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.

I was in a conference video meeting with about 20+ other people on zoom and we were gonna introduce ourselves. Immediately I started speaking (with my normal Nigerian accent), the host (a Swiss lady) started laughing all through the 30 secs I spoke about myself. I guess it's cause of my accent.

Tbvh, I have no regret eh! Let's catch up sometimes, this whole London is damn boring. This Corona season is even making the whole thing worse!

A big spacious 1 bedroom apartment for the price you pay is not bad.

I know Morrington very well.

OMG!!! where is this location, I was initially looking for 2bdr, before I finally settle for this one on Oxoford and Mornington, but not regret tho, cos then it is really massive as in really really big. Hydro is however I use it, parking is 25, internet is like 45 + hst (carrytel unlimited )

Naijaforeigner:


I and a friend live in a 2 bedroom apartment in London and we pay $1,275 monthly. This excludes monthly charge for WiFi ($30 - unlimited for virgin mobile), hydro ($27), washing and drying of cloths ($2.5 for washing and $2.5 for drying).

And yes, most people from Toronto are now moving to london which has made price of buying and renting of houses so expensive.

Saw the news when I was setting out this morning that there were 189 new cases as at yesterday or today (can't recall what day exactly) in ontario, 100 of which were in Toronto, also 3 new deaths were recorded in BC in addition to the 1st one shocked

May God help us

@Bawss1,

I don't think there is any amount of travel ban that would stop this virus from coming into any country. The only way any country would have prevented this situation would have been to close her borders to all countries of the world the moment it started escalating in China. Banning some countries and leaving out some is not going to prevent the virus from coming in. For example, when the US banned China, it is possible that the virus came in through another country. It just takes somebody from say Spain who has not been to China but has unknowingly had contact with a person who had been to China before coming into the US. Bust since they person has not been to China, you let him in and he starts infecting people without anyone knowing. This is exactly how the infections started in those countries that started the ban on travelers.

So whether Canada followed suit in restricting travels at that time or not, it would have still come in. However, the only difference is that it would have bought the country more time. Probably where we were last 2 weeks would have been where we would have been today and where we are today would have been where would be in the next 2 weeks. This is because it would have reduced the number of people bringing in the virus which would translate to fewer cases of infection as against a situation where the virus was been brought in from left, right and center of the world.

Anyone here lives in London, ON? So dead and different than Toronto, though the rent here is way affordable at least for someone coming from Toronto, but I heard a lot of residents here complaining about how alarming the rent rate is going up, they wholly blamed it on people moving in from Toronto lol and other cities and provinces. One of the residents and my colleague at work even told me he still pays 855 cad for 2 bedroom apartment, and I was like bruh! My 1bdr apartment goes for 1200 cad and I couldn't help but thank God for such a cheap apartment lol, the dude was looking at me like I was crazy. One thing I could even be more grateful for is that the apartment is so massive you can literally make it a three bedroom, or even set up a photography studio. Such size you will never find in Toronto.

She is good! So long she isn't staying in Canada for upto 6 months at a time. She can even flagpole lol. What I mean by Flagpole is, she can go to the US border and turn back same day, and Canada immigration officer will stamp her passport again for another 6 months. If that makes sense.

Got a question for you tho, I don't mind going aside to talk about it, why visiting visa, why not super visa. If you do not mind, may I know howyou applied for the visiting visa? Cos I am in the same shoes right now and about to apply for mumc

Hello gurus in the house, pls help a sister out, I'm a permanent resident here in canada, my mum has a visit Visa 5years, she was here in canada 5months, went to the US, came back after 2 months, stayed here in canada 4months, now shes going to London and will come back here after 1month, is there anyone who has experienced usage of visit Visa like this in the past?, will she has any issues at the point of entry?, is she violating here visit visa status?, I'm yet to apply grandparents super visa for her as I'm still a student.

Exactly my point

Echinedu1:



Actually you are correct but one thing we need understand very well it not only one visa officer looking at numerous application and it does not mean because visa officer A overlook a particular issue officer B will overlook it too ,in canada nanny is classified as work so ur mum Cannot come to canada to take care of your kid taking up the place of nanny but she can come to visit her grandchildren even with a super visa you cannot work.
Travel / Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Sholaystar4me(m): 4:53am On Mar 07, 2020
Hi ty,

Maybe I didn't put it properly, if she stated in her letter that her mum is coming to Canada to help take care of her baby WHILE SHE GOES BACK TO WORK , this might be a red flag. And again, I might be wrong

ty01:


Your assertion is not correct as there is nothing wrong in stating that grandma is coming to take care of the new mum and the little one. People state that in their letters and they are granted Visas. She was denied because of something else. Maybe she did not have sufficient funds in her bank account at the time of application to prove that she can take care of both herself, grandma and little one for the number of weeks grandma will be spending with her.

Hey Zee,

I don't know if you have gotten help to this but I just wanted to point out the reason your mum got rejected, I have read on so many thread and of the reasons for refusal is the fact that you stated YOUR MOM IS COMING TO HELP NANNY YOUR BABY. that singular line is the only reason or one of the reasons she got refused.

Remember, when you are applying for TRV, esp as someone visiting, YOU MUST NOT WORK , so stating that ,triggered that fact, which means when your mum gets to Canada she will be working as a NANNY.

To anybody applying for supervisa, never state in your letter that you are having a baby and your mom will come around to help you with the baby cos then you have to go back to work etc.

Disclaimer: I am no immigration expert, it's only through the research done over the months that I have noticed this pattern of rejection.


Victory is from God alone!

Xplorezee:


I clearly stated that she's coming to help take care of me and my new born as she has always been my support system; maybe I shouldn't have ��,and also to tour Canada but didn't list the places she will visit. She is 52years. I uploaded receipt of her house rent and shop and stated that it will be renewed when due. I have two siblings, one has completed his hnd at ibadan poly and the baby of the house is awaiting her admission to MITT here in Canada.

Bruh, just got my mum's phone from the CID, they helped in tracking it after we reported it as stolen. We paid 10k with a promised that it will be refunded after all the culprits involved are arrested. Our police are good in this department since it's an avenue for them to make extra cash. We got the phone yesterday and a promise to get the money for us in few days.

So man, be prepared to pay between 10 to 15k. But be rest assured, YOU WILL GET IT BACK!

I can see your frustration bro. Below is my piece of advice;

--> Finish what you started, finish your law school first, get the degree and go to law school, make your mom Happy, that's what you owe her. After, you can follow your mind. But please do that first, after all, we all are trying to find who we are and what we really want.

Recommendation: Read about Bolaji Sparks, he is a very good example and maybe can inspire you.
