Badadvisor: Are you in Canada? Are you a student, PR or Temporary Visitor? Asking to know what category you fall into. There are many reasons people are suffering or experiencing hardship in Canada. Some of it like Ednut said includes falling for Peer Pressure, Not doing proper research and refusal to listen to others (sometimes people think those telling them the truth are the Bad Belle people that don't want them to Japa). You can't force others to listen to you when it is their own money, time, resources and especially their experience to become. So the people you are talking about did they ask in this forum or thread? Did they declare they had enough money to care for their needs for a certain period but travelled without the claimed amount? Did they dive into purchases just to show they have also arrived without properly doing the calculations to know if it's the right thing and right time? It is easy to come and shout Canada is dead. True it might not seem like it used to be years and years ago. However, it's still not as bad as some of you try to paint it. Come in legally with the proper permits/documents (not those hoping to convert papers upon arrival). It becomes easier. Note I didn't say smooth but easier as there could still be challenges but your path becomes a little more direct than someone who's looking for an under the table job or one hoping to school and still earn enough to care for his feeding, housing, health, car, family back in Nigeria and still have something left to pay off his tuition. They were certainly told the truth. They didn't want to hear it and chose to rugged it or find a way when they arrive. Canada wey ask for POF no get reason? Anyway, we say welcome. The land mass is big enough for us. 11 Likes |

megastu: I am into tech and was willing to start with roles that didn't fully match my goals. My idea was to start somewhere especially because my wife got something we didn't want to sacrifice in the alter of "Go come back" besides it is relatively easier for me to switch later if I want but it won't be that easy for her. Fund: Funny we only traveled with what we needed for our brief stay. Infact some of our POF was still locked in Piggyvest when we traveled. We were fine though as it was a paying job that made us extend our stay. So all is good that ends well. I don't talk much about our experience because to my understanding and what I can see, it's not the norm. I don't want to give anyone a false hope. At the same time it is not impossible. I don't think we did anything special such the it can be used as "working method". I just know that we worked for it. My wife applied to more than 120 companies within one month (1 week before travel included) while testing the labour market, I did less than that because I never thought we were going to stay back so I didn't bother. Well, we were favoured with a reward. That's it about my story sha. I'd leave it at that. Like I said before. It is not impossible to get it smooth. Unfortunately, not many experience it, neither do I have the "" for it. One just needs to put in the work and at the same time prepare for Incase.. so fund/POF is important 8 Likes 1 Share |

jasperonyx: Avoiding the thread entirely though might in itself not be the solution. The thing with social media and forums is there's a need to filter (mix and match) If one concentrate only on the good news, their reality might be different when they arrive. If they concentrate only on the bad news they might get discouraged too and end up not trying. There's the need to mix optimism with reality. Is it possible to get and offer before or within a few months of arriving Canada? Yes! My wife and I did it . In fact we traveled to only do soft landing for three weeks with intention to return to our normal jobs only to have to resume new jobs in Canada on the 4th and 5th week of arrival. But is this the norm? No. Ask many, they would tell you a different story. So we can't tell others coming that because I did it that is the way it happens. My advise to new PR and Students is to put in the work (effort is required) and at the same time prepare for "incase". It is not always so smooth. However, there are chances it can go smoothly too. Optimism + Reality na key 13 Likes 2 Shares |

walenden: Even when most of you are told, you'd respond with "Make I enter first, we go run am" or " You don Japa, you no want another person to Japa" Canada required you to have POF. They know the country is not easy thus requested you have enough money that would last you a while. You claimed you had when you sent fake POF. Alas! reality is different. Next thing, your brother would open a YouTube channel about how Canada is not easy. Canada is not a place you do " Let's get there first, we'd find a way" if you are hoping on such you better be ready to face it too if it fails. People wey prepare still dey struggle to talk of. Make your brother still dey apply and stay positive because it can become frustrating. Always why he left, his goal or purpose. We pray he finds something soonest. 4 Likes |

tosyne2much: And you donât know anyone that is married with kids that acts like they are mentally unstable and stay out late? Common guys! Having or not having kids did not cause nor would it prevent this from happening. |

