That's why it's called New Found Land.... Welcome home

salford:

I would be suprised if there are not Nigerians there especially physicians. On wikipedia, it's a decently sized city as per Canadian standards.

Accountants and finance professionals, please ensure you learn advanced excel before coming in. I mean pivot tables, recording macros, VBA, vlookup, sumifs etc. It will help you in your job hunt. You can spice it up by learning powerpoint too as you can be called to do presentations at short notice. You can also visit indeed.ca to have an idea of the requirements for the career you want to pursue.

Also consider financial analyst role as you can never get it wrong with this role. If you type in financial analyst role in GTA in indeed, you will see that job berekete here. The question is Do you have the skills? All you need is experience in advanced excel where you use the tools to perform variance analysis (actual vs budgeted) with pivot charts, budgeting, monthend activities and presentation skills. You may also need experience in an ERP like SAP, ORACLE, JEDWARDS and co. I tell you they are ready to waive that Canadian experience if you have the skills. I have seen it happen for people.

There are so many free tutorials on excel and powerpoint on youtube and these videos come with materials you can practice with. udemy.com also has very cheap training on financial analysis. Some banks in Naija call this role performance management. We have performed most of these roles but with different titles/names.

Some keywords you can add to your resume are balanced scorecards, flash reports (just before month end variance analysis) and dashboard (after month end variance analysis) Monthly business review (MBR) process improvement and automation (excel helps you do both)etc.

Prepare very well before coming here and you will not waste time in the labour market.

Ok bye.

About 40,000

Bracha:
Ahn Ahn! 40 gini? Maka why na? School not stadium o. It'd be between 4k-6k students.

jmnsimone:
It should actually be close to 40k

When I did my matriculation in OAU, we were 5k+ getting matriculated. Multiply that by 4, add extra years, 5-year students, 6-year students, masters and Ph.D. students, diploma students etc. And Benin is a bigger city than Ife so it'll probably have more students.

Mcslize:


Hehehehe far from that. 4k to 6k is just one faculty. Only faculty of engineering hold 5000 students. We haven't mentioned faculty of education that comprises different departments. Each department having students from all levels 100 level to 400 levels.

Aiming high or far reaching?
Someone talked about avoiding Nigerians due to the negativity and limited way of thinking, I can't blame the person, cause I have few examples of 2 people around me who were advised not to embark on what they wanted to do cause it wasn't possible. Yet, a lot of people have been able to climb high from advise they got from their fellow Nigerians. What I've come to realise is people give advise based on their mind conditioning, knowledge and exposure. The people you seek advise from can make or break you. The annoying thing is when some see you were able to achieve your feat, instead of them to ask for lessons to broaden their exposure, they make disgusting disparaging comments which forces you to write them off.
Go out there, meet more people (never limit yourself to your country people) learn more on how to improve your situation, when you're at a better place, you can also advise people on the steps you took.

Inferiority complex, racism

I remember booking my first airbnb, and the people canceled on finding out I was a Nigerian. As a black person, with some kind of treatment you receive, you'll always perceive this undertone of racism even though it's not the case. Changing apartment and having to sell some items, when prospective buyers come to check the items and see you're a black person 'bele don spoil' for them and they'll give one stupid reason for not buying. Saw one Syrian refugee woman stop her kids from playing with a black kid (innocent kids ooo). Is it the white person who was supposed to do a manual job, on arriving and seeing he would be working for a black person changed his mind..lol Then you see the Caucasians and Negroes complaining about how uncomfortable they are with Syrians and Indians speaking their own language in place of work. My own is if you're not first nation, we're all immigrants. I went through a comment section in YouTube were some European and Chinese immigrants were arguing whose ancestor developed Canada. You carry face like shit, I do my own shit face too, nobody is superior to me, when even in Nigeria tribalism takes a stronghold, we're all in this together.
Here I've realized you have to apply some kind of sense "not written in the books" in relating with people and getting what you want. Before I forget, that backstabbing and smiling with you at work place....that shii is something else. Well, I've learnt a lot and still learning.
One question: why do people not disclose their salary?

Bracha:
Ahn Ahn! 40 gini? Maka why na? School not stadium o. It'd be between 4k-6k students.
