b]What is actually happening to the Western countries that brought Christianity to Africa Can church decline happen in Nigeria or any African Countries Any Thoughts my people.
[/b][
...Religiosity in Canada is at an all-time low, with recently released data from Statistics Canada showing only 68 per cent of Canadians 15 or older now report having a religious affiliation. It’s the first time that number has dipped below 70 per cent since StatCan began tracking the data in 1985....Christianity, however, is in sharp decline. In 2011, 67.3 per cent (about 22.1 million people) of Canadians said they were affiliated with a Christian religion. In 2019, that number had dropped to 63.2 per cent. Catholicism, Canada’s largest denomination, now accounts for 32 per cent of Canadians over 15, down from 46.9 per cent in 1996.
The decline is even more precarious for Canada’s United and Anglican churches....

'We lose a church per week'

Th UCC is the country’s second-largest Canadian Christian denomination. It accounted for 14.6 per cent of Canadian Christians in 1985. In 1996, that number declined to 9.7 per cent and to just 3.8 per cent in 2019. Islam, considered a minority religion, now sits at 3.7 per cent.

Nowadays, Meyers says, on average, the United Church loses one church per week across Canada and he expects that to accelerate.

He acknowledges that many people brought up religious lose interest, but says some come back of their own volition later in life. Meyers did so himself, turning to the church in his 30s after the breakdown of his marriage...

UBCcookies:
Hi anybody in Kelowna please?

Yes �. I can help with any info about Kelowna. Thanks.

Like people used to say BC is Bring Cash. But not everywhere in BC is expensive. The smaller cities are affordable compared to Vancouver, Lower Mainland cities and Island. The only challenge is the job opportunities in these smaller cities. Someone can rent 2 bedroom apartment for $1000 in Prince George which is northern part of BC but less job opportunities compared to Vancouver area.

Tina26:
Anyone here living in BC? Are the bills as expensive as people say

Sorry, I don’t know much about PCE. Am not a physiotherapist from Nigeria. Rehabilitation is a new career for me in Canada.

Humblega:
Hoooo I see. Do you know much about PCE?

Hahaha ��No, am not a PT, I am PTA/OTA.

Humblega:
Sorry, are u a carrier PT in Canada? U seems knw much

Yes, you can. I will be honoured to provide you with professional advice in Rehabilitation.

NeneSisi:
Thank you soo much. This is really insightful. I have noted these suggestions now and will do more research.

The RTA sounds more like what I've been doing recently here at our workplace. It's still a major interest of mine, but the first thing I guess is to have the PT license. So the PTA may be the way to go first. And to be honest, I really dread the PT exams. I dont know why. Maybe acknowledging it may help dispel it some.
May I PM you to discuss this further?

In addition, I will encourage you to take PTA/OTA program which is more Rehab career path rather than taking HCA program which is more Nursing career path. PTA/OTA will give you a depth knowledge about Rehab in Canada and also help you to pass your College of physiotherapy board exams in future because as you are working, you will be developing your skills. PTA/OTA do the same thing as PT/OT except for assessment and few therapy treatments such as manual therapy etc. The job is guaranteed for PTA/OTA and HCA in all levels of care such as LTC, Acute and Community care. RTA is also good but you might not get the skills you needed for your transition into Physiotherapist in future because it is activities based career such as games and so on. Lastly, PTA/OTA program is two years Diploma program in most colleges in Canada while HCA is 6-8 months Certificates program and RTA can be either certificate program or diploma program. I don’t know all the colleges in your province Alberta because am in BC. But I know one college in BC that does all the 3 disciplines PTA/OTA/RTA in one 2 years Diploma program. There are many colleges across Canada that offering HCA program but few colleges offer PTA/OTA and RTA program in Canada. I hope I am able to give you more insight into Rehabilitation career in Canada. Sorry, I wish I have more info about Alberta but I don’t because am in BC. I wish you good luck in choosing your career in Canada. Best of luck.

