I present to you a receipe that would put to bed all arguments about roles in the family,divorce, discrimination against sexual orientation and domestic violence. This is a receipe from the greatest wisdom book ever written. Here we go...

Love endures long and is patient and kind;
Love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy,
Love is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
Love is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride);
Love is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly.
Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way,
Love is not self-seeking;
Love is not touchy or fretful or resentful;
Love takes no of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].
Love does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes,
Love is ever ready to believe the best of every person,
Love endures everything [without weakening].
Love never fails!

Happy Holidays! Happy New year in advance!

Advise to both men and women. If marriage isnt working out, find a way out. You are not a loser, a failure or disappointment.

I my late dad used to pray for his girls to marry men that will a). Not fight to tame their star, b) not make them feel that being strong is a crime c) that will "give" them so much freedom. Never understood what he meant by freedom until years (almost a decade) later.

There is this kind of freedom you will have in a relationship ehn, people who do not understand will think you used one juju or the other. Freedom to make some decisions without even consulting your other half(strange I know) because he or she trusts you to make the right one....if you made the wrong decision, they laugh and joke about it and encourage you to make the right one next time. Let your partner be your biggest cheerleader.


My dear women, please find yourself feminist

Its easy to quote this.
I used to quote this when I was single.

Sometimes you want out not because of hardness of heart but because you have no more strength to endure.

Everything you said!

Also check priceline.com, I was able to find 700 dollars flight for one way Lagos to Toronto for one adult. Ended up getting an 800 dollar one cos I want to enjoy Emirates.
Hack: it’s cheaper to book a multi city ticket (LOS-LON-YYZ) than one way LOS to YYZ.

You might have to handle your baggage while in transit. Also confirm that you have allowance for 2 bags on the LON-YYZ route.

Yea. It’s 30 cad for the first and 50 for the second. Only going with one box, my dad will bring the other.

Hello guys,

Who as applied for a PRTD recently from anywhere especially from Nigeria? I need information urgently on the timeline for getting the PRTD visa. Thanks

I did last month. Submitted my PRTD application at VFS UK on 6th November and got my stamped port back on 9th November. It was very easy and straightforward. In fact, they gave me two years multiple entry.

hope22today:


Am not anyone here,I just ed but have been on nairaland.
Had been so busy at work.

If you have an answer. Pls

oh alright apologies ma'am

The inconvenience and need to pay for luggage explains the price difference . In your case your aware and have it all planned out. For anyone else interested in the hack, caveat emptor.

60,000 naira is 220 CAD. I still think the hack is a hack.

Hey people..

Know anyone in need of a basement suite (partly furnished) is Saskatoon. Do hola. Quite affordable 1K without utilities.

Still available?

Which route and airline was that? Something must have gone wrong. Even powdery foods such as Elubo goes.

a
A friend took ponmo n this was flagged. She spent almost 2k cad just cos of ponmo.
It was a big issue. And she was flagged to be checked for the next 5 years anytime she comes into Canada.

Compliments of the Season Everyone.I have two questions:
1)Can my POF be a transfer of TBills (100%Gift Deed from Father-In-Law).
Back Story: FIL decided to liquidate some of his TBills as his contribution to this journey. A reputable Investment Management Firm handles his investments so I just opened an with them and the proceeds of the TBills were transferred to my to be used for TBills in my name. The other option was to do a change of ownership of TBills from him to me. What do you think?

2)Does anyone have the excel spreadsheet outlining the Cost of the PR Journey?Ive seen it around and was hoping someone could send to me.

I don't believe there is a hard and fast rule to the Tbills arrangement if you're using a gift deed, I think you can write a detailed letter of explanation to back up the transaction. Since you've opened the and money has been transferred from his to yours, that's a straightforward transaction.

Here you go

Yes it is..

I'm not disputing that it's a hack. Just pointing out the caveat accompanying the hack. Imagine if a family of five with excess luggage take up this deal without being fully aware that they'd have to drag their luggage around Heathrow in-between flights...

