    Thank you Mimie. It has never crossed my mind to leave Nigeria because I believe I can achieve anything here as a Software Developer. However, your videos have sparked my interest and made me to have a rethink. Also, the situation of Nigeria in terms of our devalued and defeated currency has further boosted my Japa Syndrome. Welldone, please keep them coming. God bless!

    Most Nigeria avoid credit card particularly not knowing that it is key to a lot of openings. I applied for a credit card even as a student and I got a 1000 limit. The trick I use on using it is, once I shop on it, I pay it off within 2 days. Congratulations on your new home and thanks for sharing your story.

      @preciousajunwa, you have done a great job paying your credit card every 2 days. But, that’s not the best way to use your credit card 😅. Pay your credit card before the due date after the statement date. Also, don’t use more than 30-35% of your credit card limit as this affects your credit score. The limit usage (30-35%) only affects your credit score but not your credit history.

    You have done well to let people know the reality(in the sense that what worked for A might not work for B) and that singular point you didn't miss out, where the down payment wasn't actually earned here, kudos to you cos I feel with the way some people use the internet as a guide to what they do with their lives, it's good you stated that, so some don't start putting unnecessary pressure on themselves.

      So very well said. I have lived in Canada for over a decade, and I cant help but watch in amazement the unnecessary competitive spirit of Nigerians migrating to Canada in the last 5 or so years. Buying a property is a basic human need - i.e shelter over your head. And as Mimi alluded to, a lot of Nigerians that buy within a year come into Canada with their down payment in hand.

    Cibc wasn't that great I prefer td bank but if cibc works for them great.
    We used cibc for many years, for 10 years but td bank was just an overall better deal.
    It actually use to be td
    ( Toronto Dominion) but they combined with canada trust (they use to be a brown bank) but when they combined they were just the best banking system.
    I mean the best.
    I love bank of Montreal too!
    I trusted that bank for everything!
    Putting documents together for home ownership in Canada, I'd say it was a good experience.
    The builders are amazing!
    It was a fun process picking houses from the original plan and working with the builders to mix and match what you want in your home.
    W were kinda broke so our house came with standard features but later down the road we did our own renovations.
    Congrat on the home!

      They multiply it to know how much mortgage loan you will qualify for…it is multiplied by family income (husband and wife) if you’re buying together or an individual income if you’re single or buying alone.

      You can contact the popular builders in Calgary and visit their show room to see what they have .. check Shane homes, Morrison homes, Excel homes etc
