Hi Just be careful when applying for jobs on kijiji and craigslist, there are several scams going on there. I received two calls from unknown numbers (I believe they make VOIP calls through Skype). When something looks to good to be true then do not fall for it. Watch out for calls from unknown...

I recently moved to Ontario, Canada from Dubai, U.A.E and had my goods shipped door to door via Executive Movers. The consolidated shipment (shared container) took 3 months to arrive and was cleared and delivered by a local agent (Royal Moving & Storage) in Canada. All 60 boxes were...

I also did my landing in 2010 stayed for a week but I opened an account with President's Choice as there were no fees involved and it was hassle free and regularly moved savings when the exchange rate was good. So just before making the final move I just wire transferred all my savings via Wall...

Since your visa was not canceled you would be reported as absconding, I am assuming your employer must have reported you to. It is not regarded as a crime although you will be blacklisted and applying for a new employment or visit visa will be a problem.

I am a Permanent Resident planning to make a final move later this year. Is it a good idea applying for jobs while I am outside Canada, I mean do potential employers look at resumes of candidates who are not currently residing in Canada?

I was wondering if it is a good idea to purchase unlocked cellphones before coming to Canada. I believe that cellphones in Canada are locked to service providers and their service plans. Does anybody know who provides the best value Blackberry service for BBM, email etc. Links to the sites...

Thanks Umairz & TracyS, I checked out step up transformers and also noticed that the prices are high for higher rated transformers and the units get bulkier. I also have a few computer components such as a printer, LCD monitor and powered speakers that run at 220V but I may have to get rid of...
