Ambidextrause: It actually depends on the type of car you driving and the year, also you province matters a lot cos in Ontario insurance premiums is way too high. Keep a good driving record,do not go past red lights, make sure u stop for stop signs, avoid distrative driving,do not make a claim where you can avoid and make sure no one makes a claim on you. The premiums doesn’t just go down the following year even if your records are perfect. It will take an average of 3 consecutive years for you to get appreciatiable reductions in your premiums. 9 Likes |

Why is it that 90% of Nairalanders go to Ontario, trust me Alberta comes top if you can have your feet on ground. People just rush to Toronto in particular just because it’s a big city. As a Nigerian if you not in Canada to look at skyscrapers, you may start considering Alberta. If you an engineer, Fort Mcmurray is your best bet. 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Riversides2003:I do not think they rush there because of skycrappers. People move to provinces where they believe they can easily get back on track. Alot of Nigerians work in the finance and IT industry; hence, Toronto region come up as a natural fit for them. Alberta's economy wasn't doing to good when I left in 2015, and I dont think much has changed since I left as I still visit frequently. However, I know that Grand Prairie and Fort mc to an extent just as you mentioned were booming and maybe still booming, but the boom is still very low compared to when Alberta's oil was selling for over $100 a barrel unlike now that it is selling for around $10 a barrel. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Hi all, Please I'd like to know if anyone here is in the farming industry or at least interested in farming. I'm seriously considering it but I'd like to hear from others how feasible it is for a new migrant. I'm specifically interested in poultry farming (for a start). I don't mind the quiet life - in fact I may even prefer it, and I know I'll need to get hands-on training before I can start off mine but my areas of concern for now are the initial set-up costs, pros and cons of raising kids in that setting, accessibility to amenities like good schools, malls and hospitals, ease of integration into the farming community (as a new migrant I don't want bad belle people to frustrate me o - I don't know how things work over there). I've heard Saskatchewan is the agricultural hub of the country so for now it's my province of choice but I'd like to hear your views on this. P.S. What's the best way to get the training (is it better to go to a college or get a job on a farm) 5 Likes |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 5:20pm On Dec 08, 2018 |
njbybrthnly:Southern Sask, Southern Alberta and Souther. Manitoba are all agricultural hub. Alberta ia however more of cattle farming. I have driven past and seen farms of sheeps, pigs, bison, cattle, wheat, canola, rye, flax, sunflower, corn e.t.c maybe poultries for birds are hidden very far away from settlements. You would find good schools, malls, hospitals located in cities everywhere in prairie. There are fams surrounding both big and small cities in the three agric provinces. Getting into Agric should not be difficult for new migrants. There was a documentary not long ago about how Syrian Immigrants (refugees) had been moving into farming in Alberta. Seems they had people willing to lease their land to them for farming. https://www.fcc-fac.ca/en/ag-knowledge/knowledge/start-a-farm-from-scratch-difficult-but-possible.amp.html 14 Likes 6 Shares |

Does oil price determine the prospect of other sectors in the province? Just thinking that decline in oil price should affect oil and gas sector only. Sorry, I'm not good with economics if am wrong salford1: |
| Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by maternal: 9:11pm On Dec 08, 2018 |
jelmusboy: It affects everything, and I mean everything in the province. The oil industry affects thousands of other industries like tradesmen, etc. If oil companies start laying off or not hiring as much, other sectors get affected. And as other sectors get affected, people won't spend as much money. But Alberta is still better than any province in Canada in my opinion. 1 Like |

Riversides2003: My brotha/sista, I don talk am before. People even laughed at me earlier in the thread, saying I too dey talk about Alberta a lot. The province is unbelievable. Most people who land in the GTA like you said just want to see tall buildings, go chop suya/star with their friends on the weekend, then go to a owambe. Even these IT or other jobs they talk about, by the time to pay for transport, insane housing prices, etc how much does one have left living in the Toronto area ? How much ? My good friend, his sister, along with my cousin moved out of the rat race called the Toronto area as I pressured them to do so. Within 2 years they're all doing good and purchased new homes. Something they could never do in Toronto. Because you need a million dollars or more to get something decent in the GTA. I have many more of these stories. But a lot of Nigerians are becoming wise as the Nigerian population/community has grown a lot over the years in Alberta. People are starting to come here first. The province leads the country in highest wages and immigrants are striving there. Even though the oil sector is struggling a bit, there are so many other decent jobs one can get. Lastly, taxes are much lower there, no PST. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-highest-wages-1.4722511 https://www.thestar.com/edmonton/2018/06/12/alberta-the-cool-new-spot-for-immigrants.html 26 Likes 6 Shares |

Hello good people, I googled the process of converting ACCA to CPA and it was started online that if you are not yet in Canada you should address your application to British Columbia.I sent them my application form via email and got a generic response of 8weeks processing time. I also initiated the process of an upgrade with WES but am yet to pay. Please I will like to know if am on course before making payment for the upgrade and sending my documents to BC. Kindly note that I do not intend to stay in BC, Infact my mind is not made up yet. Your feed back will be much appreciated. Thanks |

jelmusboy:....it affects a lot of industries due to ripple effects. loss their jobs means restricted spending power. People supplying food and accomodation/hotels to workers would loss their jobs, truck/car dealership will have low patronage, home and other construction will slow down, retail sales will reduce, business closing shops hence accountants/financial managers have less business to help audit accounts, etc. All these will also pull down other sectors of the economy. Alberta has a non diversified economy. 2 Likes |