NeneSisi:
Thank you so much. I did see the Bow Valley College while looking.

I'll research more on the RA and PTA. Thank you.

May I ask if you're a PT yourself?

coolhayor:
Abeg make una help with this question o.

I believe WES will evaluate your OND/HND to 2 or more certificates. About having statements of result instead of certificate, I also believe that they accept statement of result but you may want to contact WES in order to confirm this. Your transcript that you will send through your school is more important. I had similar situation and I got evaluated by WES for 2 or more certificates. I hope this help. Goodluck.

Am sorry my brother. I don't know anything about Cyber Security career. Am not in IT profession in Canada.

olioxx:
@Oyeleye2011 pls I need info from you.
Currently working as a fullstack web developer in Naija.
I just want to grow my Cyber Security career.

Yes. I agree with you. Another name for BC is Bring Cash (BC). Car insurance monopoly, higher gas etc. We know that we are paying for good weather in BC compared to other provinces. We called it Sunshine tax but if you have a good job, BC is Paradise. Another things is that most nigerians start from these cold provinces and later move to BC once they have enough money to live here. I will advise people that want to move to BC to start from not too big cities then move to a bigger cities in future. In kelowna, i bought my first 2 bedroom 2 bathroom condo 2017 for $200k. Like i always tell me friends in bigger cities. there is always a rat race in bigger cities. If you are making big money in bigger cities, please stay but if not, please think again. It takes me 3 hours driving to vancouver if i want to see bigger cities.

snoop4dem:
well as much as I agree with everything you have written, people dont think BC is expensive. It actually is expensive to live in. I used to live in Victoria before moving to Vancouver and I can tell you that the cost and standard of living is very high compared to my friends in other cities. From housing to Insurance, to gas prices, etc... trust me it is on the high side compared to other places and the assumption is that the weather is fantastic and which is what has been driving the prices of things up in this places. e.g a person could be paing 400- 600 CAd for a room in any other province but might have to cough out at least 800 or more in BC for the same room and with stiff competition. People in Calgary can afford to buy houses for like 350-500k in the long term. In BC you wont get a house on the average for less than a million. I live here and I still live here and it is a super nice city if you have a stable job et all but the standard of living is high. But look on the bright side, it is very beautiful and you will know that you are in canada in BC

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, 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

---

Bring Cash, Everyone know that but all these cities are affordable. Trust me. Don't be afraid. God bless you sir.

Conservatives voted Saturday at the party’s convention in Halifax to end a birthright citizenship policy that gives citizenship to babies born in Canada even if their parents aren’t Canadian citizens.

British Columbia MP Alice Wong spoke in favour of the motion at the convention, saying that Canada should “fight for our own babies” to a crowd of 3,000 in Halifax. Wong asserted that “passport babies” take away resources from Canada’s system.

Others spoke against the motion, such as Alberta MP Deepak Obhrai, who said the issue is a “fundamental question of equality.”

“Any person who is born in Canada, by law, is entitled to be a Canadian,” Obhrai told delegates at the convention.

“We cannot choose who is going to be a Canadian and who is not going to be a Canadian.”

The vote was a close one, going to an electronic tally, but passed eventually with a near margin.

The non-binding resolution amends the party’s policy book to reflect the new stance

Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer released a statement Sunday showing support to the vote.

“Ending birth tourism will be among the objectives of our policy,” the statement read. “Conservatives recognize there are many Canadians who have been born in Canada by parents who have come here to stay and have contributed greatly to our country. I will not end the core policy that facilitates this. Unlike Justin Trudeau, I will safeguard it against abuse.”

