Am asking because their elder brothers in JSs1 and 3 will join them soonest in the UK. They are 11 and 13 years old respectively. Will they be admitted back to Primary school? Or Secondary school. Honestly this UK school system is confusing

[b]Police Report Request :


Good Morning all,

I have received a request from IRCC to provide updated police clearance for my husband and I. Our application was submitted in July 2020.

I lived in the USA at the time and was able to present this police report. I have since relocated back to Nigeria in December 2020 and want to ask if I go ahead to remind them that I raised a case note notifying of my change in address. Or, do I simply go ahead and provide the clearance for Nigeria and the USA?

Please help. Thanks

If he is 4 plus, then he will resume reception/Nursery 2

Gloriouscrown:
Hello,@ LagosismyHome, justwise please will a 4year old be resuming in primary or nursery come January? I'm sorry if this has been answered previously

You can apply yourself, you don't need an agent and there is no application fee to universities in the UK.

codedarrow:
Pls Help,

You might need to go private. Did mine at a place called fast test in Orlando. it was 149$.

Debbieeeeeee:
Good morning mama’s please for those who have left the usa recently, where can one get per COVID test done to return to Nigeria and typically how long before the flight did you get the test done. I’m seeing cvs and Walgreens but they’re asking for state ID and ssn

Try Canada, you have what it takes.

quote author=tunlex01 post=95412483]

All marketing occupations are level 1 which means your degree from Lasu cannot assess them. Now that you have an MBA, all your 8 years experience will not be approved so you are gonna lose experience point.
In addition, Vetassess requires at least 1 year experience for assessment which you do not have as your recent degree is 2020.

Your spouse is also in an occupation not being nominated for candidates offshore.
My advice, check the occupation list to see if there is any occupation you can nominate.

If your spouse can also get an internal redeployment or keep applying to big fours in Australia, she may be lucky.[/quote]

You can order your GCMS notes yourself, you don't need to have a family in Canada to do so.

quote author=Dameelee post=93664825]Good morning House,

I haven't ordered mine because I don't have a family in Canada.
Not sure what to do...please if you can help me out with this, abeg let me know.[/quote]

Interviews are done in Accra.

nayo10:
Good day guys, gurus in the house help me decipher my gcmsnotes o, just got it today after applying since April, on the eligibility part, I saw recommend interview and I don't think Nigeria does interview for visa application. Guys pls kindly explain what does that means ?

Thank you very much gir this information. I am looking at Signal hill, Springbank hill, Strathcona Park, Bridlewood and Westsprings area. Thanks

rosepetraaa:
Calgary is quite spreadout, you know. If you let us know the school you're interested in, then one can give you suggestions. Saying SW is quite broad! You will need to be more specific.

Anyways, one community I like in SW is WestSpring. A lot of shopping in the area, St. Joan of Arc (K-9) in the area and the closest train station is 69th street... a good bus network from there to West Spring. Other communities close by are Cougar Ridge and Aspen Woods..I think there's an elementary school K-6 in Aspen Woods.

Thank you so much for this. I am seriously considering Calgary now, the schools I am interested in are on the southwest side. Can you tell me about good and walkable communities in this area. Thanks.

quote author=achievep post=92684984]I live in Calgary and I love it. The people in Edmonton May say the same thing. So, you will need to come up with a criteria to help you decide on the city that works for you. I believe the cost of living is similar in both cities.

As regards Calgary, there are Nigerians in almost every part of the city. I chose to live in North West because that is where I have friends that helped with setting down. Aside family, you need to consider school for your children if you are married with children. You should also consider the city you believe will give you the best chance of getting a job.

You can check https://africaextended.com/things-that-matter/how-to-select-the-right-canadian-province-and-city-to-land/ for things to consider in selecting the right city for you.

If you need more clarification, please let me know. Thanks and all the best[/quote]

Thank you so much for this information.

quote author=rosepetraaa post=92380650]


Communities like Arbour Lake in NW Calgary may fit in well for you... there's an elementary/junior high school (St. Ambrose Elementary/Junior High Schl) in the community, a train station (crowfoot), shopping centre,library... all at a walking distance. So, if you wish not to take your vehicle, you can walk to the train station or take a bus to the train station. Your children can also walk to school or ride their bicycles if you live in Arbour Lake. Other communities in close proximity are Scenic acres, Citadel, Ranchland[/quote]

I just want to check around and ensure I get the best deal[/quote]

Thank you so kuch for a detailed explanation. Based on your questions, we are a family of 4 with need for junior high and elementary schools. I want somewhere quiet but also where I don't want to rely on my car all the time, so somewhere within walking distance of shops and schools etc.

