Good day Virtual Fam. I know we have discussed telephone bill, hydro and some other bills at different times. My thought- Is it possible for our seniors to list and put bill estimates per month in their diff areas, provinces? I feel it will give a clearer pic & help one way or another.
Break down

Monthly bills - Gas, Bus, Uber, Lau Lau, Mortgage, Car Finance. All dependent on you. [/color]

House Rent =[color=#006600] 2 bedroom basement/Condo 900 - 1700. Ideally, you can get 2bedroom for 1100/1200. If you share with a correct person, it comes to 550/600. Mostly bills are inclusive. Check Kjiji to get an idea . You can rent it and then get a partner on Kjiji

Car insurance per car = Depends on your class of License. If you hold a G it could range from 170 - 200. if you hold a G2, could be about 200 - 300. All dependent on what you have covered. THere is 3rd Party to comprehensive

Phone bills - Chatr - 25 - 50. WIND - 45 - 70, BELL, Rogers, Fido Telus - 80 - 105. All depends on what you want. Iphone 8 is out and Ipone X is on the way. Note 8 too is hot in the market. Spend this money

Wifi n land line = 70 (If wifi only, combined with landline and premium TV could be as high as 170 if going with BELL (You can use style get quote from them when you chat with an agent)

Feeding for individual/family per month = 200. Can get to- 400 (If u dey chop like wobia, runs away)

School fees/daycare/pre school = School is virtually free. Public and Catholic schools

After school if applicable - Dunno. Children leave school around 3pm. They do 9- 3pm. SOme schools have embedded daycare to keep them till when you close from work

Hydro - Depends on how you run it.
Water bill - Depends on how you use it

Me too please. Embibell@gmail.com

Issyman:


you are very correct as I missed that part cos one will have to write final level papers of ACCA.

@ballerz pls help us ask your friend about his ICAN to CPA. How many papers he wrote to get the CPA so that we can compare both and decide which route will be d best.

spankyflex:
hi guys, please WAts the job prospects for professionals in the development sector? specifically monitoring, evaluation and learning.
cc ballerz, Sanford

eddycross:
Thanks. From your response, you only need to complete the IMM008 form.

To clarify, my PPR request seemed to request for three documents:
1. Passports
2. Height, Weight, Eye colour form (this was attached to the PPR)
2. Form IMM008
3. Additional Family Information <-- this is the one I want to confirm if anybody filled it.

SlowlybtSurely:


Mine has been sent for verification.

I guess every case is different.

yimiton:
1. Passport - Compulsory

2. Yes please, fill the height, weight etc form. Very important.

3. Has your family composition changed? that is: a new baby, a spouse etc? If not, read the PPR, you'll see that you're meant to fill the IMM008 only if your family composition has changed. If not, you do not need to fill it.

4. I didn't see any Additional Family Information and didn't fill anything. The only form I filled is the one that was attached, that is your number 2 below (height, weight, eye colour).

einsteino:


kindly tell us how long after you got your ECA you applied for ICAP, also what degree you evaluated and school. thanks
trying to identify patterns.

db23:
The airports tend to work out more expensive. Try bureau the change in malls Etc

mukhtar4u:


Actually I did my first ECA for BSc (OAU, Nigeria) in early 2015 and then additional ECA for MSc (King Fahd University) later in 2015

Ugoeloka:
Please engineers,
I am applying for APEGA(MIT) and I discovered during the "DETERMINE YOUR APPLICATION TYPE" page they asked for EXPERIENCE.
is this supposed to be our Nigeria experience or Canadian experience?
They did not specify the country, which means I can't supply the number of years of experience.

Secondly, should I check permanent resident as yes or no since I haven't landed

Please Dupyshoo, Ehrnie and other engineers who have applied. Thanks

DatechMan:


I would like to connect with you. I have PM you.

Ballerz:


You can do a search on LinekdIn, Indeed, Workopolis and others. That will give you an Idea.

SlowlybtSurely:


Nice. What's your assessment of that place? Would you live there again?

Ballerz:

Phone bills - Chatr - 25 - 50. WIND - 45 - 70, BELL, Rogers, Fido Telus - 80 - 105. All depends on what you want. Iphone 8 is out and Ipone X is on the way. Note 8 too is hot in the market. Spend this mmoney

Ballerz:


Someone called on Sunday and he explained everything. I was not listening. She can explain to you guys. But I know he mentioned Tax laws and then went on to Capstone stages. The cost was about 6k CDN. from ICAN to CPA. His firm picked up about 4,500. So direct cost to him was cushioned.

papaking1:
Anybody in Winnipeg here?

I was a business minded civil servant in Nigeria and had a liking for management (Studied Public Administration)
I have always wanted to become a business development manager and would love to go the way of management here.

Though my cousins here are not enthusiastic about it, I feel there are prospects for me as I see a lot of management positions on offer. I intend to take a job as a management trainee while I look for management courses to take, while building my management and Canadian job experience at the same time.

What do you guys please think about a management career in Canada generally?

Two good heads, as they say is better than one.

Ugoeloka:


Please Fusion23 do you mean Naija airport or Canadian airport?

Jonaslokk:
Hello homies!
I seriously need help about my visa including mentally help too cause this visa is driving me crazy, I applied to Vfs lekki, a study permit in Canada for Holland college around late July/early August and i didn't get any mail or anything till September's ending when I tracked the documents and saw there was a mail sent to me for pick up, wonderfully it was a medical request. But as it stands my program started on the 5th sep or so am obviously screwed cause I've missed a lot, I later sent the medical report ago I think 2 weeks now and I haven't gotten any feed back, every day that goes by I feel like I should hang myself cause I am dying! I don't eat much I have been sick thinking about my visa same with my dad that has been worried, I saw processing time is now 15 weeks now I hope that doesn't affects me cause am tired of everything I never even got a mail since I applied if not for tracking lord knows

mukhtar4u:


Hi DatechMan, I tried to reply your PM but getting delivery failure.

bigfido:


Hi Jonaslokk,

I understand how difficult it could be for people waiting on visas to improve the quality of their life. It could be frustrating. However, i think you need to get you mind off it for sometime and focus on other options however weak they are to you right now. You also don't have to hang yourself. Talk to people more often about it. it helps to get things off your mind. I wish you the best

salford1:

You are throwing stones in the market. Some of us are natural born wobias...
Round 1 and round 2 this afternoon.

freeradical:

Hope our story helps someone coming after us. Canada is very cold o especially this Edmonton. I'm still struggling to adapt to it. The place though is beautiful. The city is well planned and everything works here. We have been trying to settle in after the thanksgiving holidays. We have got SIN and phone lines. Yesterday we went to the welcome centre for immigrants office at Millborough market mall where we had an employment session. We have also applied for Alberta health tho it's still being processed. There is so much work to do but we take it one step at a time.
