Good morning everyone, hope this message meet everyone of you well. Please I'm here to seek everyone's sincere opinion and advice most especially the professional ones in this group. Me and my wife are considering to migrate to Canada even though I have been researching on the easiest paths we can explore to make the process seamless in of time and financial affordability but I consider it necessary to come here to seek more opinion and advice to make us make informed decision. Please below is our profile:
Husband:
Educational background: BSc psychology (2.2)
Age: 42 Work Experience: Business/trader no formal work experience before
Wife:
Educational background: BSc Sociology (2.1), MSW Health Social Work
Age: 38, work Experience: Medical Social work (Volunteer) Both in Hospital and mental health services
Presently working with state government as a teacher, guidance and counselor with 3 years experience.
So my questions are as follows
1) Between educational qualification and work experience which is best eligible for PNPs or have higher chances? The reason is that, my wife is going to be main applicant and if that is the case, she doesn't want to get ed with Social work regulatory body before migration, (we believe the process is cumbersome and most times Nigeria social work standard not fully recognize in Canada, so additional training may be required). And most importantly, each provinces have their seperate regulations. Or is it possible we start process without Social work registration? Please we will need more insight and help to enable us navigate the process.
2) which other ways or path ways we can explore that will simplify our process?
Thank you so much for your anticipated assistance....

Imposed carbon tax to comply with the international treaty on climate change? So, countries with no carbon tax are not complying with such treaty. If Canada stop emitting GHG, the impact on the global GHG emission will be less than 2%. We can continue protecting the earth while taxing ourselves so much that we can afford basic stuffs. There are places in Canada where the only source of heating is natural gas or propane. Not matter the rate of carbon tax, they will still need to use natural gas or propane no other solution. Carbon tax will not change their behaviour. Good you mention the many politics involved in it, the same politics made Trudeau that is so ionate about protecting the earth decided to exempt home heating oil from carbon tax. Home heating oil is one of the largest source of GHG emission and is used mostly in Atlantic Canada for heating. This really shows the policy in it. I have read so much about the climate stuff helping in international trade but no one has pointed out to me the trade agreements that have climate stuff in them. Hopefully, someone will show me one day.

They impose the carbon tax to comply with the international treaty on climate change. Canada hasn’t really contributed their quota to it until Trudeau came in, he is ionate about protecting “earth” . Also the climate stuff helps in international trade too, many politics are involved in it, they can’t get rid of it easily like that.

My advise, the class of degree doesn't matter, Age, Masters and the new Teachers EE scheme gives your wife the higher chance between the two of you. Use the CRS tool to simulate, check for the eligible NOC under the new Education stream if it is a match for what your wife currently does. Prepare for your IELTS, evaluate your highest degrees only and enter the pool to wait.

Absolutely, official opposition is a target to aim for especially for NDP. If NDP achieves this target, it puts Conservatives in power. By NDP standard it is a problem to be rich. Everything much be controlled. Everyone should end up with the same after tax income.

One of the legacy that Trudeau will be known for is the child care policy. No one no matter their political leaning can't take that from him. As for the dental care program and pharma care will see how that will work out.

ferfer:

Official opposition is still a target to aim for and it does not take away their antecedent that they are the only party that does not sell the people out to the rich.

Oh and by the way, Canada's health care is publicly funded so as long as the dental program and proposed pharma-care prevents spending more money (which it does) down the line as a result of poorer health outcomes, then all taxpayers have benefited.

vhickky:
you should have listened to the debate he had with his opponents to have an idea on his plans for Canada. The guy isn’t even a politician. Right now he is the best candidate for Canada. I honestly don’t think PP would do well in international trade and relationships compared to him. He would also probably do what trump is doing, cut jobs and reduce government spending. I prefer MC solution. Go watch the debate to hear them.

You should go and watch how the country fell in love with JT years ago. Man was spitting bars everywhere. 10 years later we are down on most growth indices in the OECD.

Don’t be misled by the new rhetoric. The Liberals have, 3 times, shown us exactly what they’re going to do. Because JT is now called MC is like thinking because NEPA is now called PHCN there will be steady power supply.

This man MC will be roasted in a debate. He was asked here about his alleged conflict of interest issues. Went off on the reporters and spun the question to- the leader of the opposition cannot have the kind of discussions i just had with king charles and macron. 😂

And yes if you have a 60 billion deficit like Canada has government spending has to be cut. Spending money on things like gender equality in Mali/Nepal , campaigning against open defecation in Ghana, or promoting LGBT/gender affirming care , bringing and paying thousands of asylum seekers etc has to stop/ reduce .

Examples below 😂

of course he doesn’t speak as eloquently like career politicians. But I believe he is the best for Canadian economy. See his meeting with macron and starmer, I really don’t see PP having such relationship with world leaders. He be like baby.