With regards to jobs, I have experience in HR/ Admin , Operations and Clients relationship management. So I definitely need a job. Based on the feelers I have put out, I can see that there are openings in both cities.

Thanks.

quote author=Fizzywah post=92317945]


Both are cities I am very familiar with however to answer your question more context will be needed.

Here's what I mean:

Are you single?
Are you asking for your family?
What's important to you in your choice for where to stay?

Calgary
Personally for me I have a family and love quiet neighborhoods so in Calgary I chose to stay in the NW Quadrant.
Neighborhoods like Sherwood, Evanston, Sagehill, Kincora, Nolan Hill, Carrington appeal to folks who want to stay away from the city center and lead quiet lives. The buildings are newer and more spacious. Of course, every neighborhood would have some sort of area that caters to your groceries and other amenities so you will find that you will be close to a lot of the things you need including schools, for your kids.

For others that may consider their budgets and some other factors they make their choice based on those. NE Calgary has a reputation for having affordable accommodation but also has a reputation for being known for petty crimes. Now I can tell you that may not always be the case as some of those crimes are opportunistic and can happen anywhere. Because of this even decent Neighborhoods in the NE get a bad rep.

SW is considered the most desirable and this is due to having some of its communities closer to downtown with more access to public transportation.

Overall, NW tends to have newer communities, however you will need to own a vehicle to enjoy getting around at your pace. It caters very well to single individuals as well as families. If you are still vibrant and looking for that life of always going in and out, then consider getting somewhere close to downtown Calgary like the Beltline or East Village areas.


Edmonton

First and foremost, Edmonton can be likened to Ikeja and then Calgary to Abuja. These are cities both in the province of Alberta but different in make up and looks. Calgary is a world-class city and I say so without joking. It has repeatedly made the list of the most livable cities to live in every year. Edmonton has an older feel to it. It is bright in the summer (2 months or 3 if we are lucky) and then the winters are colder than Calgary. Calgary enjoys Chinook winds that make the winter days(some of it) tolerable.
Edmonton is the seat of Government and a lot of its jobs come from the province. Calgary looks like a larger city and clearly benefited from being the Oil and Gas capital where a lot of multinationals are based.
Edmonton is starting to build newer communities in areas just like Calgary however you DEFINITELY need a car and will help yourself by learning to either park at a park and ride then take the Bus or Train. Coming from Calgary, I found this tiring having been used to driving everywhere and getting parking relatively easier than I did in Edmonton.

So my recommended neighborhoods in Edmonton based on my preferences would be:
1. Sherwood Park (some consider this on the outskirts but it's a 25 min ride to downtown)
2. Windermere (Lovely neighborhood, same time travelling to downtown Edmonton)
3. Oliver
4. University of Alberta areas ( If you are single and want to stay close to downtown)


Jobs
I find it odd that you are interested in where to live and not about Job prospects, looks like money is the least of your worries which is good

Calgary has jobs but they are competitive. Why? Calgary is very cosmopolitan and has people from all of the world as residents. You're dealing with really smart folks all applying for the same Job. As this is the case, businesses thrive here. There are lots of opportunities.

Edmonton while it may not be appealing to me, I have found to have even better paying jobs and I know as I have done business there in the past. However these days you can live in Calgary and do your remote job based in Edmonton and this is what most people are doing today.
One thing I can say by concluding is no matter where you settle, you'll find really good Nigerians to help you settle. Do not neglect help from good Nigerians looking to genuinely help you. The help and assistance we all received as newbies here, we are looking to pay forward. As such most newcomers find it strange coming in from Nigeria that there are folks willing to do so much for you. They Understand as they've been there before.


This weekend (tomorrow) I will be going on another road trip. It's the summer and this time I should enjoy the Alberta rockies. If it's your thing I'll post some pictures here. I'll also do a video of it and post on the YouTube Channel. Please feel free to ask more questions on here.
I really hope this has helped. Cheers.[/quote]