Gokoyer0:

Nothing went wrong! Get familiar with food items you can/can't bring into Canada. Powdered Elubo and Kpomo are not same thing.

We booked Egypt Air as the price was good. Travelling in March too.

Change of ownership of tbills is a long thing. The liquidation and buying proceeds in your name make sense.

For the excel sheet you can factor the following costs too:

Sending and receiving ports to AVO
Likely cost of resending PR photos if rejected
Cost of flight

Hello from windy Saskatchewan.

Hi Salford, how's Sasks today?
This is a long one so pls help in giving your best advice.

I'm 30, hold a doctorate in economics. HV a lil over 6years experience as a banker in Nigeria. Not married. Of recent I just began getting tired of the country and thinking of leaving.
Just yterday I processed my international port, though I'm awaiting it.

I HV a distant uncle who works with GE in Alberta, he's a PR, though we don't HV the same surname. I also HV an aunt in Saskatchewan who's a nurse there and a PR.

I am preparing to for ielts exam.... I feel going through the federal program might be too competitive for me..... What do you suggest.... I read Saskatchewan requires just minimum of 6 in ielts ie going through provincial nomination.

Can you advice with the pros & con, esp since u are in Saskatchewan .thanks

Didnt know ponmo is one of the banned items though

Hello everyone. Please, is there any HR practitioner on this thread? I would like to make a few enquiries.

Sask i okay.
I have probably met your uncle twice or thrice in Calgary (i.e.if he worked as an Engineer for GE Nigeria before migrating, then he is likely the one).

I am not sure of how pnp works in sask, it may be occupation based if you did not study here, so you might be left with just EE. With a PhD and a good IELTS result, you should easily meet the cut-offs for EE. It's better to check the EE and provincial nominee threads on Nairaland to get the best answer.

As per Phd eco, You would likely be over qualified for most bank jobs in Sask. Most banks here are retail/branch banking. You would get a retail banking job but likely going to be underpaid for your level of education. Howevr, there are a few consultancies in Regina that would gladly have someone with a Phd Eco on board, and I have also seen a few Sask Gov vacancies asking for a PhD in Economics. Gov or consultancies would offer you a wage which is commensurate with your level of education. There would be more opportunities for Economists with your level of education in Alberta, especially in Edmonton which is where most Gov of Alberta jobs are located, but you also have more applicants competing for the same job. You can land in any of the two provinces and apply to jobs in both. Whichever one gives you an offer would determine where to eventually stay.

Though, you asked Salford but EE is going to be easy peasy for you. All you need is getting 8777: LWRS in IELTS and I'm sure it's something you can do as getting a PhD isn't child's play.

I computed your points based on the stats you dropped and assumed a IELTS score of 8777 ; you got a whopping 479

I'm traveling in March too and I booked Egypt air but that cos it was cheaper and the flight from Cairo to Toronto is shorter than the flight from Addis Ababa to Toronto. Also Egypt air has a promo going on now from Lagos to Toronto... u can check it out

Okk. Thanks.

AZeD1:

Technically, if you don't owe there are no penalties. I filed mine way past the deadline this year but since I didn't owe nothing happened ( well I got some refunds)

How do you book flight via Egypt air? cos cant seem to get that done on their site

have to visit their office or something?

Please as the year is almost rounding up, ignore any landlord that will want to talk you into not reporting your rent as your expense just because he or she does not want to pay income tax.

Keep your tax report straight. Moreover you may even shortchange yourself by not reporting that expense.

I'm thinking we should open a different thread titled "marrige in Canada as an Immigrant" where those with gift of revelation and prophesy can go and be seeing vision for peoples marriage. Please lets get back on track abeg. Ka Chineke mezie okwu!

It's all part of living in Canada. People get to know what lies ahead of them by reading what is here. I am for anything that will make integration here easy and i jump and what does not relate to me. Let's not stiffle peoples' comments.

Some things i have learnt the hard way because no one got to share them here.