And about the conflict of interest question, why you go dey ask a man with such career profile how much his assets are? Do they expect him to have little or want to criticise him for having too much? He already submitted his assets to a blind trust like ethics commission requires. Every other thing doesn’t matter.
Maybe you are from Alberta,na Una dey defend PP like this. Plus there are plenty social engineering going on to influence people’s decisions

maybe when the conservatives field a better candidate they might stand a chance. People are even arguing MC is more central than fully liberal.

you are the one being socially engineered here. Trudeau was president of G7 did it translate to any tangible thing for Canada? Before UK elections did you know who Keir Starmer was? So a politician like PP will suddenly become shy if he becomes PM and wont be able to communicate with other world leaders. The same so called world leaders that Trump is flogging and they still go to meet him to simp for him. hear yourself na 😂

What we need is common sense not ideology. Climate change is real but to kill or limit our industries while the like of China and India are still building and firing coal is a no no for me. It is either the whole world do the same thing we do or we do what others are doing. Even if we unilaterally end fossil fuels, we will still feel the impact of climate change as we share one climate so why weaken ourselves for something we can't unilaterally solve? This is my problem with the Left.

I agree with the common sense part but change has to start from somewhere. If we are waiting for everyone to be on thesame page, then things would never be done. All progressive norms today started from somewhere with subsequent/concurrent wider pressure being applied.

Western leaders need to relay and demonstrate the benefits of these changes to the populace at thesame time avoiding the pitfalls of populism. I agree finding the balance here is dicey.

The reality is that they won't get the status of official opposition and it is not looking good for the Cons. You know this already.

It is a problem to be rich with NDP? Nope. That is wrong. They have always advocated for everyone to pay a fair share of taxes! The rich always have the wherewithal to exploit the tax system such that the lower/middle income are left to hold the bag. It is disingenuous to call that 'controlling everything' or having a problem with the rich!

There is no need to see how the dental program will work out. It is always cheaper and effective to prevent people from jumping into the river than to pull them out of the river. The dental program is a health promotion campaign and since Canada has a universal / publicly funded health care system, it is simplistic at best to claim that the middle class have not benefited from this program.

It will be the-same tax paying middle class and others that will fund the more expensive downstream issues that would have been cheaper to prevent if done earlier.

Not my point. All I’m saying is that any time the NDP reaches their target it means a Conservative government. Both times they were the official opposition, the Conservatives win. It is not looking good for the conservatives right now, same way it is not looking good for NDP. If elections were in Nov/Dec, the Conservatives would have had my vote without thinking about it. I mentioned it in one of my comments earlier. Trudeau’s liberal is too lefty for me. Now with a new Liberal leader even with all he has said about carbon tax, I must think a lot about who to vote for.

The rich will always have a way of paying the lowest tax they can. They have the means to always reduce the amount of taxes they pay. NDP message is always the rich not paying their fair share. I have never heard about them suggesting empowering the low income to move them high income. To me their messaging sounds like they have a problem with the rich. The last election somebody came to campaign for NDP at my door, I asked him if they have problems with people getting rich, the guy couldn’t answer me. Their message does not resonate with me and with most Canadians. The issue is the Canadian tax system. It goes beyond the rich not paying their fair share. For instance, in a household where one works part time and the other full time, the system does not allow them to transfer income from one spouse to the other but if they claim to be separated and one spouse makes payment to the other, their total income tax obligation is lower.

Unfortunately, giving the tax system in Canada, the middle class will always be the ones that will feel the effect of increases in taxes more. They are not rich enough to take advantages of what the rich can take advantage of. At the same time, the government said they are too rich to need help.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know what life's like living in Thunderbay, Ontario as a PR? I have read that the cost of living is quite affordable.
What about job opportunities? Commute systems? community lifestyle? there seems to be very little information about the city.
I'll appreciate if I can get more first hand experience information.

Thank you.

I lived in Thunder Bay for a bit, and it's a great city. It’s small enough that you can get anywhere within minutes but big enough to have almost everything a larger city offers. In fact, Thunder Bay is considered the "big city" for people living in Northern Ontario, who often travel there to access services, especially healthcare.

The cost of living is lower compared to places like the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). However, job opportunities will depend on your field. If you work in healthcare, you should be able to find a job relatively easily. Other than healthcare, not sure what other sectors you may be able to work in. Thunder Bay is also a university city, so there may be some opportunities in academia if you're qualified.

The city has a large Indigenous population, and like many places, it faces some challenges, including a significant drug use problem. It’s not uncommon to see intoxicated individuals on the streets or public transit, sometimes being belligerent. However, as long as you mind your business, you should be fine.

For a small city, the public transit system is decent. Some bus routes run every 30 minutes, so wait times can be long, but the buses do come and get the job done. In my experience, people in Thunder Bay are generally nice, and I never had issues with racism. It’s a fairly multicultural city for its size, and you’ll definitely see other Africans there.

