both childish. Hasn't even graduated he carry canada for head like gala. The seniors will just start avoiding the thread.

. Bkos you're in Canada, You have the Right to spit it to my face that I carry Canada Waka for my head like Gala.. Have i said something demeaning to you or anyone on this thread. Since you're the Alpha and Omega of Canada, I'll let it slide, Argument and exchanging of words is not my thing
Baba even say Seniors
To be Frank and honest with you, You're a fuuuu
Life is not to be taken this serious, cheer up a bit. All will go well
Well my people say Not every Old Man with white hairs is Wise. Have a good evening

saskatoonguy:
baba, You need to face your studies, finish up on time and start your immigration process. All these send pics! Send pics! Will not. Change anything. I know a lot of people that didn't see any Canadian picture before they get convinced to relocate, if you are looking for motivation to JAPA, Think of BUHARI, that's enough motivation.
Picture is not what this place is all about.
The name of the Thread is Living in Canada/Life as a Canadian Immigrant not Gallery of physical attractions in Canada

Have a good day

Thanks for the headsup Baba.. Well on a good day that schools are open, I hardly have time to come on here to say a thing, I'll just read and Pass. Its the lockdown that's keeping me glued to this thread. and I believe even those in Canada are also indoors. I'm a travel freak and love to see new places, virtually or Physically, thats why I'm always yearning to see places in Canada, which u know I'll get there. Buh u see that Nairaland Methuselah screaming up and down like his father owns Canada,his own is too much.
once again, Thanks for the "Elderly Advice"

Mr flyingpig, when u are asked to stop doing something, u stop it for peace sake. Its bad you are acting this childishly.

Richdee1, you haven't even written ielts exam or done your evaluation but u are already causing nuisance. Nobody needs that. If u need google pictures of Canada u can google it yourself.

And some refreshing pics
Downtown Hamilton, Ontario..
Pic 3. George Hamilton Pub, the oldest Pub in Hamilton, located at downtown, around McMaster University... Downtown is generally regarded as shady with lots of drugs dealing and all vices..

I was always afraid the lights had gone off when it appears as if the fridge has stopped working.. Obviously the thermostat regulating the temperature.
The lights has not blinked. My shoes hardly get dirty even after walking hundreds of metres.

As a youth try and explore other worlds, Nigeria is an upside down country - this is the best way I can describe it as I am short of words. A country where a PhD holder answers sir to a school certificate holder.

Has it been easy, sure no. But the pain is worth it. Well worth it.

Last word, don't do it for yourself, do it for your kids, your future generation, they will one day thank you.

einsteino:


I am a realist, so I understand your fears. I still feel it depends on who you married and how well you think you know her. For those yet to marry, I usually say get a prenup if you can and then hope you never use it. As for the career, I would take a look.

That was a lot of mentions though, I get everyone's point. I wouldn't speak disrespectfully of a spouse on a public forum, but maybe we should cut him some slack. Things happen here and even to good people, so it is natural to be afraid. Those of you who are on the whatsapp group might remember the guy who was hushed by the ladies on the group when he said he couldn't understand why his wife was unwilling to split bills with him. His point was that in Naija, he never for once needed his wife's financial input in running the home because he earned several folds more than her but on getting to Canada, he isn't making a killing like he was in Naija and their income is now about the same. Mind you, the way things are set up here, it is very difficult to run a home on a single income. I thought it was reasonable for him to not only expect but demand that she takes some financial responsibility but to my surprise, a good number of the ladies on the group went on to say stuff like any man who makes such demands is simply not man enough. That shows that it is unrealistic to assume that every Nigerian lady out there would not begrudge you if she has to run the home. I laugh when our women argue that men are the head of the home so they have to foot the bills. Fact is men are not in anyway head of the home here, we are at best ceremonial heads because if ever the police or courts gets involved, the woman is lord.


Cae in point, a month ago, I had to house a friend who got kicked out of his home by the police. Oh yes! the sort of things we often assume is only to be heard not experienced. His girlfriend(they are civil partners) called the cops when they had an argument. Mind you he didn't assault her, inshort she is the one who has a history of assaulting him. That reminds me, if your lady ever assaults you, don't fool yourself to think that the manly thing to do is to tolerate, report it while you still can, it would cover your ass if there is ever litigation. During my work as a Concierge, I have escorted police on several occasions to apartments over calls bothering on domestic issues between couples. All it takes for police to get involved here is a quarell(no violence), inshort the lady needn't call. If the neighbours can hear loud voices, then y'all might just find the police at your door while at it. While I don't know the cause of these quarells, I get the sense that you not only have to be a good husband but you also must be married to a good wife if you are not to regret your marriage here(This is the case even in Nigeria, only that there is more to lose here).

Many of our men are autocratic and that simply can not work here. Some of our women do not understand that they too have to change. Some of our women have the weirdest expectations from a man, one that I hardly see from women of other nationalities. Equality must also extend to responsibilities. Though as with most things, a couple can not be dictated to as to what framework or rules to adopt in running their home. The key is that whatever framework you adopt, it has to suit you both and fair to each other's preference for peace to reign. If you are yet to marry, great! Consider your dates as interviews, especially if you close your options against non-nigerians. If you don't want a lady that is unwilling to split bills, ex them, if you don't want a man that chants be submissive, ex them.

There are many happy marriages here, like the one of my friend that I said his wife had his back for years until he found a reasonably paying job. And I sense that many of the men here dragging the OP also have relatively happy homes. However, to pretend that the risks for men doesn't increase when you settle here, is just being plain naive. Especially since we know that what holds many marriages in Nigeria together is just kids, the way divorce is viewed back home, along with the numerous relatives and clergy that would wade in.

All I can say is that as you plan on learning Canadian workplace culture and all you need to settle in Canada, couples should also plan on making changes that would foster peace and love in their home. Talk things over with your spouse, if there was bad blood or resentment, iron it out and be seen to make ammends. You would find that you would spend most of your spare time at home here, all the beer and bar time that served as escape from your home ceases the moment you get on board that flight. Nobody dey beg couples to stay together here, if una wan fight, police dey more than happy to arrest. If una dey form una no wan do again, lawyers no go school just because of passion, dem wan chop. So use your head, protect your homes because the system is set up to help you do otherwise. Your spouse should be your partner, not your competition.

Hmmmmm thank you

You people focus your energy on issues that are literally not your business.

I really don't understand this energy.
We talk damn too much.

Social media and the online space thrives on content.

Maybe they shouldn't litter the thread with YouTube links? That's a different conversation.

But saying they should not create YouTube videos or contents? Like yooooo! Lol.

Let people do whatever makes them comfortable. If it's a YouTube channel, podcast, webinar, allow people be!!

I for one, will start a YouTube channel when I get to the maple land.

You better be ready...ugh!

This is not peculiar to Nigeria alone though. However, I agree with other points listed.

Hello...Firstly, look beyond Edmonton. You just landed, where you eventually find work will be your home for the main time. Secondly, check requirement for a desktop support roles, try to get some certifications ( CompTIA A+ and N+) will be a good place to start also try and get your Class 5 as early as possible, most support role will require you to do certain % of driving/travelling. Update you LinkedIn Profile that will also help. Most of the interviews I got were from LinkedIn. Good Luck.

I just made a video of Vancouver. You can support me by subscribing.... I remain loyal
