@ Odingo1:

Read carefully, the guy never said anything about saving CAD$100K in a year. His goal when he started the thread was to save CAD$120K in two years (which is doable) but he was not able to accomplish that goal because of some situations he explained already. You need to read the thread from page 1 to understand how it is possible to save a lot of money even when working on low wage. I also explained, on page 11, how this is possible in general and on page 14, I explained how I personally save a lot on low wage before I started working in my profession. Here is the link to both postings:

I hope the information in those two postings will be helpful in your decision making.

pls bro I need a childcare provider job

atutupoyoyo2211:
Hey guys, so i want to just try a quick 3 months activity. As some of you know, because of School i have not been able to work so much late last year and this year so far. So i decided last night to work for the next 3 months. I have 2 places i will work at. First is a health center and the 2nd is a pharmaceutical company. Now i'm gonna be doing security at the 2 companies.
I got 4 security job offers, but i decided to go for the 2 safest and also the ones i could help out during this pandemic. Now i could sit at home and take the government $2k, my wife is doing that already. But working gives me an opportunity to make 4k or 5k each month. I know we are in a pandemic, and i am keeping myself as safe as can be, we are provided all the PPE we require. i'm gonna put up a picture of me in my PPE.
Now, i am gonna put up all the paystubs up as i get them, so we can also see the taxes I'm paying. Now i do have bills to pay as does everyone, but I'm gonna plan it out as best as i can. The health center pays $20.448 an hour while the pharmaceutical company pays $17.20.
I like doing this cos its very educative and informative based on personal experiences, on how much one can earn and save on little wages.
Hopefully, we will all survive this pandemic and give God the glory and our medical practitioners the kudos.

From investigation mba forex will not survive the next 2 months because the federal government has given a marching order to cbn to close it. No wonder they struggle to pay returns to investors unlike when they started. But come to think of it, are nigerians not greedy? After what mmm did to them they still have the mind to engage in another scheme. A word is enough for the wise

disregard this information

The statement in bold is not always true. If you plan your life properly you do not need to work more than 40hrs in a week to live decent and debt free life. With the correct residency status, people may have to work a lot of hours in a minimum wage job when they just arrive. With proper planning, they can eventually get a job in their profession and work only 40hrs a week. If you read the Op (@atutupoyoyo2211) post from start, you will see that this is what he is planning to do. He does not plan to stay in this kind of job for the rest if his life. Sadly, this type of opportunity is not available in Nigeria.

I have been trying to avoid talking about my own experience regarding @atutupoyoyo2211 approach because I am trying to protect my identity and also because if some people find it difficult to believe @atutupoyoyo2211 whose situation is very straight forward, how would they believe me. Without revealing too much about myself, I will at this point say a little to show what is possible with proper planning and prudent spending:

1. I came to Canada in 2001 with permanent residency visa (landed immigrant visa is what we called it then)
2. I worked in minimum wage job for one year at the same time trying to get my professional certification and register in my profession.
3. For the one year I was doing the minimum wage job, I was living and saving as I explained on page 11 here: https://www.nairaland.com/4857306/monthly-savings-canada/10#73854976
4. By early 2003, I got a job in my profession and started working only 40 hour a week because my salary back in 2003 was already 4 times what I was making while working minimum wage.
5. Two years later, in 2005 I bought my house with 20% down-payment. The down-payment was from all my savings from working minimum wage and 2 years of working in my profession.
6. I continued to live modestly and investing in the stock market (not just savings). This way I was able to fully pay my mortgage in 2015 which is 10 years after buying my house compared to others who spend recklessly and take between 25 to 30 years to pay off their mortgage.
7. Without being boastful, I can tell you that today (2018) I am a Millionaire in Dollars (in cash, stocks and other investments), my wife and I drive luxury SUV’s, we go on vacation with our kids twice a year (one trip within North America during the spring break in March/April and the second trip to anyone of either Europe or Asia or Nigeria when the kids are on summer vacation in July and August).
8. I have a lovely and supportive wife and amazing 3 kids that are making me proud and thankful to God daily.
9. All of the above do not include my wife’s savings and investment as she also works in her own profession.
10. I do not have any type of debt (no mortgage debt, no car debt, no credit card debt). I pay my credit card in full every month.

If the above is not fulfilling and living my Canadian dream, what else is it.