Let me know if you have any more questions, and I’ll do my best to respond!

Kaycee20878:
Thanks for your response.

I want to move Cos they clearly telling us if you’re not bilingual we don’t want you here no more. Like about two years back they’re a lil bit nice with it. But now it’s getting really bad. Just feels like they’re just closing in on it. To get a most jobs now requires French.

Please move if you can! I took a vacation there in 2023, and let's just say I will not be going back there again for a very long time. I have never felt so disrespected and discriminated against in my entire life as I did in Montreal. I actually couldn't believe I was in Canada.

This is not financial advice but.....

Regarding transfers to spouse or common law partners....a couple in the scenario above may want to speak to their bank or ant about spousal RRSP. Another option is for the higher earner to pay all household expenses and low earner does most of the investments. Investment income will be taxed at part time earner's marginal tax. There's also spousal loan - lower earner borrows from high earner at CRA rate and uses money to invest in a non ed and pays lower tax on investments

The wealthy and middle class have access to information, spare cash to invest and tax efficient strategies but anyone can benefit from these.

Happy Sunday all,

Please I should be heading to Calgary on Spouse open work permit in a month or 2 as my visa has been approved,I will like to ask if there are settlement programs I am eligible/can in Calgary to assist with Jobs e.g ACCESS employment that is in Ontario??

PS:Worked in banking operations (branch) for 7 years??

To be honest with you, banking operations for 7 years is not experience to bring to Canada. Banking is very saturated here and because it operates quite differently (in some ways) from what obtains in Nigeria, many Canadian banks will hesitate to bring you in at the same level as you are in Nigeria. That's not to mention the need for Canadian experience that could sometimes be a hinderance. However, that shouldn't deter you. I'll recommend a few things to you.

Start looking at additional transferable skills you could layer on top of or adjacent to your banking experience. For example, say you also did project management while you were at the bank, try to sell this as a different skill by (1) trying to write PMP if you can, and (2) preparing a different resume that sells you as a project manager (and not a banking advisor, for example). If you have other transferable skills, try to build resumes in those directions and claim your normal years of experience doing this. Things that I can imagine you can spin out of working in a bank could be project management, business intelligence, business development, customer success, customer service, etc. You are the one who knows better, in any case. But these could help increase the breadth of organizations you can apply to outside of banking institutions. I once successfully advising a process engineer to spin out into data analysis because he did work with a lot of data as a process engineer, except he had to write a few Microsoft data certifications to layer on top of that experience and get up to speed quickly with some well-known data analysis tools like PowerBI.

Second thing is to start building your network. LinkedIn is a very good place to start. So are arrival services, which are almost all free. Try to for one of these arrival services in Canada once you land and go take many of their programs, and try to build your networks from there. If possible, reach out on LinkedIn to people working in your desired field and look into going to the same networking events they are going to, so that when you are there you can say stuff like "Oh, I actually follow you on LinkedIn. I like what you discussed about ......It's quite related to what I did back in my previous organization where I was employed as......I've been looking for new opportunities in this area since I came to Canada some few months ago so that I can expand my skills...." Anything along those lines.

Third thing is to start furiously applying for jobs RIGHT now. Nothing should be stopping you from throwing as many resumes out there as you can, making sure to tailor each according to the job you want. You don't have to expect anything, but it doesn't hurt to try. My recommendation here is to keep your expectation low, as you continue to do the two above. If you find that there is need for you to acquire a few certifications here and there to boost your chances, this is when you start working on them. For example, would you be shooting for project management jobs while leveraging your banking experience, then start prepping to write PMP, etc. THis is the part where you are building yourself, while not waiting for a job first.

Finally, in addition to all above, you want to prepare for the worst case. What's the worst case? That all these efforts don't pay off for several months. In that case, what's your plan? Do you want to do Uber on the side? Ubereats? Skip? Or you want to shoot for a quick Amazon warehouse job? Or customer service from home? Something in retail? Or you are quite handy and don't mind becoming a blue collar? If you are open to any of such contingencies, this is the time to start working towards them. For example, if you think you are going to do Uber, then go tidy up your Nigerian driver's licence and learn how you can quickly transition to start driving in Canada. Would you need to start studying the driver's handbook for the exam? Time to start now. Just plan, plan, plan. If you would love to get into welding because it's something you've always thought about, time to visit a welder in Nigeria and start learning the basics, etc.

I have always maintained that all that ecstasy or excitement from getting Canadian PR, all that excitement that follows "He has finally done it!", all that jumping up and screams of excitement that is so palpable all over the Canadian express entry thread once folks get their visa; all that excitement is unwarranted and doesn't prepare you for what to expect in Canada. Canada is no heaven. In fact, anyone could be easily worse off once they get here. It doesn't get any easier. If anything, it could get crazy mental. What matters is to start preparing once you are sure you are leaving the country. There is a lot of preparations to do and only those who prepare win in the end!

