[b]She has no right to do that [/b]but I must advice that you be diplomatic in dealing with her. Play along with her till such a time when you can stand on your own. As for your brother, allow him to go along with the name change because when the time comes, a man Will always be a man.

who talk am?

And op, was the fidelity on your mother's or father's end?

leody:

But one guy said food is expensive in Canada like here in Nigeria too. He even posted some pictures of what he bought at a very costly rate.
I'm even less concerned about that, all that matters is a good healthcare system where I can treat myself,good economy,24/7 electricity,good roads,and fast Internet...

General food is relatively cheaper like rice, pasta but if you're talking about food for Nigerians like beans, Garri, those ones are expensive

BeanmanX:
Him eyes done clear now,,,APC show am shege!

Vote peter obi and u will never regret it...

who apc no show shege?

pocohantas:


Yes, PARBOIL the indomie.

Fry your vegetables, add the noodles. Stir and serve. If you want it runny, reserve some of the water from the parboiled noodles.

okay, thanks, I'll surely try it

pocohantas:

Minus the chicken ( I only do this if I have fried chicken), I can’t eat noodles if it isn’t stir-fried.

How do you make your stir fried indomie, do you boil the indomie separately and mix it with the stir fried sauce?

Basiljoe:

Yes, totally, I figured out that the secret to the luxurious "umami" chinese flavor lies in how you flavor your food with Soy/Oyster Sauce, especially the oyster sauce.

I have been seeing this soy/oyster recently, I thought it's only Chinese people that use it, I'll also try it then

Samuelobiora19:


I think there is another way out, which is unpopular..A lady said she included her husband as accompanying after getting PPR as unaccompanied...She said it is legal tho not popular among people, maybe you can tow that path... You need to get ITA as soon as possible with that score as changes to EXPRESS ENTRY would commence from the 1st quarter of next year.. Good luck

maybe they were not married at the time of submission. The one I know that re-added after AOR, the husband had to write IELTS and the likes and was sent through webform

[quote author=Vanillawafers post=116661973][/quote] It's because you aren't following the steps religiously, you might not get it the first or second time and once you aren't pressing 0 at exactly 12pm Lagos time, you'll have to wait till the next day.

Vanillawafers:
Hi everyone,

Please does anyone know of any law firm I can contact in Canada for a judicial review?. I have been sending emails to orcc since the week after I received the denial letter but I haven't heard anything from them and the 60days deadline is on the 25th of this month.
I usually get automated responses from those emails, I'm not even sure they've seen them at all.

Thank you

How to call IRCC within a min.

Go to ur play store or Apple store, download an app called Viber. After confirming it, dial +1-800-267-6788

Calling hrs is between 8am and 4pm which is 12noon to 8pm Nigeria time at the moment.

They operate in such a way that before there client support can receive calls, it must be exactly 8am

So you'll call them like 3 mins to that 8am

When you call, you'll first press 1 to select English

You'll press 2 to be connected to IRCC and this period, they'll tell you that client support department is closed but never mind.... Continue

After that you'll be asked to press 1 to provide your UCI but press 2 that you don't have

It doesn't affect anything because once they pick you'll still provide your UCI again and you need not to waste time providing it again thereby taking more time you are spending on the call

So this period, you'll be asked to choose number again, you can take style to waste time by listening to the options so that the time would be like 1 min to 12noon. Your phone time

The next number you'll choose is after pressing 2 that you don't have UCI is 3

After that, the next number you'll press is 2

Then the last number to direct you to the agent is 0, the moment your time changes to 12 noon exactly, press 0

Infact, the call won't spend 5 seconds before an agent will pick


If you missed this time, you can try it later but what they'll tell you is that there are plenty people on queue. You have to call back later and if you are lucky to be connected, get ready to wait for as long as 1hr if at all an agent picks it

Vanillawafers:
I have sent to these emails daily but usually get automated responses.

The whole damn delay in releasing TEF results for May /June is becoming to frustrating ..

Please has anybody seen their result for May / June TEF?

TEF staff don't work in August, they go for vacation so they don't release result in August, they do so 1st to 2nd week in September so it should be out soon

Shokoloko:


4. Cold: This thread would be incomplete if I don’t mention the harsh weather conditions in Canada. Summer barely lasts for 3 months and the rest of the year you’re cold. Is the weather unbearable? Absolutely not, but it’s very sad and depressing. Imagine having to go to work on a cold morning at 6am when it’s pitch black (cos sunrise during winter is like 7am) to a survival job that doesn’t care if you’re 10 minutes late. There’s something called winter depression and it’s unexplainable, you have to witness it yourself to fully grasp what it’s like. As most people age, they just can’t deal with the cold anymore and would rather move somewhere else that is much warmer. [b]I agree its cold. To avoid winter depression buy SAD lights and take lots of vitamin D. Stop sitting at home covering yourself, go out and ski, buy a toboggan. At least I am sure that in Ottawa there are Nigerian parties and get togethers running from July (summer) all the way to December. Find one and attend.

