There are Ontario Groups for Nigerians, but you get added based on referrals. Someone has to refer you to the group

Ok. I know places like Toronto and Ottawa have WhatsApp group but an Ontario wide? That's new.

Dear All,

I intend to do a short landing soon. However, I plan to visit the US during my stay. I would like to know how to go about this given that my PR card won't be ready before I leave for the US.

Thank you
@blackbuddy, @Salford, @vcole

Hi, this will sort you out https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5529-applying-permanent-resident-travel-document.html

Have a safe trip.

You can get a full bedroom apartment(living room + bedroom + toilet & bath + kitchen) for about 580 to 620 cad per month (including utilities, except Power).. Metro card cost 85cad per month, gives you unlimited access to both bus and subway for the month. I dont know the exact cost for car insurance, I dont drive, but I do know it's about the lowest in Canada.

Thanks. Was there any reason you chose Montreal above other provinces?

I just landed in Ontario. Please can you refer me to any of these groups.

Thank you

Good day everyone
Been following this thread ever since I got my PPR a few weeks ago.

It has been a very very looooong read from page 1 and it's well worth it.
Thanks to @Salford blackbuddy bsbabe maternal glittering star et al., God bless you plenty.

I'm presently on page 405 but had to interrupt my read to ask a question. I'm in a bit of a predicament and I hope someone here can advise me.

My port was transmitted to vfs Accra on the 15th of this month, however I received news on Monday that I was successful in a conference travel Grant I applied for.
The thing is, the conference will be taking place in Austria and I have about 2weeks to submit my application for a Visa as the conference starts on the 2nd week of November.

What could I possibly do now,? My CIC has not been approved and so my port is no where near coming back to me.
Do I write to AVO to withdraw my port temporarily? and what implications could doing this have on my application?

Has anyone here been I a similar situation or know someone who has. Please, somebody help.

Thanks

I may not be an expert on this but withdrawing your port "temporarily" does not seem like an option. Even your ppr letter tells you that if you don't submit port within 15 or 30 days, your app will be rejected. If I were you , I would just let go of the Austria jeje except if it's really more important than your pr

Thank. Was there any reason you chose Montreal above othet provinces?

I haven't chosen where I would settle in yet. I only chose to try out Montreal and see if I could immerse myself in french. It was an easy idea to toy with since:

1) Montreal is cheap to live in so the financial cost of such trial is minimal.

2) It is likely the most bilingual city in the world(for English and French), so I wouldn't be completely incommunicado while I am yet to learn french.

3) I'm single so it doesn't take much effort for me to relocate to wherever, whenever I deem it fit to.

Basically, it is all an adventure for me to see if the effort and ion required to pick up french at this stage of my life is commensurate with whatever rewards it offers, and to bring myself to full grasps of the practical opportunity costs that I would incur from such a gamble. Thus, helping me make an informed decision and freeing me from a perpetual what if analysis.

Chances are I may move sooner than later or stay a few months.

One day I will write my own Canadian landing experience

I'm still a student. I just don't know whether to go through EE or Masters degree

eclectic139:


I'd advise you convert and keep in a dorm in naija. come with some cash, open here and do transfer. Just to avoid drama with naija officials n having to declare. I did same, also printed statement, at the entry point, when I was asked I explained I had cash and the rest in , was about showing statement, the lady asked me to go.

If tax payment enforcement in Nigeria fully suceeds, then I will be left with no option than to forfeit my Nigerian citizenship instead of paying tax to the Nigerian government, but I hope this does not apply to Nigerians residing abroad that do not pay tax in Nigeria.

louder please

Thanks rainazoe

You are right, there's no harm writing.

I'll send an email to them and see how it goes.

I believe all other things being equal, most schools give PRs or citizens ission preference.

I cant agree or disagree, my response was targeted at the mention of the grade.

Ok gotcha.

Boss13:


You may need to hold on to this. Find out if your daughter can have the immunization before you move. Else, there maybe free immunization for kids. The 3 months insurance maybe a waste of money. Also, insurance brokers know how to upsell. You might want 3 months before you know you have done 1 year because they will hook you on tantalizing offers. Furthermore, you need to know what kind of health coverage you want, plus 3 months is not so far. If you fall ill, seeing a doctor won’t exceed $900. Don’t scream, with OHIP, seeing a doctor is free, but you buy drugs. Many drugs are not covered under OHIP

I thought like this just before coming, and 1 week after I landed, I fell seriously ill, I had to go to the ER. Every day I went in, I had to pay 60 dollars, plus pay for tests, in a week I had spent the $300 I was saving from Insurance. I also had to pay for tests. I know the next thing is.."its not my portion" well I didn't believe it was my portion either before I fell ill.. but what happened.. happened.That's when I knew the importance of insurance. I'd advise he/she does good research and confirm what is covered, anything can happen anytime, that's the catch with insurance. And its winter period, the chances of falling ill goes up. Use the website, Blue Cross has an easy straight forward website about what is covered and what isn't, u can also give them a call. just get enough information before you commit.

414 pages in the bag.
Except for some arguments and misconceptions

I really like what you’re doing. Allowing yourself to explore and make decisions based on your own personal experiences. I’m not taking this adventurous approach myself but I applaud it. It does make sense.

When I landed, I gave a relatives's address to a customs officer as where I want my pr card to be sent.
However he told me that they will only deliver the card to me so I have to make sure I will be there when the PR card arrives in 6 to 8 weeks.

I found this strange as I have read here many times that the PR can be collected on people's behalf.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Im here for short landing and I plan to return next year

You can do a transfer to any of the listed bank s on their site. Ensure to use your booking ref code in your narration so that they can easily tie it to your booking. You'll get a ticket within an hour of making payment, except you didn't use your code like I said in which case you will have to send a mail to them to issue your ticket.
