Hello there! How well have you been adapting to the frigid weather recently? Like I always tell my friends, hang in there, the sun will shine again. In the meantime, here are some helpful tips to keep you warm and save on energy costs.

So, I've been digging into recent hiring trends reports in Canada so I can keep you up to date. Here's the lowdown:

“When COVID hit and the borders in Canada and Nigeria closed, I tried my best to get any available flight out, but I was stuck in Alberta. I felt miserable and useless for the next few months because I couldn’t….”

In 2019, a high school teacher, Folusho Oloyede, from Nigeria travelled to Canada for a short family visit, but COVID-19 changed everything, stranding him far from his wife and young son. Facing emotional and financial struggles, he turned to volunteering and studying and eventually found work that opened doors to a better life.

With the help of his family and a local immigration program, he secured permanent residency and began planning a new future for his family.

After four long years apart, his wife and son joined him in Canada, marking a joyful reunion and a fresh start.
