Good morning everyone, there is this saying that being born in a poor family isn't your fault but dying poor is your fault.
Am 21yrs old, everyday I keep losing hope in Nigeria and it kills me that if I don't act now I will disappoint my younger siblings because am the first born.
Please I need someone to show me what to do on how to leave Nigeria for Canada, my parents are not rich but I can hustle the money.
Am begging in the name of God please someone help me have lost all hope in Nigeria.

Well, IRCC website states that the marriage must be valid under the jurisdiction in the country and under Canadian Federal law , not only under the jurisdiction in the country. The word legally recognized was also put in bold. I gave my comment based on my understanding of what was on IRCC website. I think someone already said she used Nikkah certificate for her application and she was good. I hope she makes the best decision for her.

I have to do what you have to do....

So question, Whats your linkedin? Just want to see something

canada immigration does not work that way. At 21 i doubt you have 3 years experience, masters or bsc plus a diploma. Nobody can help you unless you qualify. Read up on the process as shared by richdee above and work towards meeting the requirements.

Danny6552:


Sorry to ask bro .. for those that learnt trade skills like plumbin or welding.. or painting. How will they know if you have 3 years experience or not

Stencil:
If you were paid for the job and if the job was in a qualifying NOC - You can count it as part of your 3 years experience.
Has to be NOC A, B, 0. Click here to search the NOC list.
ps: Plumbing is NOC B and can be used.

Hey Brother,

I believe you have a ton of experience from schooling and working in Canada. I know the conversations here seemed to have taken off on the wrong foot, but I imagine you have a wealth of experience you were looking to share when you started engagements on this thread.

As we move into a new calendar year, please let's allow bygones to be bygones. There are lots of folks who would benefit from your undergrad experience in Canada, professional insight into the IT industry, or even general life in BC. No pressure whatsoever - take your time. I would be looking forward to reading your insightful expose on Life as a Canadian Immigrant; your pitfalls, your wins, and what you would do differently.

Cheers! Happy 2021!!!

Hello Flakeyy,

Congratulations on your PPR.

Many have responded to this already, however I wanted to quickly draw your attention to "safe time to fly" for pregnant women. Please note that the internationally recommended is 32 weeks. Although some airline - specific - may allow up till 35 weeks but must include a "fit to fly" from your GP or reliable hospital. Please put this in mind as you search for the airline also enquire about their options for pregnant women.

Secondly as regards the OHIP, yes you can get help right away when you land, in fact I will advise you to contact a midwife since that is most likely what you'll be using as a resident without Health Insurance Card - surely you dont want to pay when you can be on insurance. As such, start browsing the closest midwives association closest to your choice of residence.

Also do not forget the 14day quarantine period, meaning if you have to wait to 35 weeks before flying, you'll be almost due at 37weeks.

Kindly put the above 2 factors into consideration when deciding when to fly, I sincerely wish you haven't booked yet, because as you said, please do not consider birthing in Nigeria...please do not! My wife and I even got a placement early this year with 2 midwives and had interviews and zoom sessions already without landing yet or even PPR self only for our hopes to be dashed...well as you know corona and Ottawa change hand for us...baby is now 4months and we still dey naija..lol

See the link to the Ontario midwives page, use the search option to find the closest to your choice of destination /residence.

Lastly, although I no b Accountant o, but from what I know, seen, researched and heard, please do not go for M.Sc unless you want to consider it for the grant or if you'll get scholarship. The reason is that Canada is more concerned with what you can deliver not the paper you have. Indeed, many take the Masters route to get the right Network or connection, but do not consider it as an alternative to your Professional Certification. And, don't be surprised if your Line Manager or supervisor only hold a Diploma. Infact, soft skills they say, will take you further, remember most migrants in Canada are professional from their home country. But soft skills isn't learnt in schools in many foreign countries Nigeria inclusive.

PS: please, consider the airline's "fit to fly" options and the 14days quarantine requirements.

_{I sincerely hope this is helpful, and I'll like to thank you for reading.}

Hi! Been in Canada for some days now. Please does anyone know how someone in Canada can receive money from Nigeria. My family has been trying to send money but to no avail. I heard Cbn cancelled sending money from Nigeria to foreign countries thus I can't use Western Union. Pls help a sister. Thanks

Please I need some help from anyone who is coming to Ontario, Canada in the coming weeks this January.
Someone in my immediate family has a common medical condition that requires a medication, which is not accessible over the shelves here, and we have not been able to get the doctors to prescribe the particular medication during visits to the hospitals, as that is not the standard practice here.

Please I need the help of someone who can buy the medication from any credible pharmacy in Nigeria and bring it down on his/her trip. The medication we came with is exhausted. All expenses will be taken care of.

Please reach me on WhatsApp on +1 437-225-6640

Thanks
