Hi everyone. I would like to ask for advice and how to go about this. I am 64, a lawyer and consultant. I am looking for job opportunities in Canada. I have Masters (2) and certifications plus rich experiences and expertise. I would like to ask if there are job sites or anything you can refer or advice me to do for immigration please? I heard the PR route may not favour me because of age. Any advice is well appreciated. Thank you.

The Law!

Why not sponsor your children to come if they are of age?

I think it will make it a lot easier for you.

All the Best Boas

Good evening everyone. Please, I need advice as this is my first time here and I don’t even understand most of the acronyms being used.

I’m 29 yrs and I studied mechanical engineering, currently working in a very good paying company in Nigeria but with the insecurities and devaluation of the naira with its less purchasing power, I’m not sure where this country is going and would love to opt out now that I have the funds and I’m relatively still young. I know nothing of this PR process or what to expect over there if there are good jobs and stuff. I hope to start reading this thread by tonight from the first page to gain some insight but is Canada really worth it please? I need genuine advice so I don’t make a life mistake here.

PS; I currently earn between 500k to 1m monthly. Thanks guys 🥹🙏🏾

. Good pay...Read from page 1 to understand more....Some people are still thriving in Nigeria despite all the issues and a lot of immigrants are doing fantastically well in Canada...Your mindset matters and the vision that you have for yourself.

All the best

Solape Ademulegun-Agbi
Solape Ademulegun-Agbi

Thirty-eight years after, the ghost of the January 15, 1966 coup of the “five-majors” is yet to be exorcised.

The daughter of Brigadier-General Samuel Ademulegun, the then GOC Ist Division, Kaduna, has narrated how Nzeogwu made her and her siblings orphans during the ill-fated coup. Today, Mrs. Solape Ademulegun-Agbi, proprietress of Hillcroft Schools, may be a fully-grown woman. But the trauma of having both parents shot in her presence has left an indelible mark. Reacting to a story captioned, Return My Son’s Body, Nzeogwu’s Mother Begs Obasanjo, recently published in Saturday Sun, Ademulegun-Agbi said that Nzeogwu’s mother wanted her son to be treated as a hero, whereas he could actually pass as a villain.

But her sores were made the more painful when she recalls that Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu was a welcome guest who always relished a meal of pounded yam any time he came calling at the Ademuleguns.
She spoke to Daily Sun. Excerpts:
General Ademulegun
My dad is everything you would love in a father. Very caring, hardworking and dedicated. He was in love with horse-riding and he made sure I owned one. I named my horse Santana. I used to ride Santana to school in those days, so when the Volkswagen Santana came into the market, it really brought back memories of those days. As a typical Ondo man, my dad was fond of eating pounded yam with the full complement of cow-leg. Generally, he was a wonderful father who more often than not, hoisted me on his broad shoulders. These are some of the memories that have kept me going all these years.
The 1966 coup
My parents, Brigadier-General Samuel and Hajia Latifat Ademulegun were killed during the 1966 coup. That particular experience was quite traumatic and I have never been able to overcome it. At a point, I had phobia for anything military. My dad was the then General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1st Division, Kaduna and his army number was N3 which makes him the third highest-ranking officer in the Nigerian Army. Major Nzeogwu was a welcome guest in my parents’ home. He will always come to our house for steaming hot meal of pounded yam. Being Ondo State indigenes, pounded yam was a regular meal in my mother’s kitchen. On the day of the coup, Nzeogwu came calling with some other soldiers in the wee hours of the day. I think they were about six soldiers. As an impressionable young girl of six, that was quite a number. There were guns everywhere. I remember vividly that I was down with chicken pox, so I had the opportunity of sleeping in my parents’ room. My immediate younger brother was also sleeping soundly in a cot in the same room. But when Nzeogwu came in, there was little talking. I even called him uncle, but he was the one that shot my mother in the chest. She didn’t die immediately, but she was rolling on the floor, gasping and bleeding. With the last ounce of her breath, she was calling “Kole, Kole” (my immediate elder brother whose room was nearby). But my brother never heard because he hid under his bed when the gunshots were booming. I don’t know who killed my dad because he was dragged out of the bedroom. The batman, who was in the boys quarters polishing my dad’s shoes, and our housemaid, one Gbelle, shepherded us out of the bedroom. These memories are ever so green in my heart. A child remembers bad things more than the good.
Life after the coup
We were really devastated by the events that took place, but the Army rallied round us. Major-General Aguiyi Ironsi’s wife came and took us away from the house. From there we were taken to Lagos. The military catered for our upkeep right to our first degree in the university. Since then, we have not fared badly. My elder brother, Group Captain Frank Ademulegun, now deceased, was the only one who joined the armed forces. My other siblings are doing well both in private and government circles. The military officials and the Ondo State government really tried for us. I also give them a pass mark for immortalising my father’s name. My dad has a street named after him in Abuja and the Ikeja Cantonment. There is also a cenotaph in his honour in Ondo Town. At an auspicious time, we plan to chronicle a biography of our parents.
Nzeogwu and family
I am not supposed to harbour grudges as a Christian. But the fact will always remain that Nzeogwu was instrumental to the death of my parents in the ill-fated coup. Nzeogwu's mother wants to portray her son as a hero, while in some quarters the word villain is actually apt. I don’t know what the hue and cry is all about. The government too buried my parents. I actually commend the government for burying him (Nzeogwu ) since he died in active service, so to say. Now, we are talking of exhuming a body some 30 years after. It is ridiculous. The family should let sleeping dogs be. Nzeogwu’s mother should just relax, hoping for a re-union with her son some day, if such a thing is tenable in the spirit world. I think we should just move on. We have the retrogressive penchant of dwelling too much in the past.
Military rule
A lot of shine has been taken off the military. In the past, the military man was someone to be admired, a gentleman to the core, one to be emulated. But things are no longer the same these days. To me, it doesn’t matter who rules as far as there is safety of lives and property; freedom of speech and movement. Democracy is good, but it comes with its own problems. During the military regime, there was sanity in the land. Things were done right with military precision. But since it is a mark of civilisation to be democratic, then so be it. But to me, it doesn’t really matter who rules as far as the machinery of government is oiled effortlessly to the benefit of all citizens.

