Wow, it's been a while I checked up on this page. Congratulations to all new and prospective PRs.

In case anyone is interested, I'll be offering free rides (once per weekend) from Toronto Pearson to anywhere in the GTA for the next few months (WEEKENDS ONLY).

Bless you!

Good day all. Kindly help a brother

I wish to know if truly Canada is in lockdown that caused companies to closed down. And also if there is any hope for reopening of these companies within the shortest period of time.

Thanks in anticipation for an answer

Yes, COVID cases are on the rise and many parts of Canada are on lockdown. Some companies have closed and many others are not employing. Unfortunately, there's no telling when this will end.

Get your full refund and run with it.

hector:
Why can't you read and understand? U just crop one paragraph out to justify your point. When did asking a question or seeking answers so as to know more about the economy of the US become a sense of entitlement. U people just like insulting people on nairaland just to draw attention and make yourself popular for an unnecessary reason. Please leave my thread alone, abeg.

Lol. Why else will you be asking if $270 is big or small if not for the sole reason of wanting people on here to echo your thoughts of him being stingy? You couldn't wait to find out for yourself when you move to the US?

Again, stop feeling entitled to someone else's money.

hector:
What and what can u buy with 270dollars. Is it really a big money like he said. Someone of what salary level will consider it a big money?

It really doesn't matter if $270 is big or small. It is HIS money and he has told you he can not afford to give you that much.

Stop feeling entitled to someone else's money.

kkmny81:
Where did you send your application for PRTD to? Was it the VFS Centre? Thanks

Yes. In Abuja. This was in 2017 though.

NaijaCanadian28:
Thank you so much for this. I already looked into this but the requirement for this particular school is that I must have graduated from the first degree less than five years ago and I graduated 2012. I also didn’t do two of the required courses (Psychology and Statistics). But now that you mentioned it, I will look into other Universities (since I only checked Uni of Alberta). Thank you once again .

Did you try the compressed program at Lakehead University?
I talked about this in one of my previous posts. Do look through.

rebecausoro:
Has anyone travelled with Turkish Airlines before? Do they require any covid-19 test? I'm sure now that Ethiopian Airways doesn't require the test if your destination is Canada but since Turkish is cheaper for me, I want to be very sure.

I did, pre-COVID and I had a fantastic experience.

alegria07:
Has anyone ever applied for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) from Nigeria. I will like to know the timeline for this. Thank you

I did. Took about 7 business days, if I remember correctly.

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.

Amanda4life:
But I heard its a lonely place

How do u cope with boring social life

Same way you cope with it in Nigeria.

Amanda4life:
PLEASE SIRB, MA
DO U HAVE ANY REGRETS LEAVING NIGERIA.
PLEASE BE HONEST

NEVER.

Informative video. Check your IG DM for feedback. This is me shooting my shot o. **clears throat***

Issa goal!

mamatea:
I would assume you would be required to provide records to that effect. Rape - police record, sperm donation - hospital records, immaculate conception - records of crucifixion and resurrection.

mamatea:
I applied with my child as a single parent. I was asked for and presented the following:

1. To get a Nigerian passport, she would be required to present court affidavit that the child is born out of wedlock along with a signed letter from the child's father permitting her to apply for an international passport on behalf of the child.

2. Whether the child has a different surname or the same as hers, IRCC would require her to provide a signed and notarized form stating that the father consents to the permanent residency application along with the information page of the father's passport.

3. I was also asked by AOR to state the nature of my relationship with my child's father. It is very important for her to point out, if asked, that she has never lived with the child's father as Canada considers that too as long as it's true.

Wow! That's a lot. Thanks for the clarification.

Just wondering. . . What happens if a woman really doesn't know the father of her child? Rape? Sperm donation? Immaculate conception?

