Thanks to the person that introduced freetones here.

I purchased a number and opted for unlimited calls to and from US/Canada.

Just today i had my first phone interview with a Canadian employer. It was successful but unfortunately the job is starting too close to my landing date next week. Am suppose to meet with the manager and suppose to receiving some further training prior to the start date.

Another employer just contacted me for interview. Hopefully this one would click.

For all those hoping to get a job before leaving... its very possible. Package your resume... apply via indeed, job bank etc

Am landing Ontario next week. Any landed Nairalander with connect to IT jobs... please hook a brother up

Wow...that's awesome....Please if i may ask, i have also been using freetone which worked well at first, only to later realize that it no longer rings but just shows missed calls. I have missed a lot of calls because of this. Did you experience such?

ibnhasan:


What if the said spouse is not in the military and doesnt work for government? How long would it take to process the visa. Thats if one applies after COPR and before landing

vascey:


Salford please I have seen some job roles associated with audit which requires some form of security clearance by the government.

Please could you shed more light on the process? What is this clearance? How long does it take to get? What are the prerequisites?

vascey:


Please could you shed more light on the steps you took? I'll like to get this in as much detail as possible. You used freetone for ur number. How about your address?

Blackbuddy:


This is a nice update, thanks for sharing. You could send me a PM let me see if I can assist, cheers.

vascey:


I think its something to do with secrecy. Could you shed more light on this? What is the process? Is it something that can be gotten by an immigrant? if yes, what are the requirements?

PM request sent

Thanks @vcole, @canadianfly and @Nwandy218....you really did put my mind at ease.

It's quite straight forward but little bit expensive
1. Go to NCA website. its the regulatory body for lawyers in Canada . The person would need to access their university degree and Nigerian law school cerification
2 assessment takes about 6 weeks .
3 after the assessment, the NCA will determine the number of exams you need to write (between 6-8courses) exams are scheduled taken twice yearly . You can spread the six courses as you like
4. After you pass this courses then you are equivalent to a Canadian university graduate.
5thereafter you have to write the bar exams (solicitors and barristers exams) Each province has its own bar exam.
That's basically it.
It's quite an expensive and long process.

@teecan, i really can't answer your question because i have no idea what the job outlook for foreign hr/accounting professionals are. However, since i live in Calgary at the moment and already have a bias towards it, that would be my choice

Hello Sir BlackBuddy... I am in awe of your intelligence and also your matured response to all enquiries. May God continue to bless you. I am also a banker and thinking of going in for my ACAMS certification as I have the Nigerian Compliance certification already. Do you think I can proceed with it or hold on? Kindly note that I plan to migrate to Canada in 3 years times

chiobich:
Good morning Canadians. Please is any one who is leaving soon willing to sell off their TV? The one in my bedroom just started misbehaving and I am not looking to start acquiring brand new house appliances if I am to leave Naija this year. Edakun, epp me

TEECANN:


Thanks @vcole.

If you can't posit on the job outlook, at least you will have a thought or two to share on liveability, social "bubblingness" (its my English oo ), city events unique to either of them, neighbourhood character etc.

God bless!

It will end in praise IJN.

Hi Damidamsel, I know your question wasn't directed at me but I have experienced same and it was mainly due to the fact that my phone was on silent mode, and i didnt set call notification to a ringtone, so I don't hear it ring and only notice the missed call when I open the app. Once I removed it from silent mode and changed the notification from my settings, it was okay.

CAstruggle:


Yes I did. The app needs to be open always. At least within work hours in Canada. Just like your WhatsApp is always open and active.

vcole:
This bubblingness, I don't think I'm the right person for a proper assessment oh cos I'm more of a netflix and chill person, but if I'm to make a very very uninformed opinion, I would say Calgary is more bubbly than Edmonton. Job outlook - I think Edmonton is better economically at the moment than Calgary. I also think that cost of living might be slightly cheaper in Edmonton, at least rent-wise. In terms of character, they may be pretty much similar.

olajide21:


Please whats the distance (KM or hrs) is Calgary from Edmonton?

winter:
Hello everyone,

I and my husband got our COPR last year and just successfully added our new born baby.

Please I need insight into settling in Edmonton. What area of Edmonton would be best to settle in with a newborn baby. Are there any info we should be aware of? How easy or not is it to get those work from home jobs for myself. I dont intend to start full time work at the moment.

flosk:


Someone told me that it is around 7hrs drive( serious driving)

steroid:



Please how were you able to pay for the number. Did you use a credit card? because i tried paying with my GT naira debit card severally and it did not work.

It was the same card I used to pay for my WES.

Responses are welcome.
