How about reading the post well before replying? I wrote "next to impossible" which means ALMOST impossible but not impossible

There is also a luck factor. I immigrated when Quebec was open for skilled immigration in non priority fields. I had a pretty much useless field of studies (economics) giving me 0 points on the skill scale and only 6 months of work experience. But because I was fluent in english and french I...

Getting job from overseas with no work permit is next to impossible. Most employers would not go into the trouble of hiring foreigners and getting work permit for them while there is local pool of candidates. Possible ways are 1. Instead of applying as FSW, find ways to immigrate as provincial...

Excellent resume of immigration point system!

You do not need to have entered Canada to get PR. The majority of immigrants to Canada see Canada for the first time when they land as PR.

In this case you can use phone to contact employers. Yes, I am on my second job in Montreal now and I got both jobs by directly walking into the HR office of the company. However, both are call center jobs that have nothing to do with my education (PhD in Economics, UK). I never got any replies...

Bravo emamabd!

If you live in Toronto, it will be very hard. For a typical survival job like Tim Hortons attendant you will be getting about 10 $ per hour before tax. Assuming 20 hrs per week, it will be about 800 per month all of which will go into rent. You will need to share flat with at least 5 people and...

In principle, online applcations are too many for each post and even very good resumes get lost. From my experience, the most effective method of getting job is going to HR of the company in person with your CV. This is very common in Canada. Or at least you can phone them once offices open...

Yes, Vanier and Dawson give english programs but I strongly suggest to take a french course instead to clearly show to employers that you have a good command on french when you will be applying for jobs.

There are 3 types of cegep degrees - DEC general, DEC technique and AEC. Only the first is just a preparation for university, the other two directly lead to jobs. In fact, after AEC you cannot be admitted to university. There are plenty of good jobs for DEC and AEC holders and these are...

There are about 10 cegep in Montreal and you can choose among their AEC programs in accounting by browsing their websites. They will ask your birth certificate, PR card, medical card and the Evaluation Comparative des etudes hors du Quebec (or at least a letter from MICC that you applied...

In order to be accountant, you will need to be member of one of Ordres des comptables. In order to become member, you will need to have the equivalent of quebecois Bachelor in accounting, finish post graduate degree in management, finish an internship that will last about 2 years and sit...

Yes, Berri is mostly occupied by english speaking tourists and is in downtown where you hear english more often than french. Their reception is only open 1 hour a day so I suggest booking in advance. I cannot comment on linguistic content of any neighborhood as I never paid attention to this. I...

Not only arabic but any certificate not in English/French must be translated by a member of OTTIAQ. I spent around 200$ on translations, submitted in June and till now have no reply. Luckily I enrolled into a Quebec college and the college will give me a letter which I can send to MICC to speed...

I am aware of that. I have just completed PhD in UK and I do have contacts in academic field However I am not interested in academic career. Writing and resubmitting to journals the same article for the rest of my life and seeing the same indifferent teenaged faces who just came to get a piece...

Yes I landed in Montreal and I am still here. I started searching outside Quebec though because I am unable to get any qualified job here. It is my 10th month in Canada and I am still working in call centre. The only serious interview I got in these months was a university interview in Toronto...

Depends on immigrant category. For those who were selected as skilled immigrants, csq is a must. If one has it, one must present it. RAMQ clearly states it http://www.ramq.gouv.qc.ca/fr/immigrants-travailleurs-etudiants-etrangers/assurance-maladie/Pages/inscription.aspx

I am not familiar with St Nicolas street but if you are close to any metro station, you will commute easily. The metro lines are not very long in Montreal. Neighbourhoods are not segregated by language, so you will find a mixture of francophones and anglophones in each place. Regarding halal...

It is possible to find a single studio for 500 CAD but it will be quite far from metro and will be closer to the end of metro lines (like Angrignon, Henri Bourassa). Most leases are 1 year long here so you should be looking for lease transfer adverts (means someone will be desperate to transfer...
