Hi Olu, i really need your help how can I get in touch with you?

Very informative. Such a wonderful service for anyone contemplating a move to New Brunswick. I might add...that if you are willing to settle in a small town or village rather than the city some of the services are cheaper, including rent. However, it may be of no advantage if you have to travel to the city for work. Keep up the good work Olu, you are a beautiful ray of sunshine for so many people wishing to make the transition to our Province.

Hi there, thank you for the informative videos. I was wondering, where in Moncton would be great for international students from Africa? Been looking at the ads and most are specific about not renting to international students, the other ads are looking for Indian students. It's been quite a disheartening search thus far. However, if you may have some insight, preferably on the cultural composition of Moncton. I believe we would be much obliged🙏🏾 keep up the great work 👍🏾

[@o_oluwasanmi]

Hi Lebohang. Thanks for reaching out. Students generally live close to their school. So for international student studying at the French university, they typically live around Elmwood which is close to the school, and students in NBCC live around mountain road. Hang in there and keep searching, you'll definitely get one soo 😊

Thanks for the informative video. It appears that you missed out the Codiac Transpo Link as promised. Do you think, getting a Driver's License Extract from one's Home Country, will do any good, in lowering Insurance Rates as witnessed in Ontario? Can you share tips on how best to ace the NB License Exams or at least the steps to getting one. If you've got an email address, for ideas of potential topics or questions that haven't been answered in any of your videos, kindly share. Once again, thanks for the video, you've been very helpful in many ways you don't know.

[@o_oluwasanmi]

Thanks for the reminder, will include the link in the comment section. In New Brunswick, driver's license extract does not impact the amount you pay for insurance, unfortunately. Great question on the tips to pass the license exam, will prioritize making videos on how to choose a school as well as this question in the coming week. My email is [e-mail]. Let us connect. Thanks for always coming back on this channel

[@rps1689]

A good driver's abstract will get you a good discount, but only from other provinces. As for an abstract from the US, I'm not sure. Some provinces will give you a discount with a foreign drivers abstract.

Don’t do it. You will regret it

[@analifecaptured4308]

@@JL-bs6yz why you say that?

[@JL-bs6yz]

NB has the highest property taxes. NB has the highest income tax. You will pay more income taxes here on every dollar you make. Rent is ridiculous do to the fact the income property is taxed 40% more per year. Good luck finding a one bedroom for 800$. You will not drive a car here for 50 a month on gas. If you live in a house be prepared to pay $450 if not more a year to get snow removal We have absolutely nothing to do Even if you manage to find a job here it don’t pay well. And you probably won’t have good benefits . If you move here and you haven’t owed your car for 12 months you will pay full taxes on that vehicle again. When you buy a used car here the province will send you a bill for more taxes. ( I can give you more details) I can go on and on. I don’t recommend NB for young people. It’s ok if you move here from another province and have money.

Property tax rate is sooooo high here. People pay non- owner occupied taxed on rentals here. Good luck finding a nice one bedroom here for $1000 a month.

[@rps1689]

Insanely high.

[@sylviabeck1428]

What is non-owner occupied taxed on rentals? Sorry confused by that. Thank you

[@JL-bs6yz]

Non owner occupied is when a person owns a rental property. Could be a house or an apartment the New Brunswick government charges up to 40 percent more property taxes on top the regular tax. Say I pay 3800$ Per year taxes on my house if I rent it out my yearly property taxes increases to 6200$. I’m certain this only happens in New Brunswick. 1300 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment I think is average rent here .. I know people paying much more that that. New Brunswick is crazy expensive to live based on average NB wages

No requirements if you want to move to another province. You just have to eventually get your driver's licence changed. Child benefits are mostly federal. I you have children, I would not recommend NB, as you can not find a family doctor if you are a new comer and will be at the mercy of of walk in clinic if you can get into one.
