......This season I hope it'll be just as severe as the last one

Bawss1:


Jackets for N2500? That's like CAD$10. Massive savings for you there.

Makes me wonder where the sellers realize their profit especially after you factor in shipping.

Bawss1:


Yeah,

BTW you guys know winter hasn't officially started right? Technically we are still in fall, winter will start somewhere around December 20th and it will get way colder than it is now in K-W. The really frigid months are January and February and this season I hope it'll be just as severe as the last one

GlitteringStar2:



Severe? Biko, it should be mild ooo.

eclectic139:


let me add the "not" for you incase you forgot.

Bawss1:





The only people with any hope of a mild winter are the Torontonians - and even that is a slim hope. The rest of you guy folks to the north and south of the province should brace for a traditional Canadian winter, i.e. harsh cold and wind. The gods have decided it so prepare and make the most of it.

Winter can be a lot of fun if you don't fight it and accept it.

i had deficiencies of 4 courses, so i was given option to take courses and exams from a list of schools. i was then assigned FE exam.

If you dont have deficiencies, and you have 4 years of work experience...your applications can be approved straight away, then you become an EIT...

if you have at least four years of engineering work experience, including one year of engineering work experience gained in Canada under the supervision of a PEng/PGeo...then you become a PEng/PGeo too.

Unfortunately, i dont know any geo around me. i work in the Electrical Industry (Utility). The two Geo i know. One returned to Nigeria to continue his employment (mobil), and the other moved to materials testing (Soil, concrete, asphalt -Civil), but I have come across profiles of Nigerian P.geologist on LinkedIn. Dont limit your networkimg to Nigerians alone.

1. If you have many years of documented work experience, all you would need to sit for is the law and ethics exam plus one year supervised training.

2. Yes..the 4 years count. But you still need one year Canadian experience without which you wont get the PGeo. This is the stage you need to network massively with people in your field, especially those working for smaller engineering or consulting firms since they have less bureaucracy in their recruitment process.

It’s not even funny in the toronto. Jan/feb this year, temps went as low as -22. I wonder how those up north Canada survive tbh. Maybe Vancouver wouldn’t be as bad.

Hello Salford1,

I have my PPR approved and Intend to move next year. Am an Engr and I worked with PHCN for 5 years before moving into the telecoms industry. However, I have been doing more of the telecom infrastructure support work.

From my research here and on some websites, there has been this picture being painted that things may be better for technicians in Canada than the Engrs. Somebody here mentioned there are many technicians, then technologists who are being supervised by the engineer so more technicians and technologists get employed than Engrs. What is your take on this? Can you share a personal experience

Estac:
I will upload the bottoms when I have a minute. I couldn't get any thermal tops tho. Seems thermal tops are scarce at Yaba.

kissoflife:
Thanks @salford1 and Glitteringstar, Just got my flu shot after reading your posts, I have been avoiding it until now Lol,

uchepixy:


Can you please share how you went about it? Where did u get the shot and how much ie for people who don't have insurance yet? Thanks

jelmusboy:
Are there winter boots at Yaba?

mcstan18:


Please o, do people still have their bath at such low temperatures? Sometime in January, my paddy in Calgary shared a -32 degrees screenshot with me and it literally froze me here in Nigeria.

Some people's teeth clatter vigorously during harmattan of 22 degrees here, how much more these numbers that are fit for building igloos.

mcstan18:
People take off from Nigeria every week but there are no landing stories shared here. Are they still airborne?

Estac:
yes. I got the coloured boots (female) for 5k each and the black ones (male) for 8k each. I saw much better ones on my first trip but didn't have enuf cash at the time.

Estac:
yes. I got the female ones for 5k each and the male ones for 8k each.

Newmum0615:
Where in Yaba please? Can you help with location and phone number perhaps? Do they have for kids as well?

Inception12:
Landed seniors, some help needed. I asked for a car insurance quote and 1 company gave me a quote of $8,000 pa which is just pure madness. How does one go about getting a smaller quote for new immigrants.

TheCongo2:


8000 ? That is way too much unless your car is a rolls royce
Where are you located? Insurance pricing also depends on the location.
