It is true that the temp can vary widely in Calgary but the only thing one can do is dress to be on the safe side. I go out before 7am everyday when it is really really cold and I dress to keep warm. By evening when I'm returning home,I'm carrying my coat because it's not so cold anymore and...

I pray that Accra will open today cos it is a public holiday here in Canada.

Your best bet is to PM a landed Nigerian. Even those who were a bit upset with us while in Nigeria have landed and seen how difficult it is to keep posting. It is not cos one is feeling to big. Those who PM me receive replies within 2 days at least. Also some enquiries don't have straight...

Pa Jackson, Welcome to Calgary. Quickly go to any registry around you and get your Alberta health card so your wife can access health services.

In Calgary, Wind is a good telephone provider. For a reasonable price, you get a good package. It is not advisable to sign a contract with a telephone operator. I don't know anything about insurance yet. Utility depends on where you stay. Please if you have any questions, send me a PM. I...

A piece of advice to anyone looking for any landed member, send them a PM. It is difficult to explain how busy one gets here. You have to be here to understand so please don't just judge. Send a PM. That's the quickest way to get access to a landed member. Some of us are not as free as...

Jovic, If you go through my profile and view my previous posts, you will see my landing experience. I don't mean to be rude but I usually have very limited time to reply and writing a long epistle right now isn't possible. Calgary is fine and the weather is more bearable now. I wish you all...

@ Tinuadebola, congrats on your MR @gel003, generally Canadians prefer Canadian credentials. That's as far as I know but maybe someone else has more info on this.

@ Mayoress, learning how to make hair or sew clothes is a good trade to learn. Hair especially cos it's really expensive here. @gel003, doing a masters in HRM there will be a waste truly cos it is not really recognized here.

Hello Tinu, I don't think one settles fully in just 2 months. There are so many things to adjust to and do to get settled here. Calgary is not just for oil and gas workers. I am not one and I'm here. Fort Macmurray is actually the oil city. Calgary just happens to be close by. :) That being...

Welcome to Canada Ladapo4luv.

Have you tried sending a PM to a landed Nigerian? That would be more effective than waiting for a response on the general forum.

How old is the child?

@ Emo, by 'wrong' i meant that Spokes was incorrect in saying the facilities asked for by thejackson are not available in Frankfurt. I didn't check if there are hotels offering the facilities thejackson asked for because in my opinion he doesn't need it. The airport is massive and has a lot of...

Congrats to al who have got MR or ugwu leaves.

PM Seglad,he's in Toronto

Wrong. I flew with Lufthansa and I did not rent or use any hotel or cabin. I had to wait for about 7hrs at Frankfurt airport. There are washrooms with toilet and bath if you want to freshen up. There are also baby rooms in case u need to feed and change a baby. The staff there are very very...

@ Zajeb and loolo thanks. I and mine are fine.