@atutupoyoyo2211: I hope you can learn one or two things from my write up above. Please continue doing your thing and do not be discouraged. I can see success in you. Please do not disappoint me.

Important: Please note that the above is applicable only if your status in Canada is legal (i.e. you have permanent residency or you are a citizen). Please do not plan to come to Canada with just a visitor visa and think you can easily make it like we are trying to explain here. As far as I am concerned planning to come here and make it on visitor visa is a suicide mission. You may end up making it but the chance is very slim and I do not encourage such move.

brother pls I wanna migrate to Canada I am a forex trader with over 2years experience...not just me but together with my family ....all I need from you is to help my mum get a caregiver job ...we have tried our best but most of the employers said that she needs to be in Canada before they give her work ...my mum is a community health nurse with over 10 years experience ...she would have gone for ee but she's above 45 and she can't perform that well in ielts ...pls brother help us let's take advantage of the newly lunched caregiver program ...I will forever be greatful to you

Landing gist

So our trip ( I and my Husband) was booked 100 days before…now it was the d-day July 17th 2019. We had intentions to cargo, then later changed our minds to go with 4 boxes 23kg, by the time I had packed in the foodstuffs, I was 3 boxes full, with the 4th box half full with foodstuffs.� I had to let go of the foods and pack some clothes, shoes, mini blanket, personal care items etc. I used the generic some list provided on the tread then added other foodstuffs that I love as an Oriaku. Ugba, Abacha, Ogiri, Ukwa etc . The Ukwa weight no b small, I had two bags, had to forfeit one and schedule for Cargo. I learnt that my Cargo can come much later, even after 3 months, so far the invoice was stamped. This made sense, cos I didn’t seem to understand how I will be carrying so much luggage to an Airbnb. Whilst packing, I had bought 2 cargo long sacks, and was putting clothes n sweaters that would be sent via cargo later in it.

Wednesday JULY 17th
We virtually didn’t sleep the night before as I began last minute packing.� That was when I knew that 23kg is so minute. We had the normal glass body scale. The idea was to weigh you, then carry the suitcase, then subtract. Of course, it was my Husband that did all the macho work. The scale records each measurement also, so a single person can do solo. Also, I was getting an Airbnb same time.
Ethiopia Flight was for 1:40pm, My parents showed up around past 8. Left in a hurry at around 9am. It was an hour drive. Got in 10:10am, We had 4 checked-in suitcases, 2 hand luggage, 2 schoolbags (laptops in it) and of course my hand bag. The airport scanner at the entrance stopped 2 food boxes, my Mum n I went to understand whatsup. A lady asked my to put the box on the platform n open it, asking me the contents. I told her foodstuffs, they looked up n saw my mum, n asked if its Mama that has the box…My Mum said its hers…They allowed me to go o. And said if I was asked, I should say its clothes….I didn’t know how I can lie that kian lie, cos the moment u open my box eh, the soup smell u will get is enough convincing. My Mum just rogered the woman some change that surprised the Woman,,@N400 n said she was coming back. So luckily, that how I escaped the Agric people�…weighed the luggage, all on point, within the range. 22, 23.5, 24, 23.7….good to go! No queue at all. Please come early as much as possible, cos just 30 mins after, the queue I saw was scary. W used the remaining time to eat our last naija meal for now. Meanwhile, I was able to change naira to CAD easily at the BCD @ N285 which wasn’t bad instead of stressing with USD. 350CAD = N99,750. I withdrew 100k from an atm closeby n case closed. That was enough for holding. Took pictures n said goodbyes. My brother inlaws called us to wait for them before we get in to board. My Parents were in full disagreement n told us to start going as the attendant had told us 12pm boarding. It was 12:15pm. We asked the boarding officials if we can see my inlaws..he said we should note the boarding time on out tickets; 12:55pm. So we kukuma waited n took pictures when they came, We had to go outside cos it was a large convoy. 12:40…ran back in to board. Little did we know the journey to the plane was long n had its own process. At some point we started jogging, to meet up with 12:55 at the gate. I gave all my nairas to my Mum before boarding, so nothing for the glorified askers. We made it!!!! We won’t be doing this kian James Bond anytime soon. My Sis had slightly missed her flight to US, n had to pay more money for another flight, that wasn’t an option for us ooo. Food was okay to me, inflight entertainment was okay. Just that both flights didn’t have enough leg room. I made a friend on the second leg: Ethiopian to Toronto, she sat beside me with her handsome baby boy, that never cried all through the trip! Somehow, we were all headed to Calgary.

