Our first stop was at arc de lac for few minutes. Pic attached

Did a road trip with family from saskatoon, to Banff, then Calgary last month... Meanwhile I don't live in Canada, came visiting from the UK

Believe me, you'll enjoy this.

N/b, rented a car with Hertz at Saskatoon airport

wow, from Saskatoon to Banff would be minimum of 6 hours, Banff is so beautiful no doubt, I went there last year

Now at the rental car company and meeting up with people. I couldn't add picture because it's too heavy

Last month I went to Toronto and I told myself that I would create a thread when I'm back because I wasn't comfortable posting a live update but I was totally reluctant to do so when I came back so I'm going to Kelowna today for the long holiday and I decided to post as it goes.

I just finished packing my bag about to sleep before the seven hours trip

Hi everyone. Tech guys in the house, please what IT skill would you advise your friend to acquire if he's planning to relocate to Canada.

Is python with Django enough to earn a living (Either Nigeria or Canada)

Thanks in advance for your responses

Django is not enough at all, for web, most places prefer full stack, with python the person can easily move to data though but not software

AirBay:


Both, tech pays more.

it depends on the tech and it also depends on the health

Can anyone recommend any cheap US school?

LIVING IN MANITOBA
Please if you are living in Manitoba. I need a mentor who can guide me on the tech journey. I am caught in choosing to learn DATA ANALYTICS AND [b]WEB DEVELOPMENT. I want to choose one but don't know the one to go for in terms of job prospect after learning.
Please I need a mentor on who has gone through this journey and where to learn. Any bootcamp in Manitoba Biko!!!. I am on my knees begging eehhh. Thank you. Please reach out to me. Thank you.

I would say go for data analytics, data and web pay almost same but there are more things to learn in dev and more things to do.

Check out lighthouselab bootcamp, they were funded by the government to give scholarship at some point this year, I don't know if it's still open.

Likewise, don't be limited to Manitoba, I don't know how the tech job market is over there but you should always be open to remote

Landing Gist


I’m jet lagged and awake at 2am calgary time writting this post, I’m excited for this new chapter, scared that i moved by myself because people say its lonely without being married first but i guess i have coconut head. so if you are in Calgary lets hangout! if you know any eligible bachelor in calgary send them my way.

You can send pm so you can be added to a whatsapp group

emmybobo1:

But the guy you quoted actually said the truth. This is not about tribalism. Even here if you are selling agege bread to me, you must not touch it with your bare hand else I leave it for you.

I am not making a case for akpu, but after processing akpu the way you have described it is normally cooked three good times before serving for consumption .

Meanwhile, I am amazed at your level of pettiness

you're the one being petty, must you condemn other region? If they reply back now you'll call them bigot

Zonefree:
What in Chinelo's name is Gurasa?

So, he will use his bare hand to mix that thing without putting on hand gloves and a sane human will pay him and consume

Una dey try for that una Birnin Kebbi

even if I don't eat this, must you talk? I'm sure you eat puff puff, have you seen anyone using glove to mix it? Hypocrite, just because it's not from your region, if we turn the table around now you'll be the first person to start shouting bigot

ednut1:
Those people are simply ignorant, without more immigrants the country will collapse. Their opinion doesn’t matter in reality as IRCC will keep increasing the numbers. Same way some citizens will say they are coming to take our jobs. Same job you don’t apply for Any job that has small stress they are quick to scream mental health bla bla bla. Don't let anyone discourage you o.

This! I'm here jare it's just always funny to me when I see them

aestake:

Ok...Africa and Nigeria need to keep their people.

Make I no talk sha but who'll pay your pension when you retire? Dey play

Only indigenous people can say that sha

Profgordons:
You will be forgiven when you get on ground and face the realities! If you read his post very well, the issue is not because immigrants are anti-immigrants but when immigrants and all other members of the society see the challenges they face in “accessing” basic things, they wonder on the need for more. It is a natural instinct to survive.

If you get on a rescue boat, and the captain continues to allow more people, you may want to ask at what point he will stop allowing more people because you are dealing with finite resources…

I'm here and I don't know the realities you're talking about.

If Canada is a rescue boat that's sinking, what's Nigeria? Maybe the person might as well jump out to create space for people.

If you like leave conservative and vote NDP, they'll all keep bringing people because of some reasons.

aestake:

Know that immigration is not African problems' solution. Nobody said you should not come.

