Hello bosses,

Sorry for the silence. I have been busy with settling down and meeting deadlines.

So, a quick update.

Got my Social Insurance Number (SIN) on friday after many persuasion from my supervisor. It is a 5 minutes process atleast in my case. So even if you dont ger to do it at your POE, you can always do it at any Service Canada office closest to you (they are everywhere).

I dont know if I mentioned this earlier, please hold enough cash when coming. This is your first time in a new location and settling down might be abit on the high side until you get stable.

For those renting apartments, usually landlords require the first and last month rent before they lease. So if your rent is 450/month, you will be required to pay 900 instantly, then subsequent rent will be monthly. Now, you see where having cash at hand is necessary. You might use your ATM, but be sure that ATM is working to avoid stories. Better still, have cash at hand for immediate needs and some in your account.

Spending tips... use discount offers if they are being offered, spend when necessary, look for items on sale (even the people wey get the land sef dey look out for discount and sales...so no go dey form).

Lastly, if you sabi bone well, you go need to adjust your face oh to accommodate smiling, because dem sabi smile well for here even for the offices.

Safe journey to those landing this week and the coming weeks.

For the TRV hopefuls, goodnews is around the corner.

@dere, @yomalicious and those delayed, I salute your never giving up spirit. God go do am.

Regards everybody,

Mazi.

The gap is very wide and need explanations which must tilt and show progression. So yes, stick to a related program in sales and marketing if you've had significant work experience in it.

Hello everyone and kudos to the gurus in the house. I need urgent clarification on this scenario : the landed property document ( Deed & Survey) i want to use as one of my home ties has my middle name written as " Shola " instead of " Sola " as on my credentials and Int'l passport. My first & last name was written correctly. This mistake was made by the property company i bought the land from. Can i use these docs (Deed & Survey) or i should use The land receipt which has only my first & last name. Can these docs create unnecessary doubt in the mind of the VO ? Please advise.

CanadianNurse:
Bro, have you been able to open a bank account? What type of accounts exists there? What's the best for international students?

Also which network(sim) you buy? Any peculiar reason for choosing that network?