How I Helped My Sister With Food Items And Accessories To Take To Canada.
Recently, my sister escaped from this hard country to Canada for greener pastures. Many of you knew me on this site as that young girl with sharp mouth. Well, I may be choleric but I m also nice.
So this February, sister went to Ontario. I knew she'd miss home. I went to Wuse market and nearby street shops n bought varieties. I waka-waka my rubber slippers cut. My sister is a picky type that eat light foods but she still love our local dishes. She's going to miss home 😭 and I just want her to v her favorite foods as long as she can. Though she can patronize African stores over there too.
As I m typing this, I can't wait to see her, am so happy for her and I hope to relocate too via marriage in future. Hm, God when?

Anyways I ll list some of the items as I post them here. They are educative and useful for people going abroad too. There are some items you can take along like razor blades, shaving sticks, stock fish, palm oil, locust beans, garri, beans, rice, onions, matches, polish, makeup props, grinded beans for moinmoin or akara, crayfish, beans, balls, sellotape, dried pepper, potash, bathroom slippers, cleansers, needles and threads to sew post letter tear-tear undies or clothes. 😂 In fact, just carry any small daily use item we use here and conceal them well cos of over sabi long throat immigration officers at airport. It ll shock you you can buy a packet of blade that's not up to N1,000 for over $20 Canadian dollars, that's over N20K in Nigeria. Imagine blade pack kan for N20K? It no shock you?
So below are items I packed for her and she's enjoying them there. 😂

Pic 1, Carton of coaster biscuit, table size mortar and pestle for her to grind pepper and packs of match sticks.

...You are a good sister, and I pray that you will meet and get marry to a guy that will love you wholeheartedly.

Looking at your pictures and post,I know without doubt that your culinary skills will be top-notch

✓Please can one withdraw an application at AOR stage without losing the application fees?

✓For applicants who did upfront medical test for FSW in August,2023 but got ITA and AOR say five months after...Any possibility of IRCC extending the medical test??

InyinyaAgbaOku:
With recurrent expenditure almost 50% , I don't have high hopes for the state development.
Obviously, there are lots of irrelevant civil servant positions needing financing.

Abia state budget will continue to beat every budget out there with 84% of the budget being alloted to capital expenditure, this will yield profits that will be used to finance the loans .
Only 16% is for recurrent expenditure, now that's a good one.

...Abia state is working hard to plunge the state into a future of hardship by borrowing 84% of its budget.

This is why our leaders take us for granted, very ridiculous behavior.


I've never seen americans and europeans doing such thing

I am not a beggar. It is a loan I will surely pay back. Why can’t he just say he can’t lend me , instead of playing my life like long tennis

....Does he needs to say it again.... You have been following him upandan for 2 years and he hasn't granted your request and you don't have sense to move on Me think...you have no plans of repaying the loan that's why your uncle is reluctant to help...In fact, relatives are the worst set of people to lend money to....Most are terrible.

So Europe will leave European country that have level ground trade to buy from west Africa?
Like Nigeria will leave what it can get very cheap in Ghana and go to France for it, right?
No wonder they said I am dunce.

