Stay blessed brother.

Hello House,

It's with great joy that I announce the receipt of visas and COPR for my family today (courtesy of Neyobash).

Hmmm......... my Canadian dream quest was not devoid of ups and downs as in the case of other applicants, but sharing my little experience may be the motivation that somebody out there might need to keep him/her going in pursuing the dream.

My Canadian immigration idea started sometime in the year 2011 when it just occured to me that, emigrating from my present Country to Canada may be the most appropriate step in getting out of the seemingly irreparable mess the Country was in.

In 2012, I tried the student visa route ( I applied to some Universities in Canada for PG studies) without luck.

Then I positioned myself for the 2013 stream of the FSW with all my documents ready. Only for CIC to introduce credential evaluation in that year and WES did not get my certificate evaluated until after like 5 months into the 2013 program when the slots were almost filled up and the NOC I had planned to put in for was already filled

In June 2013, I applied for the ''Morden's Community Driven Immigration Initiative" program in Manitoba. Also without luck. ;D

I had to go back to the drawing table ;D

In Jan 2014, I applied for the Saskatchewan ''In Demand'' program but was not lucky enough to be picked.

Same 2014, March. I applied for Nova Scotia Nominee Program (Without Job Offer). Also without luck. Hmmmm.......

Then came May 2014. When the FSW stream was again opened. I fired my application much early (I already had all the required documents) and it got to CIO on the 20th of May, 2014 only for my package to be returned after over 100 days in Sept 2014 on the ground that I did not include a copy of my B.SC certificate (funny enough the copy was in the package returned to me ). The devil is a liar!

Well, because I knew It's not over until it's over; I resent my package in October 2014 with a well worded cover note and it got to CIO on the 8th of October 2014.

Fast forwarded to July 2015, the MR came on the 10th of July and we had our medical examination on the 24th of July, 2015.

The great wait began........ ;D

Then, the devil struck..........I lost my better half :'(. only for PPR to stroll in exactly 17 days after her demise.

Well, all glory to the Most High as we got the visa at the appointed time even though several obstacles were faced along the line and it would have been of greater joy if my wife was here to share in the actualization of the dream :'(

I decided to share my story to encourage everyone still expecting one update or another from AVO/CIC to keep the hope alive.

The Canadian dream is not for the soft hearted. You have to be determined, dogged and keep going until you achieve your goal.

I would like to once again thank everybody (space will not permit me to start mentioning names) that has been of help in one way or the other especially Pipis Husband, for creating the Nigerian thread.

See you all at the top in Canada!

Quick Tip for you folks heading to Canada soon to land your job as I did within 3 months

1) I presume you all have your credentials assessed, you need to include this with every job application you submit. This is how you can make the recruiters job easy that your educational experience is in line with what is attained here.

2) The term CV should be expunged. We use the terminology Resume's here. Format your resume in a chronological style (at least that worked for me). The wordings on your resume should be in 2nd persons' using actionable words like "Facilitated the audit of several accounts" with Facilitated here being the actionable word.

3) Highlight achievements in your previous job description using metrics to proof this e.g could be "Achieved and surpassed marketing targets by overturning a deficit which was in the department for months before I arrived by recording a 30% growth in sales within first month of assignment".

4) keep an excel spreadsheet of all the jobs you have applied for. The last thing you want is for a recruiter to call you on the phone making reference to a job you applied for. To leave a first impression, you've got to be able to recall on the call the job title, date applied for, job duties and why you were so keen to apply for it. If you haven't kept a log, you will fluff your lines and leave a negative impression on the recruiter.

5) Be prepared for a minimum (2) rounds of interview; could be by skpe, go-to meeting or citrix as your first interview over the PC. Yes do not be deterred from applying for jobs outside the province you are settled in. They are quite flexible with this approach as everyone knows Canada is a huge country.

6) Your LinkedIn profile should be formatted in a professional manner.

7) You should possess soft skills and try to soften your accent. They can be prejudicial if your accent is difficult to be understood.

8) A couple of sites to check for job ads which include: eluta.ca, linkedin job search, indeed.ca, Workopolis.ca, monster.ca. Also check the provincial and municipal websites for jobs placement ads.

9) Cover Letters are crucial. Read the job description and highlight in your cover letter previous experience you have that demonstrates you are a candidate for the job.

I came here to Edmonton, Alberta last year in November. I didn't a get until about second week in February though but within this interval from Nov-Feb, had about five interviews. God was faithful that even when I did eventually get a job, I quitted after a week as I got an even rewarding and high profile job within the provincial government. My wife was smarter than me; she landed a job within two weeks!

I intend to write a blog post to elaborate on how to land your first job during the weekend. Please kindly visit my blog at

Good luck everyone

nice one thanks
