Rocorleone:

Please could you tell me how you sent the letter from Nigeria to Canada. Please I need the procedures.
Thanks

No procedure, really. Just walk into any NIPOST office and tell them you want to send a package to Canada. It's pretty straightforward.

How much would it cost to send a letter from Nigeria to BC?

I sent to Toronto for #400. BC shouldn't be more than #600.

Not so cold out here yet, it's just -6 at the moment close to the US border in Sask.

Someone asked about snow photos. I put up some when it snowed here on october 1st.

@damonas I would really prefer if you ask your questions here if you don't mind. Unless it's really personal info. It's just easier for others to also benefit in my opinion. I had my baby at Rocky view and got referred to an ob from my gp. It may take you a couple of weeks to get an ob referral just because the way the system runs your gp may end up taking all of your prenatal consults and may even take your delivery. I wanted an ob because I was concerned about certain issues so I requested and insisted until I got one.

@einsteino about jobs. Well, in 2 days I'd have spent 6 months in Calgary. First 2 months were spent pregnant. I'm in a licensed profession so I may not be the best person to give reviews about jobs but about 2 months ago I attended a job fair and got a job but I ended up declining that offer because it involved working with kids which is not my strong point and also because I applied for and got accepted into a government funded program that gives employability skills training and an internship and I opted for that because it would give me more benefit in the long run and i get paid too. Most new migrants in the health sector tend to work as care aides but I'm a bit glad I didn't have to because honestly I'm not well suited to those jobs. In my opinion, you would get a job if you keep searching. It may not be your dream job initially but you won't starve.

Thanks for sharing.

Could you please give details of this training/internship?

Newfoundland is a very nice and reserved province, I enjoyed my time there. It's good for schooling and raising family. However, people move out of the place because of work. There is no too much to do there. Meanwhile, it's a place I can live conveniently in if I get my dream job there.

Nice. Thanks.

Update on this for those of us upgrading or intend to upgrade for licensing purposes.

After submitting my application on 8th October, it was still showing the documents I need to send but I decided to be patient. On 10th October, it was updated to 'all documents received' and then on 11th October, it has changed to 'all documents reviewed and accepted', completion scheduled for 19th October now.

So I guess our ECA was ICAP all along because they didn't even do any verification from my schools again.

Mine has been sent for verification. angry

I guess every case is different.

Thank a bunch vcole, will most def consult a tax consultant. Already have a realtor negotiating for 20% for the mortgage. I hope I won't be charged that 25% income tax on the initial funds I'll come in with as that won't be fair on us. That will be some higher amount if anyone is coming with large sum.

No. Initial fund should be tax free. You get to pay on subsequent ones.

Yes, for a fresh application, there is price difference. ICAP is $245 while Basic is $210. The only difference in terms of features is that ICAP stores the verified transcripts for future use.

However, for our case that needs only upgrade from ECA to course by course, I didn't see the option of ICAP and me I no wan pay twice oo

Ehen! Cos I've been looking for the ICAP option and couldn't find it. I've already paid for the upgrade. I no wan hear story oo. I also noticed they included transcript and certificate as required docs.

Will email them on Monday to clear things up.

Actually according to their website, they have the basic course by course and they have what they call ICAP... Basic doesn't store verified transcripts while ICAP does.

Those guys do not reply mails, just one auto generated response!

Please for those of us here that have successfully upgraded their WES ECA to course by course, did WES ask you to send the documents again (certificate and transcripts) because that's what they show in my account although I am yet to make payment.

Also, was their the option of upgrading to ICAP(the one that store the transcripts for future purpose) instead of basic?

Isn't course to course same as ICAP?

I think you may have to email them as regards the documents needed.

Yimiton and teewhy31, please don't fret. You will receive your passports. I do understand it can be annoying. I got my application approved exactly 6 (six) weeks from the day AVO received it. After that, i still didnt get pick up email until i sent them a reminder. So trust me, I know what it is to wait.

Focus on relocation, cos it will surely come. wink

Hmm all this talk is making me afraiding o!
@impish @canadianfly @merrymum @vcole @dupsyshoo @xx01

I dont have a help either and I have 2 kids (3.95 and 1.4 years). I'm used to watching d kids and doing chores but im barely standing strong. If we then add homeschooling and d pressures of starting afresh in a foreign land, Now am thinking... "Maybe God is delaying my PPR so i can slow down and enjoy the last few months in naija as a resident and be fully prepared for PR living abroad".

Guess for me the good news is my daughter helps alot with her brother (when shes not glued to the T.V and he cares to listen). I also have my mom looking over them while im at work (though my daughter is in school 8-3)...and even though hubby cannot cook to save his life, he helps with cleaning the bathrooms and sweeping tooo (weekends only but bless him).

This Canny dream ehhhhh...anyways, SLOWLY BUT SURELY!
