I take God beg una Ohh
Thanks

Lol, I think we have all asked for this but I am not sure one exists as no one has ever responded as far as I know.

Maybe one of us will start one ourselves just that we are all newbies so not sure how useful we will be to each other

Hi folks,

Please what's the state of the job market right now? Is it advisable to:

- move as soon as lockdown is lifted?

Or

- wait it out and hope things improve.

Will the certificate be enough for me to kickstart something in the health line once I reach Canada? I mean like get a job, I can add one more certificate if need be.
Thank you guys

After the terribly high number of deaths, the Quebec government is looking to hire and train (Paid training for that matter) up 1000 care givers for it's Old people's home (also known here as CHSLD). It has a good pay but the only problem is that it's currently locked only for citizens. There is currently a push to remove the restrictions. Pay close attention and see if you can try your luck!

Thanks for the response

Hi boss,

Oya oh @Everygirl I nominate you start one. I go follow market the group oh . Rome was not built in a day. I'm certain our Calgary elders will have mercy and join the group.

Please a friend would like to apply for Nursing in Ontario but the admission requirements are a minimum of 70% in English, Maths, Chemistry and Biology. For WAEC, she got a D in Chemistry so she certainly does not meet the requirements.

Her questions are:
**Does she need to get an OSSD certificate ( which would include English, Maths, Biology and Chemistry) in order to apply for Nursing?
Or
She can just go to an adult learning center and take only English, Maths, Biology and Chemistry exams - without actually getting an OSSD certificate?

**Also, there's the mature student entry route. This requires her to take a paid assessment exam (in English, Maths, Biology and Chemistry) for all the schools she applies to. Please does any one have an idea how challenging these assessment tests are?

Thanks.

I never thought I could ever see downtown Toronto this empty. Now that I think about it, I havent been downtown since the lockdown.

There are multiple WhatsApp groups in Calgary and at least one telegram group. Just that they're apparently always full (WhatsApp at least), and it seems you need to be well connected to get a slot when there's space.

By the time you'll be connected enough to get a slot in a group, you probably go don know road finish for Calgary no go need WhatsApp group again. Or you'd have joined other groups (church, kparakpor, bridging program etc) that are more relevant to your specific needs.

No need to get the ossd. She just needs the prerequisites. Also, if online learning is her thing, she can do it through the Independent Learning Center. That's how I did my prerequisites. $40/course and you have 10 months to finish. Self paced so you can still go to work and do other things.

About the mature entry route: is she sure it's for nursing admissions or like a prehealth pathway where she does 1 year then transfers to nursing IF she gets good grades? If it's the latter, I wouldn't advise that. Too dicey, too restrictive.

Feel free to connect if you need more detailed information.

If the certificate is to work in Canada, then a Canadian certification will be better. But if its to gain points for express entry, then a US certification is ok.

Hmm omo. I don't want to discourage you. But okay, let me start by asking you what your profile is. Are you looking for any job in the health line? Or it has to be public health? What research have you done into your intended career change? Also since it's a career change you want, your profile may not be relevant but let's see...

Contrary to popular belief, you don't just waltz into Canada and have jobs presented to you just because you want the job or you think you're qualified or deserve the job. You have to be very strategic. You need to know what employers want and become who they want.

If you're just looking for any short certificate to do, to land you any job in healthcare, then get here first and do one of these 5 months to 1 year courses in psw, etc. However, there's no short cut into public health. You'd typically need at least a bachelors degree and some relevant work experience or a masters degree.

What's your background in? Public health jobs are highly competitive because the Canadian trained/licensed Drs and Nurses who are tired of in-patient care all want a piece of it and are usually the most suitable candidates for most of the roles. If there are still any positions left, there comes the Canadian trained Public Health professionals and Epidemiologists scrambling for them. What about immigrant health care professionals (Physicians, Dentists, Optometrists, Pharmacists, Nurses etc) who make MPH (Masters in Public Health) their last resort when they either do not want to pursue their licensing or just want a career change?

PH is pretty saturated with not so many jobs and having an expensive certificate from the US won't put you at any advantage. I'm not saying it's impossible cos their are always exceptions in every case. I'm saying you should weigh your options and make sure this is what you really want before you make such a huge investment.

If you just want something to kickstart a career in healthcare, then there's no need for that investment. Come into Canada and do a few weeks training for PSW, get a job and then work your way up. Good luck.

House, I have a room available in a 2 bedroom detached @ etobicoke and Mississauga (available-July 1st) for a lady or a single mother, mail-fashoga247@yahoo.com. Thanks

What's PSW??

On this thread, we had extensive discussions about the CERB a few weeks/months ago. For anyone that received the CERB, it might be a good idea for that person to ensure that he or she actually qualified for it. The Government is now settling back to business.

PSW Personal Support Worker or HCA health Care Aid.

Yeah the enforcement will likely come after taxes have been filed next year so if someone received it while being unqualified, the best bet is to payback before December 31 as earlier advised (so no T4 is generated for it).

It's so funny how even the government can suddenly do an about-face. At first they were so docile about the whole thing. Although the NDP won't support it, I'm sure the conservatives would jump on it. I remember seeing Scheer giving Trudeau a hard time about being too liberal with the money.
