Feygbe:Try to apply for an international driving permission online at this service https://idaoffice.org , it won't take much time and almost any efforts. This company can also help you out with translation of your license, as far as I am concerned they work with 29 languages. 4 Likes 4 Shares |

Virt:Tax returns for the current year are filed between jan1 and april 30th of the following year. So tax returns for 2017 should be filed on or before april 30th 2018. If a pr landed in 2017 then s/he would file taxes next year. For child benefit, you don't need to have filed taxes if you are a newly landed immigrant, the form would explain to you how to declare your income prior to landing in Canada. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

Rocorleone: Hi, I've been driving for over 22 years and I still saw the wisdom in getting a driving instructor to show me the ropes when I got here and was ready for my practical road test. You'll need to unlearn a lot of what we do in Nigeria that we mistakenly call driving and familiarise yourself with the peculiarities of proper driving in Canada. As a good driver, you might only need 2 or 3 road lessons and you're good to go 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Hi seniors, Please I need your advice. I have a Swiss issued driving licence and we have a reciprocal agreement with Canada which means I can exchange my Swiss licence for the Canadian licence but there's a catch: My licence has to be at least two years old to get a full G licence otherwise I'll have to take a G2 test. My problem is I plan to land mid next year and my licence would only be 18-19 months old and I read that you have a maximum of 60 days after landing to exchange. Please what would you advice in this scenario? Thanks for your anticipated response. |

XX01: Basically how to circumvent the G2 test and get a G licence with my Swiss licence. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Virt: 12:11pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
Do you have the luxury of postponing your landing? say 3 months forward. That way you can attain 24months after 60days of landing. Apart from the above, I do not see another way around it. Santino1: 2 Likes |

Virt: Thanks Virt. Yeah, that's the dilemma. My COPR expires October and my licence will be 2 years in January. I have paid boatload of money to get the Swiss licence and don't want to pay anymore for the damn licence. |

Please how long does it take to get back our passport,it’s was received in Accra since on the 13th of November and I haven’t seen any update since then. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Santino1(m): 3:13pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
EJIZY: Accra Visa Office is taking an average of 20-30 days to process COPR these days. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Blackbuddy: 3:22pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
Santino1: If you can't postpone your landing till later, then when you land and the 60 days are up, take your licence to the Drive Test centre and see if you get a waiver on the remaining 3 months to reach 2 years. You could also get a letter from Switzerland attesting to your good driving conduct thus far similar to the letter of good conduct we get from FRSC in Nigeria. You never know till you try and if they don't waive the remaining time, just do the G2 and get to driving. In less than 6 months, you can take the full G. |

Santino1: Thank you Santino1....wished it came earlier though, I needed the passport for a trip. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Santino1(m): 3:33pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
Blackbuddy: Thank you Sir, I guess I'm gonna do as you suggested. It is just so frustrating that I had to pay through my ears to get the Swiss licence and I'm gonna have to pay again to for Canadian licence. By the way, thanks for the good work. I have benefitted immensely form your (and other senior colleagues) insights. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 4:27pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
Santino1:You'll take the basic road test and when you have up to 24 months you'll go back and take the advanced road test. So if you land at 18 months, then after 60 days uou would have 20 months. You exchange it for a Gdl or G2 license and after 4 months go back and take d advanced test and get a full G license. Confirm with the registry on arrival first that you can do this. 1 Like |

Rocorleone:Well, I've been driving for longer than 6yrs and I can say I'm a good driver not naija crazy type. Then i drove here for almost 90 days before my road test. If you read the book, watch youtube vids for clarification on rules you aren't sure of you'll be fine. However, I'll advice you get ab instructor for one session before your road test. I had one session for an hour just before my road test so he could point out any errors but I realized later that some instructors know the possibke route the road test examiner would take you through so it's worth paying for. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

Hi Blackbuddy, I would like to know if the internship/ Bridging programs offered by Acces is free or if it comes at a cost and are the programs available in Ottawa for people who want to be in the Financial Services sector? Thanks. Blackbuddy: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Blackbuddy: 6:23pm On Nov 27, 2017 |
Newmum0615: The cost of Acces programmes are heavily subsidized by the Federal and Provincial governments to assist newcomers. I learnt they actually cost about $2,500 but you pay only $500.00. We were told this is to ensure you have a stake in the process and make you committed since you spent some money for it and that makes sense. During the program, everyone fills a form to get a refund from the government through OBAP- Ontario Bridging Assistance Program. Some people get partial refund of the $500, some get full refund. They have a way of calculating it based on need, family size, amount of funds available in their budget. I got full refund of the $500 after the programme so it ended up being free for me. Checking Acces website, they have no location in Ottawa. See here, http://www.accesemployment.ca/index.php/contact-us/acces-locations 13 Likes 8 Shares |
