Lol.

The cold snaps happen periodically in most parts of Canada apart from some places in BC.

Ottawa earlier today was colder than Moscow and Ulan Bator. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/coldest-capital-city-in-world-1.4985296

Hi guys, any experiences dealing with Naija immigration/custome with respect to money you are travelling with ?

I understand this people sometimes can be frustrating all in a bid to make you bribe them or something.

If I am travelling with less than 10,000USD which is the legally allowed limit for an adult in Nigeria how can I deal with Nigerian customs and immigration if asked how much am travelling with ?

Thanks.

Include all documents proving your ownership of the said land, sale agreement or deed of assignment, receipt etc showing transfer of tittle to the new owner ,any instrument that was used to pay you/if it was a bank transfer, include bank statement showing transfer.Basically in your LOE give a detailed account of all transactions pertaining to the land.

Declare what you have just in case they decide to count it. Lying about it would make you stay longer at the airport with them if they decide to count the money. No be by force to give them bribe. I have never given and will not start tomorrow. Be polite and nicely tell them,you don't have any cash to spare right now. Smile your way through. Some of them are just parasites.

I once asked them for their POS to pay the money since it s going into the government account, the man said , " Madam,please carry your wahala dey go". I thanked him and left to board my flight.

wellinjay891:
Oh, none of everyone here has gone through POF documentation before? my bad. lol

kashamadupe0906:


not that, just gave a link of thread where people with similar situation belongs too more at d moment.

not that u won't get answer here.

I left London Gatwick on Wednesday 16th Jan enroute Edmonton via Calgary. I booked WestJet flight (Mistake) for this trip. The ticket i booked doesnt have baggage allowance so i paid extra $80 for 2 bags. Even though this was a soft landing, i wanted to use the opportunity to drop off some of our stuffs in Canada. The 9hrs aircraft from London have no screen for entertainment. The airline asked us to download WestJet app from play store. This app allows you to connect to the internet while on board but if you dont have a tablet you will have to deal with small phone screen to watch movies. Everything on the flight is either for sale or for rent including food and tablets for movies. Asides the 'stingyness', the flight was relatively smooth.
We landed Calgary airport where they seperated men from boys. The queue for non Canadian passports was short, so i didnt spend up to 15mins on the queue. I was then directed to where new immigrants are to be attended to. Short queue as well. When it got to my turn, the officer asked for my COPR and immediately he asked, where are the rest of the family, i said they will join later because i cant pull the kids out of school just yet. Then he access my profile on system and smiled... YOU FINALLY MADE IT TO CANADA ! He said... making reference to my multiple rejected visa applications since 2010. I told him, i bless God for that. It wasn't easy trying to apply for study permit, business visa and visit visas but all being rejected.
While i was answering, he had already taken the stamp but i stopped him. I requested to change my passport photo to a more recent one. The reason is the one i have will be 6 months in Feb and i dont want PR card delayed. He obliged, changed the passport, stamped the COPR and then the magic word followed. YOU ARE NOW A PERMANENT RESIDENT OF CANADA! CONGRATULATIONS.
I smiled with a huge sigh... Thank You, i replied. He then proceeded to tell me my rights in Canada... i no even listen again, just give me this COPR make i go collect fresh air.
Meanwhile, as soon as we landed and i connected to wifi, i got an email requesting for phone interview, so i replied asking for the interview to be conducted by 4pm. So while the guy was reciting the rights, i am also thinking about the interview. It was 14mins before 4pm already.
My connecting flight was for 9pm. (Another Mistake). I thought i would be able to join the next available flight to Edmonton if i finish early but i was told that since my baggage was checked in to my final destination, i wont be able to reschedule my flight. So na to chill for 5 more hrs. Anyway, i am already a PR na, so nothing dey sele. Na we we get this Country now.
By the time the flight to Edmonton was ready, i was extremely tired and slept off immediately i boarded so no idea if the flight was smooth or not. I sha landed safely. Again no screen for entertainment! Who cares.
Did i mention that there was no Service Canada at Calgary Airport. So i moved the SIN registration to the next day. My host is just too much. Baba took the next day off. Drove me to Service Canada for SIN registration, took me to Registry for Health card registration, took me to bank to open account with Scotia Bank(i got credit card of $3000 limit because i was depositing some cash immediately) and also drove me to a scheduled job interview, waited for me to finish and we headed back home. At about 5pm next, i said i want to take 30mins nap, only for me to wake up at about 1am! Body no be firewood.
So i spent the next 2 days sorting out some stuffs and making ground work for final arrival. TGIF wasnt bad sha.
Left Edmonton on Saturday while Arsenal was busy beating my Chelsea team (God dey o). Landed at Toronto (4hrs from Edmonton) this time and joined the next flight to London Gatwick. Again same old story as the first... food was also for sale except biscuits. I just slept! No time to waste time again.
Bye Bye Canada for now... i will be back with FULL FORCE TO POSSES MY POSSESSIONS!
Brethren, Canada is COLD oooo... The coldness no get part 2.
Some of the main reasons of doing a short landing first was to come and see the place oo. You know sometimes pictures can be deceptive. I dont want to be expecting Ikoyi only to land in Ajegunle Apapa. Also i have some jobs interview scheduled before i left London. Also my bro needs 15points, so coming early to get the necessary documents is important.

Good morning all.
By the special grace of God, I'll soon be a legitimate member of this group.

I discovered that it takes about 7- 12 months to formalize APEGA registration and get your PE designation.

My question is, which engineering license should one apply for with APEGA - EIT or PEng as a new immigrants.
Which of these license has a higher prospect of landing a job as a new immigrants.

Can any engineer please share his/her experience praticing in Alberta.
