My people,

How has it been? A shout out to those that towed the financial analysis path. How has it been learning Advanced excel and some accounting packages? I hope at least one person gained from the knowledge sharing. I know i had also posted on AML role, i hope it helped at least one person.

Then for black female accountant network, i hope we have not only joined the group on linkedin but also on whatsapp as jobs are posted on regular basis in the whatsapp group.

If you are landing in GTA and need a realtor to help you with accommodation, please inbox me and i will give you the number of the person that helped me.

Sorry my PM responses are not as fast as before, my default gmail is my new gmail account. Sometimes i forget i have another gmail to check.

If you are still finding it difficult to integrate, don't worry. We will all be okay las las.

Finally the voting for RBC top 25 is almost coming to an end and i need your support to vote for Jenny Okonkwo (founder of black female accountant network). You can vote for 3 times in a day.

Thank you.

If you’re bent on landing in Ontario, you might want to take on the services of a midwife. They are funded to provide care to all residents of their catchment area, regardless of whether or not they have OHIP.
Midwifery services are covered for uninsured clients and there is funding for consultations and labs, but there are a number of other expenses that uninsured clients may face. Bottom line is - Childbirth in Ontario before eligibility for OHIP isn’t free but you can reduce your cost by using the services of a midwife.
More details here

Please can you give birth before the 3 months wait period using insurance bought from either in Nigeria or Canada?

Thanks. Thats a consideration.

My best advice to you (which one of my friends is adopting), try and land in a province that medical healthcare starts from day 1, say Calgary, then you can subsequently move to another province. If it's Ontario, my dear, nothing like healthcare in the first 3 months.

I don’t know about Nigerian insurance but if you already have private insurance with a Canadian company, simply contact them to verify what they cover. Some Canadian insurance companies don’t cover pregnancy/childbirth related issues while some require you to not be pregnant at the time the insurance coverage is purchased. Specifics would depend on your service provider.

Nice work boss/ma'am you're doing. About the realtor, is s/he immigrant friendly? ie does s/he accept folks who are yet to land a job, haven't credit history, and guarantor? This seems to be the headache for most recently landed immigrants.

Exactly.

Most seem to ask for those or 6 months payment in advance, which i heard is not legal

Hello czaratwork

I don't know how this comes off as but I wanted to ask your thoughts on something. I'm a lawyer and a PR hopeful. I believe I would have submitted my application in August, God willing.

Anytime I see your (and other) posts on financial services opportunities, I always get myself into thinking about opportunities I can pursue in this line and the skills I need to develop. My limitation is my very scanty proficiency in maths and calculations. I'm primarily an advocate in court and from inception quantitative/mathematical skills have not always been my strongest point. But what I lack in this area, I can make up for in grit and determination.

Considering my brief profile, what area of the financial services industry do you think I can venture into and rapidly catch up on?

Note: I'm doing this solely because of relocation and to improve my chances in the employment market. Thank you in advance.

Yeah that's often the case. However it is a risk to rent out your place to someone without those, as eviction is quite an expensive and time gulping process. So a couple of months in advance helps landlords minimize the risk, though 6months alot of money to cough. Hopefully @czaratwork would help with a positive answer.
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by einsteino(m): 4:32pm On May 10, 2019
If you are in Ontario and your background is in Engineering, Planning, Ecology, Geoscience, you should look up PAIE bridging program. It may provide you a chance to get 1 year paid co-op(not guaranteed) which could serve as canadian experience esp for licensing purposes. Deadline for applications is June 28, 2019 but program start date is september. For more info visit https://paietraining.ca/page/paie There would be an info session online and in-person on May 23rd. Best of Luck.

She is a Nigerian and when she handled my case, she tried all her best to make sure i got accomodation, of course she also needs her commission from the landlords.

We have a lot of lawyers in Anti Money Laundering AML role. Look at the job descriptions of AML and see if you can read up materials on their role. I used to have an ebook on their certification. If you certify, you have an edge over others.

Please pm me while i search for it.

i am intending landing in august tho i have had my biometrics done and my application is going on smoothly, but i need to know about teaching jobs in canada bcause i have no plan changing career now cause i wish to know how their edu system work to be one of the best in the world. thank you.
Hi
Teaching is a regulated profession so you might need to have your qualifications and experience assessed by a regulatory body.

Check out:

https://certification.ednet.ns.ca/internationally-educated-teachers

https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/profcert/certificates/iet/certificates.html

About thr jobs? There are jobs but but just like nursing or similar professions you might kick off your career working as a substitute teacher.
