Dear all, such a long time. First to those still waiting for one update or the other, I pray my God will give you a pleasant surprise this week.
My family and I landed at Pearson's Airport via Turkish Airline with a 6hr stop at Istanbul on the 10th July, 2016. It was quite a pleasant experience. The girls loved it. Our host (amazing couples) were already at the Airport waiting for us. We couldn't get our SIN numbers that day because it was a Sunday but the next day we went to a Service-Canada station to get them.
Trying to get an apartment was the most challenging part of our visit, they would not give us accommodation because we had no credit history but thank God we engaged a realtor (very helpful Indian lady). They collected 6 months rentage without looking back after we signed all the papers.
A tip for those of us coming to Ontario, please visit the Rexdale Women Center or the Center for Education and Training. They support newcomers to the max. They helped fill our child tax benefit forms, gave a welcome pack to my hussy and I each. They will give u mattresses if you want too. We bought a dinning table with chairs from Kijiji very nice one. The lady posted it for $150 but trust Naija bargaining power we got it for $100. The people here are very nice I tell u. I really pray something happens for our dear country Nigeria.
I wept for our country Nigeria when I got here. Nigeria can be better... May God punish all our dubious leaders who come here to enjoy with their families and keep our people under abject poverty.
