The only place you can really wear your human hair and full makeup to is Nigerian church, nobody else cares much lol. You cannot spray perfume at most workplaces. Minimalistic makeup and jewelry is the general work culture here. You can sha spend big money on expensive but minimalistic looking stuff sha, brand names and stuff.

Very nice
It is cool to learn as much as you can. Life insurance and Will drafting is important here pls.
If you can pay so much for auto insurance, why not for life insurance which is way more important in my opinion.

This may be one of those instances where putting a call through will be better than what you see on the website, if there's anything on the website at all. The company sent the mail and I shared as received.

All the best.

You are correct. Thing is, most people do not realise the importance of life insurance until death of a breadwinner or caregiver occurs and income is lost and cannot be replaced, dependants are left stranded with an uncertain future which like you said, is way more important than auto insurance.

$1200??


When someone mentions $$ on this thread does it usually means American or Canadian?

When you see $$ in Canadian websites or places does it mean Canadian I guess?

Is there need to always specify which it is? I usually wonder if to convert at CAD or USD rate?

Beating about the bush just to make someone look dumb is way more stressful than a yes/no answer.

Thank you anyway

Good morning all. I newly joined this platform and I will be please if a solution is proffered for my question.

I just started the Canada express entry program. I was asked to upload my proof of name. I have been unable to do so. Everytime I try to upload it, they inform me that i should "please attach atleast one document". Is there something I am doing wrong?

Good day and happy sunday.

Disclaimer- this is not legal advice

I don’t know who this would apply to but pls if you are a domestic abuser- male or female pls just don't bother to come.

If you come and you do the stupid act - you would be brought to book. It is quite pathetic to see how many Nigerian domestic violence issues are occurring amongst newly landed immigrants.

This is not Nigeria. Police will not just drop the charges because the victim said they should. It is a crime against the Crown and it is highly sensitive here- Intimate Partner Violence.

PR does not make you immune from deportation. It has Immigration consequences- criminal inadmissibility may strip you off your PR status and lead to deportation.

I'm sure we all know how tasking this process is. Is it worth landing only to get deported after?

Zero tolerance for violence and abuse from any gender.

Take care
