hayor2014:


Make sure your finish that exam in Nigeria, else CPA will not accept the conversion if you come to write any ACCA paper in canada....

Ifeoma77:

It's just a suggested list, to help you remember some little things that you'd otherwise forget.
The broom is that small one for ewedu and Shea butter is probably for hair/body. It would be expensive to get original raw Shea butter in Canada.
The list can be found here;

Ifeoma77:
@Kay2011, you have had a fantastic year. Congrats on all your milestones.

Debsify:
Hi, your website is good, i'll definately use it when I need to book a flight, but try and secure your website.

behati:

I don't think this information is correct, if it is, then quote your source. This is why it is good for people to research basic stuff for themselves, and when in doubt, contact the authority (CPA in this case).

roblance:
Hello house,

Good evening
I’m inquiring on the Canadian permanent residence or work permit if it’s possible to also get a job that’s work and travel
PS I’m not a graduate I’d need to be enlightened more on this thanks
For instance get an evaluation of my transcript in the university for a work permit

Zutlin:


Thank God for a safe landing.

Please do you speak Dutch (or whatever language the airline staff at Frankfurt spoke)? I was just wondering how you knew that the reason your family was delayed a bit at priority boarding was due to your race - and not some other reason.

1 year stock taking !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I clocked 1 year in Canada today like play like play o and it has been an interesting journey.

I remember writing about how I got my first job with TD Bank 3 weeks after landing in Canada (I think it is in part 1 of this thread). I started as CSR with TD Bank in May 2018. Though, it was not the best paying job but it helped me to pay some of my bills and got me into the financial industry. While I was at it, I was actively looking for something bigger and better.

In July 2018, one of the recruitment agencies got me an interview for another role, aced it and I got a 6 month contract role with another bank. I left TD Bank but I was just getting to like the bank. Before i forget, we had a road trip to Niagara falls in one weekend like that. The kids really enjoyed it the Water Park. I started the new role in August 2018, it was supposed to run till February 2019. That's how I started paying almost $400/month on transportation to work o ( I live in Brampton and travel on the GO Train to Downtown Toronto everyday for work). My weekly overtime hours pay for that.

Met some Naija people in the course of my waka here and we had a small Christmas get together with my new Naija friends. It was a fun. Madam was elated at passing her first turkey baking challenge. Abeg, I am still looking for more Naija people in this neighborhood.

So, one faithful afternoon in the first week in January 2019 like that while I was having my lunch, na so my Manager came to call me that I should see him after my break, I was like "abi contract don end be that? or was I not delivering my deliverable". Anyway, I went to see the guy and he was like they were offering me a conversion of my status from contract to full term employee. I was even doing shakara that I wanted a senior role. Anyway, I sha took the offer.

I am enjoying the job and the stuff I am learning. It's looking upward and cant complain. I feel the need for a part time job, so I started a travel website : http://budgetfaresnow.com/ for flights, hotels and shopping. Abeg make una help a brother. I also have a block of (4nos) 3 bedroom flat for sale in Ikorodu, Lagos. I am hoping to register a business soon in Canada and see how well it goes.

Conclusion:
1. Everybody's story is different
2. It might be important to start small to sort out the bills
3. Last last, everybody will be alright !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She said she heard the other man who intervened say 'its not fair' and subsequently allowed them on the bus or did i read wrong?

That reminds me of one of my trip to South Africa.
I was taking a KLM flight from Johannesburg back to Toronto via Amsterdam.

We were seating in the waiting area to board the aircraft and I realized I was the only black person.
Now, it was time to board the aircraft and we were on the line to hand out boarding pass.

After handing my boarding pass, I was on my way to enter the aircraft. However, there was a white South African agent standing and watching the passengers entering the aircraft.

When he saw me, he wanted to see my passport. Something I didn't see him ask any of the other white travellers before me.

No way, I was upset. I ask him, " Why only me? Why you didn't ask any of the other travellers for their passports?". In my mind this was a clear case of racial profiling. I needed an explanation.

In a very calm and friendly manner, the white man explained to me that all the other travellers have the European Union passport. And he could tell a European Union from a distance. They didn't need a visa to go to Amsterdam. Given that my passport had a different color from everyone else, he wanted to ensure I was authorized to go to Amsterdam.

After showing him my Canadian passport, he said "Thank you for your co-operation and have a safe trip"

It wasn't the color of my skin as I originally thought

Renzel1:
Thanks
for jobs I mean getting an employer for a random job concerning the fact I have no Bsc degree ...possible to talk through pm ?

overcomer296:
Good day seniors and those not yet landed. I greet you all.

I am awaiting PPR, so I decided to come here for information.
I'd like to ask, how do you all get to easily pick the city\province to settle in?

I need advice pls. I have over 10years banking experience in Marketing n customer service. Spouse's Field is community devpt, but ready to take on any legal well paying job

Initially, my fears abt relocating was the weather. So I picked Ontario/GTA to settle. Spouse has a sibling in Saskatoon. She has been advising us to land in Saskatoon ist as she will help rent a place, help with furnishing like mattresses before we even land, employment applications, help take us around in the early days to enable us not spend much. She suggested that we can then move to any province we like.

Is this wise? I've read that Saskatoon is really cold and will it really be easy to just start relocating later on? My son will be 4 by September and was hoping to enrol him in a school in Ontario by then and get working. However, with Saskatoon I guess that will be postponed by a year and I'll have to make do of part time jobs.

What do you guys think? Is it really difficult to settle /integrate if don't know anyone in Ontario/GTA/Canada.

People who were in this situation how did you do it

Sorry for the long post

joo2018:
No p, but I can tell you here clearly that getting arranged job is difficult both legally and logistically.
