Hi, Dont worry too much about banks. Almost all the banks have a plan for newcomers usually including a free banking for 6 to 12months and a credit card to get you started. Some banks require a deposit for it, though. My advice is to locate the closest bank to your place, open an account to...

Hi, A recent study published in The Canadian Press reveals a widening gap in wage between newcomers and Canadian. The study team shows that the number one reason is DISCRIMINATION although the lack of trust in the credentials of new immigrants are also questioned. Please show the employers...

Congratulation to you both,It's amazing! I know that Physiotherapy and IT are highly in demand but I have met some people with PhD in the field of physiotherapy and still looking. Maybe you could provide some tips here so that those struggling could benefit from your experience.

One thing that people and Canadians are not paying attention to is that Canada is not the country of equality and racial integration that it used to be. People migrated from all over the world but few actually embraced the traditional values that Canada was known for. When I say “affinity...

I totally agree with Outbound. To be honest, I wouldn't have even tried to come to Canada if I knew it was like this. You leave your job, your friend and family and find out that everything about the need for qualified people is a lie. I feel that I was lied to and betrayed. I start to think...

Hi there, There are no odd jobs, unless they involve criminal activities. If someone extend a job offer to you, and if you are up to it, get it. Because, there are many recruiters here who hold jobs that you are qualified for but will never give them to you, simply because you are not like...

Thank you for the thorough explanation.

Hi Jonboy, Thank you for the comment. Are you saying that if someone come to Canada in May 01, 2010, he/she will not have to declare the incomes received in previous months? Thanks again

Hi, 1.You will have to file a tax by April 2011 for all the income you received in 2010 (in Canada and abroad). Depending on the country of origin and if you paid tax there or not, your income there will be tax deductible. 2. When you fill the application for child benefit, there will be a...

Qorax answered many of your questions. If you got your SIN dont worry about your PR or SIN cards. You will receive them on time. Your credit card will arrive in about 20 days if your lucky and made a deposit against it. It took me a month and a half to get mine. My credit card was approved...

Hi there, I agree with Leon. Do not hurry and chose a fancy mobile phone, you may regret it later. Get a pre-paid phone for few dollars a month. It is likely to possess all the features you will need in your first months. After settling down, you can search and buy the phone you desire.

Hi there, Mr. capriraj! you dont know who I am nor where I come from. You may ignore what I said if you decide to live in denial. Those who experienced similar attitude are in the forum. Will you describe them as losers to? The reality is that I see beyond my personal achievements and hope...

"Mostly depressing stories. So its not such a good country after all?" Honestly, Canada is great country and the most welcoming I never visited. BUT, like any other place, there are people who naturally discriminate and segregate between people for their life to have a sense. Some of these...

Hi there, This is not about any specific group. It is about protecting the values that this country stand for. We do not want people who benefited for the hospitality that this country offered them to spread intolerance that exist in their countries or their home towns. If you come here bring...

Hi, Based on own experience I really wouldn't recommend BELL for you. Also, be very careful, ask, ask and ask before you sign. The dealer is likely to said anything to sign you in. After that you may find that lot of his/her talks were lies. Make no mistake, if you complain after signing with...

Hi there, Thank you guys for revealing something many people come across every day but keep quiet. I lived in asian for about 8 years, and I can tell you that what I see here in vancouver is the importation of an evil behavior practiced by some people in their hometowns. And yes, Chinese...

Hi, angelbrat! I am glad that your raised your voice against some very disturbing behavior by immigrants in Canada. I have experienced the same racist behavior here in Vancouver especially from indians, koreans and chinese. In my case, I spend more than 8 years in Asia and see that many...
