Afolavid:


A printed or even hand-written receipt is acceptable, as long as it is duly completed and signed by both parties.

Thanks a lot for this.

Can such a receipt be tendered to an employer for reimbursement? I know they are used to seeing hotel and airbnb receipts but not many handwritten notes from landlord?

Except OP has been paying cash, bank statement extract is also a good ing document

It depends on the employer, I think they all have their T&Cs regarding reimbursement. I believe if you paid via your bank, a bank extract showing the payments combined with that would work as safex mentioned. If it's by cash, I really can't say for sure.

But in my own case, I had handwritten receipts for my previous apartment and I was able to use it just like normal receipt.

The payment is via e-transfer to the landlord's .

Even better, you would be fine!

Ensure you add notes that suggest it's your rent to the transfer if you've not been doing so

Please guys what's the best and quickest way to get into trades (plumbing, welding, etc) in Canada?

Is it through apprenticeship or doing a trades course in college?

Hi Guys, someone that has visit visa, can she book either of these airlines. Lufthansa, Klm or Air?

Hello, just wanna make an inquiry and would be glad if i can get a response. So I’ll be traveling to Nigeria soon from Montreal and I’ve got a connecting flight to which people said I should be good since i will stay at the airport, but the problem lies in the return ticket which i used KLM airlines, i have a 10 hr stop over at Amsterdam Netherlands, and i heard some people said they’re not sure if i will be able to stay at the airport without having a connecting visa, anybody had similar experience and what they did? Thanks in advance

I have a fully furnished ensuite room with a smart TV (Netflix available) and working table/chair in my home/house for a short stay (Sept to Dec 2023). Kitchen and laundry will be shared. The house is within GTA and precisely in a quiet neighbourhood in Bowmanville Durham Region, Ontario. Anyone interested can reach out to me. We can accommodate for just a month if that's what works for you till you find a permanent place to settle. There are only 3 individuals in the house (a four bedroom detached house) for now (Husband, wife and mother)

Meanwhile, there's a running scam in such schools where, in the end, both the school and the referrer just want to dip their hands into your student loan. [s]Some of the students don't even go to school after collecting the student loan. And then, someone will now go and use the student loan to make a down payment for a house[/s]. What kind of foolery is that? You take a loan and use it to go "take another loan", so to speak. But Nigerians have never surprised me with their foolery. On the one hand, you'll be paying the student loan and on the other the mortgage. Later you will say your village people followed you to Canada and can't quit the Amazon warehouse job that you must hold to keep up payments! Crazy!

Just a note here, it's not possible to use a student loan to make a down payment for a house. The loan is not paid to the student's , it is paid directly to the school and in batch payments.

What people use for down payment is the grant. The grant depends on your course, family size and your net income from last tax year. I have a friend who got a total grant of $36k (family of
4). The $36k he got included grant from canada govt, province and school grant. His total fees was around $19k for a 2years course. 36k is enough for down payment for a 3bed town house in most of the province except ON. Also this 36k is not paid once, it's in batches across the 2years.

I did a top course last year and got a grant of $6k, it was just a 3months top up course. I was new in canada and have 0 income from previous year, so I qualified for some grants, same for my friend. Best time to get grants is when you're new in canada with small income, so you get a lot of benefits that are for low income earners. Once you start earning above 20k per year, grant go decrease o

If someone collects a loan and does not go to the school, there are implications, such individual must return the full amount that has been paid within 1month I think, this is stated clearly on studentaid Websites.

Also students now have up to 1year grace after the completion of their studies to start payments, in total students have 9years to pay back. Some people pay as low as $50 per month depending on the loan amount.

How much is it?

I need a candid advise. My sister studied nursing in Uk and currently works there. Few years back she wanted Canada but she had to switch to uk due to Canada stringent rules. Now she don graduate and come dey work for uk as nurse. She has intentions of moving to US or Canada but lately she seems to be drifting towards Canada. Health workers are highly in demand in Canada and everywhere. She has ruled out student route, While we are eyeing PR route, CAN SHE GET A JOB IN CANADA FROM THE UK?. Because many people have said it's impossible because she's outside canada. So I want those of you in canada for opinion. CAN SHE GET HER HEALTHCARE JOB IN CANADA FROM UK

The answer is mostly no. She won't be able to get, better for her to check usa. Canada is proud... lol. If she wants to come here as PR, she can take up a psw job first and later look into nursing.

She won't be able to get a sponsored psw or nursing job from uk.

The best person to answer you is someone who has been in similar shoes as your sister and that is a UK- trained nurse. I advice your sister to the "British expats in Canada" facebook group. There are loads of UK-trained nurses who have migrated from the UK on that group. Therein will lie her answer. Share your experience here when you get an answer.

Good morning everyone. Has anybody with former international port (without NIN on it) get their port stamped recently by IRCC?

That is the type of port I submitted to VFS because it's still valid for 3 more years but this delay at IRCC office is getting worrisome.

Lol your type of port has NOTHING to do with IRCC. But if it makes you feel better. Yes. I got mine stamped recently.

I just saw that you’re moving to Calgary. My family and I are based in Calgary and we’ve been here for over 24 years now. Do let me know if you need any assistance in settling in Calgary once you arrive. Also my church offers free settlement services and provides assistance with securing accommodation and help with resume for job search. Let me know if you need more details.

So sorry I only saw this today.We came to Calgary(end of May) but couldn't find an accomodation for two weeks so we moved to Edmonton.All is good here, my wife has found a job, and with my online gig we are pretty comfortable.However I'm in search for a job in cloud computing preferably remote, but it's hard to come by.Rarely any decent tech jobs here,and I'm open to moving back to Calgary if I can find a very well paid on-site job.

Congratulations on your landing. May Maple land favour you and yours.

Out of curiosity, why are you mulling moving back to Calgary knowing fully well that things are cheaper in Edmonton as well as the cost of living being lower in Edmonton?

Good morning guys, I am currently in England and since I came here I have been working zero hours contract jobs which means No employment letters or contracts, and my employers can’t offer one . Can my payslip be used to replace this?
