I want to move to Canada, but I don't have any relatives or friends in Canada, nor a job offer. Should I go to Canada?
Canada is a very diverse country with numerous aspiring immigrants like you and me. I moved to Canada few months ago as a Permanent Resident without any relatives or friends to help me. Google was my friend and so were the experienced blogs to find exactly what you need. I have written one myself to help others though my experience. Check my Plan Your Travel To Canada And Tips To Settle.If you have considered moving to Canada, either you already are on the path to apply for a PR through Express Entry or you already have your CoPR. You will show enough proof of funds to help you settle when you apply for a PR, use those funds wisely when you move to Canada and search for a job. While I do not have more details on what experience you have in the past to help you find your dream job in Canada, but it is really not that bad. I have read both good and bad experiences of searching for a job in Canada after moving as a Permanent Resident, but not one can be exactly correlated to your experience. ONLY YOU can help yourselves at tough times. Do not lose hope, keep trying!For instance, I worked as a Front-end UI developer for 3+ years and when I gave my notice to my employer to permanently move to Canada, they were hesitant to let me work remotely. So I updated my resume to Canadian standards, updated my LinkedIn profile and started applying for jobs that matched my skills. It is very important that you apply for whats relevant to you and not jump in with a fishing net hoping to land one interview. I applied for exactly TWO jobs and I had a successful phone interview with both of them before I moved to Canada. They extended to schedule a second round of interview within a week of my travel. Fortunately, my employer agreed to let me continue to work remotely for the current project and they helped me relocate to Toronto, the dream city for Immigrants in Canada. Nevertheless, I still had two interviews lined up even before I landed in Canada.Take a brave step now when you can. Do not let regret follow you! Good Luck.
I Want To Move To Canada? And Live in toronto!?
I don't know if I would want to live in Canada Even if I was a socialist.that's why I stay in America, only thing here some people tell you how to vote and if you don't they consider your racist where you are or not..I just lost life time friends for that same reason. have been so angry about it. was thinking of becoming a racist my self, But I can't, as it just not me.. But Canada is a beautiful place.and but I don't care about having so much government in my life.As I have enough people telling me what to do as it . Good luck on your choice.
I want to move out of Canada, most likely to the US. Best place to live?
I am an accountant and have a good work background. I recently started working again about a year ago, because when my children were born (about 20 years ago), I quit my accounting job, which I had worked with for about 10 years. I would like to move to the US or Australia, but I'm worried about not being able to find a job and what not. So I need to know where I would have the best chances of finding a full-time job as an accountant, which I would make enough money to support myself and two teenager girls.
Should I move to Canada/USA?
My suggestion, although I've never been in a similar situation nor am I familiar with the obligations with which you're dealing with, is to take a fairly long trip to both the US and Canada. You say you run your family business which I'm assuming means you're affordef the luxury of making your own hours plus you do fairly well.I live in New York state which is outstandingly beautiful in the summer and equally as beautiful in the winter, although can be very harsh. Canada is also exceedingly gorgeous in the summer but has even tougher winters than most, if not all of the US. Nigeria is presumably a hot country year round, although admittedly I have no insight into its temperate patterns.Decide the places you believe you'd like to live in most and visit them. Email some realtors to find out housing options, school administrators to ask about the school district, etc. Obviously the biggest issue is finding a job. Perhaps you could move away first and once you've found something supportive bring your wife over.Like I said, I have no actual experience in a similar situation but I can say, do what you think is going to make you happiest. Whether you come the states/Canada or stay home, you'll experience hardships, so just make sure they're worthwhile.
Should I move to USA or Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
Immigration to Canada is based on education, job skills or profession, language, record and health. You can only be sponsored by a member of your close family or a company that can prove that there is no-one inside Canada who could take the job offered to you.. You're safe, Canada wouldn't take you.
If I was moving from England to Canada, which areas would be the best?
Assuming that you can get through immigration ok, I do not think work should not be a major problem but I am retired and no longer in the know about work situations. Unless you pick a place up north (and why would you?) most of the country experiences 4 seasons. Vancouver, being on the Pacific rarely sees winter (a day of snow occasionally) although most of B.C. does. Cost of living wipes Vancouver out of the equation anyway - it's not the cheapest place to live! This is Canada and next to the UK, we are HUGE. Lots of land and outdoor spaces, especially outside of the major cities. English is the main language outside of Quebec. Poisonous spiders?? Don't think so! Maybe a daddy long legs here or there. And it's nice to be good to the spiders here - they keep the other bugs down Other bugs being flies, mosquitoes and like that. Your cats would definitely need to have their shots, especially rabies. I could type all the info out but it is already done at this link: http://www.pettravel.com/immigration/Canada.cfm I have lived in this country all my life - 63 years and have never seen a bear outside of the far north and the National Parks. Well, that is not entirely true. Every now and then one will wander into Calgary and the wildlife people hustle it back to Banff. Not a worry really. I have seen even fewer wolves. I remember when I was about 16 years old, there was a wolf attack about 50 miles north of the small town I lived in in Quebec and I have seen a few in the National Parks. Some cattle that disappeared out west was blamed on the wolves but it is just as likely that it was rustled. I do not think they constitute a problem. It must be a myth. Hope this helps.
Canadians, should I am American move to Canada?
So I'll go through your answers in order here... Is Canada a nice, fun and interesting place to live? Absolutely. But it depends where you are to hit all three of those things at the same time. You can get the urban feel living in cities like Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal. You can get a more outdoorsey feel by going any place more rural. If you want a little mix of both, give Halifax a try. Do Americans get treated well over there? Of course. Why wouldn't they? As long as you're not a jerk, you'll be fine. But that's pretty much a general rule for anyone coming from anywhere. Is it easy to move there as an immigrant? Depends. You'll need to check out the Immigration Canada website here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp Are you allowed to live here if you're not a citizen? Again it depends. If you have a work permit or a study permit, sure. There even a Temporary Resident Visa if you'll be in Canada for an extended period of time. But you'll need to check out the website. I've got American friends who're dual citizens because they married Canadians. Cold weather? Only really from October to March or April. July and August can get crazy hot depending on where you live. The rest of the time, it's really comfortable. But if you're expecting snow all the time, you may have to go to the Northwest Territories for that. Anyway, good luck in your decision!
How to convince parents to move to Toronto, Ontario (Canada)?
I'm sorry to sound negative, but to get a visa to move to Canada is a matter of minimum five up to seven YEARS, after you have applied. There are millions of people ahead of you in the queue. Being American offers you no favours, you still start from the last position. You need no agent, or lawyer, just fill in all the papers here, pay the $ 475.00 application fee, per person and wait. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index-can.asp Visas potentials are evaluated on a point system. Nobody is assured a visa just because they apply. Your parent's chances depend on what they do for a living, trades people and professionals have an easier time to get admitted. Now, you are right, the quality of life is better in Canada, unemployment is less and the general standard of living tends to be higher than in USA. There are no guns in Canada, so nobody, or at least extremely few, get shot. The health-care is totally free (paid for by taxes) and universal for all without any, not a single bill throughout the life to any Canadian. Canada welcomes young and hardworking citizens, your parents are welcome to apply. .