Thursday JULY 18th
Arrived Toronto, Immigration was super slow…normal questions asked. Then proceeded to baggage claim, then went to customs (CBSA) to let them know I have goods to follow. I tried to print the goods to follow @ our airport they told me 1k per sheet….I thanked them n walked away. I just wrote the list on a normal jotter, the official transferred it to a form n asked me to write the CAD value, n that was all. I categorized it in sections …Food items CAD000, Clothing and Shoes…, Personal Care Items….. Books….Tools…. You don’t need to spell out the individual item. I noticed a large scanner beside the official as another official was scanning a traveler. I just prayed to avoid being searched; I had 2 pepsi bottles of Palm oil. I didn’t freeze it; advice from an aunt in Immigration. That NDLEA guys might assume I have drugs in it. So I asked for directions to Air Canada from the CBSA official, n he pointed to a door, that was how I told him thank you n zoomed out of the baggage search area.
Air Canada stressed me no b SMALL. They couldn’t see my booking. I had arrived around past 8 n had given enough time for Calgary @11am. I didn’t have a address, and I didn’t want to use a FRIEND’s, so the CBSA officer gave me a form to update my address n fax or mail back. My Friend in Edmonton, that used a friend’s address has to update her address, everywhere she had filled in her friend’s place. The CBSA officer was done with me @ 10am. With all my rush, We missed the flight. I kept going up n down, from counter 6, to counter 2 n back. Decided to separate queues. My Husband stayed on the queue for boarding, while I stayed on a queue for tickets. The next flight available was for 8:45pm! Mba Mba, I no gree o. But I took it anyways, n quickly met my husband at the tip of the queue. I smiled to the attendant n asked her to book us down for standby. Our luggages were tagged n weighed. She gave us a 12:40pm ticket! And we still sat side by side. Flight was tiring, another 4 hours ..even though on the ticket, It appears to be 2 hours. That’s the queer thing about time difference. We just took the free drinks, then water. Already knew that food wasn’t free. We arrived Calgary, n waited for our baggages. Got tired n decided to go to the Baggage inquiry with our luggage tags. Unfortunately, our checked –in luggages didn’t get d memo on time, was coming with the 8:45pm flight. We were told to expect it tomorrow, n I dropped our Airbnb address and a friend’s number as phone contact. I noticed my airtel lost signal since. The delivery was totally free.
It really good to know someone on ground o, cos navigation isn’t easy at all especially if its your first time like me n hubby. My Husband’s cousin had referred us to a family friend that can help out. This guy was just an ANGEL! He picked us up from the airport, took us to an Indian restaurant, we ate real food! Then drove us to our Airbnb. That was when we knew the place was far from Calgary. I had used a price range for Calgary, somehow, didn’t know how I scrolled past n landed in Didsbury(45 mins private drive from Downtown) @ $100 for 3 nights. Luckily, it wasn’t a month booking. The area is a lil town with a massive green area. The wind was cold whilst still sunny. Weird!

Thursday to Sunday JULY 18th to 21st
The Airbnb in Didsbury was a basement suite with a private bathroom. The room was cold even with the heaters. The Host was nice, We kept missing each other, but she put notes to every important thing like coffee, pancakes/bagels n Netflix. She even said she had made spaghetti whilst we slept, to grab some n eat…O boy, that one, no thank you. Our luggage arrived the next day, they had called our friend, who then called us via WhatsApp to get the door. It was raining n the cold was crazy! I ran back inside even with my sweater on n allowed my Husband to carry the boxes in. We survived on fried ukwa and groundnuts. Our Host was a Board game master. She has about 107 games, we played a lil before we left on Sunday.
Our friend still insisted on picking us up!� We were so happy cos our Host told me that she doubts about getting an get an Uber in the area. So he did come, long drive back to town, we had an appointment with a landlord, went very well. We signed the lease, to begin Aug 1. Meanwhile, we weren’t sure of when we could move in, we were told a week after, so the new Airbnb was 6 nights @ $146. Right now, might have to get another Airbnb till month end which is 4 nights, unless the tenant leaves this weekend. We went grocery shopping for some snacks n toiletries at a Superstore nearby. He took us to his house, had a joyous dinner of Jollof Rice, Turkey n Salad. His beautiful wife even arranged a take away pack on our way. That was breakfast the next day.

