They will.not admit a child that one of the parents are not catholic as you need to prove that and also baptismal card of your child


I know a muslim family that have all their children enrolled in a Catholic school. The law is not written on stones wrt to who attends a Catholic school. It depends on several factors.

Ifeoma77, welcome to Canada. You are really a jaiye jaiye person. With this attitude, you will not be long in the labour market. This is the kind of energy they need here. If you doubt me check their job postings, you will always see fast paced environment mentioned.

Enjoy your vacation and please add July 1 as part of your vacation because no business opens on that day and it will help you see how Canadian enjoy their day. Connect with a community close to you on that day and enjoy their events.

PRESS RELEASE

No: MFA/PR/2019/33

SEIZURE OF UNDECLARED CURRENCIES BY THE ETHIOPIAN CUSTOMS AND REVENUE AUTHORITY

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform all Nigerian travellers that the Ethiopian Customs and Revenue Authority (ECRA) has recently stepped up seizure of foreign currencies and valuables in excess of $3 000 (three thousand US Dollars) from passengers transiting Ethiopia without prior declaration of such valuables.

The rule on the forfeiture of undeclared valuables applies to all passengers travelling to Ethiopia or transiting, including the prosecution of offenders of money laundering in line with Ethiopian Laws.

The Ministry therefore urge all prospective Nigerian travellers to please take note of this development and adhere strictly to avoid undue embarrassment at the airport.

Meanwhile, the Embassy of Nigeria in Addis Ababa is engaging the Ethiopian authorities to secure the release of undeclared monies seized from Nigerians.  

Signed

Any chance I can be added to the WhatsApp
group please? One can never have too much information.

Claire18:
Pre arrival services cannot be over emphasized.
The webinars are so helpful. In fact, I was added to a WhatsApp group, where info is always shared.
Just yesterday, someone was giving out good furniture for free somewhere in Ontario.
Get advice and assistance with resume and cover letter.
Most especially, links and links to research to make the transition easier.

I believe it's about demand and supply. I could not get my kids into one close to my residence in Calgary due to lots of applications from kids that were catholics. When I moved to Sask, it took only a few weeks for them to get back to us that the aplication was succesful since they couldn't fill up the classes. We were interviewed and made to sign some documents about being comfortable for our kids attending masses, the religious symbols and I think the frequent prayers. I felt right at home since the Anglican was carved out of Catholic anyway. Our creeds are very similar. We even have a line that says we believe in the holy catholic church.

No special gist really.

Took the knowledge test as usual, passed and submitted my Nigerian driver's license. Went back after 2 weeks only to be told that my exemption was denied. A letter was given to me telling me that they couldn't authenticate my license and I can either get a letter from my country consulate in Ottawa or from the license issuing authority.

After which I can resubmit for exemption. That simple!

Interesting. I guess you need to request FRSC letter from Abuja or contact Nig HC in Ottawa. Hopefully this is not a new trend.