I'm here already . I wasn't talking about Africa sha

Zeewirld:
. "When you arrive and get settle in Canada you may also begin to become anti-immigration despite being an immigrant yourself because you begin to face a different set of realities."

This one is nonsense, forgive me sha but if you as an immigrant is anti immigration, you should be the first person to leave! No two-way around it

Timmypaul:
Hello everyone , please I have a little problem, I got my ita and am filling my application, have completed my application and wife’s own but for my kid, she doesn’t have s passport yet, and we have just 50days left. I tried making use of her birth certificate, it was requesting for expiring date how can I go about this cos I can’t proceed. Is there anyone who as had similar situation.

you're lucky it wasn't accepted at this point. If you had submitted without LOE, you would have been rejected within 3 weeks

Controlla123:


If I report her, dem go say I dey find the downfall of my fellow Nigerian

if you know you won't report her, please delete this thread.

Report her as fraud and take her to small claims court

edoairways:

Therefore those on hjab should obey rules at Covenant University

then they shouldn't be a venue for jamb if they won't be open to everyone. It's not compulsory to earn from jamb!

slydog:


Reduce volume bro, cos after I buy, I will get a 2nd one too

By God's grace and even go for the 3rd one. Not everyone is living or willing to live in Ontario

slydog:

No wonder Ontario folks are moving to our sweet Alberta and price of house is beginning to rise here.
I placed an offer for a laned home here for $440k, PSA was prepared and sent, before I could say jack, someone from Ontario added 15k to the house and owner accepted, was shocked.
Met a Nigerian nurse who moved to Edmonton Jan last yr, as I speak, he has 3 houses in Edmonton.

Calgary prices are going up because of the interest rate and people moving down here. Edmonton houses are more cheaper though

onegig:


And we complain about price increase and millions of young people not been able to afford to get homes?

I don't blame these buyers buying 3 , 4 houses to rent out and make money but housing should never be a primary investment. Buy house , sit on it without any investment or brain power. After 2 years it is worth 40% more. That's unsustainable for any economy.

Government should be taxing any 2nd , 3rd house which isn't the primary place of residence by at least 60% . This should discourage this nonsense.

real estate has always been a sure investment and will continue to be. A lot of incentives for first time home owners and from there you can continue to buy. YOLO

monerozi5590:


You guys should stop saying there's poverty in the north. Poverty is everywhere in Nigeria. We don't like it when people say that. Is an insult to us.

make una no vex, na the news wey we dey hear

DontBullshitMe:

Abia is doing better economically than all the 19 Northern states individually.

we are talking about effect of government not economy

DontBullshitMe:
The whole noise about Abia is a bit funny anyway.

If Abia state is badly governed, which states are been properly governed in Nigeria then?

Nigerians and self deceit. SMH.

have you been to other states in Nigeria? For 8 years, his achievement was domino pizza in Aba. Several northern states have way more better infrastructure just their poverty

highchief1:
their own daughter is now like a curse to them.may we never regret having kids.Even after the jail term he is crippled forever.It’s quite unfortunate.That boy is a wicked boy he won’t end well.

he should have allowed them to use his own kidney abi, will you say same if he was your son? Anoufia

AyabaS:

Haba! that is a huge exaggeration. There’s probably a decent number of people earning in that range but not 80%. [b]I agree that Canada is an expensive country, the cost of living is insane. [/b]I’ve never lived in UK so can’t offer any insights there but I have several friends there on work permits and study visa and they are all on this Canada waka so something is obviously missing that is spurring them on to still pursue Canada.

The only place I believe is unreasonable is even some parts of Ontario like Toronto, GTA and the likes as well as Vancouver every other place is much more affordable

Freshfish4:
Stupid lie, we will vote labour party. You people should come try that bullsh*t you did in eti osa again

Go and vote labour party in your village. Let's compare the achievement of APC in Lagos in the last 8 years to any state in Nigeria.

Don't tell me the money they generate because we know how much Delta and Bayelsa receive with their tiny population but yet they are still part of the worst states in Nigeria, I know Sanwo Olu has been useless for the most of it sha

Margs:
Thanks got one. Why does the basement sound scary to me?

because it's actually scary

njambert:


Thanks for your reply.Would you recommend it for a start for newcomers? I've been doing alot of research and I'm mostly choosing for its cheaper homes both for renting and buying.And I'm hoping commuting to and fro isn't too far from Calgary Downtown as I plan to open a business and don't want to be very far from immigrant population

Move to Calgary, the difference in rent doesn't worth it. It's like "Mowe to Lagos". Just my opinion sha
