Good day Family, please can i get infomation/ideas for the cost of daycare centres precisely in London,Ontario,does the Canadian Government help in subsiding the cost for international students.

Please kindly help a first time mum, is all about me planning well to succeed


God bless you all, thanks for your responses Family.
In London, Ontario daycare is free, when my wife arrived Canada with our 4month old she was given free child care Monday to Friday at any day care of her choice even tho she didn’t have a Job at the time.

Child care case workers in London respond fast. The process took a week….the most important thing is securing a day care facility where your child will be enrolled in.

Contact: childcare@london.ca
For further assistance goto LUSO community service they’ll assist you.

Hello house, good day.

Please, what's the best way/route to get to London, Ontario..? My flight is from Lagos-Toronto but my final destination is London.

Also, anyone that has potential/available accommodation in London.?

Thanks


Book a flight from Lagos to Toronto and pre-book a taxi pick up https://robertq.com/ or https://driverseatinc.com/. They’re less than $125.

If you’re a Fanshawe student, Fanshawe will only cover the cost for the student’s shuttle service from Toronto’s Pearson Airport or London’s International Airport to a London or regional campus address (St. Thomas, Woodstock, Simcoe). Assistance is provided with accessing booking services for family members (which Fanshawe doesn’t cover)

Singapore a simple, peaceful, lovely and friendly country the number one most powerful passport in the world was visa-free to Nigerians, till Nigerians took it for granted due to drug trafficking and crime, there was no week without a Nigerian caught doing a criminal act. In 2014/2015 the privilege was taken away, visa-free was cancelled, and my PR application was denied. Communities with a lot of Nigerians were required to vacate. Malaysia the closest country became the hotspot. I almost lost my job, my work visa was limited to 12 months to be renewed yearly. My ex-boss was a big help to me, if not I would have been kicked out for just being a Nigerian. Till I left that country every time I receive my salary I get a call from my bank to verify the payment that was made. Almost got my account locked & closed because I wired money to Nigeria. So so many ill-treatment for just being a Nigerian. So if you’re comparing race and denying a country then you’re mistaken. These are just a few things I experienced due to the reputation and the stigma attached to the name Nigeria. So when you ask me “Where are you from” don’t expect Nigeria from me.
Like I said if you haven’t LIVED outside North America or UK you can't understand how the name Nigeria is costing people. Canada did a great job curbing and limiting the influx of migrants that’s why there’s limited discrimination and you can easily see Nigerians working in Banks or financial institutions in Canada.
The talk about our future generation, I choose not to discuss that, my honest truth: the future generation of Nigeria is Fked.

Only people who have experienced it will understand. It is sad that in South East Asia, it got to the level where if you identify as Nigerian, the next question was if you are from the North or South of Nigeria? So Sad!

I've always identify as a Nigerian, and I don't judge those who refuse to identify as Nigerians. The treatment is always different if you are staying in South East Asia. I remember when I first entered Malaysia for my PhD, a friend told me that when random ppl ask him of his Nationality he claim to hail from Somalia or Sudan, and he really looked like a Sudanese �.

The experience of awful treatment of Nigerians in South East Asia has brought out the racism in me towards Asians. I can't stand those people at all.

Although, am fed up with how things are going in my motherland and how the world see us, am still very proud of Nigeria and I will continue to be a good ambassador of my Nation.

Good day guys. Just landed in North York as a PR. I'm currently in Airbnb till the end of the month but I was hoping to to get some tips on how to get survival jobs and accommodation. Any tips would be appreciated. Please I already know about kijiji and rentals.ca. I mean like "don't live in Ajegunle or Iloabuchi down" or "you should be looking for an apartment that has heater etc etc" and "run from ogoaja work". Any advice will be appreciated. Strictly survival jobs cos I'm already fed up of my old job type and I hope to transition into tech by January. Thanks in advance.

I use rynga. Register on their website and buy credit, download the app. Then call naija numbers using the app. I've been using Rynga for more than 10 years, there might be other newer and cheaper apps by now I've not checked because I'm happy with Rynga

About me:

Your job should be able to let you afford rent. Start with a smaller accommodation bro

I respect your opinion but honestly, it’s not a big deal and I understand why the dude denied being Nigerian. I respect and support his decision and I won’t judge him based on that. Idk if you’ve “LIVED” outside Canada & Nigeria and I don’t mean "visit" other countries but “lived”…. If you have then this shouldn’t be a surprise to you. I have lived in southeast Asia since 2016 and had my Master's and Ph.D. there and I can tell you I always claimed to be from Cape Town…when they ask where is that located I’ll say South Africa. I don’t associate with Nigerians there only coworkers, or church members, and neither do I live in a neighbourhood where there are lotta Nigerians. I was the only black dude in a Chinese-dominated estate that’s how strict I lived my life, never to be judged based on my country and I live with that rule to date. That’s why I love visiting Japan and South Korea they don’t ask the sentence “where you from”. I deny being Nigerian when I have to, it’s the stigma attached to the name Nigeria!. That’s why I hate the sentence “where are you from” it’s a trigger to some of the things I lost just by claiming to be Nigerian. So don’t judge anyone because he denied being Nigerian they have their reasons.

I feel you bro. My children will never be Nigerians

Anyone here going through the foreign trained accountant route to CPA? I’ve read the website back to back and know the requirements and all that but would love to relate with someone already going through the program or intends to. I have a B.Sc in Accounting and ICAN but I’d not yet completed ACCA when the MOU expired. The thought of going through exams again and the cost is just making me weak but sadly, it is what it is.

Back to my initial question, anyone here? Let’s reason together Biko. I’m in Ontario

the thing weak my soul. I settled for CIA usa, heard some people are doing CPA new york. There are not enough new cpas in the country since they blocked the ACCA route. Keep applying for jobs regardless of the CPA. You only need one offer.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to book a flight to Toronto. On wakanow I saw good prices on Egypt air, however, wakañow says I can't book a one way ticket on Egypt air. . The reason given is that the airline requires a return ticket.

Has anyone experienced this? I know Egypt air appears to be one of the favourable airlines for our people here.

Please any advise/ input will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