Jalzy29:

Good afternoon everyone, for single moms who have gone through this process or for people who have ideas about this. (1) A friend wants to try this express entry process but she Just gave birth recently and isn’t with the baby’s father( she’s single not married) she wants to know how to go about it? She hasn’t collected her baby’s birth certificate yet and she wants to know if putting her surname on the certificate won’t have any issue with the immigration process concerning/asking about her baby’s dad??
(2) Will they ask for a consent letter from the child dad regardless of who’s surname is on the certificate? The guy isn’t in her life so she doesn’t want to even tell him anything about it, since it’s just her and her baby.
Pls so many responses will be appreciated �

Unfortunately, she will be required to submit a signed consent from the child's father approving of the child's relocation.

Okay

This una youtube videos no dey end. E be lyk say everybody wey go canada wey never do youtube video never start

Cheap/efficient internet and picturesque environment fuel the urge for these videos, more so when there is a financial gain.

Lovely pictures Selzsky. Love love the wide smooth roads and dreamy blue skies!

Road trip dey sweet for this country sha. Just load up your car with some food and snacks and drive away, making sure to stop in small small towns to take in the scenery. Amazing!

POTUSUK:
Thanks everyone for what you do. Arrived Canada yesterday and in self isolation now. It was a smooth but long flight.

Congrats on your landing!

PLSHELEP:
Good morning my people...

After 6 months of uncertainty from when I landed in February, finally got a good job and got a lease agreement.

Please help with leads on furniture bank around the Hamilton area in Ontario. I am exploring Kijiji and Facebook marketplace options already but any cheaper option is also welcome.

Please share leads.

Congratulations!!!

titiclassy:
Wait.. Let me be sure that we are referring to the samething, :

I am talking of discounted transport ticket purchase. If this is it then I am very very sure Sheridan, Humber, Seneca, Centennial has.

If this is different from subsidized bus passed, then pls ignore my comments

Do you mean the TTC discount for post secondary students? Where they pay $120 for monthly pass instead of $150?

Schools outside of the GTA/Ontario offer FREE bus passes to post secondary students.

My conscience will not allow me to hold the testimony. It's been 18 months

Big congrats to you and your family!

This should be fun. Y'all, don't forget to keep this thread updated.

Cousiim:
Chief, what about a single person!

If you're frugal, you should be good with $1,000 per month.

koonleh:
thank you,
i am coming with a student visa, no husband,no relations
pls can i get an idea of price of one bedroom with other bills. am trying to see the financial implications to journey so i plan ahead. thank you

Sis, let me not sugar coat this thing; it's going to be very difficult.

Estimate of monthly bills;
Rent: $1,200 (2 bedroom basement, with utilities inclusive)
Groceries: $300
Before and After Sch Care: $1,200
Transportation: $120
Phone bills+internet: $100
Miscellaneous: $200

Total of $3,120 and this does not include the money needed for school and to settle in initially. Unfortunately, you won't be able to make this much working only 20hrs per week. It could be manageable if you were coming in as a PR, cos you will be eligible for some benefits and grants. So except you have some good savings. . . It's going to be financially, physically and mentally draining.

Is there a trusted family member or friend in Nigeria that you can keep your kids with? Your studies is just for one year, you'll be done before you know it. Kids are more resilient than we give them credit for. They'll join you once you finish your studies and have your post graduate work permit.

daks02:
Please anyone apply for visit visa for their parents in February and gotten response? We applied for my MIL since February and no response yet. Anyone heard anything yet?

I applied for an extension in Jan and got a response in June. You might want to call IRCC for an update.

The story of my return to Canada.

Hello all, you may know (or not know me). I started this thread 3 years ago when I wanted to understand what it was going to take to live in Canada. We had our soft landing in 2017 which I shared.

My friend's mom was on this flight. That journey was mad!

Congratulations and welcome home.

You're not in her mind.
Don't be a proxy bot, let her do the talking if she wishes to.

No. I'm not in her mind. Just wondering if she needs a reason to post pictures.