Sunday 21st to date
[b][/b]Our Host is from Georgia and has few Naija friends. He is a friendly fellow n very chatty. He was happy to have us around. The room here was warmer and on a top floor. We slept well without a blanket.
[/b]
[b]Monday was our first experience using the Calgary Transit to down town. Bus was $3.40. I put in $10, expecting change….that was when it hit me…No change in the transit. The $3.20 pained me cos I felt duped. Wasn’t going to make the same mistake coming back. We got to Service Canada for our SIN, then walked to CCIS, wasn’t funny. We first walked to 11th Ave SE, then figured it was SW, had to walk backwards, then beyond. We opened a new file there, n was briefed on our entitlements n packages. Was scheduled for an Employment counselling for next week. We couldn’t do our health cards (1138) Locating 1138 from 1111 wasn’t easy, no one to ask, everyone says goggle it. Unfortunately, we hadn’t gotten new sim cards, so we did it the hard way. Walked back up to where we knew and saw the 302 bus logo (6th Ave) to get a bus back to the Airbnb. The yams on my legs grew an inch thicker that day.

Tuesday was better…was scheduled for sim card and bank opening. We checked google map, It was a straight walk…TD, Freedom, then RBC for 20mins. So we chose to walk n gist. Pedestrians are the bosses here, we learnt that one on Monday, downtown. The cars will stop for you even before you consider crossing the road. It was around past 12pm, We were booked for a 4pm appointment @TD, so headed to Freedom Mobile. We chose Freedom mobile, paid $74 for sim card, data package n tax, subsequently, next 11 months will be charged @ $50 for 14gigs. You get this discount only in store n when you register a debit or credit card. The cashier used his credit card digits, while we paid him cash. You can check online for the compatibility of your phone with the network. I chose RBC, while my hubby chose TD. We wanted a variety of option. So, always opt for the Newcomers account for the discounts.
RBC offered unlimited everything for 1 year… then $10.95 per month on the chequing account. Also opened a savings account with no charge at all. Debit card to arrive later. Got a void cheque for my future employer as well as the direct deposit for the GST. Opened a USD account, and did a $100 bill deposit to test run it. I can toss the USD to the CAD account easily within the app and online banking.
TD offered less, no transaction charge for 6 months…then $15.95 monthly or downgrade to a package of $3.95 or $10.95 per month which is limited to just 12/25 transactions per month. Got a debit card immediately. Also opened a USD account with no charges too. A credit card of $500 will be available in 2 weeks. Its just good to have it to build credit history, avoid getting higher limits that tempt o. Please ask for clarification whilst opening the accounts, they have all the time to listen, its their work ni.
Do research before choosing, cos the process is not like ours in Naija, there are other banks to choose from, whichever works for you. Best Advice is to avoid credit cards from malls like Walmart, Canadian tyres etc. I have heard it from 3 different folks. Stick to banks alone.

Wednesday, around 1am woke up early, as I had fallen asleep after the walks around 6pm. Decided to write my experience so far. I will post the GST application to Winnipeg (to receive $70 every 3 months), and send my house address to CBSA via fax (Cargo Update). So, we have anunderstanding with the Landlord (Lady)…Onye Anambra, will try n transfer the rent n DD today, as we have set up bank accounts. I will also pick up my sim today or tomorrow…another $73 and wait for a phone ordered from kijiji.ca. The one we used yesterday (HUAWEI) is slightly compatible (data n text only). With the number gotten, we were able to add it in our bank opening accounts. These first days are cash intensive…so be ready. The update of Resumes begins today, as we have mobile numbers n home address now. Lemme try n sleep back. Everyday is a journey. Hoping for the Best!... love from Calgary❤❤❤…

I didn't want to address this but I will. Nigerians who live in Nigeria. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES/SITUATION. In the west people are not really judgmental about your personal life. As long as you stay in your lane and don't get in the way of someones life/money, the next person doesn't care about you. EVERY TIME I come on here, I constantly have to decode posts. After decoding a posts, I then say to myself "oh he/she is trying to do this. Why didn't they just say that ?" If the way you're trying to get into Canada is illegal and you want to legalize yourself for example, just say that. Someone reading your post may have been in that situation and found a way to legalize themselves. But when you're constantly taking in codes, they may not understand what you're trying to ask and not help.

