I think this would depend on where you currently live in BC. I don't think the cost of housing in Ontario would be much less compared to BC, if at all any different. Buying a house outside the GTA is only affordable when you compare it to Toronto. Anyways, who knows? maybe you would hit gold here. You may send me a pm if you'd like to join a group of people living in Ontario(non-professional).

Hello. Which carrier is bringing you to Canada? Hope it is a reliable one to avoid my kind of experience.

You can book a connecting flight from Toronto to your destination. When we arrived 3 weeks ago, we took Air Canada from Toronto to Calgary. We had to wear our masks. All travelers do. Do a google search on arriving Canada, there is an online form you have to fill. Or you can download the ArriveCAN app and fill out your travel information and quarantine plan there. You have to do this 48 hours before your trip. We were given the same form on the plane when we landed. They will ask for it before you leave the airport.

You needed to be able to provide the details: address/accommodation, phone number, how to get groceries, etc. It is one of the conditions as you are not encouraged to have physical contact with ANYONE while you are on quarantine. We had our friends help us rent an apartment before we arrived. They helped us find a place, then we signed the lease electronically and made advance payment. Our friends would also shop for us and leave it by the door, we have not even seen them till now, even though our quarantine is over, lol. You are going to receive calls everyday from Alberta Health (I think) to ensure you are abiding by the rules. They will ask you questions like: if you live with someone who did not travel with you, do you have visitors, do you have a balcony where you can get fresh air, how you get your groceries etc.

The whole aim is to minimize the spread of the virus. You also have to monitor the news. After we arrived, there was news about flights that landed in Canada that had covid-19 cases. Thankfully ours was not one of them. (Link: https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/another-group-of-international-flights-land-in-canada-with-covid-19-patients-1.5067157)

Boost your immunity by taking Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc. I did this for the whole family. Then use your hand sanitizer often, use disinfecting wipes where you need to and always, always wear your mask. I brought more than one set of mask for the family, thankfully we needed it because out 24 hour journey turned to almost 48 hours.

Safe journey. You can ask me more questions here if you need to.

Hello, please I have replied.

Which schools did you consider? I attend a school in Toronto and we do not have. There are also at least 3 other schools in toronto and one in Brampton that I know that do not have. So, I am really curious to learn the schools that you considered and confirmed that has.

titiclassy:
Wait.. Let me be sure that we are referring to the samething, :

I am talking of discounted transport ticket purchase. If this is it then I am very very sure Sheridan, Humber, Seneca, Centennial has.

If this is different from subsidized bus passed, then pls ignore my comments

Do you mean the TTC discount for post secondary students? Where they pay $120 for monthly pass instead of $150?

There are schools outside of the GTA/Ontario that offer FREE transportation for post secondary students.

I am sorry, I guess I didn't do a good job at making a distinction between the two. Discounted student passes are not the same as school bus passes. To get an "Adult" student discount, all you need is to be enrolled in a post secondary education recognized by your city's transit commission. This pass is paid for out of pocket by you to the transit commission(not covered for by Tuition). It is not issued by the school and the school is not involved in the application/administration. To get it, every year you'd have to take your school photo id to the transit commission to be registered for a discounted pass. In Toronto, after you are approved by Toronto Transit Commission(TTC), you have to top up your presto card every month with a TTC student pass. The school I currently attend in Toronto and the schools you made mention of do not issue student bus passes. So in Toronto we basically get a $30 TTC student discount that brings the cost down to $120 per month or $1440 per year.

On the other hand, schools outside the GTA traditionally offer "free" school bus pass to their students. To put things to perspective, when I was in University of Western Ontario, we got a free bus pass. The pass is issued by the University, you don't top it up. The way it worked was that the Student Council had a collective agreement with London Transit commission(LTC). All students get charged a fraction for this bus pass in their mandatory tuition fees. It didn't matter if you needed it or had a car, the charge is compulsory. Checking my previous Western tuition breakdown, the charge was about $263 per year. If Western had left students to their fate like many schools in the GTA do, Western students would have had to use the LTC adult student discount option instead. This way, Western students would have had to pay $83per month, which comes to about $989 per year.

So you see that a discounted student pass is not the same as a school bus pass.

Hello House,
Please I want to ask if there is any student or graduate here that came into canada for an 1 year PGD program and was able to finish his/her PR process during the 1 year post study work permit. I'm just really curious and bothered.

Socket is even different? Wow.. Pls kindly post the socket type generally used, so it'll guide the purchase of the step down socket earlier posted.
Thanks

NaijaCanadian28:

Hello, my friend did. She had all the requirements already. She applied for her PR before she graduated and got it before she graduated. She didn’t have to apply for PGWP. Know your options and understand your situation so you won’t get frustrated. You can also consider schools in provinces with flexible nominee programs for international students.

Thank you for this, your friend must be so lucky

Good day all. Please I need some suggestions. Planning our relocation for next March/April. I have a 2016 Toyota Prius with very good mileage. I know most people will sell their cars and buy a new one when they relocate. But I can’t get good value for this car because you know Naija now - if it’s not a “Jeep” it’s not a car.

If I am to buy this car in Canada it should be costing like 15k. I am seriously thinking of carrying this vehicle along. Is there any way this can make sense? Has anyone imported a vehicle into Canada and what are the costs? (Clearing, registering etc.

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
