Avoid landing during winter at all costs. Go to a deep freezer and stick your hand in it. Imagine trying to navigate a new country with such a weather. Respect yourself.

Does any one know if we would be able to fly with our old passports containing copr and the new one or we would need to get our copr done again

Who are the people comparing Heaven with hell. The things you pray for in Nigeria has been answered in Canada

- 24 hours constant power supply
- Clean treated water
- Working transport system
- Good Security
- Good infrastructures
- Ability to travel to over 60 countries without embassy issues
- Good health care system. I have visited the hospital thrice and I did not drop a cent for services that would have costed me millions of naira.
- Quality goods and services from reliable brands and not fake ones
- Multiple recreation and leisure centers to visit
- Reliable community centers to assist you with your needs
- Quality Education and accessibility to quality teaching
- Fast reliable internet
- Diverse culture to grow your network

These are a few things people pray for in Nigeria. However, when you get to Canada, these prayer requests are already answered. Is Canada not heaven on earth?

I am not a BA, but in many industries in Canada, experience beats certifications. e.g I have seen so many job seekers with PMP, but with very little or few (less than 5 years) experience in project management. This leaves me wondering how they were able to get certification. My employer won't even look at certifications in BA, PM or IT if you do not have at least 5 to 7 years experience to back it up.

As long as regulations allows an employer to avoid certifications/paper qualifications, then they would go for the person with the most experience.

The reason your friends were advising you to go for a program that has an internship option is because some employers would retain after the training. Getting a foot in the door is very important here. It's the only breakthrough alot of people need to kickstart their career.

Thanks for this write up bro, for those of us who are planning on entrying the project management field in canada with little PM experience, what advice do you have for us. Is there some form of volunteering that one can do to gain the experience or will you suggest we just forget the whole Project management thing and focus on other field? I just recently completed the 35hrs PDU PM training and planing on writing the certification exam as soon as I get to canada. After going through the course, I noticed I haven't even really used the PM tools as defined in the course in my little PM experience

Hello ma'am.....Please i need some info from you about spouse not accompanying as we are also planning to follow this route,can i Send a pm

ITABABE:
are you the principal applicant. If yes then no issues. Your husband can land later before his visa expires or not as it relates to your family situation. Your coprs, goods to follow(if any) and your passports are all you need and then of course the address where your pr cards will be sent to.

Jumdah20:
Hi, I had the same issue and ppr landed just as we passed the 6 months validity. We had to quickly renew passports 2 weeks ago and submitted both old and new.
Don't worry, booklets are always available, you might just have to pay extra if it's an emergency. All the best

I beg to differ on the bolded..

- Some Areas have hard water and you can't even risk drinking it if you like your life. A way around it for people will be through some filter
- You sure have not been to Dr. Flea's market, Chinko full there for cheap prices
- I agree with this but why will I pay $10 to play soccer for 2hrs?
- This is contestable, While I am convinced I did not get as much as I would have loved in Naija. Education and Smartness wise, our foundation is more solid than this system provides for kids. Don't even argue with me, I can relate individually from the perspective of a father that migrated with his family comparing his children's pre and post migration academic standings, the account of a year 1 student that newly just migrated and of course, myself, as a product of both sides of the divides. The only difference is that the society offers technology and resources that can aid research which is left to freewill. In Nigeria, we were 'konked' to learn, is this method the best? It is definitely contestable but I am glad I was 'konked' and it has aided me to be where I am today.

This is me trying not to make Canada seem like heaven.. No space in the world is ideal!

joo2018:

If you are not working with a limited budget, try Toronto. If you are constrained by budget, try towns in the GTA or slightly outside.

Use google maps to identify cities and use to search on Airbnb and booking.com.


PS: posting a google map link in reply to your post got me banned yesterday.

Palominopeaches:


Please what's the best time to land then? When are the favourable months?

salford:

Cost of rent in both the UK and Canada differs based on a lot of conditions most importantly area and state or condition of the building. You can find a condo for rent in downtown Calgary for $5,000 a month and you can still find within some quandrants of the same downtown for $1,000 a month.

Even though this cost of $1000 a month is borderline with partially government subsidized housing in a city like Calgary, you might still be able to find one for that amount, furnished and utilities included if you search well. It might just be in an older building.

You will need to be careful though because some apartments in older buildings are cheap for a good reason (bedbugs, cockroaches and the likes may be present). Shine your eyes well.

If you are single, you might find it alot easier to rent in a high quality shared apartment.

education in NIGERIA is USELESS

There is no pride whatsoever in suffering

I regret every day I spent in a Nigerian school, from my pre school to my masters degree.

And my children will not SPEND A DAY in that use less system, from a use less country


But we see things differently tho
So.....

SIRTee15:


It's certain u are oblivious of the irreparable damage our abstract learning method has done to the Nigerian graduate and the society at large...
For u to be comparing rote learning with conceptual learning...
Tanitoluwa adewunmi will definitely disagree with u, even though he's had a taste of both divides.....
If u don't know him, pls Google.....
And pls, an average Nigerian isn't smart.....he's just dubious, cunning, detest paying attention to detail, and always find ways to circumvent process.....
If an average Nigerian is actually smart, that country wouldn't be in that deplorable condition...
And possibly, this thread may not have existed at all...

Newbeecey:
Thanks. I was actually asking cos I know there are some requirements around one spouse travelling with the kids and getting some kind of authorization from the other parent. I dont know how it applies in practise especially going into Canada
