Hello. For CPA, it's according to provinces but one thing I can tell you for sure is that Ontario takes time.

You have to complete a tax and law course which costs arounf 670 CAD and this can be bought via a draft in CAD. U can tell someone to help you. You need to fill a work experience form and get letter for good standing from ACCA. U need to evaluate your ACCA transcript from WES. Course by Course.

For the tax and law course. U must score 80 to get the certificate as it is part of your requirements. Let me tell u a trick, u may not read those long lengthy chapter. Just go to the quiz and do tinini tanana, till u pass the 80. Hahahaha. All the best.

Hmm. Now I hope there will not be a problem with the WES evaluation because I plan to use my ACA (ICAN) to get exemptions for ACcA exams.

However I was thinking of doing CIA, although I have no audit experience.

@Youngwolf. To reply messages, delete the words in btw to shorten it and make sure the [..quote in intact.]. That way you quote the reply. I know for CPA Ontario, if you got your ACCA with another qualification, like ICAN. You can't apply for CPAO. Maybe it's different in other provinces.

See this. (members who obtained membership in ACCA through an MRA with another professional body are not eligible under this MRA).

with ican you have to write 4 papers in professional level to get acca. Hence it meets the requirements as per the second clause.

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by bekayy: 3:26pm On Nov 01, 2020
I think for the 1st time. I have understood this better. An MRA won't require u to write exams, so since u have to write exams in ACCA, you are good to go.

I always looked at it that having to write those 4 papers shows u were exempted due to an MRA .

I get it better now. Thanks.

this is a Nigerian's timeline for nova scotia. Depending on the province investment are usually 100k to 300k cad and networth of 500k to 700k cad. So check each province website for details.



*Someone's timeline*

*Entrepreneurship Testimony*

*Ola's PPR - Nova Scotia Entrepreneur Route*

Hmm, this journey...I would read testimonies and would ask myself, when will it be my turn. I turned that question to prayer to God and He showed up for me.

CRS was initially 326, hubby evaluated his masters and it moved to 327, then I wrote IELTS in August and got a slightly improved score. CRS moved to 340. Then I further evaluated my OND and CRS moved to 359 (OND that I had earlier discarded gave 19 points! Wonders !). Anyways, at this.point, I knew God had to intervene in PNP as best option for me and family.

SINP EE submission - 5th July 2018
AOR - 5th July 2018
IP - August 2018
Septeber 2018 - Wrote to SINP about change in profile

Then the wait....

In January 2019, was led in my spirit to research the business/entrepreneur route. I researched extensively and decided to apply to Nova Scotia as easier for me to meet their requirements.
2 Jan 2019 - sent expression of interest to NSNP
2 Jan 2019 - NSNP acknowledgement received
8 Jan 2019 - Invitation to apply received from NSNP
9 Jan 2019 - withdrew SINP application ( I just had peace to do this. I had a conviction there may be an issue with work experience matching. I had applied for Economists and policy researchers but I don't have any any work experience to match this. I just wanted to get in the stream then. It was the days of SINP fastest fingers)
18 Jan 2019 - applied to IRCC for exploratory visit visa
5 Feb 2019 - procedural fairness letter received ( they queried why I didnt state a prior U.S visa refusal. The truth is that at the date of my visa application submission, I had not received correspondence from U.S embassy on my visa renewal. I received correspondence on 22 Jan 2019, in which they asked me and my family ( it was a family application) to come for an interview. I wrote IRCC stating this and God showed up for me ( meanwhile, U.S embassy denied our visa renewal)
12 March 2019 - passport request for visitor visa for the exploratory visit (3 months visa given)
12- 19 May 2019 - exploratory visit to Nova Scotia
26 May 2019 - application sent to NSNP (Paper application)
28 May 2019 - application acknowledged by NSNP
12 June 2019 - NSNP interview request received
21 June 2019 - applied to IRCC for visitor visa to attend interview
20 August 2019 - eligibility review (not sure when it started just noticed change on this date)
8 September 2019 - BVL received
11 September 2019- Passport request for visitor visa for the interview ( 3 months visa given)
15- 17 October 2019 - interview trip to NSNP office in Nova Scotia. Attended interview on 16 October 2019
16 October 2019 - interview passed. Business performance agreement received
9 December 2019 - Entrepreneur letter issued by NSNP and support for accompanying dependants
10 December 2019- submitted application to IRCC
18 December 2019 - medical passed. Eligibility started. Request for additional documents (clearer scanned passport pages for me and education/work history for spouse)
19 December 2019- submitted additional documents requested
4 February 2020 - Ghost update
5 February 2020 - passport request for closed work permit visa for me, open work permit visa for spouse and study permit visas for kids (2 - a 10yr old and a 7yr old)

Under the program, PR is given after landing and successfully running the business for a year.

Revelation 12:11 " and they overcame him by the blood and by the word of their testimony..."I know my PR is sure in a year's time, as stipulated in the program guideline, by God's grace and I will share the testimony in Jesus name

�������dancing my dance, singing my song - � Jesus, you are a wonder (3x) Jesus, you are a wonder to my soul�
shouting Halleluyah �������

... Naija to Nova Scotia...

I give God all the glory. He answers prayers.

Lyrical - thanks for helping me even when you had not met me in person. I asked you lots of questions and you answered me kindly. Such an incredible personality.

Solomon ( now in Nova Scotia) - my brother from another mother that I met on this group. You kept encouraging me.

Ma IG - I would like to thank you specially for replying my DMs at those times when I was so unsure. You have never met me before; I just introduced myself from the group and you were very helpful with honest answers to my questions. And thanks for setting up this excellent group with fine people.

For furniture, you can start out with liquidation stores, Kijiji, Facebook marketplace, etc. You can get good quality for cheap/free or just get cheap. After like 2/3 years and you have stabilized then you can buy new furniture that you'll really like.

Tobey Federal program is a bit difficulty - It will be nice to see who has used this stream from Nigeria.

START-UP VISA

- Letter of support from designated angel investor group or venture capital fund or business incubator
- Language CLB 5+
- proof of sufficient fund
-Up to 5 applicants for one business is allow
- If the essential applicant is rejected by IRCC,the other applicant will be rejected.

Self-employed person

Cultural/Athletic Activities
NOC group 51 and NOC group 52 etc

That is why I am not looking at the federal part

Before you pick up the item, ask the person directly if there were bedbugs in their house previously, then check it very well to ensure no bedbug eggs or roach eggs. The last thing you want is to bring bedbugs into your apartment.

It's not very common but a friend mentioned that it good to check as some people would rather sell the furniture rather than fling it.

Will really advise you do, almost lost my life this year, still didn't know how God saved me. My car skidded off Highway 401 when I was going from Toronto to London , the long vehicle trailer that was coming from behind almost ran me over when my car formed a T right at its front. The snow started all of a sudden and I had "all season" wheels on.

So please change your tires, it's for your safety!!!

Genevach:
Good days sirs/madams
if I fail my first or second driving test, when I travel to Canada with my Nigeria drivers license. Will it limit me from getting an instant full license
Is it a must to change my tires to winter tires every winter??, If I decide no to change tires during winter will I be illegal.
