Hello everyone,

Please I am landing next week in YZ Pearson as a PR with my wife and kid.

Would I need to show the proof of funds again on our arrival ?

They asked me oooo. Before then I thought they don't ask cos I haven't heard or seen anybody asked. However, I had more than enough money both in cash and bank so I showed them. Don't know what would have happened if I didn't have the money.

My advice to you is go with the complete money, don't take chances. Canada is becoming aggressive on immigration lately.

Hello guys,

Please, how do I apply for jobs asides the conventional job sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. I'm a Digital Marketing professional but I'm open to basic jobs because I'm here on studies.

Thank you.

CsRockefeller:
Wow!! Nice to . Read a few pages and I love the contributions from one particular handle (can't your handle right now).

I have so many questions. So many questions. And so many questions. However, I'll start with the ones important to my survival.

I've been on this journey for some time (3 years). Initially planned it with a lady I met here on NL, before she had other plans. I'm a student, though in my early 30s, but that's not a bother.

First question - How easy is it to get a citizenship by marriage? In order words, are the indigenes (Blacks and White) open to relationships with Nigerians? I pray God shouldn't bring a Nigerian lady near me ever!!

Secondly, I'm into Tech/I.T and I'm also very physical (strength dey body to do physical work), I drive too by the way. I'm aware I can't work more than 24hrs a week, does that include those sides gigs and online jobs?

Nice to be part of this community. By God's grace, I'd be in Niagara soon.

A friend of mine is moving to Canada (Wetaskiwin, Alberta) by October.

He's looking to secure an accomodation before he lands.

Any suggestions and hints will be appreciated

While I understand the desire to encourage new immigrants, this your post is misleading… except the d video explained more(I didn’t watch it).
(1) Hantie Pharmacist, did you just wake up and start to apply for digital marketing without the requisite experience and certification? I doubt you did…it would have helped to mention trainings/courses you did to set yourself up for success in the new field if your intention really is to help than refer to an unverifiable link/video(Click at your peril)

(2) Wetin off me is the ‘money back guarantee’ no vex. Which one is it? The digital marketing training or actual job? You wan work for free before? Again misleading.

Thinking of relocating or newly relocated to a new country? Then this is for you.
My name is Adenike, a licensed pharmacist from Nigeria newly relocated to Canada….Guyyyyyyssssss, I found the goldmine in digital marketing. Now, I was very sceptical because there are a lot of scam jobs online and also scam digital marketing jobs. So, I went into full research mode. LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, carefully listening to what they had to offer, making sure our values aligned because as a child of God I was committed to only doing what was legitimate. Finally found the one that worked for me, it came with a MONEY BACK GUARANTEE also, integrity and transparency at its peak so I went for it and it is not restricted to only Canada. FAITH OVER FEAR. The goal is to win on all sides….a short video would be sent to you which explain all you need to know at no cost and you can make your decision to either make a move or stay still. God bless you.

Her story was getting exciting until i saw the remaining part.

Hi everyone, I have a question; I guess our bosses @salford, @megastu, @ednut, among others will be able to draw from their experiences and share helpful insights.
So I was on a call with a friend who works as a Senior Business Analyst for a Big Pharma, and we were discussing about how attainable a salary threshold of 200kcad per annum is. I even whimsically chipped in the case of a family friend who works as a Director of Strategy for PWC and how I’m certain she earns way more than that. I was shocked when my statement was returned with a hysterical laughter and how that threshold is almost a pipe dream in Canada. Bottom line is he claimed people who earn that in Canada can be literally counted with your fingers and how he has never met anyone who earns that high in his 10-year career.

I’d like to ask if what he said is true; how attainable is the 200k salary threshold? All comments are welcome.

Director in Strategy in PwC earns over $200k. That I'm sure of. Some Senior Managers in Strategy earn over $200k too.

Wetaskiwin? Jesus Christ! Your friend could use Rentfaster+Wetaskiwin (maybe few houses are listed).
Just that it is a very small remote county, so the landlords would unlikely rent to someone abroad. But try!

Seems all jobs here require at least a Drivers License G. How do I go about it?

The info I'm seeing online is too ambiguous. I have a drivers license from Nigeria but due to expire in October this year. Do I also need to have a personal car to acquire this license?

Thanks.

Mr director,How many Nigerians in Canada earn above 200k a year? Stop deceiving yourself and live your life so you don’t give yourself high blood pressure chasing unrealistic wages as a new immigrant!

Not all jobs require a driver’s license.

If a job does require a driver’s license, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to own a car. Heard some companies provide work vehicles.

Additionally, owning a car is not a requirement to obtain a driver’s license.

That's quite a snide comment. Dude expressed a basic opinion, which could be a fact. There's no way you could have understood that as "pressuring". Maybe you needed to change your perspective reading that.

I have very thorough experience with Agriculture Production and istration, I am a handyman - so I like to work outdoors.

Hello Everyone,

I urgently need advice. So I'm trying to book my flight to Edmonton using Ethiopian Airlines and I can see that there are three stops. The first one at Addis Ababa, the second one in Rome and the last in Toronto, where I'll board a connecting flight to Edmonton.

I'm a bit concerned about the one stopping for one hour at FCO Rome, because I don't know if I will need a transit visa.

I've tried looking online but can't really see anything and it's my first time flying, that's why I'm a little concerned.

Anyone who flew this route or knows about this, please help.

It used to be Dublin. Now, it's Rome.
You will likely be inside the plane and not descend. The plane, I think, is only stopping for refuelling. So, you have no reason to be worrying about transit visa. If you actually needed a transit visa, Ethiopian would have indicated it.

True, most managers do not earn 200k. Range is usually between 80-160k. Manager na just tag. Though some senior senior managers may get big bonuses and extra cash from profit sharing taking their total earnings above the 200k mark.

I work in the health sector and we have Nigerian doctors, nurses earning 200k-500k

99% of them immigrated 15-30years ago.....make new immigrant chasing 6figures no kill themselves o.

100k is 68k at the end of the year 50k is 37k.

50k may get around 6-10k from the govt depending on family size. Taking total earning to 47k.

100k gets nothing..

Good day, I don't know if you still went with Concordia University. But I have a question please.

I recently got ission to the Concordia in Montreal and I have accepted the ission. But it brings no place for me to pay the deposit. I've also emailed the school about it but no response yet. I would like to know if you also encountered the same problem.

new immigrants want promotion every year ( associate director, manager , senior manager etc.) Now layoffs dey hit left right and centre. Everyone is watching his or her back 😭😂

We want to rush to buy house after 6 months in Canada despite not understanding the costs involved and interest rate risks.

Last last you collect that 6 figures salary, lose out on most of the subsidies and benefits. And later see what government is using some of the taxes for 😂

geekybabe:

Landed in CA about 6 months ago in March as PR. Its been a long ride , finding a good job in my field (Data ) and finally settling in. I got my first job offer in June, resumed in July, and then another one I started in August.ome info useful from my experience.

Hello, congratulations on you new role. I sent a pm earlier today. Please I just need 5 minutes of your time on how you navigated the data space in cañada

Those nurses making 200K must be nursing practitioners. I have not met RNs making 200K. A hard working doctor will easily make 200K no matter when they migrate to Canada provided they are qualified and have full license.

A family with $140,000 income may still get around $5,000 child care benefit a year.

RN (travel nurse) : Depending on experience. Some earn above 250k per year.

5k in which province..

Whao. We learn each day. I only know RNs that won't consider traveling nurse option.

The $5K a year is the Canada child benefit for a family of 4 with family income of $140K irrespective of the province they reside. One child is less than 6 and the other is between 6 and 12. The amount changes with age.