I am living few hours away from Kamloop. Kamloops is a relatively small city with good weather. Kamloops is not a big city. Living cost is not that expensive at least compared to Kelowna. You can transit from Kamloops to Calgary probably through greyhound bus. If you are going to drive your own car, it is about 7hrs 30mins drive.

jabanobi:
Good evening all. Great thread here. I've already read and learnt so much.
My Passport is in Accra. They are busy taking their time.
I hope to land 2nd May, if them gree expedite.
My wife is in Calgary already on a PGWP that's supposed to expire on 5/5/18- (tied to the expiry date on her former passport; but she's only used one year of the 3 years it's supposed to be).
I hope her landing will not be complicated. I hope she wont be asked to travel and come back and land?
Also, should there be any issues if I cant make it before that date and her work permit and visa expires? Her passport is also in Accra.

Any Architects in the house? What's the professional transition experience been like? I've seen the credential registration process on CACB and it's not beans. What jobs can architects do while trying to get certified? I'm quite good with CAD.
I've looked at doing some quick- PM, HSE etc courses after landing and seen they don't have all this our Naija 2 weekends PMP, and certificate courses can take half of ones landing funds.
No mind my plenty question- Any info i can get will be useful. Builders and engineers- Pls also help. We are professional brothers.

Anyone with info on living in Kamloops BC? I intend to start a Pgd program at Thompson rivers Uni, next year. How easy is it to transit from Kamloops to Calgary. I may leave my family in Calgary during the pgd.

Thanks

Yes. Exactly. But that is why I said that what works for Mr A may not works for Mr B. You can follow your uncle advice to be on safer side.

pweetiesuzie:
Thanks for your response. You mean you used your diploma in Physical Therapist assistant offer to apply for TRV & it was granted even with your degree in biochemistry.

Firstly TRV is by grace. Something that work for Mr A may not work for Mr B. You can as well use your offer in physical therapist diploma in applying for TRV but also it is ok to use offer in master as your uncle suggest in order to be on safer side. Because when am applying for my TRV, I used my offer in Therapist Assistant Diploma and I already have a degree in Biochemistry in nigeria before I left nigeria.
And yes, you can change school and province when you get to Canada, just make sure you went through the school and province you used to apply for TRV then you can now change to anywhere you wanted to go.
I will suggest you use your child as home tie but I know it is very difficult because they child is still a baby. But yes you can include him in your application but you have to show good financial standing to CIC to take care of the baby when you are in canada even though the you know the baby will be staying with wife of your brother in law.

pweetiesuzie:
Good day house, Happy Sunday to you all! Pls i have some enquiries to make.

Fitstly, i currently hold an admission letter to study diploma in Physical Therapist at Norquest college, Edmonton, Alberta, but my uncle in Canada adviced that i should not use the offer letter to apply for TRV because the program is not related to my course of study (Bsc biochemistry) and aso because its a diploma course. So, i am applying for a TRV with admission letter to study Masters in Biochemistry at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Labrador. (Not paying tuition though)
After getting the TRV & moving to Canada, is it possible i change schools & province since i already have an offer to study diploma in Physical Therapist at Norquest college, Alberta?

Secondly, i am planning on taking with me my 10months old baby girl. How possible is that considering the fact that i will be staying with my brother-in-law and family & there is enough money in my husband's bank account to prove that He can afford to pay my tuition and living expenses for a year & also our baby's childcare & other expenses(even though our baby will be staying with my brother-in-law's kids & wife while i am in school)
Has anyone achieved this in the house & how will i go about it? Pls advice.

Thanks for your prompt & favorable response

There is no PGD program at Okanagan college. They only have diploma and degree programs. And also they don't have computer engineering but they offer computer science in diploma and degree.

abdulkabirtobi:
Thanks oga,I wanna apply with my HND to any of their PGD program related to my computer engr field.
Since I'm not transferring credits,I guess I'm not gonna pay for the transcript evaluation.