CoronaVirusPro: When someone dies, He does not know whether his legacy or empire continues. The kids can turn out to be useless and squander everything within years. Or there can be an accident that occurs where the children were all in one flight and all died. That legacy or empire moves to someone else and his lineage closes. These things do not really matter because all you are sure of is what you have and were able to achieve so banking on the kids tomorrow is just setting yourself up without plans. Having kids is good. It has its own happiness and lifeâs experiences. At the same time not having kids is also great. The experience and joy the person gets is different . Letâs stop thinking that life has only one way to success or happiness. We all desire different things and ways of getting them. I have seen those who had no kids live satisfactorily as well as suffer. Same way I have seen those who have kids do both. 4 Likes |

okoroemeka: Do you think someone like Dangote at his old age assuming he does not have his own children would suffer at Old age without anyone to take care of him? As in he canât afford caregivers? What you have posted is part of the problem with this Society. Why are you raising kids with the mind that they inturn would come to take care of you? These are the reason people give birth to 5 children with hopes that one will become a doctor the other an Engineer or pilot etc. Which still bring back the question I had asked earlier. So those without children perhaps they lost their kids to accidents or the likes should kill themselves because they have no children to care for them so Old age would not be worth living. Have you never heard about family or children abounding parents at old age? Never coming around and only sends money if they do? How about you plan your life today independent of whether your kids come to care for you or not you are still sufficient. Build loyalty and trustworthiness today. Youâd have people around you tomorrow. Donât be a burden to others. If you can still afford your needs at old age and have maintained a respectable character, people would always come around. 2 Likes |

Klass99: I wish I can like your comment 10 more times. The general society places too much emphasis on happiness being dependent on having kids. Thereby putting too much pressure on those not married nor having kids. Having a good mate and enjoying your relationship is awesome enough. I have never been a fan of doing things the way the society expects just because âthey expect it to be soâ. 4 Likes |

humilitypays: Did your friend tell you how many other older ones did not cry saying things like that? If at old age his desire changes. He would still be the one to experience or suffer it. Not everyone would change their desires or suffer it. There are still some that had kids and still suffer like they had none at old age. 1 Like |

Many of you here respond as if it is ALL of the children given birth to today that have been useful. Some of them have caused more aches and pain that have lead to early death of their parents. Some have blown the little wealth accumulated by the parent. There are those who had kids and lost them due to accidents, should they take their life or become useless because they no longer have kids at their old age? I hope none of you are raising kids with the hope of them caring for your expenses at old age. This is something you should plan for today such that youâd never become dependent on them. As such if you donât have kids you plan was never based on kids assistance. 4 Likes |

Kingpele: Selfishness towards who? The children that do not yet exist? These type of statements are the things that. Put unnecessary pressure on women that are yet to give birth. Having kids should be a choice and not everyone wants to do so. You are happy just looking at your kids, great I am happy for you. However, we should understand that thatâs not what would make others happy. Our desires differs. 4 Likes |

23.30 Euros for transmission fee per person. If you have three persons in your family, youâd have to pay 23.30 x 3 Then, courier through DHL. Before you send to , do well to ask about the present timeline to be sure it is still fast enough for you. Apiness111: |