Whether it entered Spain from Nigeria isn't the matter. The koko is Spain is among the world's largest producer of tigernut. Digest that.

Europe hardly buy anything from West Africa except natural resources if they will even buy.

That is how useless west Africa is on the scheme of world politics.

...Your post speaks to your mindset.

In addition,I would advise you paraphrase the below sentence like this:
"No wonder they said I am dunce"

Are you coming to Toronto through Montreal? You can use VIA, just package your stuff.

..No,my destination is Ottawa.

Going to Ottawa from Lagos..I am just looking at reducing the cost on airfares

ednut1:
Montreal airport is closer to Ottawa about 2 hours. Toronto airport is about 5 hours .

....As a new comer,I am coming with loads..Can one board the train with loads? Is it allowed

ednut1:
Montreal airport is closer to Ottawa about 2 hours. Toronto airport is about 5 hours .

. Thanks so much

Good day great people.

Thanks for the previous responses.That has helped in many ways. Ottawa is among my shortlisted desired locations.

Ottawa actually comes first in most indices that I considered as per information garnered from here.However,I am shocked to see that airfare to Ottawa from Lagos is almost double the airfare to Toronto from Lagos.

My questions;

✓Please what is the best way to save cost on airfares.

✓Is it advisable and cheaper I fly to Toronto and take another flight or even a BUS to Ottawa??

✓Is it better to fly from Lagos to Montreal and get another flight or even a BUS to Ottawa?


@everyone . Thanks so much

Hmm. I was just thinking aloud, but does Africa have any defense system that's as good as the Iron Dome? If not, is there anythin' close? If 5,000 rockets were aimed at Africa, would they just sit there and watch people die, or would they do somethin' to stop it?

...Wetin Africa want take defense system do when Odeshi dey

Please can you assist with your plug to conclude my PCC in lagos. I have been waiting to get called for biometrics.

...As soon as the second stage is passed and ticked..you can go for your biometrics...You need not wait for any call as nobody will call you.

olumii:
This is the second stage and it wont likely move from this stage unless you use a plug. They will tell you to wait for 3-4 days that it would move but most times, it wont.

Next stage is for you to go for biometric capture once it moves from this stage. Which State are you in, Lagos?

... That's a blatant lie...You don't need any plug!

Give it max of 24 hours...the second stage will be ticked and it will move to the third stage.

for EE to work at even age 40 it must be PNP. even with 8 ielts, masters plus bilingual status its still very difficult. go ahead & use crs calculator before dishing out misleading info. if EE was that easy, no one will use these expensive school pathways

... Writing with confidence despite being extremely ignorant. Any person that's 40+ that has Master plus IELTS and a good bilingual status is as good as getting PR through EE.

NaijaRealtor:
1. Right from when she was about three years old, she would always pray for me to make it so she can come stay with me.

2. Been married for like 7 years and we have 3 kids. My wife was on my neck to bring my niece to come stay with us so she can assist with helping to look after the kids once they all return from school.

3. Because I know how many ladies treat children that aren't theirs, I refused to bring my niece over. So after much pressure from my wife, I approached my sister and her husband and pleaded to allow me train her as she'd always prayed.

4. Weeks after her arrival, my wife started complaining about her attitude and stuff. I refused to yield to my wife's suggestions that I take my niece back. It almost caused quarrel between us.

I felt it was too early to judge her. She's just 12 years old.

Her Attitudes:

A. She would fold and keep pants stained with my 1 year old poop in the laundry basket until it starts bringing out maggots, then we would search the whole house for the source of the foul smell until we find it and throw away affected clothes, disinfect the house and all.

B. She, yesterday wiped my 6 years old son with iron buckle on the belt and his head nearly burst open. He complained of severe headache and we are still treating him.

C. Final straw was, while we were in the office today, my 6 years old started to throw up. He was sick. This girl just laid on the couch and instructed a 6 years old to go fetch the broom, mopping stick and packer to clean the mess.

My son was very weak, but he went to fetch these items and cleaning the vomit. Because he was very sick, he kept on throwing up and cleaning at the same time. All these while, this girl laid there relaxing until my wife came home and washed my son up and cleaned the floor.

When I came back this evening and learnt about the stuff, I quietly asked her why she'd behaved like that and she said it was nothing.

I really don't know whether to let her stay while I try to coach her or take her back to her parents.

I seriously need advice.

Sorry for the long epistle.

..Your niece is a wicked person... Inasmuch as she might be dissatisfied that you brought her to your house without enrolling her in any school...She is a wicked person and might end up harming your family.

You know the issues with men most times is that they are always slow in taking decision most especially when it involves such matters.

Kindly scout for another nanny...
