Oga einsteino, it's really up to you to do whatever you wanna do.

Automobile accidents/airplane crashes won't stop you from traveling by road or air, would it? so why would a "failed" relationship stop you from doing whatever... kindly do not derail this thread with your personal issues.

Good day all, I have been a silent follower of this thread. I'm here to share my arrival journey in Canada on 23rd September 2017.
Journey started Friday 22nd, used Egypt air was very skeptical about them but they surprised me with their service and flight to Cairo and Toronto was very smooth (I was given express check in at both airport cos I'm pregnant and had an active 3yrs old also). The flight to Toronto was extremely long and tiring but Egypt air hostesses made sure I was comfy, assisted me with extra pillows, blanket, hot tea, snacks and even told me to relax on 2seats that were vacant.
Immediately we got to Toronto, hubby and I started running towards immigration cos we had a connecting flight to Calgary in 3hrs. Immigration process was smooth and fast cos we were one of the ist to reach there, proceeded to customs, experienced thrashing of goods, some even searched documents. I started praying seriously our bags shouldn't be searched (3check in bags and 3hand luggage) cos it will waste time. the custom's guy noticed I was pregnant cos my hubby told him so I can have a seat and my son was over the place. We listed all the goods and value that we are importing before we got to the airport so he just stamped and gave us clearance form. None of our bags were opened, it can only be God
We basically ran from terminal 1 to 3 for the next flight which was long journey, got there just about check in was closing ( missing flight would have cost us extra 300CAD, Choi). Arrived safely at Calgary and a friend came to pick us. Starting search for a house today and other plenty stuffs.
Thank God for a smooth arrival and wish those yet to come a safe and smooth arrival also

Hi,

My drivers licence has expired and I do not plan on renewing it before leaving. Please is the valid drivers licence bit compulsory or can i just make do with the FRSC letter?


Ballerz:


Please do not waste your time with the Nigeria International license. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. It cannot even serve as a valid ID card. (Not surprised, it is issued by the Nigerian police). I got one, then I realised it was valid for just a year and very crappy. It is a waste of your money jare. Do not bother with that blue thing. Your Nigeria license and FRSC letter is all you need oremi.

Cheers

On the Nigerian License,

Please make sure it is original. Do not try to be funny or smart.
We were gisting yesterday on our way back from church when my buddy mentioned that he did not know his Nigeria license was fake. It was obtained through VIO at Mabushi.

I asked how come? He said VIO just said he should bring a passport (that machine was faulty). I told him that should have flagged it that you were not doing the right thing because you did not capture at FRSC. I said, if you had obtained the letter from FRSC, they would have told you, it is a fake license you hold and you would have shaparly sharparly done the correct thing before you left 2 years ago.
He said they almost arrested him and give him a 2year ban but he was able to convince them he did not know, so with mercy he got a year ban before he could drive.

Moral of the gist, please ensure that license is authentic and do not go and obtain oluwole FRSC letter. I am sure they have a way of authenticating these documents because I know FRSC collaborates with the Ministries of Transportation in Canada.
More so, so that you do not block other Nigerians from having it easy, because when too many fakes start popping up, they will become more stringent and start asking for the DNA and Blood sample of the FRSC officer that issued the license and letter.
Cheers

From my research, the licence has to be valid and not expired for the FRSC letter to be allowed. It would be in your interest to apply for the renewal And see how you can rush it. If not, you have a 2 year waiting period as a learner driver.

No, health insurance cover is not compulsory. It is advisable though if a family member(s) has a health condition that can be pricey to manage.

Of the same month? That is super fast! I thought someone said it takes at least 2 weeks?

As the country is experiencing a buoyant economy, there are a lot of building and construction projects going on all over the country especially in British Columbia and Ontario which are leading the country in building/construction activity. See what I found online just now with a cursory open source search:

This is a just a general outlook please and not exhaustive, you will need to do more in-depth research knowing your skill level and area of expertise, years of experiences as well as your level of preparedness for the task of job search. All the best.

Hello,

Moving to Canada? Or even thinking about it? I migrated to Canada this year (2017) and experienced several difficult situations during the process. sad I have created a survey to find out what new migrants to Canada would want/need when they move to Canada; and if they are willing to pay for the convenience of having all of this taken care of before they arrive.

Please kindly fill this survey and share with as many friends as possible who are already in Canada or are in the process of moving to Canada.

Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PBL9CRG

Thanks in advance for filling the survey. Let me know if you'd like to know the results and I'll post a follow up.


Thank you all, I really appreciate it smiley