For example she said this:" my problem is that I have 3 children who are bearing their father's surname and am like a single mother cause their father went to Europe when they were small and we didn't do traditional marriage or wedding all we did was normal introduction to our parents" What the fvck does this have to do with her question or migrating to Canada ? Is she ashamed to being a single mother ? You think the Canadian government gives a damn why you're a single mother ? All she had to say is that I'm a single mom of 3 trying to migrate to Canada under the caregiver program. Whats with the long talk my sista ? Ironically I have tried to get my cousin to Canada through the same route with a lawyer. I could have given her some advice/personal experience. Everyone should just be honest and direct with your questions. After-all, these are strangers on here. Who cares if they judge you.

alright pls give me the advise from your personal experience

maternal:
So you're a baby mama wanting to bring your pikin with you to Canada under the caregiver program ? Call it what it is. Canada can prove they're you're biological children. But I don't think you'd qualify under that program if you decide to bring your kids with you. Nigerians barely get a visa for that program. In fact I've never met a Nigerian who has.

lol ok let's watch and see ....I will shock you ..

Guys pls I need urgent ans ...am migrating to canada through the newly lunched caregiver program ....I have gotten a job remaining to apply for visa .....my problem is that I have 3 children who are bearing their father's surname and am like a single mother cause their father went to Europe when they were small and we didn't do traditional marriage or wedding all we did was normal introduction to our parents ...pls how am I going to prove to Canadian immigration that am the mother of the 3 children since we're are not bearing same surname .

Magnifico2000:
Is the caregiver job offer real? Someone told me about it but I thought the agent just wanted to swindle me of my hard earned money.
As regards your question, it is going to be tough to claim those kids as they don't have your surname. I believe there should be an affidavit to address that, stating the reasons why they (the kids) aren't having your surname. You can even back it up with blood group docs, medical certificates etc

it's real ...

I don't know if foreign trained nurses find it hard to break into the system in the US, but it's not difficult for them to practice in Canada. Only issue with Canada is that new nurses have to move to smaller cities/town to get stable jobs and better pay. There is an oversaturation of nurses in big Canadian cities.

As per practice..I cant say which country is best to practice; however, it is common for Canadian trained nurses to migrate to the US on TN visas, i believe due to the opportunity to work in different specilization.

my mum is a public health nurse with over 10years work experience. ..how can be migrate to canada and which province will be ok for her

What flight did you use and how was the experience?
I used South African Airways it wasn't the cheapest tho if I can remember Turkish was the cheapest but with longer hours followed by SAA which was 40hours it wasn't easy at all

LAGOS - JOHANNESBURG
check in went well and smooth no issue but always make sure you weigh your bags very well. we took off in the evening, the plane is a new one very neat and big with bug screen and port to charge phone we arrived early in the morning the duration was 6hours or so the food wasn't bad also for this leg. Before leaving Nigeria I was told to go and ask SAA if I can get hotel reservation in South Africa but I was told it's not possible due to not booking directly with them so painful. On getting to the Airport I asked the price of the hotel it was so expensive can't remember the price again its per hours not per day.the stopover was over 13hours imagine sitting down in a particular place for half a day and nothing to do just window shopping and walking around plus eating and the restaurant inside the airport was expensive I had breakfast and lunch there . the wifi at the airport is free for 4hours and it's not unlimited and to get more hours wasn't easy at all after using the 4 hours I was so bored

JOBURG TO PERTH
The plane was small, not neat and old and no port to charge phone very terrible. Didn't enjoy this leg at all I don't have much to say here anyway after picking up my bags I was asked to open my bags and my locust beans was seize and at the port of entry I was asked where I will stay and I told the lady can't remember the other question and that's was all. I checked in for my other flight going to Sydney, brought sim card and adaptor and I went to the gate sat on the chair and I connected to the fast internet I was so happy ehn the stopover was short but enjoyed it the leg from PERTH TO SYDNEY was so long can't believe 4 hours journey within a country that was when I realise that AUSTRALIA IS THE END OF THE WORLD

So tired right now will update the house with pictures later and more stories

pls choose for me between Australia and Canada which one is a better choice for student
