All about Canada

Hi to all,

I am new to this forum, I am a PR applicant in the final stages of processing, I expect to be in Canada by mid 2010.

I have lots of queries about Canada, I have applied for Ontario as PR, as suggested by my agent.

After applying I have been going through different websites related to canada, I have got some basic information about the other provinces, but nothing can match the real experiences of people actually living there.

I would like to know about the other provinces in canada, its weather condition, job market and things like that.........

What is the condition of immigrants from india, do they get job easily, roughly some idea about the life there, what we should bring from india, about the benefits an immigrant is entitled to and also the working hours and working atomosphere.

I ambasically from accounts field, do you think Indian qualification will be sufficient or should I do some furtehr course from there, will I get an accounts job right away, or do I have to work in smaller jobs to susutain myself.

Please reply and thanks

Mary

 

Hi Indian in Canada,

No reply after long time. Do post if you have any info for new immigrants. Really it would be a lot helpful for others like me.

 

Hi Deepa,

Thanks a lot for the response.

The indcanadian........ link gives out info on pretty much everything, never came upon that link while searching the net. Nowadays whenever I am on the internet, its like Canada, canada and canada, even on google earth.

The other link on Ontario is also good, but what do you think deepa, most of the people are telling me don't go to Toronto, either try Alberta or Saskatchewan. But heard the winter is pretty harsh there, but seems lots of opportunities for immigrants. I very well know that the initial years will be pretty hard, and you cant expect to get everything handed out to you on a silver platter.

I am coming with family, my husband and daughter who is 5 1/2 years old. So would like to settle somewhere where we both will be able to get jobs and have good schools around.

By the way what are the timings for school, do the working couple leave their children in day care facility after school. I have heard in Canada it is illegal to leave children below 12 years alone in the house. If there are day care facilities, is it a paid service or not?If yes can you give me a rough idea bout the cost?

I know I am being a pest asking you so many questions, you see I don't have any relative in Canada, that's why I am asking all my queries on this forum.

Once again thanks a lot and looking forward for your PDF document. Take your own time to respond and Wish You A Very Happy New Year.
