I recently got my PR and we plan to move to Canada soon. The problem is that my husband cannot come with me right now. because he has two more years of contract with the present employer. So my question is,
1.If me and my 3 year old son move first, is it possible for me to take care of him and go for work?
2.Is there any option to keep him in daycare while I work and how much does it cost in Toronto?
3.Another thing is that I have to study a 6 months course in Canada before getting registration in my profession. so, i have to study, do household chores, teach and take care of kid and have to work. is it practical?
4. if not, we have to find an alternative in this regard.Thats y

Thanks in advance

As a satellite family, why don't your husband get a high paid job to support you and your child in Toronto? Then you can do household chores, take care & teach your child, study, etc at least in your first 6 months before you started your profession.

Edit: I understand the husband is under contract with current employer, but can't him get a second job? Does it have to be Toronto? You realize rent there is higher than cities such as Winnipeg?

Many women do it everyday. Not going to say it is easy though. Depending where you are settling daycare can be very expensive. In Toronto for a 3 year old you are looking at between $1200-1800/month depending where you live. Rental prices are also quite high depending where you plan to relocate so you will have to see if both are feasible.

Assume that you know that although you say your husband cannot come with you right now he will still need to complete a soft landing to activate his PR status and then return home to complete his contract. Apologies if you already know this but not mentioned in your post, but is important.

If you have any questions about migrating to Canada and you have already gotten your UIC number, I'd like to encourage you to register with YMCA's Next Stop Canada.

NextStopCanada.ca is a great way to find out about life in Canada, how to prepare for your move, what you need to do before you leave your home country and how you can bring your belongings tax free when you land in Canada.

It is a CIC funded pre-arrival services program to help people from allover the world who are in the process of coming to Canada or have done a short landing.

They focus on the needs of the entire family, youth, adults and elders; and though they are focused on Ontario, they are offering Canada wide resources.

They are a team of immigrants themselves who speak many different languages and want to share their insider knowledge which is extremely important to know before arriving in Canada. It can save you money, time and bring you on a clearer road to success.

These services are free, as the Canadian Government funds them especially for you!

Ask them everything you want to know! Contact them as many times as you need answers.

You can contact all the pre-arrival services funded by CIC, you have the right to use all of them for free. If you dont like a service , you may move on to the next one until you find a good fit for you.

You need one of these documents to register:

Medical Examination or Security request letter
Letter requesting for passport submission
IRCC invitation letter to obtain pre-arrival services
Canadian Permanent Resident Visa
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) letter
