Wow!

Thanks for sharing this info.

Kindly give a brief info on the letter from the insurance company in Nigeria.

Was it addressed to the Insurance company in Canada or 'To whom it may concern'.

What was the content of the letter?

Thanks

XX01:


I am not too sure it will help. You need at least 2 years to be able to take the G directly or 1 year to be able to take the G2 immediately. If you're already in Canada, you can't have 2 months from Nigeria. But try sha, anything can happen.

Anyone at Tulip festival in Ottawa?

Please how can a fresh graduate immigrate to Canada from Nigeria. What are procedures please

pepe1:


Ok Boss.

Thanks for the clarification.

It is safe to say that the FRSC driving experience letter may not worth the hassles.

freeradical:



This is just one example. I've seen guys that got good insurance deals because they had a letter from their insurance company from back home. Once your instinct prompts u to get any document follow that instinct because the force moving you to Canada knows you are gonna need it.

sthillz:



Lol yes indeed..
I just assumed you thought i was a guy

And yes o. Its not easy to run an online business in Nigeria. I miss great WiFi, not to talk about international clients i have lost because i can't receive funds through PayPal. Cant wait to enjoy the benefits of running an online business in Canada

mamacajah:

Guys in Ontario,

Please pardon my question, it might be a bit insensitive.

Is this how emergency alert will be going forward? I understand it’s importance and all but I thought it was just a notification the first time so that anytime there is a province based general emergency, we will know. Now, radio, tv, phones, everything just paused and alert came on about a child last seen with a woman and to call 911 if seen. The alert even disconnects a call just to get one’s attention.

Pls is there a way one can ‘unregister’ from this alert services?

bbaby84:


Very insensitive. So a few minutes is such a bother to you? May it not be your turn, that's how everyone should turn off their own alerts too.

That's how complete strangers helped me find my son 2 years ago at square one mall Mississauga. Please let's be our brother's keeper and stop all these .....

*post rubbed me off the wrong way.

Oh my God.
What happened to your son?
Was he also subject of an amber alert?
How old is he?
Very sorry to hear that. Glad he was found safe and sound.

Thanks for the responses. The question wasn’t asked because of the scenario today or because a child was missing( he has been found). I highlighted in my post that I understand the importance of the emergency alert services and this is even the first time I’m seeing a child is the one being looked for. Bbaby84 so sorry for the experience you had and thank God he was found.
I simply wanted to know if there was a way to disable the alerts maybe in the intermin. Didn’t look to be judged, hence the disclaimer in my introduction but it’s okay. I understand we all have to look out for one another and be our brother’s keeper. I will assume the alerts can’t be disabled.

My brother, I don't pray it happens to my enemy. It was so traumatic for me. He was found by one of the security guys and was kept in the office till I got there.

We went to Apple store and I kept him on one of the tables with the tabs to play a game while I waited to see an advisor. I dont know how and why he got up and left while I was trying to put his sister in her buggy.
To cut the long story short I started looking for him and crying, a guy told me he saw him leave and I was like you couldn't stop him? He wasn't bothered to be honest. These two Caucasian ladies told me to show them his picture, thankfully we took pictures as we got to the mall and I showed them. They went different ways and one eventually saw a security guard who radioed and alerted the other guards and someone found him and took him to the office. They asked for my ID and I gave them my UK license as I was on holiday.

It could have been worse. I truly thank those women. I don't know what I would have done?

TheCongo2:


That is the tricky part.
I always wonder what to do if I ever spot a 2 year old child wandering alone on the road.
Assume there is no phone around, should I carry him to the police? (Which may look like an abduction).
Dealing with children can be a very tricky and complicated subject in North America.

I am pretty sure the guy didn't know you were the mother. Else, he was going to notify you.
The same thing almost happened to me at a McDonald's restaurant when my 3 years old son walked out of the playground door but I was quickly notify by someone.
