Very Nice bro. Makes sense. You will definitely get what you are looking for after this contract ends. See you in Missisauga.

DatechMan:
Thank you guys.

I have finally sought out the SIN issue.

The latest is that I moved from my airbnb room to a new place I found on kijiji here in Mississauga.

I have discovered that my profession( Field Maintenance Engineer [Telco]) is most similar to Field technician roles here. That is a bad news because most of the Field technician jobs here are low paying jobs. The jobs seem to be available but wtf. I attended Bell interview just this last week and I was disappointed when the pay was discussed. Even though I failed the interview due to driving test, I appreciate the experience. I was asked to come back for the driving test again when I have my Ontario G2 Licence. Lol
After Bell, I got about 2 more interviews. I skipped 1 of them because although it's Field Technician role, the pay to me, is not worth it.
May be it's ego, maybe it's not. I didn't take those jobs because I cannot be doing outdoor field work in this cryogenic weather for such pay. I cannot come and kill myself.
Well, I started working in a company this Monday. To me it's more of a survival job. The pay is $13.50/hr. The work is an 100% indoor job and it is not totally parallel with my field. What I do on most days on my new job is to check if the Returned products (phones+tabs) are working fine. It's a 3 month contract job, so I am still looking.
I am still brainstorming on my Canadian professional career. It will end in praises.

God Bless

I just dey shake head. Most expensive cost for transcript yet its a failed system
Bsbabe:
Mbah o. I completely disagree. That award is solely reserved for Ogun State University (at least that’s the name by which I knew it), now Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU). Transcript request is still pending since December last year. They said the new ‘madam’ in charge says they must look for the exam papers for verification and they are yet to find them. Same school that has issued transcript to me before (which I still have a copy of). And this is after paying N50k!!!

Thank God for foreign education. I would still have been jonesing outside the pool now. They are such a shame and a disgrace.

I just tire my Sis. I read it, shook my head and jumped pass. I can't even fathom how one can come to such a conclusion so confidently.


Bsbabe:
Are you the one in the marriage or is that your prayer for them? How can you state something so negative so categorically?

People make sacrifices for their families, especially their children on a daily basis and it is simply the business of the couple who have decided this is the personal sacrifice they will put in for their children. You do not know the foundation of their marriage and have no clue what they are about so to state categorically that their marriage will inevitably dissolve or to wish them such ill is just wicked and nasty.

No
QSola:
I have a question pls, does my friend still need a FBI PCC she has spent like 145 days(4 month plus) cummulatively n she was in the US when she got ITA does she still need the PCC too.
TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by yokus(f): 5:15am On Dec 11, 2017
This statement is relative. Many people that I know that migrated this year are doing very very well in Nigeria but want their Wife and Kids settled there. Though i get the point you are driving at.
maternal:
No sane person who's doing well in their country would even consider migrating. The fact you're thinking about migrating says a lot. Why not tell us what's disturbing you about naija then we can go from there. Help me help you.
TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/Federal Skilled Workers Program-Connect Here Part 3 by yokus(f):
Collectively, I have spent over 6months. Please do I need to get a FBI PCC?
@Godsaysyes

YES, you need to get fbi pcc. Download the forms here

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/police-certificates/how/united-states.html

Fill the forms, get finger prints on multiple cards and courier to the FBI address there. It costs $18
Takes 10 to 14weeks.
It is advisable to use a USA address for delivery, so that the person can scan and send to you as soon as it's delivered just to save time as sending to Nig may take a minute and it is the soft copy you need for the application.

Much respect for sharing this bro

Yea someone who got rejected for Fbi police cert clearance pcc also got his reopened.
I didnt request for mine to be reopened because i didnt know that i could do that but I'm also thankful i didnt, the 28days application time compensated the earleir rejection

Get a new passport. I think you shouldbe able to edit the passport details wheb you are feeling the EAPR. Not sure sha.
If EAPR has been submitted-get a new passport, get an affidavit and/police report that your passport was stolen. Raise cse upload tge new passport, affidavit and/police report that it was stolen and a letter of explanation

Apply with the current medical, proactively do another one once that expires in February- if you have not gotten PPR by then, raise CSE and send it with a letter of explanation. However if you get PPR before Feb, are you ready to land by Feb?

Chester2018:
Good evening my people,
Kindly assist with this dilemma.My wife did her medicals sometimes in February while applying for student visa which was not successful.Now we have ITA and we are meant to submit next week only to discover that her medical will expire in February(2 months time) and we can not do another one till it expires.
Please advise on this dilemma.

1. Work permit for spouse +visiting my son.+ Visiting for myself.
2. Visiting for all.
3.visiting for self and my son and later work permit for spouse.
4, PR straight for myself or for all .

@optionese has said it all, she will need to do medicals and get pcc whether you claim that she is accompanying you or not.
I believe you have to get her to do the medicals & pcc or get a formal separation to move on.

oluwashina1973:
Is it possible to apply as married and choose unaccompanied spouse. since she is not coming along better still not to do medicals or PCC for her.. she is abroad. Focus on just mine and move on without divorce or separation hoping for reconciliation in future.
Please confirm.
