Suspect33: You don't need a Computer science degree or any related degree. What you need is hands-on training in Software development. You can start with the basics: HTML, CSS and Javascript. A while back, @AZeD1 recommended the following free sites and they've been very helpful.. - w3schoolsdotcom - freecodecampdotcom For Javascript, you might want to take a class on Udemy. I currently use one. If you already have knowledge of HTML, CSS and perhaps a bit of Javascript, you can try applying to HackerYou coding bootcamp. They train you for free to be a front-end developer but you pay back when you get a job. I hear getting in is competitive though. - hackeryou.com P.S: @AZeD1 kindly make any necessary corrections/additions to my input. You know say I still be learner. 23 Likes 23 Shares |

Finally! I am an Architect but yet to land. The process ain't easy for us per say. Unless to start as an architect technologist or graduate architect. I have started looking else where as We have soft skills in 2d,3d, and 4d graphics. And comparing them, the salary is also good. What progress have you made so far? Demi007: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Suspect33: As others have said the answer is No. I’ve had coworkers who weren’t STEM graduates . However you’ll have to be very interested and work hard to catch up on stuff you may not know e.g design patterns , software principles and best. practices. It’s important to focus on these when learning to become a developer , knowing programming languages is just one small piece I just want to stress that IMO the biggest factor that will determine success as a software engineer is interest . Because there’ll be problems that might take days to solve and sometimes involve you starting almost from scratch several times . Without genuine interest for the field , this will become a frustrating cycle , on the other hand if you’re passionate , you’ll see each cycle as one step closer to a beautiful solution. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Please help clarify fam. If filling additional forms after adding spouse post COPR, is it okay to continue with my maiden name? E.g additional family information form. NB - I haven't changed my name via newspaper publication yet. Pls at what point is a change of name required or recommended? Pre or post landing? cc @ifeoma77 Ifeoma77: |

Ehimen100:Your question is a bit unclear. You can get a 2 bed apartment in SW or NW calgary from say $800 to over $5000 per month. Much depends on your taste and what type of apartment you are searching for. The area in those quadrant would also determine the cost. Are you searching for a 2bed in an older area or in a posh area? Are you searching for apartment in a newer building or older building? Is it plus utilities or inclusive of utilities? is the apartment fitted with high end materials or cheap finishings? Etc. I would however say you can find something decent for $1200 plus utilities (meaning you will pay for utilities) if you look hard enough. Most times in Canada or most other developed countries, you basically get what you pay for). Keep that in mind. 9 Likes 5 Shares |

Eddy4400:There is no point at which change of name is required. You can live with your maiden name for the rest of your life. When filling the forms, continue with your maiden name. As long as you've not done the change legally, continue to fill your maiden name (actually it's your only name for now) As for recommended, anytime that is most convenient for you would be the recommendation. If you have limited time, then wait till you get to Canada and do the change of name when the time to renew your passport comes around. If you still have lots of time in Nigeria, then do it before leaving but bear in mind that you will need to do a new passport bearing the new name 3 Likes |

Claire18: Yes, that's the cost. I asked someone in Canada to pay for me with his credit card and sent the naira equivalent to his nigerian bank. It was that easy. You can do same. When did you finish your masters? |

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 |

Certificate reads Feb 2015. I have someonr that can pay for me. The fee is equal to 2 months rent....so we have decided to work in a non-regulated profession but closely related, eg 3d visualizer, graphics designer or interior design assistant(me), then save for the certification. Or still, we can replan and do it anyways....I will keep you posted! Good luck on your transcript( Ehimen100: |
