Guitarlife:

I have gotten to learn so much on this thread and Nairaland in General. I just got a job after 2 months of Landing and I have so much to tell people. That would be my own way of giving back to the society, but I plan to deactivate this account, am lost between giving the landing gist with this account that is soon going to be defunct or using the brand new account I am just going to unveil.

To start with, nobody will give you a job on a platter, the offer I got I had 5 interviews for the position. The best way to start in my own opinion is to have an open mind and apply for survival jobs as well as professional job at the same time.

Do not allow your survival job prevent you from attending interview and dont be afraid to take risks . I forwent a decent job offer for the prospect of a better job that I did not have because even the person that interviewed me told me he knew I would get a better offer but if I decide to stay with them I would have to stick with them for a long time.

I rejected the job despite the fact that I did not have any job at that time, but today it was a smart decision. It didn't look so great at the time though.

Lesson 1 : Surround yourself with positive people and those who believe in you.
cool cool cool cool

Did you eventually move out of Calgary?

You need a relative but do not have one. So what is the essence of this post? Are you looking for someone's destiny to destroy for your selfish gain?

Hello People, I'm interested in migrating to Canada with my family.

I have a concern though: I don't have a degree, but I have 10+ years of experience in Web Development.

I need someone to guide me.

Boss, your request is too general to begin with. 'someone' does not exist without a specific line of question.

Which genre of web development do you belong to? Did you study to become one? Do you have any proof to support this, like a certificate or some diploma from some institution that can be verified? Information like this should be supplied for any reasonable input to be given.


What 'info' have you gathered so far?

Have you gone to cic.gc.ca? If not that should be your first stop.

They have every 'info' that partains to every situation. After reading (carefully) and you don't understand, then people here will be able to help you understand the confusing part.

Peace.

Look here: www.nairaland.com/5031893/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled . I think you may be able to do some certifications (e.g BCS postgraduate diploma etc) and evaluate. However, would you be able to prove your work experience (Did you work for a company, did you freelance, do you have a registered company etc)?

Hello everyone, please this is for the account and finance people in the house; I am an accountant and I plan to write CIMA soon(my school has an MoU with CIMA, so I'm only going to write the strategic case study exam). I plan to convert to CPA once I'm done.
I'm thinking of focusing my career in corporate finance, so I will appreciate any tips landed seniors in the house can offer. Anything that will aid job search and landing a job. My plan is to land in Alberta.

Me that has seen -21°?
18° is a huge blessing! My son and I are at the playground in shorts. So yes 18° is warm for me by all standards. The highest we had in months. You'll be fine. Don't worry. I am not sure you hate cold more than me.

I think you should abort mission if your plan is to obtain CPA using the CIMA. You should check the requirement for obtaining CPA with CIMA designation, or better, send an email to CPA to clarify.
