I understand, but when a minister in the most immigration-friendly government says a study visa is not a guaranteed pathway to permanent residency, it becomes hilarious in a way.

To be fair to him, he is right. The sudden change is disappointing tho.

They have always maintained that, the onus is on the potential student to check and weigh their options before choosing length of study, province of school and where they would be using their work permit e.t.c

Hello everyone,

Please does anyone know of a Nigerian here who works with the Canadian Federal Government as a Permanent resident?

I ask because I know that to work with the FG as a non-citizen of Canada, a security clearance is required from your home country. And I recently learnt that the Nigerian govt never responds to the security clearance request. Someone I know says he was turned down at the interview stage when they learnt he's Nigerian and they gave him the reason "it's very difficult getting security clearance done for Nigerians" but this was many years ago.

I've tried to ask around and haven't been able to find anyone who knows a Nigerian who's successfully done it recently. Those I found had become Canadian citizens before getting into the FG jobs.

So I'm starting to believe the guys who say it may be a worthless venture applying to those roles as a PR with Nigerian citizenship. *phew

Apart from CCIS, you can get any FG job. Security clearance depends on the role though especially those that has to do with some information and some of them require 5 years stay in Canada but it's often in the job description so if it isn't there, apply!

So how does your accusations of the Israeli government funding Hamas at any point make Hamas and IPOB/UG the same??
Hamas rules Palestine, IPOB doesn't rule the SE.
Let the Nigerian government send a missile into Russia if we have one and watch what will happen??
Shebi na only our leaders alone go be the casualty of that decision shey?

Anyways, people like us will keep talking and amplifying the atrocities going on there and people like can keep supporting genocide

I do wonder how all these genocides and apartheid, like Rwanda, South Africa, Congo happened or still happening like in the case of Congo but it's because of people like you that support them for reasons

Hamas is actually the elected party ruling Gaza, when did the UG or IPOB become the ruler of the South East?
Hamas was elected in 2006, supported and funded by Isreali government at some point, most of the people in Gaza weren't even born or eligible to vote then.

IPOB have supporters everywhere and by you guys definition, they and everybody around them should be murdered

Abeg experts in the house help me out here. The time to get our Canadian mobile is here and I need your advice.

We have used our French data for a few months now (20 euros per month) but it is time to get a Canadian mobile plan.

We used textme plus our French mone but time to do a full switch.

What mobile data do you use. We are in the GTA. Does 50 dollars à month for 40 GB with Freedom mobile make sense?

Huge gulf in mobile communication between Canada and France by the way. The gulf is scary.
I use freedom and it's pretty cheap and reliable, after few months of usage, call them and they'll give you discount, the only con is that it isn't available everywhere, like if you live in Calgary and you're traveling to Edmonton, you might not really have service till you get to Edmonton outside that, it's awesome

You are a confirm liar; historically the Bible predates any drafted Arab history (fake world map)about Israel. The Land belongs to Israel and the Palestinians are the visitors.

Fanatic, maybe the old Isreal might be in that region but nothing is sure that it's in current Palestine.

After WW, Britain looked at many options of were to relocate the jews including faraway Madagascar and they just choose current Palestine so that UN map is correct, if they brought them to your village and sent you away maybe that would have been better

It's like black Americans going to one country in Africa, send them packing and say it's their land, yes, they are likely from Africa but where in Africa, who knows

Mind you, these people are killing the Christians there too but in your small mind, you don't care because your Bible say so

Insha Allah

Shut up, stop prolonging this thing, they have been on it for the 70 years, looking at the recent genocide, most Western countries are actively funding Isreal though people are now talking but yet Palestine has no recognized government and no funding except those sent to NGO there and we know how NGOs operate, no need to drag, divide it and let's everybody rest

The Civilians Hamas killed in Israel are not humans right? Any Civilians still in northern Gaza is a terrorist and a terrorist sympathiser. Israel gave them ample of time to leave but they kept adamant because they are terrorist in making. The good ones have left already.

100 percent they are civilians.

You think it is easy to just carry your bag and start moving? Yet there are reports of Isreal killing people that are running to the south, what justifies that too

They even just blewed a refugee camp in the south o, they have blown hospitals, ancient church, attacked with white phosphorous and there wikileak document saying the main aim is to drive them away so they can take more land

Every Isreali house is built with a bunker and a bomb shelter. Every Damm house. Whenever they send missiles from their terrorist enclave,they run into the bunker. They are surrounded by people who want the total destruction of Isreal

Easy with the false information, they have iron dome is not that every houses comes with a bunker. Who are the people who want their total destruction? They have been killing Palestinians since forever but you're claiming opposite

Yet the country who you want the total destruction is the most advanced in all areas of life than you people. Economically and in all areas of life.
Germany was more developed economically and in all areas of life(in your own words) when holocaust happened, it only means one thing, they are oppressing people in Gaza as well as west banks

Yet,you are dirt poor and living in penury. Instead of you accepting the fact that Isreal has the right to live as much as you do,you keep on attacking them and when they retaliate,you hide behind civilians and claim victimhood.

I don't know what you mean by "you" in that sentence if you mean me, I can categorically tell you that you don't have my networth but I won't go there, if you want to, we can check and I can tell you that you're the poor one here, emotionally, financially and in all ramifications. If you're talking about the Palestinians, if only you can be open minded and read to see that these guys are the victim, even before October 7, Isreal has been attacking them and fight from people in Gaza is mostly done by Hamas, if IPOB attack police station in SE, like they have done, can FG attack the whole town and k*ll everybody?

