Dame91:
Good morning everyone,

I hope this meets you well.

Please i need detailed advice on what steps to take.
our PPR recently came (my husband and I) and I am pregnant now (19 weeks). we intend to come to Canada to do short landing first in September. we will be landing in Calgary and by then i'll be 34 weeks. I heard its difficult booking Doctors in Canada, how true is that? plus is it possible for me to book a Doctor/ make appointments while i am still in Nigeria. Basically, i want to know what steps to take while preparing to travel to avoid any hassle. sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your time. Cheers!

Hi everyone, It been a while. I landed in April and it has been a rollercoaster settling down with my family. We have finally settled in Winnipeg.

That role is performed by tellers called customers representatives. They earn around $14-$16/hr. Hence my suggestion earlier on taking a look at Internal control/Audit etc for a boost&better pay

Hi thanks for the notes. If the RM's in Nigerian banks are called Banking Advisors what are those in banking ng operations (cash services, funds transfer etc) called?

hello, please has anyone encountered a situation where the spouse was asked to do further medical examination because of high serum creatinine levels, and after the second examination the level was still high. can anyone say what the outcome will be or possible steps to take. thanks

The applicant will be referred to a consultant nephrologist for further tests and review.
All is well as long the kidneys are not damaged or likely to fail within the next 10 years.

Wishing you all the best and stay strong.

Hello All,

Please who knows anything about "E-Coin Management Company in Ottawa, I got a mail from them saying they saw my resume on indeed and willing to offer me a Remote Customer Representative Role. We got talking since then and now I am to sign an agreement and with something called Regulation of Practice. One thing that shock me was the clauses as shown below:


1. Your operator selects a client for you for the date specified before.
2. You get information about the orders to your e-mail: amount, currency type, payment system, date of transfer of money for purchasing of the specified digital currency.
3. You get information about reception of funds on your account in the payment system specified before – for instance, Interac System, Wire Transfer, Third-Party Payment to another RBC Client.
4. You accept transferred funds for purchasing digital currencies to your account and get cash in the nearest bank office.
5. Final stage – purchase of the specified type of digital currency by means of the self-service terminal.
At each stage, you will be provided by full information support from your operator. Completion of one order usually takes 1.5-2 hours.
During Training, you may complete 2-4 orders per day. Commission per order is 150 CAD.
You can get additional information and instructions from your operator.
***
Following the requirements of the financial organization OPPA Credit Union, our company will provide you with a virtual account in OPPA Credit Union only after a personal meeting with our representative to conclude the Employment Agreement.
While the training, you need to use your personal bank account to fulfill current orders placed by our customers. To start your training, please provide the following information:
Name and address of your bank:
Limit on cash withdrawal in ATM:
Limit on cash withdrawal in the bank branch:
Perhaps to clarify the information regarding your limits, you will have to give a call to your bank.

I checked them online and they have a presence there, but still am a bit uncomfortable with the issue of paying into my personal account first.

Does anyone knows about these guys please.

Thanks

This doesn't look like company that is clean since you are receiving funds into your personal account...it might be some of those na Dem people behind that activity.

If you like the job, just walk into the nearest police station near you, and ask to verify if what you have been asked to do, or the job you want to take up is Legit.


If the Police say it's legit, then go ahead and sign.

In honor of the question that was asked above about job offer, I'm going to explain one of the most common job scams. It's very simple.

You get a job offer or something similar. They send you a cheque for whatever reason. Reason can be for onward transfer, or to set up your home office etc.

You cash the cheque. You receive instructions on how to use it. For instance you can be asked to transfer money back to the company that the sending was in error. Or you're asked you pay into others' account.

You make the transfer ASAP to prove your integrity. The money goes out.

Then you realize that the cheque you cashed is dud and never cleared in the first place.

The scheme comes in many variations. If you do get a check, hold on to it till it clears before doing any transfers out of your account.

Well, I trust that Naija can never carry last.

PS: Identity theft is real. Guard your SIN right after your salvation

It's between 40k -60k,most new advisors get 40k-45k. All are accepted, the idea is find the one that you wants e.g mutual funds etc. Check CSI/CSC Canada site. All these figures is before tax oooo

Unlikely to cause any delay in the assessment as long as medical is passed. The medical reports will still be processed as usual.

The nephrologist report must indicate that "the kidney is unlikely to fail or require dialysis in the next 10 years". That's the deal breaker statement for CIC.
