an expert in the area so I can’t say for certain .

If you have any kind of technical background and some certifications I don’t think it’ll be too hard getting an entry level IT job in Ontario. might take a few months of looking though

At the end of the day it depends what you’re passionate about , if you’re passionate about it you’ll be good at it and if you’re good at it and pray and trust God ,there are jobs

hi guys Iam currently in Calgary, I came in to Canada 2 weeks ago but I have found the IT market here is not so robust for me as an application support analyst.

I have registered for the alberta health card but yet to get it, as a FSW/express entry am considering moving to Ontario, any problem with that ? MY SIN printout carries Alberta aaddress wont this be a problem ?

I am currently staying with a friend here in Calgary so if anyone has moved from Alberta to ontario or from any other province to Ontario please advise me.

According to a Brookings Institution study published in 2009, if a person graduates from high school, works a fulltime job, and waits until twenty-one to get married and have children, his or her chance of succeeding in life and becoming a member of the middle class rises to 76 percent. If a person doesn’t finish high school, doesn’t marry, and has a baby before the age of twenty-one, his or her chance of becoming poor soars to 74 percent.

The Brookings researchers seem to have understood that the breakdown of the black family has been the main driver of the chronic wealth gap between whites and blacks over the past five decades. The lack of intact families among blacks leads to a lack of education and jobs, which translates into higher rates of crime and government dependency among blacks.

You don’t have to be a scientist to see that a child born to an unmarried single mother isn’t going to have a rosy future in life.

DexterousOne:
All you said up there is captured in my second sentence about "some small strides made"

But it does not change the fact that Nigeria is a very misogynist and sick society

If it wasn't, a lot of women won't be embracing these ideals the way and manner they are embracing it.

If you, or you mum or your aunt has received the short end of the stick, you would understand better

The onus is on you Nigerian men to adjust and compromise, or the Nigerian society will blow in 10 years, because the women these days are not ready for crap anymore, and despite me being a man, I support it 100 %

emma4eva:
You have a point, it's a reason I didn't think about it much then, she might have being high on something too, weed is legal. It was a Canadians that told me her comment was intended to be an insult. My post was supposed to be entertaining though, 99% of people here are nice.

DexterousOne:
Nigeria is still a highly misogynist country

Though it has made some strides in recent decades

But I'm 2019, women.are still threatened to be thrown out of their "matrimonial home" and in some cases thrown out.

Many other despicable things done against women are still in place.

justwise:
This is not a convincing argument especially when it comes to sexual harassment, you can not pick and choose the level of sexually harassment to tackle.

Was the metoo movement focused on those sex attackers on the street?

I'm even worried that you showed up to support him even when he condemned both protesting on the street and metoo movement.

So sexual harassment victims choose to be sexually abused because they did not say no?

The same way some morally bankrupted Nigerians will condemn EFCC for arresting yahoo yahoo boys rather than big political figures but these crooks steal their way to a political position.

DexterousOne:
And you feel "conservative principles" are the best principles?

justwise:
Your choice of moniker explains why you support sexual harassment

Imagine them wanting you to miss your flight.
Cannyland will favour you

negal:
They really helped me o.

negal:
Please don’t discourage others. If you apply all they thought you, you will go places. They helped me rebrand my resume and helped refer me to some companies. I used them before landing and also after landing I attended a few of their networking events.

In summary I got a job in my field about 2 weeks after landing. �

Ifeoma77:
They are very helpful o. Besides, it's free, so what's there to lose?

Ifeoma77:
I attended an ACESS webinar yesterday and we were asked to spread the word that they've added a new stream to their prearrival service.
Before now, you couldn't obtain pre-arrival service from them unless you were in;
Engineering
Financial Services
Human Resources
Sales and Marketing or
Supply Chain

They've added another one now called;
Leadership

The leadership option is available to any and every one who doesn't fall into the other five streams.
You have to have gotten PPR before you'll be accepted into the program.

Just fyi

Hi Seniors,

I've been following this thread since I submitted my Permanent Residency Application.

I studied chemical engineering. I have an MSc in Chemical Engineering. But my only experience was internship in ExxonMobil. I'm currently in Banking (1 Year Experience).

I do want to find my way back into Engineering. My initial plan was to enroll into a diploma course once I land while doing any job I can lay my hands on to pay the bills.


However, I just got married and wifey is carrying. So this plan isn't very feasible anymore. I'd appreciate any suggestion and different perspective from seniors.

I skipped this in my previous response, I have over 5 years of banking experience this includes exposure to banking operations, marketing, investments and IT.

I stumbled on a free course online by a professor at Georgia Tech which concentrates on a machine learning path for an investment/hedge funds specialisation and having gone through the curriculum, it seems I will be concentrating on financial services sector as a Data Analytics Scientist also because of my background in banking. I think this will count as a linear progression in career path.

If anyone needs a link to this material please PM me. It a gentle introduction to Machine learning for financial services and I think its not bad at all.
