You don't know a single thing about our relationship, and despite that, you give yourself the right to judge us based on preconceived ideas or on the popular cliché of a poor thai woman wanting to live the Canadian dream and being dragged into that by a heartless western guy. I came here for...

Man, are you done insulting people who doesn't think like you? You must be the most annoying person I've ever encountered in a web forum... Do you realize that you've just spent 2 pages telling me something that my wife and me already knew : that it won't be easy! For the last time : I KNOW...

You told your opinion multiple times here already and it's pretty clear, we understand. But what I'm looking for is the inputs of people who actually live in Quebec and who have a direct and more specific knowledge of the Quebec banking or marketing industry or who have been in a similar...

Learning French will definitely be a top priority, as it should be for anyone moving to Quebec. If I was moving to Italy, I would learn Italian. Since my wife is Thai, I find it important for myself to learn to speak Thai. Learning the local language is the best way to show your respect toward...

Thank you for bringing a more moderate tone and approach. However, I was not asking to get an overview of the political and economical situation of Quebec. I'm from Quebec and I know the political situation. I'm aware that there's more banking job in Toronto and I'm not here to debate on the...

And here's my own quick story : My (recently married) wife and I are currently in Thailand. We first wanted to apply from outland in the next few weeks but, more and more, we feel like it would be better to apply from inland when we go back to Quebec next July. She already has a multi-entry...

I think SA is for Sponsorship Approval, also called "1st stage approval" here.

Very useful comments, thank you. Since we will be travelling back together, then I think it's a good idea for me to carry the documents that will be needed for PR or other objects that can show she's in Canada for more than just a visit. Also, I suppose it's a good idea not to show up together...

I could refute each of your statements because they are totally ill-informed, (I'm a journalist and political science graduate, by the way) but this is NOT a political debate thread. This is NOT the place to spread your hate for Quebec by enumerating all of the prejudices and false assumptions...

Now that's the kind of encouragement I was wishing for! I've just forwarded your message to my soon to be wife. ;) I'm happy that it went well for you and your wife. But since my wife if from Thailand, I wonder if more questions could be asked to her. She already came to Canada once as a visitor...

I don't need to add anything here, since your posts are doing more harm to your own credibility than anything else. It tells a lot about someone's ignorance when this person doesn't know the weight and the historical meaning of words, and cannot make arguments without using extreme examples...

Good job using 2 or 3 news items from the past 10 years that have been blown out of proportion by a few francophobic newspapers in Canada. For the last time, please stop spreading lies and hijacking my thread which is about a completely different subject. We all understood that you hate Quebec...

You''re obviously a very frustrated dude and a blatant Quebec hater, but I just can't let you spread lies about my home province. It's absolutely not prohibited to speak English in the workplace. The only things the law says is that French should be the main language in which official documents...

Thank you very much for that more respectful and helpful point of view. ;-) I do have an indirect contact in the banking industry : the person who takes care of the hiring for one of the largest bank in Quebec. I will definitely use that contact if needed. The French factor is obviously one...

I'm sorry, but you're losing all of your credibility here. This is just some prejudice that has absolutely no roots in reality. You're probably reading too much right wing propaganda from francophobic newspaper. I live in Quebec and I have many asian friends that feels as much "loved" as any...

Wow... Not really the kind of reply I was expecting. I don't mind getting straightforward replies, but your personal judgement on our own situation should definitely be left aside. We are really in the early stage here. We are getting married now, and living in Canada looks like the most...

Hello everybody, My wife in Thailand will soon start the whole immigration process in Canada and we plan to live in Montreal. I would just like to know if anyone has any inputs of the job market in her field with her current resume : - 34 years old - Master degree in Marketing in the best...

Thank you for this advice. Easier said than done, though. In reality, even if she will have to pretend that she's just visiting, her mind will be set once she travels to Canada. Since she will apply from inland and won't be allowed to go back to Thailand for 15-16 months, it will require...

Hello everybody, I have a question that no one has been able to answer so far. I will be sponsoring my Thai wife in the next few months. We're currently together in Thailand, but we want to apply from inland in July, since she already has a visitor visa that is valid for 5 years, after...

Confirmed from the website : "Generally speaking, if you arrive in Québec from outside Canada, even if you are a Canadian citizen, you will be eligible for the Québec Health Insurance Plan after a waiting period of up to 3 months following your registration. The Régie does not reimburse you...
