That double standard statement, but Mr. Carney may seem brilliant to you, but it may not reflect the facts of the matter. It’s probably your personal opinion, not the opinion of the majority

I'd be keen to know examples of people you respect for their brilliance and achievement.

Pls I need quick response on this.
Can I carry 3 kids along with me to Canada with a work permit I.e if I have a job offer in Canada? If yes, then what visa will they go with?
Then will they have thesame benefits as a dependant of someone with study permit?
Please help a sister.
Any with ideal on work permit. Can the spouse and children move with the person with the job offer Or does it depend on the kind of job? Someone pls enlighten me.
Thanks and God bless as you help a sister.

Well said. It was surprising seeing that quote. It's like Andy Carroll criticising C. Ronaldo.
I've noticed there is a telling lack of understanding of British politics here. They are the kings of double-speak aka British diplomacy. When a British politician says something, you dont jump at it. You first take a step back and rumminate over why they said that.

I dont speak to defend politicians but Carneys profile is brilliant. Whether he would make a good PM is to be seen.

I dont speak to defend politicians but Tinubu profile is brilliant

Hi,please does anyone have an apartment i can rent in winnipeg as i will be coming in may 2025 to resume at UWinnpeg?. Thanks

To be honest with you, banking operations for 7 years is not premium experience to bring to Canada. Banking is very saturated here and because it operates quite differently (in some ways) from what obtains in Nigeria, many Canadian banks will hesitate to bring you in at the same level as you are in Nigeria. That's not to mention the need for Canadian experience that could sometimes be a hinderance. However, that shouldn't deter you. I'll recommend a few things to you.

Start looking at additional transferable skills you could layer on top of or adjacent to your banking experience. For example, say you also did project management while you were at the bank, try to sell this as a different skill by (1) trying to write PMP if you can, and (2) preparing a different resume that sells you as a project manager (and not a banking advisor, for example). If you have other transferable skills, try to build resumes in those directions and claim your normal years of experience doing this. Things that I can imagine you can spin out of working in a bank could be project management, business intelligence, business development, customer success, customer service, etc. You are the one who knows better, in any case. But these could help increase the breadth of organizations you can apply to outside of banking institutions. I remember once successfully advising a process engineer to spin out into data analysis because he did work with a lot of data as a process engineer, except he had to write a few Microsoft data certifications to layer on top of that experience and get up to speed quickly with some well-known data analysis tools like PowerBI.

Second thing is to start building your network. LinkedIn is a very good place to start. So are arrival services, which are almost all free. Try to register for one of these arrival services in Canada once you land and go take many of their programs, and try to build your networks from there. If possible, reach out on LinkedIn to people working in your desired field and look into going to the same networking events they are going to, so that when you are there you can say stuff like "Oh, I actually follow you on LinkedIn. I like what you discussed about ......It's quite related to what I did back in my previous organization where I was employed as......I've been looking for new opportunities in this area since I came to Canada some few months ago so that I can expand my skills...." Anything along those lines.

Third thing is to start furiously applying for jobs RIGHT now. Nothing should be stopping you from throwing as many resumes out there as you can, making sure to tailor each according to the job you want. You don't have to expect anything, but it doesn't hurt to try. My recommendation here is to keep your expectation low, as you continue to do the two above. If you find that there is need for you to acquire a few certifications here and there to boost your chances, this is when you start working on them. For example, would you be shooting for project management jobs while leveraging your banking experience, then start prepping to write PMP, etc. THis is the part where you are building yourself, while not waiting for a job first.

Finally, in addition to all above, you want to prepare for the worst case. What's the worst case? That all these efforts don't pay off for several months. In that case, what's your plan? Do you want to do Uber on the side? Ubereats? Skip? Or you want to shoot for a quick Amazon warehouse job? Or customer service from home? Something in retail? Or you are quite handy and don't mind becoming a blue collar? If you are open to any of such contingencies, this is the time to start working towards them. For example, if you think you are going to do Uber, then go tidy up your Nigerian driver's licence and learn how you can quickly transition to start driving in Canada. Would you need to start studying the driver's handbook for the exam? Time to start now. Just plan, plan, plan. If you would love to get into welding because it's something you've always thought about, time to visit a welder in Nigeria and start learning the basics, etc.

I have always maintained that all that ecstasy or excitement from getting Canadian PR, all that excitement that follows "He has finally done it!", all that jumping up and screams of excitement that is so palpable all over the Canadian express entry thread once folks get their visa; all that excitement is unwarranted and doesn't prepare you for what to expect in Canada. Canada is no heaven. In fact, anyone could be easily worse off once they get here. It doesn't get any easier. If anything, it could get crazy mental. What matters is to start preparing once you are sure you are leaving the country. There is a lot of preparations to do and only those who prepare win in the end!