NuCypher:

If anything, it could get crazy mental.

Omo this part.. someone can go crazy if person no dy careful o

Thanks for this suggestion. The problem is that with the current cost of living, most middle income earners don't have spare cash to invest. I wish we could go back to the time when spouses can split income for tax purposes or go to the point where family file taxes as one.

Since your spouse is already in Calgary, your integration should be less stressful. Career wise in Canada, I will advise you to be open minded. Look for opportunities anywhere you can find it. You may be able to find banking job or other related jobs but don't limit yourself to it.

......thing is......many of us are waiting till we have $7k to drop in our TFSA for 2025 contribution room or $2,500 to drop for our kiddo's RESP.

They key is to:
Start early...
Start small...
Make regular contributions

You'll be surprised what biweekly contributions of $50 amount to in 10 years...

Compounding is a thing!

you should have listened to the debate he had with his opponents to have an idea on his plans for Canada. The guy isn’t even a politician. Right now he is the best candidate for Canada. I honestly don’t think PP would do well in international trade and relationships compared to him. He would also probably do what trump is doing, cut jobs and reduce government spending. I prefer MC solution. Go watch the debate to hear them.

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss criticized Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, saying, "He did a terrible job as governor of the Bank of England, creating many issues. Under his leadership, inflation soared, the economy struggled, and the central bank’s policies were often misguided, which contributed to significant economic instability. Carney’s lack of foresight and understanding of the market left the UK vulnerable to rising costs, undermining public trust in the financial system.

you can appreciate his debate but i will never vote for a person with this type of profile ...Noooooo!!!!

Sorry, but you cannot defend Carney for the bad job he has done – it’s obvious. Also, we hope he will refund the $500,000 taxpayers’ money he used for the overseas trip to Europe shortly after his selection as PM a few weeks ago!!

Whatever issues Carney had in the UK, non-Canadian should stay out of Canada elections. It is the choice of Canadians to make not leaders from other countries.

What bad job did he do? He was not even a Brit when he was appointed BOE governor

What I'm saying is Liz Truss is the last person who should be quoted when it comes to discussing someone else's handling of an economy. It's like using a quote from Buhari to explain how 'bad' NOI was?

lanresz:

Fair enough. Just that the world is becoming more interconnected especially in the anglosphere and what one politician says or does quickly reverberates elsewhere hence it's inevitable you'd get politicians elsewhere dipping in. It's for the Canadian electoral body to ensure systems are robust enough to prevent undue influence and for also the average Canadian to scrutinise appropriately whatever a politician says and make their informed decision

When it comes to Liz, she's still being mocked for crashing the economy and had to quickly resign being the shortest serving PM in history. It would be interesting to see her explanation of these criticisms and how she did better.

Liz Truss is not qualified to comment on Mark Carney, As the shortest-serving UK Prime Minister who crashed the UK economy in weeks before Rishi Sunak came to steady the economic boat. Mark Carney never applied for the BOE Governor job, he was headhunted for the position after his sterling performance as the Bank of Canada Governor. Carney remains the only non-British to be BOE Governor to date. He was to serve for 5 years but he was begged to stay for 2 more years after his term expired to help the UK stabilize the self-inflicted economic harm caused by BREXIT.
During Brexit debates, he advised the UK to stay in the European Union but politicians berated him, saying he was overreaching and should not make such a call which can influence the Brexit referendum.
Will his antecedents make him a good PM for Canada? Certainly not. When the eyes of the lion are bloodshot from hunger, it is not from the mouth of a dog that such observation should flow out.
The people who are qualified to talk on Mark Carney are the 3 Prime ministers he served under in UK during his 7 years as BOE Governor from July 1 2013 to Mar 15 2020.
David Cameron (Conservative) – until 13 July 2016

Theresa May (Conservative) – from 13 July 2016 to 24 July 2019

Boris Johnson (Conservative) – from 24 July 2019 onwards (Carney left in March 2020)

As well as Canada PM Stephen Harper who headhunted Carney to serve as Bank of Canada Governor between Feb 2008 to June 2013.

Well said. It was surprising seeing that quote. It's like Andy Carroll criticising C. Ronaldo.
I've noticed there is a telling lack of understanding of British politics here. They are the kings of double-speak aka British diplomacy. When a British politician says something, you dont jump at it. You first take a step back and rumminate over why they said that.

I dont speak to defend politicians but Carneys profile is brilliant. Whether he would make a good PM is to be seen.

That double standard statement, but Mr. Carney may seem brilliant to you, but it may not reflect the facts of the matter. It’s probably your personal opinion, not the opinion of the majority
