When planning to immigrate to another country, is it better to look for a partner before moving or wait until after relocating? On one hand, finding a partner beforehand could make it more difficult to move, as they may not want to leave their current environment. On the other hand, waiting...

It's a good way to score political points though.. It seems like most people on Reddit (I know it's not a good source) are openly racist toward a specific country.

Very quiet here lately... https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/canada-will-cut-its-permanent-immigration-levels-by-at-least-20-per-cent-1.7084925 https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/trudeau-government-lower-immigration-2025 Barring any last-minute changes, the federal government is planning to...

1. Hi, what should I put instead of the full address? Just "Toronto, ON" and no postal code? 2. That's a good point, so I should remove the country from all of my work experience, right? 3. So, in which stage of application does having a PR give you an advantage? After going through screening...

That is my concern. If I don't put PR, then they might not know that I don't need sponsorship. I have a local Canadian number that I keep active just for the number as I am overseas right now. Do they contact through the mobile phone? Hmmm, in my resume I still put that I am currently working...

Hmm, what if I am applying by sending emails and not through ATS? Should I put Canada PR in the emails? About 3) for the full address, what should I put instead? Should I just put the city and postal code? Such as Toronto, ON 123 RT2? I don't know what people do in Canada usually..

do people here put that they are Canada PR in their resumes when finding a job from their home countries? How to let the company know that we don't need the sponsorship?

If Canadian immigration is as hard as the US, who would come to Canada?

I managed to get an unsecured credit card from TD.. they said its because I never had a credit score in Canada. I thought we need to only buy US ETF otherwise tax would be complicated with CAD ETF? Btw, how soon can we get a TN visa after applying for citizenship? We wait for the citizenship...

Thank you for the info. Yeah, I went to TD and opened an unlimited checking account. It's pretty much as what you said, I need $4000 to get my fee waived, but in my first year, I get my fee waived because of a promotion. Unfortunately, for TD to open a credit card, I need to lock in $500 since I...

Hello, I’m at TD right now and to open a credit card, I need to lock in $500 since I have no income. Is this the account that I need to open to build my credit card? The secure credit card, is it?

Thanks so even when I just using it to pay my 30$ phone number monthly, the credit history will kick in right? The money amount doesn't matter? What else are good things to do during softlanding?

Thanks for the answer. I guess I will make a credit card and use it to pay my Canadian phone number so that I have a credit history. But, regarding the annual fees, can it be waived every time? or just one time because of newcomer offer? Thanks for the online banks recommendation as well. I will...

Yes, I mean let's say I get a monthly fee waiver, but I am not even in Canada to use the bank account that often. I feel that I sort of don't take the promotion maximally..

To be able to utilize all the fee waivers and limited time promotion maximally for one year when I hard land here? Is this a silly reason compared to building a credit history?
