Are you in canada and where are you and what’s your status? Stop advising people here if you don’t live in canada. I live here in Toronto with a full time job. This place is not for the poor. I insist, if you fail to plan before coming here you will suffer. The students here are going through a lot and also people with PR. Anyone coming here should come in with a lot of money. Jobs are not easy to get here as well. The bills are also much here. Recent data released in Vancouver this week shows residence in Vancouver spend half of their annual earnings on rent and utilities . Plan before Comin here please. It’s tough here and this is no joke. Those who are already established in nigeria , canada is not for them. The stupidly rich people are the only ones that enjoy living here.
Dey play….you comot naija go dey live for Toronto… na Ikoyi or Banana Island you Dey live when you Dey naija??

The person you quoted is also in Canada, so her opinion is very valid. I think the reason why IRCC asks applicants to show POF is for issues like this, so it is incumbent for anyone applying to have the funds to take care of themselves when they get there.

However, no matter how bad Canada is, it is better than 9ja. I know about 13 families that have left for Canada from former colleagues and clients, no one, not one of them has regretted migrating to Canada.
No one expects Canada to be a bed of Roses but it is way better than the struggle most people face in 9ja. I fully align with Madam Chi's post. Please if you have the means go to Canada!!!!!!!

Hello everyone. I just created this account. I was here before as Chinnychappy but couldn't remember the password so I just followed the thread as a guest. I just had to create this to encourage the likes of christyjiji that your ppr would come shortly. I got mine on 21st June and till now I haven't been able to express the feeling. I had deferred last year fall start to this year coz of funds plus I just had my baby in march and admission came out in April 2022. I was only able to submit my visa application in mid may and got ppr 21st June
Thank you @Osemigho, @just mellow and all others who responded to my questions last year before I deferred.
To everyone, you can do it yourself. I got a supervisor, admission and now ppr myself though lots of work was involved. Juggling full time work, caring for kids/family.
Submitted 15the May
Biometrics done on the 19th and updated on the 22nd
Medicals passed on the 23re
Eligibility 17th June but I feel it was going on all along coz I got a request letter for my updated LOA on the 19th June.
Correspondence/ppr on 21st.
All the best people
Please don't forget to commit all your actions to God in prayers.
Congratulations
Praying for mine to click too.

I wouldn't have put my mouth in this if not for the purpose of people who may be willing to immigrate, study or work in Canada but haven't found a way.

@Nbv1
While I understand your perspective, kindly allow me to show you how you could have conveyed your message more constructively.

I think the first three lines of your post sounds uncomfortable.

Also, you are correct in saying people should travel to Canada with a lot of money.

@Chiziteremary
I understand your perspective too. You may want to omit "...don't listen to any negative..." Although it does not sound discomforting. It is a word of encouragement.

I do not judge anyone. Both of you are correct in your opinion.

My perspective
.
While it may be expensive to live in some part of Canada, I think it is not wrong to say Canada is worth trying to immigrate to, work in or study in.

Toronto is just a small part of Ontario. Bills may be expensive in Toronto but not the same in St Thomas, Woodstock, Sarnia, London etc. These places are in Ontario. Even some people are running away from Ontario because they say it is cheaper to live in other provinces and still get the same thing or more than you can get in Ontario.

Let us talk about Nova Scotia, Halifax per sé, the same 2 bed apartment you pay $2500 - $3000 for in Toronto costs just $1000 - $2000 in Halifax. Even, it's $1000 - $1300 in some small cities in Ontario. Meanwhile Halifax has a population of close to 920,000. This is a big city.

Not everyone wants to live in Toronto. It is known that Toronto and Vancouver are expensive and can be compared to New York.

You can get in Calgary what you can get in Toronto. Calgary has a population of close to 2m. Life is not as hard in Calgary.

Meanwhile, you don't need to live in a 2 bed if you just need to live in a 1 bed, you can even rent a 1 room and jettison 1 bed. It all depends on your lifestyle.

Let us do some analysis here.

Wage:
Minimum wage in Ontario is $16/hour.
Minimum wage in Alberta is $15/hour.