The transcript fee is not part of admission fee. Transcripts assessment fee is paid if you want to get transfer credits for some courses you have done before in nigeria. And yes it is $150. But it does not affect admission. It is choice.

abdulkabirtobi:
Saw this on okanagan college website "Transcript Assessment Fee
B.C. Transcripts: Applicants requesting transfer
credit for courses successfully completed at a
recognized BC university or college will not be
charged an assessment fee.
Out-of-Province Transcripts: Applicants
requesting transfer credit for courses
successfully completed at a recognized Canadian
post-secondary institution outside BC will be
charged a transcript assessment fee of $50 per
transcript.
International Transcripts: Applicants requesting
transfer credit for courses completed at a post-
secondary institute outside of Canada will be
charged a transcript assessment fee of $150 per
transcript. In the event that transcripts and other
documents are not in English, the student will be
responsible for submission of an official English
translation of all required documents.
Does this means transcript assessment for admisson is charged?
Help a brother

I believe you are talking about Okanagan college, Kelowna in British Columbia. If that is the college you are talking about. I am presently studying in the school. And what you need for admission into diploma program is just your O'Level result plus scratch card to verify the result, then you can add your transcript to give you an opportunity to transfer some courses but transcript is not compulsory for admission. Yes you have to pay non refundable admission fee to the school. Every student pay the fee. Also make sure you verified about the space in the program you are about to apply to because it may be full or has a limited space. That is the only reason you can be denied the admission and they will normally book you for the next admission. I wish you best of luck.

Stanleyelege:
hello guys.

I must thank everyone here. Infact reading people's responses and questions has really helped me though am a bit confused as am about starting. pls read

I currently hold a b.sc in marketing but wish to apply for a diploma course in Okanagan british college, Columbia.

I discovered there is an unrefundable application fee of 100cad. Does it mean that if the admission isn't granted the sch wont refund an applicant.

what do you think should be forwarded alongside the application form as I can only think of original waec result with scratch card.
does it require any reference letter from a former lecturer, place of work, employment letter, payment slip, bank statement, bank's letter of introduction etc.
pls guide me cus I wouldn't want to be denied admission .

BR.

Firstly congratulations on your TRV. Your balance tuition balance will not affect you at the POE. Make sure you have your receipt for the previous tuition payment in your hand bag and the new letter sent to you. I came here with just $500 tuition deposit paid so it is good thing that you have paid part of your tuition fee. Welcome to best province in canada. Make sure you come with winter clothes because is going to be cold. Welcome to British Columbia.

lamama1:

Graviton2:
10 years US visa?!

This is the first time I'm hearing of it.

Yes my brother. It is all true. I don't believe it too when my Jamaica friend in my school show me his passport and also my Indian friend too also in my college. These guys are not even permanent residence. TheY carry student visa like me too. But surprisingly they also have 10 years us visa. Meanwhile they only apply here in canada. Now, I think this cannot happen to any nigerian except you are citizen or PR holder. Imagine, they see nigerian people as a poor people despirate to move out of the poverty country. I don't blame them. But I blame our government for this shame they are making nigerian to face in abroad. For me to be acepted into my community as a nigerian, I gave to correct their past impression about nigerian but they have had enough of us. Yes that is the reason why V.O are so strict on our application because they don't know who is truly coming to Canada or usa to study or not. Because they know that the country is bad and all youth want to leave the country. I pray that this new administration will do something about nigeria. Am always happy and bold to tell another in canada that I am from nigeria. God bless Nigeria.

Yes I agree with you expecially those kids from Asian country like China, Japan, Korea and so on. We call them walking money. They just wired their money straight from their country. No part time job like we nigerian. Just eat and study. Although most of them are studying ESL in my college. And they are many. You will notice this during each year orientation programme.


quote author=Solo8 post=33923974]

The Pan American games, women's World Cup and an election in a cpl of months. So they are probably getting a lot of visit request especially from South America, that should not have nothing to do with student visa though. One thing I've noticed is a bit of an influx of rich international students from China and Saudi Arabia. Also, maybe since most naija students don't go back, they are tougher on naija students, I know a naija guy that got denied PR earlier this year.