Thank you so much for this,I am grateful.

I dont speak to defend politicians but Tinubu profile is brilliant

You're comparing Tinubu to Carney who due to his performance during the globlal financial crises was head hunted by the UK (who he was not a citizen of) to lead their economy?

Like I told the chap above, I'd be keen to know examples of people you respect for their brilliance and achievement.

I'm voting Pierre Poilievre. He might have presented himself as a mini-canada version of Trump by his anti-woke, anti-media, anti-DEI rhetorics but this guy knows exactly what the problem is and he has always built his campaign around this manifesto that reflect the yearning of the people.
Poilievre has promised to repeal the impact assessment act and issue license for more minerals and energy exploration as well as approve new energy infrastructure including fast tracking the east coast pipeline corridor.
What Canada needs now is economic independence from America, we cannot continue to allow america determine our economic destiny. The only way to do this is open new economic opportunities for trade, something Liberals are very reluctant to do.

Even Mark Carney has embraced a lot of Poilievre's campaign promises including repealing the carbon tax and building new oil pipeline because he knows Poilievre is making common sense.
However, Mark Carney cannot be trusted, he's just another elite globalist, a mouth speak for large global financial institutions who will sacrifice Canada's future for some nonsense global agenda such as climate change or whatever. He will say anything to be PM but will pursue the globalist's agenda once in office.
If in doubt, check his resume. Carney was the former UN special envoy on climate action, and a strong proponent of achieving net-zero emissions. Himself and John kerry pioneered the glascow finance alliance for net zero initiative , and forced private corporations and world leaders to contribute financially to the scheme.
If u think Carney will give up his lifelong climate ambition just because he's PM of canada, then we must be living in delulu land. Besides Mark Carney is amongst the top advisors of the disastrous Trudeau regime, they told the music teacher turned PM what to do regarding the economy and we know how it turned out.

Canada doesn't need someone like Mark Carney as PM as this precarious moment in its history. The next 10 years is very crucial for canada, voting another liberal globalist will spell disaster for canada. This country for once must also think canada first and prioritize the needs of its citizens ahead of some scare mongering climate noise that benefits nobody.

He is mr Net zero for a reason. His wife is also into the net zero BS. So 75% of Alberta crude will still have to go to the USA. No pipelines to Ontario/quebec or north West 🤣

The bigger problem is a vote for this Mark Carney and his pro-climate, anti-pipeline stance will lead to voters frustration in Alberta leading to deepened independence agitation in that province.
Alberta is one of the few provinces immune to the Trumps tariff war and the last thing we need is allow electoral dissatisfaction become a thing in the province. Recent poll shows majority of Albertans are very open to leaving Canada and the Alberta Premier has said she wouldn't oppose any call for referendum if the voters demand for it.

We can avoid all this by voting common sense. Vote Pierre Poilievre

I agree with you. This is why Trump prefers a liberal government cos it favors the US. He knows that Mark Carney will not do what it takes to reduce dependence on the US cos they are too beholden to their ideology that they throw away their common sense.

Liberal stupidity in the west is the cause of this current rise of far right populism we are now seeing in the west. They are not realistic. If they had moderated their ideology to reflect reality, we wouldn't have had someone like Trump.

Let's hope if MC wins, he will back off these stupid ideologies for the sake of national unity. Maybe Trump's 51st comment all along is not necessarily to get the whole of Canada which is not realistic but to poach Alberta into the US. If the rest of Canada don't want Alberta oil then maybe America that wants it should have it.

I'm still undecided on who to vote for. If election was last November, the Conservatives would have had my votes. Carney hasn't convinced me yet. I am waiting for the debate before choosing who to vote for. The other issue is that Carney is just copying Poilievre platform. It sounds like he would do everything to get elected.

Nice points to read. It seems these days, it's immigrants that want to protect their new found lands from becoming worse than they met it.

Hopefully, Ndi lovey dovey don't accuse you of being an Uncle Tom or trying to prevent other immigrants from entering the country. To Ndi lovey dovey, only so-called liberal parties know the best for a country.

Why won't you take such serious?

emmaodet:
Why won't you take such serious?

