Are you in need of a place to quarantine in *Calgary* when you land for just 2 weeks? If yes, Living Christ Evangelical Mission has a solution to this. Mail Pastor Jumoke via jumokeolatunde@yahoo.co.uk to book your stay in advance *for free* 10 Likes 6 Shares |

Hi 19CannyMum, I can see you're in Alberta, please can I reach out to you? I'm new on nairaland and I don't know how to send private messages. Is there an email address I can reach you on, please? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much. 19CannyMum: |

Paccus:No one has said you have to abandon your convictions. There are lots of conservatives in Canada, some are even on the far right. They won the popular vote in the last election. However, in most cases, what Canada calls conservatism is different from what you may expect. Whatever your views are, you're expected to get along with others just fine. In the workplace, school etc, it is best to keep your views to yourself. Generally speaking, politics, religion, sexuality etc are not topics you want to bring up in the workplace here. 10 Likes |

einsteino: Remember I was speaking about Alberta, where living is affordable To the best of my knowledge, all the govt owned colleges in Calgary (at least BVC, SAIT, MRU and UC.) include subsidized bus pass in their fees. Maybe other Alberta cities don't sha. 3 Likes |

Fortissimo502: Oh maybe I should specifically say Toronto. University of Toronto, Ryerson University and York University do not have student pass in their fees. I think Seneca college and Humber College also do not have. Sheridan college(Brampton) had one but it seems it got scrapped when student choice initiative came to be. Nonetheless, students are able to get discounted passes using their school ids but they have to pay out of pocket for it. |

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2020/08/new-temporary-public-policy-will-allow-visitors-to-apply-for-a-work-permit-without-having-to-leave-canada.html August 24, 2020—Ottawa—Visitors who are currently in Canada and have a valid job offer will be able to apply for an employer-specific work permit and, if approved, receive the permit without having to leave the country, thanks to a new public policy announced today by the Honourable Marco E.L. Mendicino, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship. This temporary policy change takes effect immediately and will benefit employers in Canada who continue to face difficulties finding the workers they need, as well as temporary residents who would like to contribute their labour and skills to Canada’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, temporary residents who remained in Canada were encouraged to maintain valid legal status. With air travel limited around the world, some visitors to Canada have been unable to leave, while some foreign workers had to change their status to visitor because their work permit was expiring and they didn’t have a job offer to be able to apply for a new work permit. Some employers in Canada have also faced ongoing labour and skills shortages throughout this period, including those who provide important goods and services that Canadians rely on. To be eligible, an applicant looking to benefit from this temporary public policy must have valid status in Canada as a visitor on August 24, 2020 and remain in Canada have a job offer submit an application for an employer-specific work permit that is supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer of employment, no later than March 31, 2021 meet all other standard admissibility criteria This temporary public policy also provides the opportunity for applicants who meet these criteria and who had a valid work permit in the past 12 months to begin working for their new employer before their work permit application has been fully approved. To do so, they need to follow the instructions for the process described here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/permit/temporary/after-apply-next-steps.html#visitors |

Please to the men, for those of you that came in with their personal hair clippers from naija, how did you guys get to use it here cause the voltage here seems to be too low to power my clipper? Thanks |

nochyks87:We got this from naija while planning our trip last year and has so far proved very useful. It was a tip from someone here, maybe Einsteino, can't remember. Hubby uses it with his naija bought clipper for all of us, lol. I've had to go on low cut too with the boys; my wigs have come in handy though. It's called a step down/ step up transformer and has really come in handy as I hear grooming can be quite pricey. However, this may be more useful for those yet to land; since you're here already you'd have to go with ednut's suggestion and probably get a new clipper. 18 Likes 12 Shares
