So what do you suggest? To renew passport and travel with both? bbaby84: |

40manlappy: We keep going back and forth, can't make up our minds! As Kontagious said in the other thread, this post PPR phase is something else. After one headache comes another one. Lol. I wish we had a close family member over there, the "where" decision would have been an easy one. We're still looking at BC but the research keeps giving me all sorts. Vancouver: expensive no jobs, Abbotsford: drugheads, Victoria: expensive no jobs and on and on. Jobs are not an issue for me because I freelance, this is mainly for my husband. And I'd really like for us to start life in a proper city then move to wherever we decide. Ayam tayad of the research jare. We've looked at other provinces but we just keep returning to the beginning. This is a clarion call to anyone in BC willing to take me under their wing, I be good pikin. Hep needed. All that cold and snow of other provinces is scaring me s***less. 11 Likes |

elbanks1: I landed on the 2nd March, 2018. My International passport will expire on 10th June, 2018. I had no problem with Ethiopian airline, there was no question about the validity of my passport even the CBSA guys said nothing about it. All the CBSA guy told me was " WELCOME HOME". So, it was not an issue with me. I hope this helps. 12 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 11:44pm On Mar 12, 2018 |
This passport validity matter.....I think we may be overthinking it. The rules are dependent on your destination country. Whatever the rules are determine what the airline would accept. For example, the United States has certain countries from which it requires a 6 months validity on their passports as at point of entry, however Nigeria isn't one of them. I have flown from Nigeria to the states on a passport that was to expire 6 weeks after my date of entry. This seems consistent with kay2011's experience. @rainazoe, even if you change the name on your passport, the name on your pr card would be the name on your copr. |

maternal: Depends on what part of Canada. If in GTA, it's not too bad. Was initially planning on buying a car but no one will sell to me without a valid G or G2 license. Bus and sometimes UberX is definitely cheaper than a car. Just less convenient. Insurance is about 400CAD a month, then monthly financing, gas, etc. @Awemo 3 Likes |

elbanks1: I didn't but you can get a new passport and travel with the two. Just make sure the old passport has cancelled without prejudice on the blank pages. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Fortissimo502: 2:20am On Mar 13, 2018 |
I'd think passport validity would only come into play if you are attempting to travel on a temporary resident visa of some sort. You guys are PRs for goodness sake! You have right of entry!!! 6 Likes |

[color=#000099][/color] Fortissimo502: This is not correct, I contacted Lufthansa customer service yesterday and was told that passport validity must be at least 3 months at the time of boarding. So guys please contact your airline before jumping into conclusion. |

Yes. Renew your passport and travel with both... Some people have done that successfully. elbanks1: |

amindondee:thank u for sharing this information.people will be able to refer it when in such situation.I will like to know how long after approval will a PUM be sent.also does approval means the passport has been stamped with visa? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by rainazoe: 9:54pm On Mar 13, 2018 |
Let me breakdown my journey. I emailed CPA British Columbia asking for guidance on how to commence and I was asked to send my transcript (post), resume & acca cert (email) and ACCA letter of good standing (emailed to them by acca). The letter of good standing can be gotten by simply mailing ACCA with your details and the request from CPA-BC. I also filled a form sent to me. The name on the form should agree with that on your ACCA certificate. Once they receive the docs mentioned above and they are satisfied, you are asked to take the overview on law in tax course. It costs about CAD560 (tax inclusive). Once you get your certificate, you email it to CPA-BC. Next mail from them would be to complete the tax exempt form to prove you are non resident in CA aling with a copy of a utility bill. You will also post notarised copies of two IDs (I used my intl passport and drivers license). You also get to fill another form which should be hand signed by a supervisor. What I am waiting for is my final bill to membership. NB: CPA-BC can be very slow in responding. Other people say CPA-Ontario is a better option for the membership process. In addition, others did WES course by course evaluation for those that used WES for credential verification instead of sending transcript. I did use WES for verification but went the transcript route as it was cheaper. juicebox: 5 Likes 4 Shares |

Approval means your application has been approved for visa to be issued and passport can now be stamped with visa. It is after stamping the visas that PUM will be sent. From both experiences, PUM comes within 2-3 working days depending on your location. caon: 1 Like |

A quick question for those already landed please What is usually the requirement to rent an apartment to a newly landed immigrant without a job 1. If the person has no proof of income will they rent the house to him 2. will it be required to have a guarantor? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by 9jaAlien: 1:54pm On Mar 14, 2018 |
I am looking forward to this experience you are yet to share with us, as I have always looked forward to every one of your experiences. I see your posts as much more realistic and the norm, while I see others testimonials, though welcome and pleasant, as more of an exception than the norm in the life of a 9jaAlien. Please do not be discouraged to share by some comments, one person's meat will always be another's poison, I am sure I am not the only one on this thread that is following your experiences. I really wish we could be more tolerant of each other, learn to ignore what we don't want. I would also like to request for tips on survival jobs whilst seeking our dream job, to minimise the rate of POF depletion and ensure we do not come back on this thread like one poster crying for help. What kind of jobs and skill-set do we need to survive so that if it is possible to learn it in Nigeria before emigrating, e.g. driving for Uber, hairdressing, cooking,etc. [color=#006600][/color] czaratwork: |
