🤐🤐

Gbese. This one hard o. The lady wicked sha. Unfortunately if it’s the child care pilot program, the lady doesn’t even have to work for the employer who gave them a letter of employment.

I am thinking about pivoting from accounting to nursing. If you are a practicing nurse here in Canada, can you share your experience with the profession? Thanks

I use the regular liquid milk. I have no problem with it and if you have children it's better to get them adapted to it at home. For yourself as an agbalagba that might not be able to adapt to the change, buy evaporated milk. That's basically our liquid peak milk. It goes for around $1 and sometimes on sale for as low as $0.80. I've never seen it go bad even when opened and left in the fridge for over a week.

I really like the regular milk because you can make tea, oatmeal etc without adding water. Or pour in cereal and fire down. It's very creamy compared to powdered milk. Though I heard one time that the hormones fed the cows can cause children drinking the milk to blow up.

Canada has stricter rules than the US when it comes to meat production. Canadian farmers are not allowed to use growth hormones on their animals. The USA doesn’t have such law so farmers can but corners.

Pls can u post a link to this information. Gracias

No link but I can corroborate this information. My husband is an ACCA member and he received an email this morning that ACCA will no longer have MRA with CPA starting May 1st.

PSA for people who are hoping to transfer their ACCA qualification to CPA. Unfortunately CPA is not renewing the MRA with ACCA.

If you are planning to apply through this route, please do so before April 30th.

This information is not on CPA website yet. My husband received an email from ACCA this morning informing him that they will no longer have an agreement with CPA after the current one elapses.

bily:
They will tell you it's not like the naija milo

Personally I prefer the one they sell at superstore to the one from Naija. It reminds me of the quality milo we had when we were younger. Naija own just taste like sand, nothing rich or creamy about it.

crazyinlove:
I'm the one employing

Send it to the person you are employing. They will include it in their application when submitting.

ucystan:
Please what does the employer need to have in other to show that she is an eligible employer?

They have to show that they can pay your wages Ava still be able to cover their expenses. Read Ygritte thread from page 1.

Flakeyy:
Thank you ednut. I'll send them a message right away.
13,000... Wow... The Lord is my strength.

If you chose to go with CPA, the first thing to do is to evaluate your BSc and see if you need to take prerequisite courses. If you need to take prerequisite courses, you can look for a diploma that covers all you need and will give you a certificate also. If you go the school route you will have access to loan and grant to cover your prep courses. Once you start working your employer can pay for the PEP part of CPA.

Hey guys, can a newly landed PR use his pof to get a nice ride and start uber?

Yes you can. If you buy through financing though your interest rate will be high because you do not have credit yet.

WoundedLamb:
Don't dismiss their submission. For some people, especially relatively new immigrants, going to work was their only way of meeting and associating with people. With the lockdown, they've got nowhere to go. That's probably the case of the person you quoted. They know the lockdown doesn't prevent anyone from stepping out, that's why they're asking if anyone wants to hang out.

Lockdown would mean not interacting with people outside your house, no? He can still leave his house to take a walk. Meeting up with some random people would defeat the purpose of the lockdown.

Teau:
Hi all,
I applied for study permit and i have received a mail requesting for mypassport but in theletter it states that my passport expiry date must cover my study period because permit expiry datewould be the same as my passport expiry date.
My questions;
1. Is this possible? shouldnt it be the expiry date on the program not my passport?
2. if so i need to plan to process my Nigerian passport renewal. I am looking to renew in the USA.

Nigeria has 3 embassies in the US; New York,DC and Atlanta. I want to know which one is currently processing the renewal faster (within 1 week please). PLEASE YOUR RESPONSE IS MUCH APPRECIATED, would it be too much to also ask for someone's contact at the embassy who could be of assistance.

Thank you

You should post this on the student thread.

gustav25:
thanks ... What if when I'm done , I proceed immediately for masters ? Or do you know any school that accepts a 2.2 for masters in the social sciences?

What course are you looking to take in Canada? You may not need masters. Have you explored diploma courses?

Adunnee:
Hello seniors,
Do you think any discrimination exists against qualifications acquired outside the province, but within Canada?

Secondly, has anyone here taken a course/program with Robertson College, Manitoba or Centre for Distance Learning, Nova Scotia? Please I need reviews.

Thank you.

Personally I do not advice new immigrants to go to private colleges- which is what Robertson is - because there is a high chance of being stuck with a useless certificate. Employers prefer their community colleges because they know courses are standard and accredited. Please look for a community college in your area. In addition, community colleges are cheaper than private colleges.

yankiwaka:
I am a PR

Are you aware of this clause? They may not allow short landing because of covid. Please clarify with cic before coming.

slushy:
Please are you coming in on a visitors visa? Is the border open to that now? I ask cos someone I know has a visitors visa and isn’t sure if they can travel. Thank you.

There are rules on CIC website about who can travel. Please go through this link. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/travel-restrictions-exemptions.html#citizen-pr

seunpinky:
Thanks bro and congratulations..
Wify works as an auditor in one of the big 4 and I work as a financial analyst. We are looking at exam options that we can scale tru easily to enable us settle in fast..

I will advise you to take a look in indeed. Search for the jobs you are looking to get and then look at the requirements. Doing this will give you an idea of what you will need. For the roles you mentioned, it’s usually CPA that a lot of employees ask for. Wish you all the best.

drail400:
The pandemic really messed with people's plans. I had hoped to move beginning of Summer...

