Hi Guys,

I asked this question in the sister thread already but decided to also try here if anyone has successfully been able to respond to an adress like the one below:


"Hi Guys, has anyone been asked to fill a Relationship Questionnaire as an address after adding their spouse to their application post AOR. I got an address from CIC to fill this form and I have some questions about it. They are pretty much straight forward questions asking me if I have given gifts (money, material, other, etc) to my spouse or her family and vice-versa. I am trying to understand the context of CIC and I am just looking for someone to bounce ideas off them? "

Hello everyone, I have been following and reading a lot, though never contributed. Sorry about that. We have gotten our PPR and COPR, and my husband is suggesting we leave in August. Im very grateful to God for this opportunity but I also have my fears. I have a 3 months old baby which means I cant work for I period of time and that is where the fear comes in. I have a very good job here in Nigeria that pays me more than half a million a month. I have never depended solely on my husband to provide everything we needed. I have always worked even when I was in school. I love my family so the option of me going to just land and come back is out of the question because I can never be separated from them ( by the way we have 4 kids).
Pardon me if Im going in circles but the thing is I need advice on what to do while nursing my baby at home.


Your story is similar to mine but unlike you I am looking forward to a break from work, work, work.
You can use the nursing period to do some certifications and upgrade yourself. Or if you are too bored I guess you can do part time work.
But you are the real MVP... 4 children to look after and you are worried about not working.
May Canada favour you

Hello, anyone with any relevant info? thanks

Hello Everyone,

Please I need a "personal" response to this very pressing question,( ie you have , or know someone who has ) as I might have more questions. How does a landed immigrant (ie PR) have a baby in Ontario without having to incur medical expenses if for instances the person lands in the 8th month of pregnancy , this is bearing in mind the 90 days or so waiting period for Ontario's health card.

Urgent responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Congratulations.

If you are actually coming to Canada with the stipulated Amount of money for that size of family in the requirement of Express entry requirement, You have no fears.But you wouldn't be able to work for a while with a 3 months old baby.
You either plan to Jettison the job, use your period of baby sitting to get qualify for a suitable job in Canada while your husband does d hustle.
or You do a soft landing...come in register for PR card, health card,process drivers liecence and return to Nigeria,you can work and keep your baby in Nigeria with family support..but this can only be for a while...and again, the age of other children matters.Good luck in your decision making.

PORT OF ENTRY

You can legally cross the Canadian border at any Port of Entry with your Valid COPR and other documents. Canadian port of entry includes the following:

Port of Entry (Air)– Canadian Airports which are recognised as Port of entry are Vancouver International Airport, Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport and Montréal – Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport.
Port of Entry (Land)– Canadian Land port of entries are Niagara Falls – Rainbow Bridge, Windsor – Ambassador Bridge, Boundary Bay (BC), Chateaugay- Herdman Border (Quebec), Scobey – Coronach Border Crossing (Saskatchewan).
Rail Crossing (Land) – Cross the border with the help of a train at Niagara Falls, Cantic (Quebec), White Rock.
Port of Entry (Water) – Ferry crossings and seaports are considered water port of entry, like Prince Rupert (BC- Ferry), Yarmouth (Nova Scotia -Ferry), Belledune Port (New Brunswick – Sea), Sept- IIes Port (Quebec – Sea) and St. John’s Port (Sea).

What happens when you Enter from Port of Entry?
STEP 1
At the port of entry when you enter, you will find a queue. Queue up in the newly immigrant section as it is different from the regular immigration section at most of the airports. The first thing is to make a declaration in front of a Machine, which will scan your passport and take a picture. Make sure you answer all the questions carefully (ask for assistance if you do not understand anything), declare any money above C$ 10,000.

Step 2
Once you are done with the first step mentioned above, you will have a printed slip, which you have to carry it along with you. You will next provide your documents to CBSA officer and tell him/her, that you are landing as a Permanent Resident and provide your Passport and COPR. The officer will ask some questions and some relevant documents. After the satisfaction of the CBSA officer, the COPR will be filed and stamped with the landing date mentioned on it (it is advised to cross-check the landing date). At this point of time you must provide an address in Canada, where you want your PR card to be delivered. If you do not have an address in Canada contact us.

Step 3
After this, you might be asked to visit the customs officer. At this point, you must carry Two copies of Personal affects accounting document(List of goods and their value accompanying) and a Personal affects accounting document (List of goods and their value which will come later). You might not be asked about these documents, but if you have goods like jewellery and expensive items which will be coming later, you must get these documents signed and stamped.

Step 4
At last, collect your baggage. Sometimes the above process will take 2-3 hours depending on your time and month of arrival, but do not worry. Your baggage is securely removed from the luggage belt and kept next to it.

Note

If you land during working hours, you might see an office of Service Canada. You should apply for your Social Insurance Number (SIN). This saves your settling time. Service Canada is generally located next to the CBSA officers’ section, but it varies from different Port of entries.

Once you are done with all these steps, you are welcome in Canada and you can start settling down.



Calgary is also a point of entry,i landed and entered Canada thru Calgary Airport.

Please do you know if I will need the FRSC letter in Ontario.
I'm in ontario and I got the FRSC letter 3 weeks before leaving Nigeria. I also had my Original drivers license with me . My letter showed I had been driving for 26 months and I was able to take the knowledge and vision test, got my G1 license and had the option of taking a G test which I did. So if you have 24 or more months of driving experience, I suggest you get the FRSC letter.

There is nothing legal about what you intend doing.

People like you have made it difficult for people with genuine intentions to get visas.

Anyway, anything to leave this poo can be pardoned.

Hello e-fam, pls is there any course or program one needs/can run from Nigeria so as to get a sales job, a friend has been a sales man for over 10 years with an MBA from unilag, but wants to confirm if the MBA alone is fine for smooth integration, or their are some other local professional sales bodies (like the accounting peeps) that he needs to become a member.

Congratulations!

I think I understand how it feels and like others have said, use the opportunity to get qualified, but if you really insist, you can search or Google stay at home jobs and determine the number of hours.

I'm not landed yet but I've researched that much and decided to share my findings
