Truck driving is high in demand occupation in Canada,infact there are over 324,000 truck drivers and a vacancy of about 25,000 currently.

However, it is very difficult to get work permit from Nigeria for several reasons:

1. The truck driving sector has lots of Indians and Mexicans and as such they have the necessary community/alliances/businesses/capital to employ themselves.
2. It's difficult to verify your truck driving records.

Is it possible - yes it is, what are the chances - very slim.

@Ednut1 can also add his opinion on this subject matter.

When I was going to start my project in 2020, they assessed a tax of about 2.5 million because for 2018 and 2019, my tax state was Delta State due to my work location. All I did was send them my Delta State tax clearance for those years and that settled it. I joke with my colleagues that with the amount of tax I pay to Lagos State, they should be calling me every morning to ask what they can do for me. This is not bragging before brag-police come for me o, just to show that my PAYE is enough to sort all tax issues with LASG without paying a dime more.

Hello everyone, my brother’s PR has been approved and we’re abit confused about the POF. We heard he can be requested to show the POF at the entry point. My question is do we leave the money inside the Nigerian bank account and print along a bank statement showing the money is still there? Or we do cash or what are the alternatives? Someone said he can send the money to me (since I’m in Canada) and we’ll just need to prove we’re siblings but I dunno if that’s a thing. Thank you

Leave the money in the Nigerian bank account, ensure that he has access to online banking so he can easily login to the account with his mobile phone at the point of entry.

The Agent is offering UK, Canada and US. I've forgotten the amount for UK.

Canada is N3.5m for a family of 3 ( Husband, Wife and one child). The Agent said it will take about 10 months.
Single Applicant is N2.5m

For US, the package is N5m and would be ready in 3 weeks.


I just decided to ask on each thread because immigration rules differ from one country to the other.

In addition, I did not really get a satisfactory response on that UK thread. Only one person responded and he only responded with a link to a news story that revealed that some agencies are bringing people into the UK and charging them fees.

I decided to ask here, in case guys here will give more insightful information.

I want to discourage someone from doing something, don't you think I should give the person more than convincing reasons?

After reading your first post on this matter I wanted to give a different response but looking at this second post, I can confidently say that the whole process is a scam.

If your sister is really interested in coming into Canada via work permit, tell her to research into LMIA, create a Canadian format resume and visit jobbank.gc.ca and search for LMIA jobs. She will have direct access to jobs posted by Employers and this process will cost her nothing. Although it may take some time and lots of efforts in applying for various roles.

Hello gurus,

Thank you for all the information you've made available here.

Please I am a crossroad. I have an offer from a UK school but with the recent update about FSW, I'm also considering Canada. My score on CRS is 476 and I believe that I'm well positioned for this.

Can I still move to the UK and continue the Canadian application from there or will it be impossible?

It all depends on you and your access to cash. Typically for you to study in the UK, u will need a minimum of 15m ( tuition fees, living expenses, visa fee, flight, medical tests etc).

The question is after spending 15m can you afford to finance Canada Immigration via Express Entry? Immigration via EE would cost u an average of 6m ( proof of funds, visa fees, flight, medicals).
However if finance is not a problem, u can go study in UK and continue processing your Canada PR from there, for most people it is a case of opportunity cost and alternative foregone.

[quote author=FrenchHome post=114125354]Good evening,

I and my family of 5 are travelliing to Canada from Europe for softlanding in July. We will be staying in Ontario. We plan to stay in an airbnb. Can you kindly advice a town close to Toronto that we can stay? Basically a town that has easy access to Toronto and does not have expensive accommodation.

The closest cities close to Toronto are: Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Scarborough. I can tell u for free that accomodation in these cities aiint cheap (cheap being relative). For a family of 5, u will need a minimum of 2 bedroom airbnb apartment and these costs an average of 2,500 cad per week.
Thanks. [/qu

ednut1:
highly impossible, they no go even give you the visitor visa to start with. If by stroke of luck you get it its very unlikely to convert unless you can get a job offer. But most of the employers wont get back without a status to start with

It's actually possible, he just needs to meet the right people (Indians) when he lands in Canada. Infact I know of some people that came tru this route some years ago and are currently doing well for themselves in Canada earning 6 digits sef.

Fave12345:
Good day guys, nice work in this community. Please I have a question. Is it possible to enter Canada through visitor's visa and convert it to work permit or sth else?