I will be traveling 9th of September to Toronto, final destination is Waterloo.

About the isolation plan, will I be allowed to stay with a friend, and if yes, what are the conditions?

Your answers will be highly appreciated

Yes you can stay with a friend as long as you will not have contact in the house. If there is no way to prevent contact then the friend will also have to isolate with you. One of the cases we had in Winnipeg is from someone who came in and isolated with family. Unfortunately they did not maintain distance and they all got covid and also transmitted to the community.

koonleh:
thank you,
i am coming with a student visa, no husband,no relations

pls can i get an idea of price of one bedroom with other bills. am trying to see the financial implications to journey so i plan ahead. thank you

Is there an option to keep the kids in Nigeria while you settle? I salute your courage but what you are planning to do will be very tough.

snowlordng:
Exactly....another thing is that Nigerians in Canada are not helpful atall...do you know that Philippines have an organization that bring their country people to Canada as caregivers.....Indians have conquered truck driving company in Canada simply by helping others to migrate and start same job...am sorry to say this Nigerians are too selfish for their own good ..I chatted lots of Nigerians in Canada because of this immigration pathway some ended up snubbing me ..some blocked me ....if I enter Canada tomorrow I will seize to be called a Nigerian

Unfortunately I know people who have had bad experience bringing people over. I’ve seen relationships break down because people refuse to pay back the money that their sponsors (Siblings) borrowed to support their immigration. At the same time I met a Filipino woman who told me how they do it. She came through her community here in Canada. They sponsored her and she is required to pay back in a number of years. This woman made it a priority to pay back her debt, never complained and never missed a payment.
My point is people want to help but scared to get burnt.

Cousin9999:
I don't want to scare anyone away from an opportunity, but it's not as if it's uncommon for home care workers to be abused. These men see someone desperate to stay in America, and they hold the power to quickly send the woman back. I think seasonal work in hotels/resorts might be a better alternative. At least there, people can protect you.

This program is different. They don’t have to continue to work for their employer if it’s not a good fit. They can work for another employer as long as it’s the same NOC. However after they get PR after 2 years they have the full benefits of PR and can change profession if they want.

Dennyjuff:
How do you mean “eating your cake and having it” that didn’t come off nice.
I read somewhere on the CIC website that PR card is renewable as long as the individual is inside Canada and one can apply for renewal 6 months before . Just wanted to get a confirmation. Thanks for the other answers.

You need to have lived in Canada for a particular number of days in the 5 years to be able to renew the PR card. Take a look at the screen shot from cic.

uche06:
Please if u have a wife in Manitoba,can you easily get in ,how long would it take,esp if your wife is PR resident,or must she be a citizen

Yes your wife can apply for you as a PR.

einsteino:
Thanks for the reply. @bolded you mean there is that much insecurity in downtown Winniepeg? How much does a 3 bedroom cost there? With a car, I don't think cold is that much of a big deal. So the only issue I see is the insecurity.

I’m sorry if I scared you but downtown is generally not safe at night and it’s getting worse now because of the meth problem. That being said it is safe during the day. I work downtown and go there daily. I’ve left the office at 8 pm before during month end and I got home okay. The bad apples usually come out close to midnight when there are less people downtown.
A 3 bedroom could be anywhere from $1200 - $3500 depending on the area it’s located, if it’s a house, townhouse or apartment. Yes with a car, the cold is not so bad.

einsteino:
Cool. I am curious, please how is it like in Winnipeg? I intend moving West someday, so I am checking out my options.

Winnipeg is beautiful except for the cold. As long as you steer clear of downtown at night time you should be fine. Affordable housing, cheap bills and car insurance. I live in a 3 bedroom 1100 sq house and pay $130 for gas and electric, ~$200 for water every 3 months. We don’t have the best bus service but it’s okay.

MummyO24:
I and my family just landed in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I will appreciate a WhatsApp link to any "Nigerians in Winnipeg/Manitoba" group to get province specific information.

Thank you.

I’m not aware of any app but you can contact me for any questions you have. I’m in Winnipeg as well.

ednut1:
but this is this not fraud

It’s not actually, they will be issued an open permit and can work for any employer as long as it is in the same field. They are not limited to the employer that brought them over.

legionISproteus:
NaijaCanadian28

That's a terrible experience for your friend. The system has setup the family for imminent collapse and if they're not careful it will end in tears.

Just like Boss13 said, there is no winner in any abusive relationship except the government and police who would collect promotion on top Una head. All those women planning to show their husbands hell when they travel abroad because they are no longer in Nigeria should be careful. I hope they see this.

Please stop blaming the system. No system made them fail, their nasty behaviour did. I’ve spent more than 5 years in Canada and know people who have spend longer time here and are still married. All they want is to treat others the way you will treat yourself. This goes for both gender.

djo120920:
What is the proof of funds for this pathway?
I know it says Proof of funds is not required, but what if I have 5 dependents to accompany me, a spouse and 4 children, and I am on a salary of 14 cad per hour, will immigration allow me in with no proof of funds to take care of all the dependents accompanying me?

I don’t think you are expected to bring your family along. I see a lot of Filipino come in with this visa but they don’t bring their family till they have applied for PR. If you want to bring your family, look into express entry or provincial nominee program.
