Hi, pls, is there racism in Canada?
Do they kill blacks like in the USA?
Do you experience tribalism in Nigeria? Racism is some form of extension. It's the world's reality. Regardless, Canada is a healthier society to live in than Nigeria is, and everyone can do their part in fighting the scourge of racism.

Oh! I didn’t see that part. I’m also going to apply for it next week. I’d advise you do it yourself. My FRSC plug said it can’t be influenced. But then again in Nigeria everything is possible.

Really?

Okay.
Thanks a lot.
Let me try applying myself via the portal.

just so you are aware.. There's backlog on the whole process. March or April I think. So if you don't use a plug, be ready to wait a very long time

Problem

Good day seniors.
Please I'm finding it difficult getting accomodation in Grand Prairie Alberta for my family and I from September.
2 or 3 bedroom flat. Please if you have or you know anyone please let me know.
Even if it's a single room I can stay in for a month while I intensify my search for accommodation for my family that will be arriving soon, I will be grateful.
Moving from Ontario.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone
I have an enquiry concerning income tax. Hope someone can shed some light .
For someone whose is the sole sponsor of his spouse and kids that are studying in Canada but working in his home country and visits occasionally. Is he meant to also pay income tax in Canada after paying income tax in his home country?

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by MayorOfEdmonton: 3:21pm On Aug 14, 2023
No...that will be double taxation.
You only pay tax if you live and work in Canada.

Hello everyone.
My husband and I are expecting our baby soon and I want to have the baby in Canada, I recently got my Canadian PR visa and want to take advantage of that.
I currently live in Europe and I plan to come into Canada before mid November. My plan is to do a soft landing, have my baby and go back to take care of myself and child before permanently relocating as a PR to Canada.

I have no one in Canada and will be landing for this purpose during winter, I need an accommodation in Alberta for a period of two months. Anyone in Alberta with an extra room in their house available for short term rent will be an ideal plan for me.
I want to be around people as much as I can. I am also open to joining Alberta group for this purpose pls.
I want to settle the accommodation as soon as I can.
I am open to other provinces as well.

What do you think could be the reason the individual is asked to declare past and present earnings outside Canada?
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by MayorOfEdmonton: 12:02am On Aug 15, 2023
Hard to tell for sure, what I know is for most folks that just arrive Canada and yet to file tax, they file a form that asks for their previous earnings.
That way they can qualify for government benefits and rebates(CCB,GST/HST etc)

I went through your past posts on NL to know your kind of personality because I know a female friend willing to sublet her room, you claimed you are an introvert, and you enjoy your private space and don't like sharing your space while you loose energy having people around you.

Now that you are pregnant and you need help with accommodation and help from people, you still came here to claim you want people around you.

You want people around you now as maid shey?

Personally, people like you don't deserved to be helped.

Your response is typical. You have very little and probably are inconsequential in the scheme of things but are putting up a show like someone who has what it takes to help.

If you cannot help the pregnant lady, steer clear. I am repulsed to think that dark-hearted people like you are in Canada. You clearly do not have the Canadian spirit and are a toxic addition to Canada. People like you dilute the good spirit of Canada. Imagine Canada having someone like you as a New Citizen.

Irrespective of what the person has posted in the past, your post shows that you are a low quality person filled with hate.

It is attitudes like these that will keep the asians firmly ahead of Africans in Canada. No spirit of fraternity.

A pregnant introvert doesn't need help? Did I ask to share same room with the person accommodating me?
I don't know if you're a man or a woman, but either ways pregnancy isn't something easy and this is my first. It only make sense that I want accommodation around people in case of medical emergency. I am not looking for someone to cook for me or wash my clothes while I'm 9 months pregnant inside Canada winter, I'm simply doing this because any emergency beyond my control could come up and having absolutely no one around doesn't make sense. I've always looked up to stay alone in airbnb, but I had a change of mind.
I am a good person, I shouldn't be denied help based on my introversion. If your friend has an accommodation up for rent, she will never regret letting me in.

Thank you o. He simply said I do not deserve to be helped not because of anything but because I am an introvert. I don't even know how that sounds to him or her.
Is it now a criminal offence to be an introvert? I love my space like he saw in the previous post, but does that mean I have lived in isolation away from people all my life?
And at this critical point of pregnancy, I don't know why my introversion should be a problem in getting an accommodation around people.
I'd have been totally fine with airbnb if I am not pregnant, but I cannot risk living alone in such setting when I know how unpredictable pregnancy can go. May God help us.

This post was absolutley unnecessary (especially the last sentence). It is quite worrisome to know that folks like you exist in Canada. I pray that our paths don't cross, unless perhaps you become more humane and a little more mature with handling emotions and speech.
