Okay, considering price, Egypt Air is the cheapest. You can pay in Naira, use the contact info on their website to reach out to them, you can as well book and pay with naira via wakanow..

It's cheaper, I eat all the food they serve, mostly jollof/ fried rice, chicken, bread/egg etc... unlike most European airlines that serve foods & mixtures that I can't eat, their service is great as well, speaking from my own personal experience sha

Thanks so much for the information

For someone who sometimes appears to be logical and balanced in their writing, something is really amiss somewhere. I can't understand how asking for help gave rise to the insinuation (disguised as a question) that they borrowed their POF. There could be many explanations for this, but you chose the most cynical of them all.

Do you derive joy from making these cynical remarks against other people? Is this how you relate with others in your circle? Or you're just nasty behind a keyboard?

Whatever it is, you're exhibiting early stage signs of a sociopath, please look into some counselling.

What happened to presenting that as your initial problem and having people here or anywhere else point out how you could successfully navigate that problem? There are multiple requests here for help with finding a room and it's a problem that can be easily solved, if you present it as such. Why do you think bunking with a stranger is the best solution to your "problem"?

You have the choice of AirBnB for a few days. You have so many rooms from Indian landlords scattered around Scarborough especially on Kijiji. You have hundreds of options if you are interested in looking. Except of course you are not telling the full story.

It is not that easy to get a place from outside Canada. You can book an Airbnb, as oluayebenz stated and start your aggressive search, and Kijiji and Facebook marketplace is your plug.

Just look for one affordable Airbnb within your budget, at least to have a roof over your head, then search from there. It gives you opportunity to inspect what you would renting.

Rents are paid first of every month and most rents kickstart first of the month. Plan your schedule to checkout of your Airbnb at the end of a month.

All the best with your search.

It's very easy with Airbnb etc but it appears this person is extending Naija begging to Canada hence why the other guy was asking of the POF. Last time, my guy got PR visa approval while I was thinking he would ask for help as my room was unoccupied as I was in Nigeria, he got himself Airbnb and has been there till September 1. He has his room paid six months in a basement in North York.

You're just an idiot. You're using generalizations about others as the basis of your insinuation in a specific scenario for which you have no context at all. Isn't that the height of infantile reasoning?

So because there is a general problem of people borrowing POF, you believe that a question insinuating that this person borrowed POF (without any context about their specific situation) is a logical question? You're questioning whether someone committed immigration fraud based on their simple request for assistance? Something is surely wrong with you and it is my duty to point it out that your reasoning is subhuman.

Now that the person has explained why they're seeking for assistance, what other silly insinuation are you going to come up with?
Guy, why this? Take that person in already.
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by megastu(m): 6:11pm On Aug 22, 2022
i am actually dumbfounded on how people will come online to look for free accommodation. Yes, the Visa Officers who ask to show POF know that you will eventually be sorted but want you to have some money(minimal) with which you will use to settle in.

We should do better, in my opinion.

I understand. I was writing about getting a place. Sure, you can book Airbnb from anywhere. Not many people coming to Canada know so much about how it works here, and it is just humane to communicate nicely with people. I don’t think asking the POF question was necessary to me, but hopefully, the moniker can sort out the accommodation issue

Relocating abroad is an investment. Truly everyone provided evidence of pof which in most cases is packaged. Lets try to also find real money to settle in. GTA in Ontario is one of the hardest places to get accommodation as a new comer because house prices are expensive, landlords dont want story as mortgage has to be paid and you can’t evict someone easily . takes 2 to 3 months to even get a date with the court people.

A friend who came 2 months ago with a job offer of 76k from an audit firm. Still found it hard to get accommodation and had to extend airbnb. Me self spent 6 weeks in airbnb costing me over 2k cad. Wetin man for do. People you know may not house you or give excuses. Because there is usually no free room in their house like in Nigeria, or landlord rules saying no one can stay over past maybe a day or two, or its a shared apartment where other tenants will complain. If you don’t have anyone there abeg go and borrow money for airbnb.

Nobody will send money to your bank account in Nigeria.

You will need to resume, open an account, fill in the paper work and they will take care of the rest.

Is that the best you can come up with? We know your type, when you can't face the issues you descend to your vile obsession with fecal matter, orifices and other unprintable things. Good luck with that. You sha need help.
