Wow!!! I'm finally here, I've been dreaming of this day and I thank God for the upgrade from STUDENT Visa application thread to this one. Yipeeeeeeee!!! 

I appreciate all those that have been keeping this thread alive, thank you, thank you and thank you again.

I got my PPR yesterday and I intend to travel anytime soon, get my study permit and other necessary docs to apply for my SOWP, and then return to Nigeria as my classes is online for this term. Please gurus, is this a wise decision?

Secondly, please someone should help add me to the Ontario group as that is my province. My school is in London but I can stay anywhere around GTA since my classes will be online.

Thank you all as i await your response
Thank you.

Hello landed seniors, please can someone help with me with the best way to move funds from Nigeria to Canada. Thanks

@egobetatoday the skimmed powered milk tastes horrible. Tastes even worse than dano skimmed milk in naija.

egobetatoday:


Thank you NaijaCanadian28, 19CannyMum and Hayor2014 for the valuable information on naija food substitute. I'm so interested in this discussion and think it is relevant to the goal of this thread. Abeg, what suggestions do you have for milk. Going through YouTube Videos I discovered a small tin of powdered peak milk (900g) costs $26. I think it is expensive ...for something that won't last more than 4 days in my house. I've heard so much about the liquid milk they have there. Are the really that flat and tasteless? Which grocery store milk options/substitute will you suggest?

Dyolahh:

Hello
Please I want to find out about spousal work permit.
I’m a student currently in Canada and my program ends in august. My wedding is in August and I intend on applying for a spousal work permit for my husband after the wedding.
Considering the fact that my program would end at that time, will this be a problem in the application?

Hello All,

This week must not pass without exempting people with COPR issued after March 18,2020 but we have got to give our best and offer extra support.

*We have noticed a golden opporunity (golden goal or last minute penalty kick ⚽� ) to be used. But we must work together to optimise the opportunity.*

So, Minister of Immigration, Marco is having a townhall session with Canadian Residents on March 18th 2021 - exactly 1 year from Lockdown - so we want all landed colleagues to register and join the meeting with the ultimate purpose of being a voice for our plight.

Please, we need Canadian contacts (Residents) who are passionate about our plight and would represent us by asking the appropriate questions and make plea (where possible) as it relates to exempting COPR holders after March 18, 2020.

Thank you in anticipation.L

Hello Calgary folks,

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get good used summer tires in Calgary. I do understand it's advisable to buy new tires but I am not willing to commit too much of funds to such for now.

Someone recommended Groupon to me last year for my oil change and it was extremely helpful. I wouldn't mind such recommendation for fairly used tires.

Thank you!

From those that were bounced

What is the average income of a migrant who works in Canada when his/her qualification is SSCE and what is the average amount of feeding expenses for one person in Canada?

Also, what type of jobs are available for someone with such qualification.

Thanks.

55emem55:
You people that are traveling this month and next month, you do realise that stringent travel restrictions are currently in place. They are bouncing people seriously at the airport. Today, over 150 people were asked to go back. If your COPR is after March 18th, I suggest you check very well before booking your flight.

Canada no be like Nigeria oh... they will bounce you sharply.

JIREN01:
Thanks so much boss. I really appreciate the heads up.

Systrom:


I’m going with a student visa

Any chance ?

Systrom:
but will the visa be easy to get ?

You know how USA visit visa is hard from Nigeria

Will applying from Canada be easier or have any benefits ?

NaijaCanadian28:




Pls where did you get the info about needing Canadian ID to open a bank account. I opened my bank account with my Nigerian passport and study permit about five years ago. I also used my Nigerian passport and my auntie’s address to get my phone line. Maybe you should apply for your SIN after you have gotten your phone bill. Just wondering if things have changed, I applied for a new SIN (online)May last year and I didn’t need proof of address, they form just asked for an address.

Dejavu44:
Hello Guys,
Please I'm in a bit of a quagmire situation here and need your advice.
I just landed Calgary and in Day 5 of my quarantine and plan to hit the ground running as soon as I'm done with quarantine. But I'm trying to apply for my
i) SIN
ii) Bank account
iii) Phone line.

The issue is to get SIN, I need proof of address in my name which can be bank statements/letter or utility bill which I have none, I'm will be staying at a relatives place for the first few weeks/months.

Now the 2nd issue is to open a bank account i need a valid Canadian ID which I also have none until I get my Pr card which the immigration officer has told me can take up to 2 months to come through the mail.

So does this mean I have to wait for my Pr card before I can start applying for these things??

Please guys, those that have come before me, how did you do it?

shadama:

Thank you for your response. Just wondering whether you know anyone that applied with their COPR?
Because IRCC has been acting funny lately. I can't find much info on it online but one person posted on canadavisa that they applied with COPR and got a response "we can't grant you exemption because you don't have a valid travel document such as visitor visa or eTA" or something of the likes. Maybe they needed to see an actual copy or something With regards to your own situation, there was someone who had a similar issue on the visit visa thread and ended up emailing again and got the exemption for their sister.

shadama:
Hello everyone, quick question please in case anyone has an idea.
For someone who has a COPR and a sibling in Canada and wants to travel, would they be able to apply for exemption?
Or would they need to apply for a visit visa in order to qualify for exemption?
I would appreciate any insight into this.

globtex:
Pls anyone with idea about Semi immigrant Visa?

.How does this work?

Honeydoc:
This is wrong actually. WES will evaluate a Nigerian DVM as a professional certificate.

mobenjackson:


He can use WES for immigration purposes (speaking from personal experience), but for practicing in Canada, i doubt WES will pass.

DRiches:

Thanks so much brother.

Since the husband can claim Masters/professional degree, is it advisable that he should be the primary applicant? Someone says the wife should be the primary applicant but her level of degree and year of work experience (2yrs) is not up to husband. Is age advantage of the wife enough to make her the primary applicant?

How can the husband claim Masters degree, when we doing the evaluations of the certificate?

Thanks so much.. I don’t want the question to get to much... But answer to the above questions will as well give me a broad view.

Let them simulate their CRS using the two of them as primary applicant, the person with the highest CRS should be the primary applicant.

Hello NL family, i just landed yesterday and I'm in day 2 of my quarantine. I'm looking for a place to stay permanently after I'm done with quarantine and will want to know if anyone here can help with any info in finding accommodation preferably in Ottawa. Thanking you all in advance

DRiches:
Hello house, please I’m making this enquiry for my brother. He is a Veterinary Doctor (DVM) with 4years of working experience, 33yrs old. His wife (26yo) is a Nurse (Bsc) with approximately 2years of working experience. Please, what do they need to start with on this journey of EE?

Do they really have prospect in Canada? I’m suggesting Australia for them as the second choice because I don’t know if Canada is better for their professions.


Is it advisable for both of them to evaluate their certificate with WES and also write IELTS together?

What are the likely IELTS bands that can make them enter the EE pool?

I would really appreciate it if anyone can reply me.

Thanks a lot

If you haven't started yet, you can still send them your course description. Even after registering for classes you would still be given a few weeks after school starts to drop any course. I didn't even ask the school about mine, I just uploaded my course description as part of my application documents.
Lakehead is a good school if you don't mind living in NW Ontario. I heard that in bigger cities schools compete amongst themselves for clinical placement locations for their students. I don't know how true it is. But we don't have that problem here

And the school fees is about $7, 200 per year for PR/citizens.
