Is it possible for the principal applicant to go ahead first and start sorting out school registration and other stuff first before dependants land? The school registration is my main focus please

Teatop1234:
Thanks XX01.

Yes, hubby is the PA and we want him to go first to sort out school for the children, get a job and rent apartment. We can then once the Children finishes this session.

My naija driver’s license will be 2years in January, I did the knowledge test and applied for exemption. I have the class 7 license and they said I can go ahead and do the basic road test now or wait till January for the advanced road test.

I had a baby last Wednesday , PR cards received and my older child has been paid child benefits for October & November, thought we had to wait for 3months before the ist pay

Hi guys, does anybody knows how much it costs to get a driver's abstract in nigeria?

Thanks. Do you stay in Regina?

I want to ask again, I'm renewing my driver license and have just been given the temporal one. Can I use this and the recently expired permanent one for the driving test. Do I need to come with any other document to argument this? Please my people I need answers, especially for those based in SK. Thanks.

Nice article The Challenges Of Raising Bilingual Children

I am pretty sure that more than 90% of school Children in Nigeria speak at least 2 languages (English + A native language). How challenging is that to Nigerian parents?

Hello, how true is that if someone has a job offer from Canada one may not need the Proof of funds?
Thanks

Very true, but check the first section on cic website for full condition

I am curious. Why do you intend to move to Canada from Europe? Please, do you mind sharing?

To be honest, I contended with that question as well. To an outsider, I must be really out of my mind to leave Switzerland for any other place on the planet. However, after a careful evaluation of my medium term goals I decided it's in my best interest to get international exposure. In the next 5-7 years (after two/three PDFs) I'll be in a position to apply for tenure-track professorship positions and at that stage foreign experience counts for a whole lot. I wanted primarily English speaking countries as I have struggled to properly integrate to the Swiss society owing to language constraints. UK was top of my list of potential destination (I really wanted to be in Europe because I don't wanna be so far away from my girlfriend) but that plan went bust after Brexit. Canada naturally became the ideal choice as it is similar to Switzerland is so many respect (albeit having its differences too). Australia is too far away from anything else. America decided they'll rather be governed by someone with great apathy towards science and there is always racial tension in the states. Canada also has the added advantage of being the sole country on the planet (as far as I know) that grants you citizenship after just 3 years of residency. Those are the considerations that went into my decision.

I hope that answers your queries.

Ghman:

Hi Santino,

I sent you a message. Please check. I also have a PhD in Geoscience and already have my COPR. I will be moving to Canada in December. I would like some professional advise from you if you don't mind. Thanks.

Hi Ghman,
For some inexplicable reasons, my private messaging doesn't work. You can drop your mail if you like and I'll be sure to get back to you.

Yes. It's on top of the hst, pst or gst or whatever tax is applicable. While tipping is not mandatory, it has become a norm or culture when you eat out (not fastfood), take a taxi, buy drinks at pubs or order food for home delivery. I can't giving tips outside these four services. Some people also leave tips in their hotel rooms for the cleaners.

When you are handed the pos terminal, you would have an option of adding an amount or % to your bill; however, some restaurants (fine dining) would automatically add a tip of 15% or more to your bill. When you also go out in groups, some restaurant would automatically add a tip to your individual or total bill.

For aslong as I can , every member of my team at work tips anytime we eat out, and we eat out a lot.

Phew, only going for a short landing and yet my head is spinning with all the preparations to be made..... It is well

Hi Ethelia, I you from the sister thread part 2-3. When was your copr? I intend doing short-landing too but I am a bit confused.

Lol, I you too . COPR was about 2 weeks ago. What are you confused about?

salford1:

Yes. It's on top of the hst, pst or gst or whatever tax is applicable.

Na wa o. What if I’m on a budget and I don’t want to?

Will it affect the level of service I receive the next time I go there?

Hello everyone.

@BlackBuddy, please i sent you a PM kindly accept as it pertains to my PR status. Thank you very much.

Ethelia:


Lol, I you too . COPR was about 2 weeks ago. What are you confused about?

Oh wow...still fresh. Congratulations. London gang I guess? I am about 4 months post-copr already.

I really want to make a permanent move but as things (beyond my control) stand now, I may have to do a short-landing. It's getting me a bit worked-up.

Actually it was Ottawa (took about 4 months for processing). Why not say what challenges you are having (if not personal)? What is a mountain to you might be an ant hill to someone here and you can get reasonable advice.

short landing isn't bad, so long as you have someone very reliable to send your PR Card to you.

Hello house.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to making this thread informative to all of us.

I'd like to know how this short landing stuff works. I'm looking to do short landing and use the time to secure accommodation, get a school for the kids, enrol my spouse in school and return to Nigeria to continue work for sometime before ing them finally. However my office won't give me more than 5 weeks. Can I achieve all these within 5 weeks? Also if I'm unable to get my PR card (I understand it takes about 12 weeks) before returning to Nigeria, what will happen to my PR status.
