Please can I send you a pmquote author=Oyeleye2011 post=75477033]I am one of silent readers on nairaland since this great platform helped me achieved my dream of coming to canada few years ago. I think it is high time for me to give back to this wonderful platform. I quite agree that few nigerians move to BC because everyone believe that BC is expensive to live in but you start your life in all these cities you mentioned which are affordable like the rest of the cities in canada. Another reason is that nigerians are few in BC so, some of us relate to white people a lot because you don't see many nigerians to relate with . So, people goes to Calgary, toronto,


Please






manitoba etc just to be in the midst of nigerians. And so other reasons personally known to nigerians.

So, to your question sir, I will analyse each cities one after the other because i have been to most of the cities either for work or vacation.

Kelowna
This is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada now. I lived in this city for 3 years because i did my schooling there and also worked there before moving to Kamloops for full time position. Though, i still go there on my days off because of my great network there. It is a relatively big city that has all the social amenities present in bigger cities. It is very affordable to live here if you have a good paying good. Few nigerian doctors are here with a big mansion living in . Is just that real estate is becoming pricey now because, it is like a retirement city (Lots of old people with big money), people from nearby bigger cities (vancouver, calgary, edmonton) comes there to purchase house after getting tired of bigger cities rat race . Kelowna has one of the best weather in canada. lots of sunshine. It is a tourism city as well, lots of beautiful place to see. Nice beaches, hiking trails, mountains surrounding. i can keep going all day long about kelowna because i love this city. Not too small, not too big. traffic is getting worst now because people are discovering this paradise everyday . Lots of construction companies in kelowna which gives you hope of getting a job in your profession sooner or later. I don't know anything about civil engineering job in kelowna or any cities in BC because am in Health care profession but i believe you will probably need so sort of licensing body but lots of construction companies because the city is still developing into a bigger city. And also less competition for jobs compared to bigger cities. Since your wife is a nurse, am very sure he can get health care assistant job with less struggle because BC government is having shortage of these people now then she can focus on getting her nursing licence sooner or later

Vernon
This city is relatively small compared to kelowna. It takes make less than 45minutes to drive between kelowna and vernon. Less opportunities here for you because there is less companies in vernon but bigger opportunities with less jobs competition for your wife because of her profession. I go there if i want to have a feel of country(town) life and want to get away from busy kelowna life. Please don't mind me, am not a city boy, am from a village in nigeria . But very affordable and cheap to live there. Weather is very nice as well because we are all in Okanagan area. Kelowna is central okanagan and vernon is north Okanagan. Lots of sunshine. Shorter winter and longer summer like kelowna.

Abbottsford & Nanaimo
These are lower mainland cities that surround almighty Vancouver city. They are bigger cities compared to kelowna but less bigger than Vancouver. People live in these cities and work in vancouver in order to avoid expensive renting or buying houses. Lots of opportunities in a bigger cities as we all know but highly job competition. Your wife might find it more stressful to get full time health care job in these cities because of competition but lots of casual jobs. In term of weather, lots of rain. Please always go out with your umbrella. The weather is nice, not too cold like Vancouver. Always mild winter and lots of rain. They are nice cities but too big for me Few nigerians are here because it is bigger cities

Prince Rupert & Prince George
These are Northern BC cities. The more North you go, the less white people you see and more immigrant you see. These cities can be extremely cold because they are in north BC. These cities are relatively big as well but not as bigger as Kelowna. There is a large nigerian community in Prince george, so will not be home sick. Most of them are in health care profession(Doctors, Physiotherapist, Nurse etc) and most of them are in university over there. More opportunities for your wife as health care professional because of less job competition and may be less opportunities for civil engineering jobs though these cities is also consider big for me. Am sure, there will be opportunities as well because they are not smaller cities. they are also good cities but i don't like cold.

Victoria
The capital city of BC. Victoria is one of the great city in BC. The first time i was there, i fell in love with the city life for the first time in my life. I wanted to stay but i was offered casual position and i want full time so i left . It is a bigger city but nicely planned city. Beautiful beaches (Ocean not Lake like kelowna). Little bit of rain as well. It is very expensive to live in victoria as well but if you have a good paying job, you will be fine. Victoria city is on Island so you need to take ferries or fly out anytime you want to leave island which can expensive compared to road driving. To take your car on ferry is also expensive but i usually go out of island early in the morning to take the first ferries which are normally cheap while i was there. Sure, many opportunities in capital city, lots of companies, government jobs etc. For madam, lots of opportunities as well but she will probably start from casual position then build her seniority hours to get full time position.

Terrace
Am sorry, i don't know anything about this city. I guess that city will be my new adventure in spring or summer time

I hope i am able to give you few info about all these cities. Generally, they are all great cities to live. And note, BC

WinningEleven:
My trip I promised my self to get out of this country never happened..
My girlfriend of 2 years left me this year. She saw a Berra boy and left the hustler(me) in the dust.
I still need to prove some motherfuckers wrong before I die
All legit hustlers, God go bless una. Make we day push am. E go better

Well the moment you wrote prove some motherfuckers wrong I knew were your problem is coming from ,the moment you do things for yourself and not for anybody things will become easier and lighter

They need to make this thing clear instead of telling the ibos and yoruba s the same thing about 2023 I am even surprised non of the leaders of those extractions has come out and demand for clarification.

May they find peace and comfort in the lord

Yewandequeen:
I don't totally agree with you. Yes we should depend on God, but sometimes you still need someone to talk to, when u say it to someone you feel better. It doesn't mean the person you have spoken with can help but then there earing-time means alot.

only a few really wanna listen to you most just want to hear your problems and feel better that atlist they are better than you..that your problems are more than theirs ..the next moment they start judging you . ...because so many person suffer from low self esteem and inferiority complex

Yewandequeen:
to some extent you are correct.

so sometime s it very complicating how long can you keep on helping someone only God can help you continuosly and unconditionally the moment you depend on man to give you peace then you are on the wrong part...well definitely people must handle issues differently .