Anything that distrups the economy is unacceptable to me. As a Nigerian, our country isn't responsible for the so-called global warming. We do read and hear that we will face the most severe consequences, fine by me as long as we use our natural energy resources to become wealthy. When we've as wealthy and industrialised as Malaysia before anyone can tell us about climate change. Even the Malaysian example is wrong as Malaysia still cuts forests to cultivate palm oil, process them and ship to Europe and India.

My focus has always been on the economy. Should the environment be protected? Yes. But not at the expense of the economy. So if a forest needs to be cut down to cultivate cash crops or build roads/highways, dams etc., fine by me. A country needs to utilise its energy resources in order to provide cheap energy to its people and industries.

In summary, the economy is paramount to me and nothing should affect it. Economy > Environment.

The funny thing is that the programs like express entry, 3-year post graduate work permit and part way for international student to permanent resident were all introduced by the Conservatives the party against immigration. When many people say such, I asked them when they came to Canada. Before the start of express entry, it could take at least 4 years to process federal skill worker permanent resident visas from Nigeria. The Conservatives made some changes after winning election in 2006 before arriving at express entry.

Nothing wrong with promoting climate change but not by make people poor.

I feel like until the climate change initiative is global, its just gonna put the developed countries at disadvantage

It's the same thing that put Germany in trouble

Any climate initiative without full compliance AND enforcement from China is a waste of time in my opinion

because it doesn’t make sense .

No pipelines from Alberta to Ontario, the current ones go through the USA

Killing industries and investments with carbon taxes

Turning down deals that improves economy

Mandating people to drive only electric cars come 2035. Meanwhile the country has a huge land mass that will require many charging stations

I'm saying it judging from the rants by Ndi liberal Nigerians on TwitterNG during the previous election. They said Nigerians who supported the Conservatives were coons who don't want other immigrants to enter Canada. Whereas as you have stated, the Conservatives initiated the EE program.

You should be questioning those Nigerians who believe every Nigerian in the abroad must support so-called liberal ideas.

First of all, I am a liberal, and I see nothing wrong with liberal policies at all. Caring for the environment, marriage equality, and worrying bout inequality amongst others are laudable causes.

Second, liberals are not always pro "open the damn border". That is a stereotype that people have that has to be squashed.

Third, a Nigerian who is "stereotypically right wing" is someone I can't take serious because why support what is am existential threat to your well being

And fourth, the world is on the knife edge right now
We need less people that will tip it over

What is even more funny about this whole immigration malarkey is that as with Canada, it was the Conseevatives in UK that were directly responsible for the "mass migration" into Britain, and Reagan, an almost far right republican president that granted blanket amnesty to illegal immigrants

PP inability to pivot, and Danielle inability to keep quiet and not rock the boat caused this. Canada is a diverse nation, and not everything is about oil.

Canada's economy independence and prosperity depends on it.

I'm socially liberal to an extent and but generally pragmatic. I'm all for the economy to be expanded and protected.

Second, liberals are not always pro "open the damn border". That is a stereotype that people have that has to be squashed

Sorry, but that's untrue judging from views surrounding elections in Germany, Netherlands, UK and the US. The ones in Canada surprisingly changed their views.

Third, a Nigerian who is "stereotypically right wing" is someone I can't take serious because why support what is am existential threat to your well being

Nigerians are generally conservative people. So them or we supporting parties that promote such ideologies isn't an odd thing.

And fourth, the world is on the knife edge right now
We need less people that will tip it over

Unless there's a new major war, I don't see the difference between now and when liberal politicians in the West held sway.

What is even more funny about this whole immigration malarkey is that as with Canada, it was the Conseevatives in UK that were directly responsible for the "mass migration" into Britain, and Reagan, an almost far right republican president that granted blanket amnesty to illegal immigrants

Because birth rates weren't as terribly low as they're now considering the ratio to elderly people in the society. The pension system has to be sustained. Two, the West has got new competitors in industries and markets it once dominated. The Chinese market was once a free-for-all for many German companies, but today, they've to compete head on in both China and Germany itself.

These are calm and wise words.

On the assumption that majority of Albertans will vote Wexit ( but this is not the case, at-least according to this poll - https://angusreid.org/smith-shapiro-sovereignty/), the constitutional battle alone will torpedo any progress. It is the-same reason Canada will remain a constitutional monarchy and the crown will never be expunged as the head.

Canada is a beneficiary of treaties between First nations and the crown. The Natural Resources Transfer Acts allow treaty lands to be transferred from Ottawa to the provinces. Secession breaches this Act and that means the treaties come into focus again. Good luck with 'seceding' that! What about the reserve lands that are strictly under federal jurisdiction?

Reality will set in after the election.
