Your qualifications are only good enough to get you I to canada. Even if you go to Harvard or Cambridge when you get into canada you will find that your qualifications is worthless as Canadians only recognize their qualifications.

Chapman, I honestly don't care what you have to say. Like I advised Susanna open your thread and post what you want. It's a good thing you know I am rude. I will stop here because like people before me that tried to tell others of how canada truly is they were shot down. Obviously canadians...

Hello, One thing about canada is that they don not discriminate against your age. My husband is in his early 40 and me in mid 30. When I started I was anxious after being out of school for over 8 yrs but I saw people in my class that could be my grandparents. Here in canada it is very acceptable...

Firstly know that canada is quite a difficult place to settle in. Do not think that it is easy but prepare your mind that there will be challenges and put plans in place to over come. That way when you come and are lucky to have it easy then at least you will not be demoralized. The main points...

Hello, I am not too familiar with the USA but if it is possible for you to work while in canada then please do that because you will need the money.

We were lucky that our citizenship application took only six months to process. Also we never travelled out of canada for the 3 years period. We applied September last year and took the oath in April. Our case was straight forward.

Hi, I will share much more of all our experience. I will give an honest unbiased account of our experience and how to avoid the mistakes we had. To answer your question no, after a year of working in factories comparable to that of third world countries my husband got a job stocking shelves in...
