JoshOxborn:


There are threads for seeking Travel information and knowledge for different types of country including Canada. This is for immigrants to write Journals about their stay in Canada and some insight information about Canada, The fundamental objective, ideal and purpose of this thread has been curbed, thwarted and deterred. I can't recall and think to back to the last time pictures and adventures was shared on this thread. I'm not a hater or someone that loathes or despises the improvement of this thread but y'all should not make this place a section of Q&A only. if we don't have money to travel now, we should at least see life in Canada through you people's eyes.

I agree with you. However, you should know people are busy trying to settle down. A better approach would be asking specific questions of interest. I believe the members here would gladly respond and it also assist to narrow down to specific interests.

Good morning guys, please I need you guys contribution on this: I’m an immigrant in the uk ( spousa visa ). My visa is valid for 2 years. But I want to relocate to Canada. I saw the Atlantic immigration pilot program. Can I apply for that from UK and go to Canada to work? Or is there any other way I can leave uk for Canada without hassle of going back to Nigeria. I’d appreciate information that can help me. Thanks y’all.

Truth is, some, if not many, people are doing this by faith. We do not have it all figured out as per financials. Yet, we are moving ahead and trusting God to meet our needs and provide. You can do same too, if you believe in God. Even if you do not, where there's a will there can always be a way.

Cheers.
Thank God who honours the faith of his children. Landed safely with my wife in Calgary on 3rd September. Glory be to God.

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by einsteino(m): 1:12am On Sep 07, 2020

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.

Truth is 1 year is really short. I know of two people who did not get PR before their PGWP ran out. One has had to go back for another diploma just to hang around legitimately. If you feel it is dicey, upon graduation you may choose to immediately do a second diploma or go for a masters so that you qualify for 3years PGWP. This would give you enough time to find a good job with which you can then apply for PR.

However, depending on your CRS score, you may not even need to wait to graduate before you apply for a PR. Some people may already have the necessary points for express entry or may receive PNP from the province they are schooling in. If you are not that person, then maybe the Canadian degree may give you sufficient additional points to apply for a PR immediately after graduating. If your score is far behind, then you would need to get some Canadian work experience in the required NOC's through the PGWP.

It really does help if your school is in a province that is likely to offer PNP to students.

The same thread that people have gotten so much info before relocating and those of us here are still learning everyday from.

Okay o.

I guess it's useful to those seeking knowledge, not those seeking entertainment.

S/he has a point though, some of the questions here are better suited for other threads like the Canada study visa thread and the Canadian Express entry thread.

lol you are right, we seem to have a preference for our own. The one that gets me laughing is how Naija guys would date all the races in this world then jejely marry a Nigerian, atimes even fly back to marry someone in Naija. Of course there are exceptions, especially among non-PRs.

When you find the right Nigerian woman for you, you will stop looking down on and stop sounding derogatory towards Nigerian women.
Many of them may have the wrong values but it takes patience to find the ones with the right mentality on what relationships should be about.

Similarly, when you marry a foreign woman who files for a divorce over something as flimsy as you leaving your socks on the floor(like the one I heard on Calgary radio last month), you'll appreciate the values of Nigerian marriages.

Mechanical Engineering. Msc. (1-3 years experience)

For Canadian experience this can be anywhere between C$55k to C$90k depending on the place and the specifics of the job & firm. For instance, the payscale for Design engineer a.k.a Designer is often different from that of Project Engineers. Also, HVAC pays much less than say O&G.

Thank you so much einsteino for your response, I appreciate.
I plan on going to Fanshawe college and the program is for a one year program in Jan 2021.
Does Ontario consider students for PNP?
