To determine if $17 a hour is enough to get an average life in Canada, you have to indicate where in Canada. Cost of living is not the same for the whole country. 3 months free accommodation sounds unbelievable. When I moved from Western Canada to Atlantic Canada, I got only 2 months free accommodation. So, 3 months free accommodation for a $17 a hour job sounds some how. Yomzy08: 1 Like |

ednut1:Well its real there's nothing fishy about it tho, I'm just concerned about the wages if it's enough to earn a living |

MayorOfEdmonton:Ok thanks alot, I'll make sure we have a written agreement concerning the accomodation issue, but still will you advice I shouldn't accept the offer? Coz I feel it's a rare opportunity |

Llaye: Don’t let anyone discourage you please. I am a PR, I I haven’t been in Canada for up to 3 years and I’ve been working with the FG for over 2 years. When it was time for security clearance, I didn’t have to do anything other than fill a form. It took about 2 months for my clearance to be issued, it wasn’t a big deal at all. 7 Likes |

MayorOfEdmonton: Actually, you are correct. There is no pending security clearance from home country. However, the Army carry out the background/security checks on their own once one pass the CFAT exam and about to join the military. The background check takes from 6monthz to 18months if you are a PR. It covers all the places one has lived for the past 5years. 3 Likes |

Thank you. I had thought all of these roles require the security clearance. I'll look through more closely. olalekan9320: |

But baba shey you know say LMIA visa is employer specific AKA Closed Work Permit, so the only way he will likely find if the work conditions are unfavourable is back to Nigeria. That’s why minimum wage LMIA offers is not advisable cos the person will likely be stuck at min wage for years before you can get enough experience to transition to PR if the work experience n education will even qualify the person for EE. #JustSaying aestake: |

About 2 months ago, I embarked on the longest road trip in my life, it was a Solo trip (Alone!). I drove from Eastern Canada to the West Coast via the Trans Canada Highway. This trip is over 5000km and it's 3days if you drive nonstop (takes a week with normal driving), this is about the distance from Nigeria to U.K, the amazing part.? I did it in 3 days - fastest ever possible!!! On one of those days, I drove for over 15hours in the 24hours I had to myself. The Mind-blowing part is, I was physically present in 4 provinces in a single day (Manitoba > Saskatchewan > Alberta > British Columbia) and I changed timezones three times on that day while driving. I learnt a lot on this trip, I saw the vastness of this amazing country and I realized I'm actually tougher than I used to think. I had an encounter with a Black bear on the 3rd day. Too many gist, too many videos, too many pics, It's overwhelming! The trip is daring and dangerous especially for a lone driver and it feels endless. Would I do it again? Most likely! 21 Likes 4 Shares

Icesnow: It is a good career to pursue. If you meant study in school, that’s a different conversation. If you are job ready and equipped with the necessary information on how to navigate the PM career path, then you have made a good choice for yourself. |

It's very funny how the temperature keeps dropping as I move from East to West, and it suddenly went up immediately I entered BC. It was -5°C in Brandon,MB and -15°C in Moose Jaw (3rd Pic) Saskatchewan was iced up, Medicine Hat and Calgary were in between then immediately I entered Golden, BC the temperature became normal, about 8°C. Thanks to the mountains!!! I literally experienced and understood firsthand, why most parts of BC has the warmest weather in Canada. 13 Likes 2 Shares

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Llaye: 6:22pm On Dec 13, 2023 |
oh this sounds very interesting!! alone?! Why did you do it so quickly though? I'm thinking going slower will give you more time to enjoy the sights Afolavid: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by onegig(m): 6:31pm On Dec 13, 2023 |
Afolavid: Wow. You must be a strong willed person to do it when it was almost winter. Done some stretch of that road late summer and it was blissful. The best part of that drive is the Northern Ontario end and BC Mountains. It's fun but also crazily scary especially at dusk and dawn with all those crazy Moose in Northern Ontario and the windy, steep and curvy roads. Hundreds of beautiful lakes around these area. Sas,MB and Alberta are just wastelands. You would almost sleep off on the steering wheel once you enter Manitoba. Just straight road with nothing left and right. Your best bet to capture videos would have been Dashcams. Well done. Not easy. 5km in 3 days is crazy. 3 Likes |

Hello guys.. Please, I have a few questions bothering me. First, would it be required to have visa when transiting Frankfurt on the way to Nigeria and London on returning to Canada ? And, can I travel to Nigeria and back to Canada with about two months remaining on both study permit and visa? Hope there won't be any issues with immigration? Kindly advice please. |

Greetings all, pls I will like to confirm the docs to get handy and the questions to expect at Toronto POE with a SP, SOWP and Visistors VISA for children. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Afolavid: 2:48am On Dec 14, 2023 |
Llaye: Trust me, it was interesting but would have been more fun if it was done with family or friends. Did it all alone. Yeah, going slower would make me enjoy the sight and have more fun but I moved because of work (a project) and it was going to start in less than a week, having wasted enough time in Ontario, I had to push my gas... I'll be doing the return trip in a few months, I'd do that at a much slower pace 😄 1 Like |