Don't quote me oOoOO, it's possible but there are certain conditions attached to it sha. Do your research:
1. Visitor visa to work permit (LMIA Route)
U can also google "flagpole canada"
2. Visitor visa to study visa to work permit

My people God has finally answered our prayers and given us PPR after several years of trying. We will be moving to ontario in August. Is there any agent I can talk to for house hunting? I am lost on this. I like GTA/ kitchener. I am open to any suggestion and help bikonu.

Do you have any support system in Canada (someone you can stay with for 2weeks)? if no, I will suggest you book an Airbnb for two weeks. When you land, you can start the house hunting process.
Some recent trends in the GTA housing market:

1. Most landlords will request for a 4-6months rent in advance cos you are new to Canada and without any credit history.

2. The average rent ranges from 1,500 - 3,000 cad depending on the type of house to want.

You can talk to this person, she's a realtor in the GTA axis:

Lexusgs430:
For people that require funds, but have an aversion to sending your money first, then receiving your monies once credit is confirmed, afterwards.......


Can you suggest a better way, the transfer can be executed ? Don't suggest meeting in person ..........

Here in Canada, when carrying out peer2peer Forex, the person with Naira sends money first and the person with CAD sends after receiving Naira

peruxie:

How much? I know someone who might be interested depending on the cost sha

She doesn't have an accomodation yet. She's looking to share a room with anyone that currently has accomodation

A female frnd needs a shared/ student accomodation around North York/ Seneca College.

Karaluann:
I have found a room to rent VERY CLOSE to Centennial college for CAD$800/month. The owner is open to me sharing the rent with a room mate. Please comment here is you’re a female needing a roommate to cut costs for the first few months until you get well settled in at least. That will be just CAD$400/month and such offerings are not lying around everyday in Canada. The house is close to the bus stop and a walking distance to stores where you can get anything/everything. Nearly zero transportation cost! Good for students in U of T, Seneca College, Centennial College, progress campus students

Hi, I have someone interested in taking up the apartment. Can u share your details so I can call or send an email.

The team is having a shaky start to the game... The opponents have not been clinical in front of the goal post, if not they should have been 2 goals ahead..

I pray they regret not taking their opportunities

Accident but thankfully not due to speeding. Road is 100% good.

Whao, Thank God for life.. when I first read the "totalled", I assumed you meant u finished the speedometer on the powerbike because the road was too good, never thought you meant accident.

egobetatoday:


I thought I was the only one nursing the idea of using the canada passport to Japa to another country because of the housing situation. It is just too crazy. Houses in U.S. are newer, bigger and finer for a fraction of the cost in Canada. The market doesn't even look like it's going to calm anytime soon. Does anyone have an idea how to navigate these waters? Make we no come use our whole life dey pay for mortgage.

Abeg when u get the information, remember to share with me.

Shay yourself don see wetin I dey talk. Construction no be rocket science. Na learnable and acquirable science. Make tradespeople in Nigeria cool down learn work reach ground and constantly invest in their business. If nothing, buy the tools of the trade. Na only in Nigeria you go see a builder/engineer with many years in the trade, one single tool, them no get. Even spirit level kpakpa sef na gold durst.

I'm sure you noticed how things are simplified, standardized, price display ( no send me Whatsapp chat to know price). Hope you also noticed there's a tool for every task, ALL timber are cut straight both premium timber and pure water. ALL straight. How is the ability to cut timber straight is a rocket science in Nigeria. I just can't get it.

In some building merchant, there's is a free cutting service or pay a token, they will cut your timber for you to the size you want STRAIGHT.

Look well, you fit jam sales and offer. Use the opportunity to begin buy tools. With the right tools, you will be amazed how simple these things are.

Boss, that one na topic for another day.. although I understand there are several factors within the Nigerian mkt that makes open market pricing difficult..

I also saw the cut to size for a token section and yeah variety of tools at our disposal.

I believe we should all be open to learning, unlearning and relearning.

@naptu2, is this not a replica of the LASMI scheme under Fashola's regime? I remember Lagos state doing something similar to this via LASMI (LASMI financed d purchase of brand new nissan Sunny cars to be used as taxis within the metropolis)

My visit to a Californian Home Depot in November. I immediately understood why I haven’t been productive in Nigeria as much as I used to be back here. Lack of adequate raw materials. You’ll create good minimalist furnitures if you can start with this. Even shopping for trees is a pleasure.

Here are some pictures from my first visit to Lowes yesterday, Similar set up with Home Depot. A one stop shop for everything building/construction/renovations.
I saw the woods at the lumber section, my wife was asking me why the woods ain’t smelling like the iso-pako(sawmill) in Nigeria
