If you are in Toronto, you can try downloading triplinx app or you can just visit the website to plan your trip. I found out that it's more accurate than Google maps and it also tells you how much each trip will cost.

Hi, unfortunately because of strict SLAs that transit operators have, they wont stop for you once the doors are shut and/or they are in drive procedure to the next scheduled stop, operative word being 'scheduled'. Even if the bus is empty, the driver is obligated to stick to schedule/procedure or risk work demerits points on his record for stopping for you. The exceptions are trafiic incidents which they have to radio in to their base. Some busybody around who is not even on the bus may report him to his transit service for stopping outside schedule so, we learn to always arrive at the bus stop earlier than we need to be and retain some of our old Oshodi Oke bus jogging/hopping skills to catch up

I don't think you can get a flu shot without OHIP. Unless you wanna pay out of pocket, then you can probably ask if they have that option available. I may be wrong though.

I also got the same PPR mail, well, I observed that one can send to the nearest VAC in section 1 (preferred). so i sent to Ghana immigration office.
secondly, I noticed that It is a major requirement to send your package through aramex to dubai officeand to best of my knowledge, they are not in Abuja cos that is where i reside.

anyways just sent mine today and hoping for a positive outcome.

For those who sent their passports(after PPR) via VFS, kindly assist so can advise my friend properly

1. Is it truly cheaper than DHL service (cost wise) for a single passport
2. Can someone go and send & pick up the passport on her behalf?
3. Would she need to give the sender/proxy any consent/authorization to send & pick at VFS
4. How long did it take for VFS to return your passport

Thank you

URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED!!!
My family friend, who is a widow with two children, she lost her husband 6 years ago, she remarried before landing in Canada (she went to registry just a week before she landed), but she didn't update her information online that she has remarried. So when she landed, they asked her if she remarried and she said yes and brought out the wedding certificate. They seized her documents from her and asked her to come back today..it was there they told her it was misrepresentation and why didn't she update her status, and so they asked her to go back to Nigeria or bring her lawyer by tommorrow...please what can she do?

Hello everyone!

Please I am in urgent need to get these questions answered.

1. What is the best way to travel with my POF? Can I deposit it in a US Dollar Domiciliary account? You can carry cash, you can open a Canadian account (RBC) before you arrive, you can leave it in your dorm and then transfer when you get here (If you have someone to help you).

2. Is it better to rent a place to live from Naija or to get to Canada first? Rent a temp accommodation but if you can get a lease before you arrive, it's best. It makes all the forms you fill so easy and your kids can start school almost immediately. But it's hard to get. Mostly, someone will guarantee you with their credit records and employment history.

3. Who has any info about Etobicoke area. Is is a nice place to live? I think it's a part of the Toronto area. I believe Etobicoke is the former name. It's like living in city centre.


4. Where is the best place to purchase travel health insurance in Naija, or it's not necessary for Canada? I don't have confidence in Naija insurance at all. Canadian is sure.

May God bless whoever responds to my questions abundantly. (and others too)

wholesomegrace:
Hello house, please can someone recommend where I can scan documents wider than the usual A4 size i.e marriage certificate and newspaper publication on name change in Lagos (between and Gbagada and Ikeja axis). Business centers around my area can only reduce the size and photocopy for me. I'm really not sure if this will be acceptable. Please assist.

Thanks

Prognose:
We've all heard the saying.

What a man can do, a woman can do better.

And some of us actually take this saying seriously.

I mean, it's pretty obvious it's a lie. Why do we like to believe such blatant lies.

I guess it's a way to try and kick up the morale of the female species. Make that feel powerful and relevant in all spheres of life apart from the kitchen and the oza room.

But seriously I think we have grown psychologically as a race to the point where we know that there are things men do best and there are things specially designed for women to do. Like give birth. Or cook. Or take care of the kids.

They can even help in a little manual labour, but pets face it, when it comes to physical output most women are not equipped at all.

I'm sitting in my office looking out at the construction of a parking lot taking place on the ground below. Some bank offered to tile the parking space and hired this C5 construction company. All the manual labour I'd being done by youths. Every day about a hundred youths show up by 8am and they work till 2pm or thereabouts and then they get paid and leave. The youths comprise of about 70% females and 30% males, about 3 females to every male. Out of curiosity I asked the manager why this was so. She said it had to do with gender cachement or some other, I didn't quite get it. But the funny thing is this.

Every morning the ladies come to work by 8am. In fact the females are more punctual than the males. The guys start arriving by 8.30 -9. The work does not start until then. The ladies hang around and gist and paint their nails until the guys come.


Then all the females gather round the males and watch them mix the cement and carry sand. One or two females help but that's it. Then the guys mix the sand and cement and begin to lay it out on the floor day by day while the ladies go back to sitting in herds and pointing at their favorite male labourer (the most popular one is Akpan , a muscular fellow ).


Once three girls attempted mixing the cement and laying it on the floor. It was comical to watch. After three trips the first one lay on the floor exhausted. The others quietly dropped their buckets and shovels and winked at some of the guys who immediately sprang to their aid.
At the end of the day the supervisor comes to mark register and all the females rush to mark their names while the males wait wearily behind.

But the funny thing is, no one is complaining. The males get a chance to show off their muscles to the girls and the females gist and make their nails and generally have a good time. And maybe Akpan gets a happier ending at home with a lady later that night. That is the natural order of things and all is right with the world.
Did you actually read this to the end? You deserve a prize! Go out and buy yourself something
