My fellow Canadian comrades,

My application just got approved, planing on traveling November for winter session,

My worry is that I want to change my course of study to nursing. Please house help me with guidelines on how to do this.

Can I do a change in my school

If not please suggest schools with low tuition fee and the process to getting admitted

Current LOA is health science, uni of Regina

Mother Google is tired of me already, I really need to know my stand, thanks in anticipation of your response

Thank you

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by kachikapor(m): 12:43pm On Sep 20, 2018
@ mzjennypher. that's exactly what we did when we arrived. We stayed in an Airbnb for a month and a half. We had the whole place to ourselves and it helped us get to know the environment better before making an informed decision on where to rent. It might not be for everyone though but we did it . Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone, how are you all doing.

Quick Question please, for the ladies(and gents)... about food stuff, does anyone here send for stuff from back home, stockfish and the like? i know we have stores that sell of of those things here but i'm not sure that's the way to go. So please if anyone has any info on how they bring foodstuff in (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg)....help a sister out! We'r almost out of the ones we came here with

Thanks

That was my initial plan (at least for 2 weeks) but a family friend offered to house me instead grin. So long as it's not going to cost an arm and a leg I don't see why not.....

Yeah it's long enough to understand the environment and make an informed decision. I did a week and had every cause to regret it.

Brief Landing gist:

Arrived in Calgary yesterday. Flew from Abuja air France. God favoured me I got a seat upgrade. So the 6 hour flight to Paris was comfortable. Had a 2.5 hour stop over in Paris. Then the 9.5 hour trip to Vancouver. I paid for a seat with extra leg room. So was quite comfortable too but my feet still got swollen lol.

Gosh that Vancouver airport quite disorderly IMO. So you join the regular really looong queue till you get to your turn and they say oh landing go to another queue then you meet another immigration officer who refers you somewhere else. This somewhere else also had loads of people. When it finally got to my turn. I was just asked are you excited to be a PR. I said excited but now really tired. Was done in less than 20 mins. So while the total time spent at the airport was like 3 hours the actual process was 20mins. If they had separate queues for landing immigrants would have been easier. I picked my luggage nothing was checked. I had 2 boxes one 16kg the other 11kg so nothing in my bag really just clothes.

Obviously I had missed my connecting flight but got booked on the next available one. Arrived in Calgary 6pm. I had gotten a furnished accommodation earlier in the month so just went home.

@Vcole, God bless you for all your hard work here. My driver's license expired in September last year. Do I need to get it renewed before coming over. I'm thinking Alberta. Thank you.
