MissChristine: I'm a foreign trained lawyer in Canada currently challenging the NCA exams (landed Canada through the Express Entry program). What do you need to know about the NCA ? |

cochtrane: The bold is so true. I knew Nigeria was a shithole country when I unsuccessfully tried to open a stock investment account from Nigeria. The years I schemed and waited for an opportunity to invest in US stocks eh?!! sighs Check this link out too if you care... https://www.milliondollarjourney.com/ 9 Likes 14 Shares |

[quote author=Contumely post=74731092 Balderdash Blackgold3 Guitarlife.[/quote] Are you serious?, what did she say to warrant such vulgar response?. From this your write up I can tell you have a very low self esteem. You’re probably one of those guys that can’t stand being rejected by a lady. The funny thing is with this attitude, u’ll always be rejected. Grow up man 5 Likes 1 Share |

wholesomegrace: Hi, it's tough but doable like you have mentioned. I currently have 3 children and my husband is in Nigeria but we all landed together the first time and sorted out our accommodation and bought a car before going back to Nigeria. You might not be able to work some jobs cos of your kids and you will have to sort out day care for your kids. Make sure you have back up money too just in case. You are also entitled to some government benefits but it might not make that much difference. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by vcole: 10:26pm On Jan 13, 2019 |
Hi @blessings2017 not a lawyer but following your posts on the Nca and foreign lawyers pathway As for everyone else who made posts about a profession or location that they have not been able to find any info on, I think it would be a good idea to find out whatever info you can online or on other forums that may not necessarily be Nigerian anyway and then post your info or just your experience thus far trying to get info and then just sharing and brainstorming with other people who would most likely see your posts and chip in. It may help someone else in the future or would help put things in perspective when others chip in. Other professional pathways that seem like they have been discussed in detail were not always like that, as people found info they posted and it just added to the body of knowledge we all share. I am saying this as a suggestion only and it is not intended to offend anyone. That being said, I do know of one quality assurance mgr, first degree microbiology and years of experience in several quality mgt roles in food and beverage industry in Nigeria and getting here was able to get a job as a QA after a couple of months of applying and interviewing. We are not in touch anymore. One way of figuring out what may be required to get a job you want is by reading the skills and qualifications on job ads on indeed or any other site. 12 Likes 1 Share |

voguemum:Hi, I'm not a microbiologist but I worked in this line in Nigeria. Here in Canada you can go into food safety and quality assurance as have mentioned. Food safety is also a big deal over here. You might have to do some courses either a diploma or a professional masters in any college or University of your choice to teach you all you need to know. There are also some ISO certification courses you can do. You can also work in a food laboratory either government or private. There are also opportunities as a food inspector. You will need to do some short courses to teach you what you need to know. There are some government agencies that hire microbiologists along this line. You can do your research and apply with your Nigerian degree and you can get lucky. 16 Likes 5 Shares |

blessings2017: Hi Blessing. Oh I’ve got a lot to ask! I sent a pm request earlier. I’ll like to know more about the following — i. The accompanying documents for an NCA application ii. The complexity of the exam, study materials and the recommended number of courses to take in a sitting for a full time worker iii. If a student visa will be required to write the NCA exams in Canada iv. The meaning of the phrase “articulating” (or something like that) after obtaining a qualifying certificate v. The implication of having a qualifying certificate without being a member of the equivalent of an NBA branch vi. The probability of a qualifying certificate boosting an express entry application vii. The best way for a legal practitioner with less than 5 years practice experience to emigrate viii. The approval chances of an in-house counsel planning to emigrate when compared with a lawyer working with a law firm ix. Which threads are dedicated to foreign trained lawyers in Canada etc It is definitely a lot of information to ask. But hopefully answers to these questions will also help other people in the legal field hoping to emigrate. Looking forward to receiving a feedback from you or anyone with answers to these questions. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Please is there anyone living in Markham or Vaughan here? I want some information on these places. |

To the microbiology guy/lady. You did not mention anything about your work experience. A degree in Microbiology opens doors to a lot of other professions like the ones you listed. Therefore, your work experience plus your qualification will determine the sort of bridging program to apply for. |

But how will the PR status be maintained if he just visits? It means he would have to use up all his leave (assuming a minimum of 30 days vacation per year) which would still not be enough to cover the 2 out of 5 year rule SIRTee15: 2 Likes |
