As a skilled worker, you will be bringing funds you can survive on for the first few months. It would be advisable to keep your living expenses to a minimum until you find a job because you don't know how long it will take. That is, do not get a lavish apartment, buy expensive furniture and a nice car with your funds and then realize you must find work right now because you have no money left.

If you haven't gotten a job in a couple of months, it would be advisable to look for any kind of survival job that can bring food on the table for the short term. You can still look for a better job while working there.
very good advise sir!

Dear Qorax,

No words to praise. You have been servicing the aspirants beautifully, amidst all different mindset threads, and calling you the CAPTAIN is apt.

It is very wrong to follow any successful stories when the matter is related to your life, money and your future.
Each person has different circumstances, and these circumstances which make that person got a job and successful may not apply to you.
The matter is not related to motivation since we are not in a school where we just want some motivation to write the homework but the matter is related to our money, career and future.
When you want to immigrate don't look to any story of anther people but just look to yourself if you can make it or not.
If you have your own plan and a target and you have your budget to achieve your plan and then reach your target with timeframe just in this case you will get all the benefits from your immigration. on another hamd you will just loss your time and money for unknown situation.
some people found a job after one day of landing and some people stacked in doing survival jobs for many years after they lost their money and their career and they couldn’t even came back their homeland.
the immigration is not a decision to say hello to someone with some motivation but it is a big decision that will affect your whole life, in positive way if this decision is well planed and budgeted or in negative way if you come without any plan and budget.
Do a lot of reaserch before you take your decision and come here and just follow yourself, your interests and your circumstances not of the other people.

@ Staralihaider

Dear Buddy,

Always think positive... Why would u come-up to that situation? Why do u think that after 'landing' u wouldn't find any job?

Let me assure u that contrary to whatever some members opine on this forum, there's no dearth of work here. Jobs r galore... yes, no one says that the going would be easy in the abinitio period - u may not find a work to your utmost liking, for sometime, but u'd definitely have a job - one which would put the meals on your table (as Leon puts it).

It'd not be rosy in the start - but at the same time it'd not be dark till eternity as well. I have plenty of friends/peers/relatives here - none of them have been w/out a job from 2-3 months of landing... Some since 10-12 yrs now have been consistently employed, even during the recession (which anyway didn't affect Canada much).

EXAMPLES:
Just for record... From our own Toronto-FriendsCircle Group... Let me provide u some real-time examples... Ppl who have landed this year... Many of them r members of this forum, while some from Trackitt; & a few others off-the-forums (I'll post their IDs wherever applicable):

Anushauc-1 (husband) [CanadaVisa]
IT professional. Currently employed in the same field, with a reputed Wireless provider in Brampton. Employed within 1.5 months of landing.

Anushauc-2 (wife) [CanadaVisa]
Banking professional. Currently employed in the same field, with a reputed Bank in Toronto (special mention -- next to her house !!!). Employed within 2 months of her landing. Note: She fetched 2 jobs & selected this one, for obvious reasons.

S. Kumar (in CanadaVisa, ID unknown)
Accounts & Finance professional. Currently employed as Sr. Manager Finance (!), with a famed company in Mississauga (special mention -- fetched the job within 1.5 week of landing !).

Adacol-1 (husband) [Trackitt]
Petroleum Engr. Fetched work as Technical Officer in a Mississauga factory within 3 months of landing. Currently not working, not 'coz of the company, but for minding his infant baby, as the wife continues to work.

Adacol-2 (wife) [Trackitt]
Elect. Engr. Currently employed in a fab company, in their HO at Mississauga. (Special mention -- Fantastic pay !). Got the offer within 2.5 months of landing. Didn't leave the job 'coz of the salary, while the hubby minds the baby (perfect planning).

Krishan (Trackitt)
Accounts & Finance professional. Currently pursuing a CRA course, with a large Tax Consultancy firm, with a job assurity (location: 15 mins from his home). Trg completes in Dec-2010, job commences in Jan-2011 (Special mention -- he scored 98% in the final exam, presently software trg is going-on). He fetched this work in 4 months of landing - no, not because of any struggle - he was choosing the right opening.

HMISABPK [CanadaVisa]
Clinical Technologist. Fetched work within 2 months of landing, a starter job in Downtown Toronto (close to his home), but continuing his licensing studies... Chose the survival job 'coz of being in shifts, for further studies.

Rupunm-1[husband] (Trackitt)
IT professional (ex-IIT Bombay). Currently employed as Head-of-the-IT Dept. in a huge Edn Institution in Toronto. Fetched the job within 48 hrs. (beat that !)

Rupunm-2[wife] (Trackitt)
Currently pursuing DBA from UofT. And, again beat that!, working in the same univ. Part-Time, in their Registration Dept. Location: 15 mins from home.

Explorer101 [CanadaVisa]
Accounts & Finance professional. Fetched a position with a Bank within 2-3 months of landing. Didn't take the job, as it entailed relocating to another city. Currently, most likely to be employed in another Bank, closer to his home.

Qorax
Took a course with Humber College, on Immigr & Border Security, as part of my application with CBSA. Course & Selection process completed, took 5 months (the process was such), Day before - received their offer letter to become a CBSA Officer. Joining date, post Trg: 12/1/2011. (I might not join, 'coz I've opened my own office too meanwhile - an extension of my Dubai business). This is my "spare tire", as someone beautifully described in the other thread.

SKM (not in forums)
College Professor. Joined a reputed Pvt. College in Brampton, as a Temp. Lecturer. Fetched the position within 3 months of landing.

AKS (not in forums)
Mech. Engr. Currently under trg & selection for becoming a Cop with Peel Police. Working as a Security Officer at Brampton (his home location) temporarily. He's 6'2" tall bodybuilder (becoming a Cop is his passion).

CharlotteJ (CanadaVisa)
Employed within 2 months of landing.

Trinatocanada (CanadaVisa)
Employed within 2-3 months of landing (if I remember correctly from her posts).
____________________________________________________________
-I've not divulged the real names & their companies.
-Most of them r with the forums.
-I've many more examples too.


The foregoing is my attempt to mitigate everyone's doubts about the job situation here. It's not difficult to fetch one - provided we have the right mindset. Ability, for sure, each one of us have, that's why we r into this foray, aren't we?

The examples would prove that I'm not talking bull, or am being too optimistic, as few had opined earlier, on some other threads.

Moreover, Immigration to Canada is not for making money, for which the Middle East (Dubai specifically) would be a better option, we r here for enhancing our living - our lifestyle, more so - for our family, our kids... their future is secured here, much better than our homelands (probably) - that's why we originally thought about immigrating, didn't we? We need to keep that focussed. Jobs or a business, we'd anyway do, once we r here. No one goes hungry in Canada ! But, a good-living is guaranteed ! No wonder Canada is consistently voted to be the best place to live & raise a family !

Remember: Perseverance pays !
