How about invest in real estate. Like preconstruction (off plan construction) you'll need to pay the initial deposit on the property to the developer. Like a condo worth $400,000 say deposit is 15% $60,000 which you have to pay. In about 18 months to 3 years (average construction life cycle) towards completion the value would have increased to around $500,000. You sell the condo via assignment this should be stated in the initial agreement with the developer that you can assign your unit to someone else.

You (assignor) sell your unit "piece of paper" to the new buyer (assignee). They pay the initial deposit back to you $60,000 and on final closing after they have secured a mortgage they pay the developer $340,000 and the balance of $100,000 to you.

So in a space of 2 to 3 years you have earned $100,000 from $60,000 making a total of $160,000.

The Holy of grail of real estate.


How can one start this in, say Toronto? Any links, any websites?

CIBN is the most useless banking certification anyone can think of achieving. It's useless in Naija so imagine how much more useless it is when you leave the shores of the country.

You don't need to go back to school for banking since you have the experience already, you'll just have to decide what area of banking you want to apply to when you arrive.
Do you want to deal with investments, mortgages, treasury etc. It will determine wether you should start studying for CSc or IFC (which most new comers use as an in for financial advisor, financial planner jobs), or if you should just face your CFA.

We expect to start the passport renewal session with urgent cases such as –

1. Students and workers whose study and work permits have expired.

2. Applicants currently out of status due to lack of a valid Nigerian passport.

To certify the validity of your claim, kindly provide the Mission with proof of the expiration by emailing your documents to-.

The Nigeria High Commission, Ottawa, is STILL CLOSED.

We will announce the resumption date shortly on the website and our social media platforms. We are here to serve you.

Yes,you are right.... I have decided ..Starting ECA already .....I asked again cos I read somewhere that one can take some Canadian courses here in Nigeria ..so I just wanted to know if it's a right step....
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by adesbaba: 8:53am On Jun 20, 2021
Thanks so much.... I understand that CIBN has a branch in Canada .so I was thinking I could take advantage of the networking from the association. And for the job roles are they particular to Toronto alone or also other cities like Edmonton,Calgary and co.


Thanks once again

Long wait for FSW draws.

I decided to earn certifications. Passed my PMP exam and about to write my Certified Business Analyst Exam (CBAP).

I’d like to know if these certifications are relevant in Canada & would help land a good job.

I’d appreciate recommendations too. Thank you

Good day all,

It feels good to be posting here, having just received a Study Visa. I am trying my best to read through the thread as there is so much information to garner. However, I would like to ask a few location specific questions since I would be going to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

1. What is the best location to stay with family?

2. Which region within Halifax has the best Elementary and Middle school, as that will likely determine where we'll stay.

3, Are there specific Elementary and Middle schools that can be recommended?

4. Is there a Whatsapp or Telegram f=group I can join?

Thank you all so much as I await your kind responses