Please the SAD lights are different typos Amazon, can you recommend any particular one? Thank you

apolonius:


If you dey GTA, go to ATL and Toop Lounges. Add EST 2020. You will be fine after 2-3 visits.

na Calgary wey I dey

ednut1:
instagram , clubhouse, meet up etc are free apps to meet people in Canada. Clubs , parks and tourist attractions too dey. You go see people there

thank you for the recommendation, I'll check them out

ednut1:
Although the op na my friend i will tackle her.

1. There are people building wealth in cheaper provinces like Alberta or New Brunswick where houses go for 300k to 400k. In Ontario its like 900k to 1.5m for the average house and you suppose drop 5% deposit for mortgage. Married people or common law guys are able to build wealth too due to combined income. Solution is move to a cheaper province, get married or find a partner.

3 . Boredom and loneliness- Nigerians move to a cold country and refuse to do what whites do in the winter. Whose fault is that Many ladies from Nigeria have unrealistic expectations and are single to stupor. Whose fault is that Lol
4 cold. Get a good winter jacket or knacks partner. Nothing dey there

I know people especially tech who moved to usa after getting their Canada citizenship. More money is involved and passport privileges too don set. The Canadian passport opens doors to better countries

Regarding 1 and 4 to get partner, I haven't been here for long, where una dey see partners, the apps I downloaded where asking for 30 dollars per month, na so una dey pay, abeg recommend wetin to do

Creativebelle:
You are just angry for nothing tbh..freedom of speech,religion etc no dey again?..if people want to attribute it to God,let them be! If you want to attribute it to your own human spirit,so be it! If na stone, plant,trees etc anybody wan thank..let them feel free! If anyones wants to even thank BUBU,they should!
I don't see why anyones way of life will bother you and others this much..its not that deep jare..
Una just like to argue..

I agree with what you said but you see that bubu ehn


Just kidding

Calgary

MaameU:
Hi my Future Canadian Family, I have been seeing people provide advise on the list of essential items to take to Canada but I have not seen any mention of which shipping company to use. Please which shipping company is best for shipping items to Canada? Is shipping cheaper than paying for extra luggage? Your suggestion will be very helpful.

"Best" shipping company depends on your city, Ontario has the largest option BTW, some don't ship to other location. If it's Calgary, I can recommend one

topellycategory:
Don't mind them a lot of Nigerians are hypocrite, They say something online and they do different thing offline.
I know them very well.

Exactly

Macy4real200:
Thank you. Someone told me that I can collect from them should I need it. I was just curious to know if it will be a problem if I eventually collect it.

Yes, you can do so, no problem at all

Macy4real200:
Good day my people. Pls is there any downside in collecting food from food bank. I dont want anything that will cause wahala when it's time for my citizenship. I really need your opinion plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

No downside, fill your income and expenditures, they'll let you know if you will get or not. According to them, your details are deleted after you have gotten it.

You can also volunteer there anytime you are free

iboboyswag:


This is apt. Nah just say I no get time for too much long talk.

Many are in the UK not because condition bad baje.

The conditions in Nigeria are relative and the "government cost" for basic things are near socialist standards, making room for all strata of the demography.

But this UK... Nah just light, credit (a trap) and passport dem get.

why are you still there? You can go back to your country that has more than that

grasiouso:
Please I need help.

My husband seized my Visa and COPR so I’m unable to travel.

I am heavy and due to travel in August with my ticket already booked.

He has travelled already and he took my passport with visa and my COPR and cut off communication with me. He never even allowed me see the COPR cos he had his plans so now I’m stranded in Nigeria and need help on what to do.

Please how do I go about retrieving these documents from IRCC?

A little background:

The marriage has been filled with serious emotional abuse from my husband mainly because I was added to his Canadian EE application. He willingly added me just after we got married and this somehow delayed his getting PPR as it took over 2 years before it finally came. I have seen hell in this 2 years with him constantly blaming me for the delay, then he would accuse me of not being submissive and appreciative of the sacrifice. He threatens me with divorce all the time saying I'm not submissive and he cannot take a woman he cannot control to Canada. Repeatedly tells me he made a mistake marrying me. He tells me no man can ever do what he did for me. That most men will not add their partner to their application and that I'm supposed to be worshiping him. Note that I had to bear all the financial requirements for everything concerning my own.

You guys should have gone through the divorce because this one is

Maybe he doesn't know how abuse in Canada works. Most likely you were not even the cause of the delay except if he had already gotten PPR before adding you if not you were not the cause and that shouldn't matter where there's love. Just mail MP, send webform or call ircc and that's all

misterjosh:
Be like outcome of Osun state elections done make some of these governor's wake up... Hope it doesn't end up being "initial gragra".

I swear, that guy is very useless, élection is coming what he left for more than 3 years, now he is suddenly issuing ultimatum
