Hi Ezinne,

If this company is one you have worked for in the the last 10yrs then you will need a reference from them. if the company no longer exist, you can ask someone who knows you from that company to do a reference for you with his company letter head paper stating your job description and that he knew you from that company and that the company no longer exist if possible stating corporate difference or the reason why... bla bla bla. My partner had the same issues he worked for a company that no longer existed, but he got one of his bosses in another company to write his reference stating that the company had wound down but most of the staff from that company now worked in this new one and that he knew the person as a staff of that folded company and alll the reference stuff and it was accepted by CIC

CT

Not just any company you have worked for for the last 10 years, but rather a job related to the occupation you have listed on the application... There wont be any need to get a reference letter for working as a teacher when you are applying as a doctor.

Hi Temi, you need more patience. Then, our application was submitted November 2010, and we received PER in Feb 2011. It takes about 3-4 months before you receive PER. Patience and Faith together is the rule of the game. Cheers!

Temi, PER takes between 60 to 90 days, dat is when the real waiting begins.  Best of luck

My Naija People, please, which airline is the cheapest from Lagos to Toronto (one way)? Also, what's the appropriate time to book for a trip that is to take place in May 2012? I have a family of 5.

Thank you for your candid advice.

OOW4CHRIST,
I don't think I know the cheapest airline.
The province and city you are going to is very important. Since you have children, I will advise that you also check the transit (waiting time) of each airline before deciding. For example, if you are going to Alberta and you take a flight to Toronto, you will have another 4+ hrs to Alberta. That means initial transit (?) + transit inside Canada no be small thing for children. For ordinary 8.5 hrs flight from London to Toronto, my 4 year old son requested that the pilot should turn back bcos he was tired.

SHOCKER. I am shocked at the cost of Car insurance in greater Toronto area. The cheapest I got is $432 per month (compare to my £441 per year in the UK). E go better by God's grace.

OOW4CHRIST & other naijas, I look forward to welcoming many of you to Canada this year.

Best wishes,
Shalom

Shalom1, thank you. The Province we're going to is Ontario (Mississauga). So, our POE is Pearson Int'l Airport, Toronto. I'm considering Emirates because they allow one-way trip, but the distance is longer. Kindly advise.

Pearson is the perfect option for Mississauga. The airport is in your backyard. I would expect all airlines to sell one way tickets because of your PR visa. One way is not allowed for temp residents or visitors but permanent residents/citizens of a country are allowed one way into that country (any contrary views please?).
I just checked KLM website and it allows one way ticket.
Search very well and look for a good bargain as well because you are booking ahead of time.

Best wishes and hope to welcome you soon.
