Hello people. I've started my journey to being a part of you guys here
I want a career change as soon as I land in Canada, because of that I have enrolled for an online public health course in a top USA university. Am I on the right track please? This course isn't quite cheap
Will the certificate be enough for me to kickstart something in the health line once I reach Canada? I mean like get a job, I can add one more certificate if need be.
Thank you guys

Forgive my ignorance, but is Weston not a crime hotbed?

Torkwase1:


Used to work at Steeles too, I was coming from Etobicoke Lakeshore everyday. It was hell, esp during winter!! Had to relocate to Sheppard Ave west sharply. Weston is quite cool, public transport is very regular.

Hello all,

Please I need some clarification on an area for the purpose of tax filing. If a dependant was not in Canada as at 31 Dec (there is this specific question using turbo-tax) but had come into Canada twice during the year, how is the child's residency status described for tax purposes?

Thanks, I would appreciate a regulatory reference if possible.

The express entry part is when applying for skilled jobs, If I get the Job, How will I come and be working with my employer and at the same time and go through the bridging program.

I'm confused, am I applying using the study visa route for the bridging program then later apply for job or use the express entry.. kus this two are different

Richdee1:

To be clear, Please what is the one year bridging Program? Do you mean masters or ??
From what you said Express entry is better. Thanks

Villagegirl:

There are several short changed jobs in Canada including medicine...yet many immigrant doctors never even get the chance to practice.

Getting a Canadian job from Nigeria would involve an LMIA on the employers side and many of them aren't willing to go through that hassle.

Moreover, they have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the job can't be done by the people already in Canada.

Your best bet would be student visa or express entry.

However, there's always that 0.01 chance of getting lucky. I'd say explore all avenues.

Richdee1:
Why have I not seen any Social Worker or Sociology that has gone out for studies(PhD or BSc.) in Canada or Gotten Job abroad from Nigeria..

Hallo, please is there any prospect for a zoology graduate with first class, hoping to do my Master's degree in Canada. What career can I start with in Canada, Nigeria is terrible and I studied a terrible course. I'm so angry with myself. Can I do my Master's in a course not related to zoology

Hello Great People,

My family got nominated by Saskatchewan province through Job Offer Category. Though spouse and I have gotten our Work permit approved ( Spouse’s Work Permit is Employee specific while mine is an open work permit).
before March 18th but unable to travel due to restriction on International flight in Nigeria.

Obvious spouse’s work falls under essential but with Open work permit, Hope there won’t be issues at this particular time (essential or not essential). Kindly help with relevant information to ease this mental burden. (smiles)

Pls what s the average rent of a two bedroom in downtown Ontario and many other less commercialized cities?

salford1:

Risk mitigation. Banks would want the employer to state in writing that the OT hours are guaranteed and will also continue, but what employer would be willing to do that, especially if it's a structured organization.
It's actually a good thing as it also protects the borrower from biting more than he/she can chew.

salford1:

This is the same reason why banks and other credit agencies usually consider only wages/income stated on job contract letter and would often ignore OT hours when granting credits like mortgages, loans, LOC etc. OT hours are not guaranteed.

marinaojo:

Blackbuddy:

For 500k you might need to look towards Oshawa, Whitby, Barrie, Stoney Creek, Grimsby, Listowell etc. More likely you could get townhomes or condos.

Try checking out different locations and price points on https://www.realtor.ca/

Blackbuddy:


Okay, so to the west, the GTA comprises of cities or suburbs like Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Burlington and Oakville.

Eastward you have Ajax, Markham, Scarborough, Vaughan, Newmarket, Whitby, Pickering etc.

The further you move away from Toronto, the less bustle you're likely to encounter. Toronto being the largest city in Canada is followed by Mississauga and then Brampton as the next biggest cities in the GTA. These are nice landing spots for new immigrants with proximity to Toronto and enough infrastructure but good accomodation comes at a premium.

Ezeego61:
Canada doesn't sell citizenship, are you for real? I taught they have cancelled it and that $800,000 is for residency not citizenship.

Ezeego61:
I have the best qualifications which is money. That's why y'all go to school for it. So if I can't migrate to Canada or Australia, then I go ahead to buy dominica or St Kitts citizenship.

Jemidun:

Currently in Brampton.
Can move to anywhere close. I'm not limited.

Hi All,

Please I'm in need of an apartment urgently.
I came into Canada 1st week of March (with my wife and a 1 y/o), hoping to stay here for 2 weeks and go back.

Unfortunately, flights have been canceled and I'm spending a whole lot on airbnb.
I have one more week paid on the airbnb and I cannot afford any more.
Please help o. I'm open to shared apartments too.

Thanks.

NB
I have also been checking for temporary work, but all these Walmart people never call me.

einsteino:


True. Nice to see your moniker again. Your moniker really gave me some hope during LVO wahls.