Maybe looking for schools that are not close to major city might help. Did most of the people delayed apply to Toronto area schools?[/quote]

Zattiezat:
Please is there a difference between the affidavit from a high court and the "notary" one?

The affidavit of support must carry the notary seal. This is very important. which I think the one from high court will not have. but so far that it carry the seal of notary public. that is perfect. Note: the notary seal are not common. I think few lawyer have it.

SeyiMiilan:
Is work essential component of your studies? Yes or No? I chose no, pls am I good to go?

Yes, if your program did not require Co Op.

akanni:
So, how would you interprete the link i sent on renewing your TRV?
On the link you sent, why would i extend my study permit that is still valid?
Let's just stop further exchanges on this topic ok?
thanks and enjoy the rest of your day.

My two ogas, I hail you sir. there is a joke I use to make with my friend here in Canada. there is what we called Permanent Temporary Residence Visa. That is the beauty of study in Canada. as long as you are still a student, you can keep on renewing your study permit which gives you the opportunity to extend your TRV in Canada. but you must do that before your study permit expired. Once your school still recognized you as a student, they will just issue you letter to submit at cic inorder to renew your study permit. I met a Nigeria guy here in my college, he is in my college for the past 10 years still a student studying 2 years diploma course and he did not have any problem. once his study permit expire, he go to the college for letter that recognize him as student in the college, he submit it on cic, they renew his study permit, with give him the opportunity to extend his TRV. That is the reason why I use to joke with that guy that he is permanent Temporary Residence. LOL.

olaniyisal:
Thank you bro... This information is very good and impressive. I appreciate.

Pls, kindly list all the documents needed if I am to use an individual sponsor.

I am going for graduate program at Concordia university.

Thanks

when you are using individual sponsor, the sponsor should show how he/she is getting his/her money. that is source of income with a valid documents. if the sponsor is working anywhere, he/she should be ready to give you his/her payslips, statement of account, work ID card, evidence of paying tax, sponsor letter, affidavit of support from[b] notary public[/b]. that is all. simple. but if the sponsor own a business or company, it is wise to use his/her personal statement of account and not company statement of account. he/she just need to give you CAC certificate of the business or company, Tax clearance of the company, sponsor letter from the owner of the business, affidavit of support from the business owner by notary public. that is all. simple right. I hope this information will help somebody. God bless you all.

realone01:
tax clearance, form co2 & co7, reference letter from the company' bank n letter from the company. Note: if you going for am undergraduate program, its not advisable to use a company' soa. But u can use it if a close family of yours (e.g parents) own the company.

Using company as a sponsor always complicate the application than using individual sponsor. V.O are trained very well to the extent that they can read your mind without seen you. Because they will be asking themselves why the nigerian company want to spend huge amount of dollars on only you. Also when using company as sponsor, you will need more documents like co2, co7, and other company certificates which you don't need to add when you use individual sponsor. From what I have seen, people that use company as sponsor get more delay than people that use individual sponsor. Furthermore, using company as sponsor require intelligent packaging so as to block all the loophole. Some will use company that did not linked to your course of study and so on like that. In conclusion, I will advice my people to try and use individual sponsor as it has more chances than company sponsor especially Nigerian company. Please I stand to be corrected. For many people that I have not reply your pm. By God grace, I will be through with my exam by weekend, so I will have time for everybody. Yah, It is summer break.

diamondsare4eva:
@Oyeleye2011, please which school accepts Nabtec. Which school are you

Okanagan College.

diamondsare4eva:
I think she's asking if nabtec is acceptable. What if the person's o level is not good. Can Nabtec be used?

Yes some college in canada accept nabtec. I have used nabtec to get admission for some people in canada especially my college. You just need to send them scratch card detail to verify the result online. That is all. And if the school you are applying to did not accept it, they will tell you. That is why it is important to send email to international education of your school first before applying. I hope it help.