As written by my lovely wife, I would have been too brief ![]() Backstory: I have been hearing about EE since o. The first time I tried to put leg in 2017/2018, that's how I heard POF and fees will need around 3m. Omo, I ended the conversation in peace ![]() Later in 2019, I'm like "Babe what is holding you back?" Then a colleague brought it up again. I closed my eyes and said let me even start with IELTS and ECA. IELTS Completed: 2019 (can't the month or exact scores again but the overall score band was 8. ECA: Completed in 2019 with ICES too. Sent lots of love letters (as in the kind you send to a real lover) to ICES so they can quickly complete ECA because in my mind, make them do sharp sharp make the Canada waka complete (little did I know ![]() ![]() Marriage: Told my man then, "guy I wan do this Canada waka o, how e go be?" He was in and the next thing was should we quickly marry to meet up with my well-arranged timeline for the Japa waka (who would have thought Canada no send personal timelines ) Las las, we chose to take our time and marry our marrying : when we were ready make Japa de occur on its own. Created Profile: January 1st 2020 because in my mind, let's start the new year with new beginnings ![]() That was when I was thinking that I would have already began my Canadian life latest by August 2020. Timeline January 8th 2020: ITA February 11th 2020: AOR February 2020: Medical ed/Biometrics. October 2020: GCMS notes showed that the VO put review required on my POF and I sent webforms to correct it December 2020: Got married. February 2021: Informed IRCC of Spouse and sent documents + Updated POF. February 2021: Spouse Upfront Medicals ed. March 2021: Spouse added to application. June 2021: PA Upfront Medicals ed. July 2021: Spouse RPRF and Spousal Addition Fees. July 2021: Spouse Biometrics completed. October 2021: Updated IRCC of full COVID Vaccination. December 2021: I was ready to spend âCanadian Decemberâ, but Canada had a different plan ![]() March 3rd 2022: ADR for PCC, Schedule A and Spouse Remedicals March 8th 2022: ADR for my Remedicals March 11th 2022: Did Medicals at Qlife PPRs were raining and I was beating my self up for not doing upfront submissions earlier in January when my mind was saying I should. Called Qlife back to back and they kept saying 10 days never reach âšď¸ March 12th: ADR submission confirmed by IRCC March 22nd 2022: Remedicals ed Omo at this point, I was expecting PPR to come March 25th and we were already planning which VO to use for COPR. Lo and behold, March ended with no show! I got veryyyyy discouraged. I was even worried about sending them mails because I'm thinking what if I complicate the application by something I say in the email? Tried to call, no way. Loaded like 2k on Airtel, no way. ed Viber, no way. We entered April and in my mind I'm like, if this people finish these PPR rain without ing us how e wan be na ![]() I started sending mails, this time to EVERYBODY - all the emails I saw across the different WhatsApp groups, I sent them emails back to back. Then at a point I started feeling like maybe it's because we talked about our visa refusal on Schedule A. April 11, 2022: I snapped pictures of EVERY PAGE of both our ports to show them the Schegen refusal was never stamped on our ports then I attached the Schegen refusal letter too to show the stated reason. In all this time, Biometrics has been showing "we have not received your fingerprints". So I sent them another technical report asking them to update my Biometrics ( I had sent to them earlier but they didn't update on the dashboard, they just responded that they have received the biometrics ). I also sent a booked flight schedule (you guys are the ones delaying me ![]() April 12th 2022: GU to say Biometrics completed. I was still worried because the date they put for completion was a day before my AOR - Ah Mogbe! April 13th 2022: They sent a mail to say they've received my additional documents. 5 mins later, they sent another mail to say there's a message on my application. Went to my dashboard and I saw what I thought was a GU. Then, I saw new message. Opened it with a beating heart like "shey I have not gone to complicate the application with that refusal letter that is now making them request something else laidis". Opened the letter and became even more confused! ![]() ![]() Las las my good people in the Spousal Addition WhatsApp group helped to confirm say na the actual Eagle weyy land so! ![]() ![]() ![]() Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!!!!

Sicilyjoe: Does the 10k include waybill or you would be paying for it separately? |

Sicilyjoe: They were not listed as 5k each in the previously mentioned 15k, itâs only a coincidence that the listed items are 3 in number. The ORLs are bigger in size with about 5â to 10â so they wonât be sold at exactly same price with the century. 2pcs of ORL @ 6k each, 1pc of Century @ 5k, would be a total of 17k. However, anyone taking all 3 would get a discount of 2k i.e all 3 sold for 15k. I think Iâve shared enough explanations now ![]() |