By the time all of these is done, The entire Middle East will be so shaken,they won't try this with Isreal again

You're just been a fanatic with this statement, I can see that the reason why you're supporting Isreal is because your God said they are the choosen one and in my opinion you're not different from boko haram and co who believes they are fighting for God one way or the other

And if you're not dumb, apart from Turkey who isn't really in the Middle East, the rest have either looked away or kept quiet while genocide is going on and you said Middle East is shaken

P.S. This same Gaza was given up by the Isreali 's in 2005 for the sake of peace yet instead of accepting Isreal's olive branch they still want to destroy them off the face of the earth.

This is 100% lie, they left but still under their control, they can't even dig well without permission from Isreali government, the first time I saw Gaza on TV maybe around 2011, it was the same genocide that happened then, just Google Gaza and you'll read how they have been bombarded so many times and you said they left.

A document was just leaked by wiki leak and it shows that Isreali government just want to send them away and take more land as usual. They are even going as far as wanting to help Egypt to clear their IMF debt so Egypt can take them as refugees and they can take the land since there's no oil where Isreal has hijacked at this moment

Isreal gives Gaza water,light, about 50,000 Gazans come to work in Isreal every day when Hamas as kept its own people in poverty and penury They were given which they pay for btw because they don't have authority to do that on their own and the same Hamas was founded, funded, used and supported by Isreali government

You know why I like them? They are a resilient group of people who knows how to stand up to Bullies. Adolf Hilter killing about 6Million Jews in the Holocaust didn't deter them. They even came out stronger after that and they are masters calling out the bullshit of anyone.
At this point they are the bullies and even if Nigeria receive the amount of financial support Isreal has been receiving they won't be where they are

Next time,what you can't accep, you don't throw it at people again cos when they react you won't find it funny

You're right but in this case, it isn't civilians that threw the stone and the people that threw it were supported by Isreal and those people are hiding in tunnels that Isreal also know that air bombardment and the chemicals which are war crime can't get to them but they choose to continue their genocide

Nonesense!
Yeah, nonsense, I used to wonder how genocides, holocaust and other war crimes were committed in the early days but it's because of nonsense people like you who support it either for religious reasons or something more mundane

I get this totally but like I said, I’m not looking to get the highest score more like if I can get B1 scores or intermediate scores.

Asides joining Alliance, I also got the services of a private tutor. So while I’m doing A1 with Alliance, I’ll do A2 with my private tutor and we’ll drill down into TEF.

I’ve also gotten books and I’m getting more. Hopefully I can attain the score I need to scale up.

I like the positive attitude, once you have gotten to B1, find a speaking partner and speak French for atleast 30 minutes everyday, that's the only way to improve speaking

For reading, I don't know if they still repeat long texts but if they do, start going through it and cram the answers if you can

For Listening, at every moment possible make sure you're listening to something in French, you'll notice some improvements yourself, once you get to a comfortable level, start going through the past questions and do all of them, do them repeatedly

For writing, first learn all the grammar and tenses, write and be conscious of error with time

If you're just starting Feb/March might not be feasible but nevertheless go all in for it especially if there are no other commitment

With the current interest rate? And furnished? Probably all inclusive? This is a great deal!!!

Do you know what utilities cost these days? The other day we paid $640 for gas, water and electricity - and it’s not winter yet. Last winter our enmax bill went up to $1050.

So before you comment about someone trying to rip people off, think again!!!

Check out how much property taxes are now.
Research current interest rates
Confirm rate of utilities

Then come back and apologize to poster.

SMH

In Alberta, no rental cap so the landlord can rent at any amount which is fine but when you want to rent at a price that you, you in your mind too, know that is way higher than market price and only new immigrants without credit score will rent it because of the current rental market and you specifically head hunt for them, I don't know if it's extortion or not

A great deal is $2000 for a basement in Calgary where condo/main floor is between 1400 and 1900? Yeah, interest rate has gone up but at 5٪ $2000 would be more than 65% of a decent morgage(I don't want to talk about this one sha) and it's obvious that utilities is not inclusive

Maybe you should also think again before ripping people off

Property taxes that's 1500 per year for the whole house abi which one again

For personal reasons, I would even prefer rent to be increasing sef but you should remember that in as much as profit must be made especially because of unexpected maintenance and the likes, we were new immigrants too at some point and specifically making settling down more uncomfortable is somehow

Not trying to defend ripping people off.But $2k for 2 two bedroom *furnished* basement sounds reasonable to me.We would have definitely gone for this option if we found any one available when we landed in Calgary 4months ago.Instead,we rented a two br basement airbnb at $120 a day,which would have costed us over $3k a month.We ended up leaving Calgary after 2weeks for Edmonton,but I would have gladly stayed longer in Calgary to find a place for more time had we found this type of affordable short term rental.

Renting out a basement for 2000 dollars in Calgary where the average rent for main floor is between 1400 and 1900 is crazy. You know nobody who's already here for more than 6 months would rent that despite the very crazy rental market. You just want to take advantage of new immigrants because you know they are the only one who would rent that and I like the fact that you kuku just focus on them grin, forgetting that you were one
