1. Weigh your luggage before going to the airport so that excess luggage doesn't come as a surprise.
2. No need to pack so much foodstuff, you can buy them here in African shops.
3. Your COPR, passport and POF document should be in your hand luggage.
4. If possible, select a seat infront inside the plane. This will help you get to the immigration officers on time and avoid the long queue.
5. No pack meat, chicken, fish or milk to avoid stories that touch.
6. Remember to pack all your certificates, relevant documents and Driver's license because DHL from Naija is pretty expensive.
7. If you're a lady, buy lots of undies. 1 bra here is like 6K Naira grin
8. You can pack some biscuits and snacks to munch on inside the plane, some people don't really like the food served onboard
9. Book your Air bnb before you travel, to avoid being stranded.
10. And lastly, have a safe trip!


Thank you so much

Na wa. And they said money does not grow on trees.

Good morning people! Trust we're doing great.
I have some requests:
1. The link to the Ontario group chat on WhatsApp or Telegram
2. Who's in London Ontario, has people there or is headed there... Mans needs info 
3. It's been super difficult getting a temporary accommodation, we land in 3 weeks and even the Airbnb route is quite expensive. The regular apartments I've seen all require some sort of documentation and a referee so I guess we have to be physically there to sort that out. Who knows how I can get temporary accommodation for a family of four for like a week or two weeks tops in London Ontario

I do not know how easy to find someone in London. Most people who head to London upon arrival usually have people on ground there. Any particular reason why you landing there?

Rent is higher in other parts of Ontario (all this is based on my own research oo) and I hear its great for family life due to the laid back feel and of course great schools for the kids. I would welcome any suggestions and tips... It's all a voyage anyways. Help me

Rwnt is higher by what margin? London is a laid back place with limited jobs nd all. Most ppl there still work in the city nd leave there cuz they bougjt a house. All schools in Canada as same..none is better tham the other.

So where do you recommend cos my budget is circa 1300-1500 for 2 bedroom apartments preferably with 2 bathrooms (I've been getting very nice apartments in the London downtown for this price range) and that range seems to be getting me just basement apartments the closer I get to Toronto. I actually need all the help I can get so know I'm extremely grateful that you're even taking your time to respond
