The pastor and everyone we met were so accommodating. They prayed for us and welcomed us to Canada.
The second week saw us begin our house search. This part of my landing gist will require its own section because it is really a story for another day

Growing up, we ate it with soup or 'garri kulikuli' (ground kulikuli).

Lemme come and be going before nostalgia starts.


voguemum:


Yes, it is exactly what you just described. It is mostly sold around Barnawa and most parts of Kaduna, I'd say its very common in the North though I've come across some sellers in Lagos too but mostly where Hausas are populated. I remember as kids we use to dip tge waina/masa in sugar then eat as snacks, it tastes even better. grin

There are alot of recipes and pictures of it on Google so you can check and confirm if its the same as what you had as a kid.

It can be very tough getting admissions to a medical degree program in Canada.

I hear people say one would need a high CGPA (Msc or higher better), (Teaching Assistance, volunteerism, researches, publishing) experience, high MCAT scores, application essays, good reference letters, excellent interview skills and ultimately lots of luck.

Your best bet might be to google Canadian medical aspirants forums to update yourself with ways of going about it, the acceptance rate and level of difficulty.

Those of us in Ontario, the time to enjoy the OSAP loan is now especially the part of it that you don't have to repay. By next year, a lot will change. I hear people are rushing to enjoy it while it lasts.

If you have the intention to go to school, delay no further as we don't know what OSAP will look like next year.

Please anyone well informed should enlighten us on changes in OSAP loan.
