Good People,

Honest question, please: what do you guys think of healthcare in this our Canada o? I can't believe the only time I can see a doctor ASAP is in the case of an emergency. Or go to a walk-in clinic! So much for free health care o! Do you guys have a way around this or I just have to wait noni? Ẹ dákun.

Are there like private clinics? My health insurance in the US is very good and I don't have to wait to see a doctor. I am not feeling this gbogbogbo healthcare o.

For minor health problems (flu symptoms, immunizations, minor infections etc) I go to walk-in clinics if I can't wait to see my family Dr. I usually find the less busy ones near me, with less wait times.

If serious/emergency, I'd go to the ER. You will be attended to according to the severity of your illness. Heard the ERs are not busy these days though (people don dey fear hospitals), so you should be seen fairly quickly.

Speedy recovery.

Finally, a kind (and apparently happy) person! Thank you, really appreciate this. I will definitely look into the walk-in clinics.

Thanks for asking the original question, I've often wondered myself if there is a "private" medical sector in Canada.

My frame of reference was the UK (not even the US or Nigeria and absolutely nothing to do with being elitist ) which has a very vibrant state health system (the NHS) but also has private consultants one can book an appointment with. Apparently these do not exist in Canada, at least for minor illnesses, from what has been shared here. Could it be that they do exist, at least in some provinces, for more serious conditions? I'm surprised though, given that Canada is so similar to the UK, in terms of being not as capitalist as the US.

Apparently this is a long standing debate and gets tempers flaring

Haba na, you can do better than this na. Honestly, there's nothing bad in asking what you don't know.

Small, genuine question, you don turn immigration officer. Na wa o. No one is feeling they are above anyone, that's not who I am. I am just trying to seek info from folks who got here before me.

You can answer people's question without being unnecessarily rude. I know you are nicer than this.

I apologize. That wasn't my intention. I'm trying to let everyone know, if you have an capitalist/elite attitude, throw that out the door once you get to Canada. It doesn't work here. You know you have to book through your doctor or go to a walk in. If that's not possible, then go straight to a hospital which is open 24/7 with 1st world medical equipment.

What do you mean "so much for free healthcare" ? Why are you talking about how you had such an amazing healthcare insurance where you had access to a doctor 24/7 ? It seems like waiting your turn, based on the seriousness of your illness was disturbing you.

Lastly, you have a lawyer in naija. His greatest concern is doing a "dirty job" in Canada. Not leaving Nigeria, a country that allows their police and military to kill its citizens. A country where 70% of its citizens live in poverty. Doing a dirty job in Canada is his major concerns. A country where nobody cares who you are or what you do for a living.

I'm just saying for everyone about to come to Canada. Leave that nasty capitalist/elite attitude behind.

The luxurious condos that some Bus drivers live in Toronto is simply unaffordable to most people. A bus driver with a city transit is likely to gross more than many professionals can dream of. Moreso, I dare say they even get more respect than most. Aside Doctors and Nurses, I don't know of other professional that gets a warm "thank you" as often as Bus drivers. I think the problem is that people in Nigeria make the mistake of conceptualizing life in Canada with their Nigerian experience. They will be very surprised how different the value system and life here is.

I just thought of it, I actually do not know what the neigbours in the house next to mine look like lol. Sure I have seen them a couple times and know their race but their face did not stick, let alone did I care to say hi or notice what they do for a living or drive.

They usually Marry themselves. So they'll have a household income of like 200k dollars per year. When I meet an older Nigerian, I usually direct them to jobs like this.

Would you be exporting your vehicle? If so I can send you a link with things to do before crossing the border.
If you're driving a rental, there's nothing much to know, it'd be the same process as coming in through the airport except you'd have to exit the car and go into the building for processing.

Hello,
Is there any thread on moving to canada from the US. I need info about going through the michigan border, if its possible and what to expect.
Thank you

I'm sorry but this is impossible to answer. Your best bet is to call and get an agent to give you an update on your application if possible.
You can also use one of those immigration tracking softwares to see how others with your AOR are faring, that'd give you an idea.

Hi Frailbuzz,

my copr was actually in march 19,2020. Prv expired 28th October,2020. Have applied for letter of authorisation,but no response. Just wondering if I can still travel.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you
For those who received COPR after March 18 and don't know if they can travel or not. I was in your shoes two weeks ago. I dropped my question here and was encouraged to moved.

I DID

Landed Pearson international Toronto yesterday. Anybody with a COPR can travel just make sure you have proof of your POF.

Landing gist coming up soon.

Peace.

Hello everyone,

Please I would like to know about the letter required from FRSC to get exemptions in some areas when applying for a driving license in Canada.

Does FRSC have a template for this? If no, please what should the letter contain?

Is there any other thing I’ll need to get asides this letter?

Thanks in advance

Please does any one need NGN for CAD or know any reliable groups or people?

I've never had issues seeing a doctor, emergency or not. And I'm a mother with children. If I want to see my family doctor, I can call and get an appointment. Otherwise I can walk into her clinic and see any random doctor. I can also walk into any of the 8-10 clinics within a 10 minute drive from me.

The walk in clinics are run by doctors. Funny enough the doctors at the hospitals also work as clinics. They're running their clinics, just that the clinic is located in the hospital.

I can call 811 24/7 to find out if I even need to go to a clinic. I can call 911 and be rushed to the hospital. I can do phone consultation with my family doctor. And I can go to the ER even when it's not an emergency.

In Alberta, if you're low income your children will have access to an even wider range of free care.

Canada operates a universal healthcare system that doesn't discriminate based on income. The country prides itself on this, and the US system is considered a disgrace because those who can't afford insurance, are sidelined healthwise. When everyone has to utilize the same system, then the rich and influential will ensure the system works.

In Canada, they don’t go buy cheaper, they go by efficiency. Most of all these cheap electronic gadget in Nigeria are cheap cos they are made in China. If you are buying original apple product, I think it’s cheaper to buy it here in Canada.
