Err...what? Did you just suggest that the Canadian housing market is being inflated in within the Canadian domestic economy? Vancouver real estate is flooded with chinese black money, as well as legitimate Chinese investors and millionaires. The bay area in northern California has also seen this...

At the end of it, it all boils down to personal preference.

The O/A Levels are the PUBLIC education British system, taught in private schools in Pakistan, but public schools in England and Singapore, and many other countries. And please don't go too far here, "many private schools in Canada...far better than any brit school". LOL. You mean to say they...

We were specifically talking about the education here. Public education in Canada is dumbed down in my opinion. Then they expect a sharp learning curve which needs much acceleration as soon as a student enters university. Public education in Canada is geared towards an audience where anyone can...

Techie people in Toronto? Vancouver is quite the North American start-up / software developer haven.

That's quite a glaring statement to make. I don't know about India, but my brother was (through the British Cambridge system) receiving a much better quality of secondary education in Pakistan. Public school education in Canada is pretty dumbed down, unless the kids enroll in International...

@ Flute - upward mobility isn't a possibility for anyone in Canada, native, white or immigrant. If you go to read comments on CIC's facebook page, or any CBC/Vancouver Sun/Globe and Mail comment threat, you'll see that white born-Canadians THINK that immigrants get all the good jobs whilst...

Why should he even BOTHER with the express entry process if he has already got Australian PR, seeing that he may have to give up on one eventually? "A bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush".

In CIC and any official Canadian terminology, "family" means your spouse and your dependent children. For adults, siblings and parents are considered "relatives" by CIC.

Shouldn't you be in touch with them instead?

What exactly is the help you are looking for? Maybe you should post for "organizations who help disabled people in Canada" or something of the sort. Canada is not an individual-help based society. Nobody explicitly distrusted you here, and as 'humans' each and every one of us have had too many...

Quite the stereotype you've typed in there, but funny because its so true in so many cases and we all see that all the time. However it still does depend on everyone's personal and family situations, but it does take years to rebuild. @Flute, you can warn people all you want, they're still...

There is a good chance even the airline won't let you board with it. However, if you keep the bottles inside the packed luggage, I think you can bring it over.

I think the first part of solving a problem is confronting it, or accepting it that it exists. Most 'successful' immigrants and Canadians in general, are still stuck at the first stage, which is 'denial'. However, I believe that such people are just the microcosm representation of wider society...

Re: Discrimination in Canada against visible minorities Lol. Sorry. It was just pepper spray. I am not going to get involved with all the bureaucracy in here, I missed my chance to punch the idiots and there's the end of it. I take it like a man, and give it like a man. The only 'damages' I...

as for the income, you're good to go. With regards to Quebec, I am no expert.

Re: Discrimination in Canada against visible minorities I think it was a well written post, going deep into the ignored aspects of the workplace culture in large corporations and what is it to be an outsider at the top level. On the other hand, there is no need to be all hush-hush about it, and...

ain't it the truth, gentleman?

please don't confuse newcomers with opinions. most of them are already confused out of their wits with all the jargon thrown here and there. Fairness and justice are idyllic concepts which do not even exist wholly in the law. I'm speaking from very recent experience, PRs do get CCTB if they...

If possible, also familiarise your parents with the use of whatsapp and other such apps. You could share your moments with them as you see it and they'll feel more near you by doing it.
