Tbh, it's not high. Lemonade and Money Tangle are exchanging at 1 CAD to N460 currently. Doubt you will see at less than N450.

hello everyone I'm a little bit young and it took alot of courage for me to post here
I'm 15 years old, my family is in this process is thought of helping my mum out with some infos here she's a busy person and she's already on numerous whatsapp and telegram groups already, we got ITA via MPNP our AOR is January 2022
I heard PNP application processing time is already back in the 6 months range, I just want to confirm that for my mum
Also, I'm in ss3 I want to know if it's better for me to go back to high school when we get to winnipeg or I should go to college straight away. but I want to go back to high school because I literally don't understand the context of Nigerian physics and chemistry
ps: I've been on this thread since 2019 I logged in 2022
your responses are highly appreciated
cheers!!

Congratulations on getting your ITA no one knows the processing time of applications as everyones time is different.
Regarding your schooling it is done by age, i think a 15 years old would be in grade 10 if I'm not mistaken. Wish you and your family God speed in your application.

If you don't have family and friends here to pick you up then you can order 2 SUVs via Uber, that should be sufficient.

Ok thanks

You sound so cute grin. Congratulations and good job helping your mum.
It depends on what you want to study. If your desired course requires much of physics and chemistry then do a year of high school. If not I would recommend going straight to college.
Most colleges offer courses to help you with subjects you are deficient in.
I hope others will chip in.

Hey Kiddo, my advice for you is go back to high school .
1. You’re going to be way younger than any of your peers if you go straight to uni / college and i really feel the extra couple years between 15 & 18 make a significant difference in maturity
2. For STEM courses especially you might find the material in first year uni / college to be very difficult because the expectation is a lot of the content was already covered in your 4U (Grade 12 ) classes so professors won’t spend time re explaining certain things

High school is gonna be free so there’s no cost disadvantage

Also side note , in high school you might find it hard making friends / even run into the rare ignorant / racist kid , don’t let this get to you . You just keep doing you and you’ll make friends . keep an open mind but don’t get pressured into becoming a completely different person

Please try and work while in school (at least during the summer).
There is something called "Canadian work experience". Their ethics are a little different from what we have here in Nigeria.
Its better you learn it and make the mistakes (in student jobs) while in school than to make the mistake in your "serious" job after school.

The stakes are higher as you want to keep your job in order to apply for express entry.

Hello Sir/mas in the house, pls, I need your advice on this matter, my brother got PPR and he is traveling in August this year for the fall semester, his up front medical he did for his visa application last year will expire in June this year before he travels in August.

1. Does he have to do a new medical before he travels or he can just travel like that ?

2. Does immigration check for it at the POE in Canada ?

3. If he needs to do a new medical, what would he do next and who does he submit it to since he already has A STAMPED VISA?

THANKS

I got an opportunity to work in South Korea for at least the next 5 years, which means I'll be leaving Canada. I still don't know how the vacation will be structured and whether it will allow me spend enough time in Canada to renew my PR. For now, I have only stayed approx 2 years in Canada in the past 4 years, but should be leaving for South Korea in the next couple of months. How can one handle a situation like this so that they can still renew their PR? Maybe it's better to turn such an offer down? I heard if I get married to a Canadian I can live anywhere while my PR counts towards citizenship. Is this correct?

This is what https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1466&top=10 says:

Can my time abroad count toward my permanent resident status?
It depends on what you do and who you travel with. Your time outside of Canada may count toward your permanent resident status if you meet 1 of these conditions:

You work outside Canada
You need to work full-time for:

a Canadian business or organization, or
the Canadian federal, provincial or territorial government
You travel with a spouse or common-law partner
Your spouse or common-law partner needs to be:

a Canadian citizen, or
a permanent resident working outside Canada, full-time for:
a Canadian business, or
the Canadian federal, provincial or territorial government.


If you are getting married for a transactional sake don’t cry when the transaction goes bad!!!

If you've lived in Canada for 2 complete years then you'd be able to renew your PR status without hassle:

"To keep your permanent resident status, you must have been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five years. These 730 days don’t need to be continuous."

4. What is the best way to book flights? Through agent, website or app ?

Thanks

Hello,

1. If you are going as a PR/ Student you don’t need a return ticket, one way is fine

2. PTA can only be sold with a return ticket (except if you are student with scholarship, but this isn’t sold very often)

3. For flight, people say Ethiopian airline is moderately priced.

4. I’m team book straight on the airline’s website but you can also reach out to an agent and compare prices.