Rent:
Rent in Ontario (Toronto) for example 2 bed $2500 (the price may be higher).
1 room in a shared apartment is $1200+

Rent in Alberta (Calgary) for example 2 bed $1700 (the price may be lower or higher).
1 room in a shared apartment is $700+

Population:
Toronto: 6.3m.
Calgary: 2m.

Let us choose, where would you like to live with just those simple data?

Many people are home owners in Regina, Calgary, St John's, Oromocto, London etc yet the same wealth would not buy a home in GTA. You choose the kind of life you want to live.

Also, I would accept a job that pays $30/hr in St Thomas, Ontario instead of a job that pays 35/hr in Toronto, Ontario.

One fact to note, Toronto, Vancouver and other big cities are not for people earning minimum wage. People should get that fact. If you are earning $30/hr, why would you find it difficult to live in Toronto? What kind of life are you living? You will enjoy Toronto without being stupidly rich if you can take care of your rent.

The truth is one can earn more and live a more comfortable life in Ogun State than in Lagos or Abuja. This is a practical fact and not an assumption.

I hope my analysis and analogies are clear enough to understand.

TradeSunMoore:

My daughter had similar issue but with IOM. First you have to call the clinic for the outcome of the sputum test. I guess it will be negative. The IRCC SOP states a final X -ray 30 days after the negative sputum culture. So during the call you agree a date for the final X ray. We did not have to book, was told to walk in. After the X-ray, IRCC updated medical to pass same day on the portal, before we got home!

Thanks so much TradeSunMoore. He has gone for a 2nd xray. He didnt book. He just walked and did the Xray, that was done over a week ago but we havent recvd any result of the sputum test. They said sputum test takes 10weeks to come out. Please how long did your daughters sputum test take before it was released.

They are giving us any info, either sputum test or 2nd xray. Please how many Xrays did your daughter do. My hubby has done two

Hi Biola,

Yes i am in Canada, this platform played a major role in my journey. The fact that people dont have jobs doesnt mean that everyone's destiny is the same. I got a job that pays all my bills about 2 months after i came in. Well i'm in Ontario but not in Toronto, i hear Toronto is one the most expensive places to live. No matter how you look at it, prospects are much more here than back home. I mean for anyone who really wants to relocate.

Even people that relocate with PR face challenges but overall, i will neva discourage anyone from coming to Canada. Yes, come with as much money as you can because settling down initailly isnt easy but others have done it. Most importantly, i believe so much in the God factor. If God is with you on this relocation journey, you will never be stranded.

Did u really expect me to tell people, don't come o, here is hard. Hmmm. I cant say that o.

Hi madam; you misspelt your name on the application form, hence the incorrect spelling. The VFS biometric appointment letter is not linked to the IRCC form, so it displayed the correct name.

Using email and webform, provide a detailed explanation and attach the following;
a new completed IMM 1294 (if you used the Gckey account)
Data page of passport
Birth cert

Don’t forget to use ‘URGENT’ in the subject line or first line. Also, provide the following information:
Surname
Given names - exactly as they are written on the passport
Date of birth
Application Number
UCI
Country of birth
Country of residence
Type of application
International passport number
Passport issue date
Passport expiry date
Current address
Telephone number
Email address
Date of submission

It should be corrected within 2-3 weeks

8 week. But 8 -10 weeks is what the SOP stipulates. The sputum culture was negative. Because idea of a second X ray is just to confirm the negative sputum. Tthere will have been no need for a final confirmatory x ray (2nd Xray) if there was growth. She did one on the day of the medical as expected and the 2nd 30days after sputum. But on that day she did it twice as the initial one was not clear. The clinic will not give any result, I had the contact of a staff , that I was calling for update. All thing being equal the medical will be updated soon. Some systems/staff are just more efficient than others

Hi, please was your application submitted by an agent? Did you send the statement via MBS or it was printed?

You can send MBS now, let the statement be updated and then a reference letter from your bank and submit the ticket, reference letter and letter of explanation (explaining the ownership of the account and the steps you have taken to authenticate the statement) on your portal.
