Hi everyone,

My calgary people, does anyone have any advice or deals on mobile plans? Which is best between Fido, Koodo and Virgin? Thanks!

Bisunique25:
Good afternoon house, please I really your advice on a very crucial matter. Hubby and I have only the Nikkah marriage certificate, change of name affidavit and newspaper publication, and our proposed court wedding has been slated for late January next year. The issue now is that, there’s a high probability of us getting an ITA in the next draw which is before the court wedding. Should we use married or common law partner in our profile, as the court marriage certificate is not yet available. Please all suggestions will be highly welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for the response on my last question.

Is there any service canada in the airport. so i can get my SIN there ? is there any number to call?

If not, how strict is the quarantine law, can i drive to service canada and get my SIN, then go to my residence and begin my quarantine.

I just need to get the SIN quickly

Hey guys, can a newly landed PR use his pof to get a nice ride and start uber?

Estac:
I can't remember specifically but I think it was a little over CAD100

Estac:
Someone collected mine and sent it thru DHL, so I was keeping track of it until it got to my hands.

Onyeenyeh:
Not yet. Still showing that it is being processed.

Omzyj:
Hi all. Please is there December PPR member who sent his or her passport to Canada visa office Accra through VFS global Lagos and has gotten any update?

Onyeenyeh:
I haven't... I think with the public holidays and all it might be a bit longer.

WoodcrestMayor:
I did CSI's IFC(Investment Funds in Canada)

WoodcrestMayor:
The exam cost me a little over $500 because I added study packs to it for test simulations. If you go with the hard copy book, it is even more expensive. It's cheaper if you do just soft copy but i will advise anyone who wants to do it to add study pack.
CSC is IFC and more. In other words, it is more advanced...equities, derivatives etc.
If you just want to get in and move later, it might not be worth it stressing for the CSC. Most people I've met started with IFC though.

WoodcrestMayor:
I wouldn't say it's a major requirement but it sure is a good way to get in. It is mostly sales here so and the certification give you rights to talk about mutual funds which is a big part of the everyday sales here. There are tons of certifications you can look at as it solely depends on what area of banking you want to go into.
If you're aiming for something in Toronto Head offices, it will be a different ball game. I just did mine to get into the system. As soon as I settle well into the job, I'll start making career change moves. Everybody in my branch except the tellers have at least one sales certification. It's kind of regulated here so you need certifications for financial planning to be a financial planner etc.
For the question about entry, I don't really get what you mean by "...where entry seem much easier". I submitted my application in 2014 via the FSWP stream and I finally got my visa in 2018 . The idea then was that you could land anywhere. Has that now changed?
For the website, it is csi.ca. Take your time to read through the site as there are different career paths for the exams.

Engrs in the house, Pls asking for a friend. He has a Bsc degree from Uniben also a master's degree from The institute of Petroleum Studies (IPS) Port Harcourt. My question is can he verify the masters using ICES or jejely verify his Bsc.? ( He wants to be sure masters from IPS is recognised) He doesn't really need the added points for masters. He isn't the PA.

Much depends on your choice or what you feel you would enjoy most. Another factor is the time you are willing to put into the career change i.e time spent in school. 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 4 years.

In terms of job availability, It is easier to get health related jobs especially if you are willing to relocate to small cities and towns.

Depending on what type of healthcare job, pay can vary widely too. I dont know anything about firefighters as a career choice or how to go about getting into the path.

2. 12hrs day, and a 4 days/wk = 48hrs per week. Accepting an extra day of work (i.e 12hrs of overtime) would ensure atleast a total of 60hrs/week.
For those on 8hrs day and a 5days/wk, workers would add atleast 1hr OT before start and 3hrs OT after close making total of 60hrs/week too.
Note: OT in the tech/Engineering are mostly double the current hourly rate.

4. Salary are usually fixed monthly and often based on promotions.

5.
-Some for the passion
-for some, mom and pop told them that's the way to go
-some for the title
-some drank the cool aid
-Some just want to earn a living wage
etc

Every one gets a good work life balance.
Techs often times need mandatory professional development too depending on the type of job you fo or industry you work in.

Just a few examples
If you are in pipelines, your employer would push for Nace 1, 2 and 3
Welding Inspection: Welding inspector level 1, 2 and 3
Ndt: UT, MT, X-ray etc level 1, 2 and 3 or the API's for pipelines/pressure vessels
Power/stationary operators and engineers: 4th class, 3rd, 2nd, 1st.
Electric testing: Neta level 1, 2 and 3.
Civil techs: Concrete/Ashpalt certifications CCIL cat 0, 1, 2

Employers would often give a deadline to attain a certain level of competence or be sacked.

You musn't provide tax, payslips slips shouls suffice, and for vetassess it is very important for your occupation to be closely related with what you studied. You can check the SOL?CSOL list to be sure that what you want to apply for is closely related with what you studied and what you are currently practicing.

@Sylokobi,

Only South Australia sponsors financial investment adviser and you must have 75 points to be nominated as it is on special conditions.

Customer service manager is also on special conditions and only on 489 visa.

If you think you can meet up to 75 points, you can go ahead with the assessment.

If you are married, your husband can be the principal applicant if he has his occupation on the list.
