LANDING GIST- very short read!!!

I am hoping I can remember details as it was all so fuzzy…please bear with the shortness of the gist *lol*

Landed/PR: March 28, 2019

When I got PPR, I thought the troubles were over and I could finally rest in peace. For where? Na there the real job start. We had to sell things (why do people expect you to start dashing them things just because you are travelling?), searched and searched online till we got the cheapest flight on Ethopian Airlines, had talks with my HR and Line Manager at work to know the best time to resign, went round having last funs with friends and family, packing ( please start as soon as you can, to pack no be beans- many decision s to make on what to leave/take along especially for women)….anyhow, the day finally came and we were ready to go.

We left Ibadan a week earlier and moved to spend the finally week with family so we left for Lagos from Abeokuta. We considered the routes to take and chose to use the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way to boycott traffic…worst decision ever. We spent hours stuck in traffic and anxiety set in when we had just two hours left to take off time. Friends and family at the airport kept calling, everything turned rough and I even got the car bashed.

Finally, we got to the airport and was fortunate to have someone waiting for us who works there. We quickly went to customs who immediately seized our Igbo Palm-oil because the person who held cash didn’t enter the airport on time (Nigerians and bribe sha). We also had to pay 3k for the two bags of food we had. I could have followed the talks on Nairaland on avoiding paying at all at MMIA but we were so late and I just wanted to get on that flight. We had favour during baggage check-in, our all our bags were overweight and I expected to pay but maybe because of the person we knew or because we were already late, we were just hurried along to board.

Going through the other checks was a breeze and I didn’t pay a dime. By the way, I checked-in online/printed boarding passes the previous day so that saved a lot of time too. I forgot to print out the boarding pass for Lagos to Addis Ababa but the attendant was nice enough to print another copy for me.

Flight was uneventful- bland food, I ate the bread and butter almost throughout, even ice cream was crap! Inflight entertainment was great, attendants not so nice. A Nairalander and family sat just behind us with two lovely kids. Wasn’t so cool to have to claim our bags and then recheck-in for the flight from YYZ to YYC though. I don’t think I would be flying Air Canada so soon, stingy people. Everything na for sale from food to Wifi to earpiece! The airport in Toronto is beautiful, that of Calgary is even more beautiful.

Okay, so we had to do landing procedures at entry port which was Toronto for us. Immigration was a breeze, asked if we had milk or meat product…nobody checked. CBSA next, I got to the counter and the only three question were if family size had increased, if we had ever been involved in a crime and if we were coming in with above 10k dollars…we were not asked anything on POF. We did landing procedure with four other Nigerian families and it was same process. We couldn’t wait to do SIN as were were running late and didn’t want to reschedule our flight, hosts were already waiting. Flight to Calgary was filled with turbulence.

Our hosts are the nicest people in earth. Hot Poundo and ego riro to welcome us, Fried rice this morning…already using their network to connect us for jobs. May God bless them real good.

SIN, Health card, sim card, account opening lines up for today. Cold is minimal…I love the peace and quietness here. Alberta, please favour us in Jesus name.


PS: I need a job as soon as possible. I studied Mechanical Engineering and have experience in FMCG operations. Please help out if you can

Lets take for example, someone's brake fails while driving on a snowing day, unfortunately, while trying to stop behind the cops car at the red light, the individual rams into it. what becomes the faith of the individual as regards his drivers' license and repairs/insurance?

Hello everyone. I
am landing in Calgary around end of May. Currently doing research on schools for kids especially after school care. I know there are proper out of school care centres then there are day homes.
Can anyone advise on the advantages of each? What do working parents do with their kids after school is done for the day?

nadina:


Hello Nkigirl Girl,

Welcome to Calgary. I work full time with 3 kids, 6, 4 and 2. My 6 year old is in Grade 1 and attends school 8:20am to 3:20pm. My 4 year old is in pre-kindergarten, attends school 8:40am to 11:40am. My 2 year old hasn't started school.

I registered 3 of them at a day home close to my house. In the morning, I drop 3 of them at the dayhome, the lady at the day home does school runs for me and my 2 year old son stays with her. When I close from work, I pick them up and we all come home.


I hope this helps�

Hello Nkigirl Girl,

Welcome to Calgary. I work full time with 3 kids, 6, 4 and 2.
I hope this helps�

maternal:

Thank you so much.please do you have an idea of any province offering that.

Research if the province you'll be landing in will give you health insurance right away. If Not, and your wife will be delivering around the time you won't have insurance, you'll have to pay out of pocket. These are your only options really.

I chose a dayhome because the kids are fewer, less transfer of germs�. They feel more at home, they sleep when they return from school and the lady has a personalized relationship with all kids.
I hope this helps�
