So far I can see we 4 left. ShamimBD, anwar40z, talktome and Myself. Insallah we will get it. Sooner or later but definitely we will get it insallah.

Last year I went to US and one my friend told me wish that you get some time to receive your Canada PR. The more it delays think that you are more fortunate to come by and start struggling life after having a nice life leading in BD. So...let's not worry and just enjoy our time here with our dear and near ones along with Job cause once we go there we have to face the irony of life. Things will change totally.

Best of Luck to All who are waiting for MR and PPR like me... ;)

Dear mates,

Count me as well in ur list. I am also waiting for PPR.
Congrates to all who received PPR & Visa. Best wishes for u..
 
Thank you mates for wishing me. It means a lot.

Hi Newcomer!

I'm from Canmore which is about 45 minutes away from Calgary but I do know Calgary well enough to give you some advise as we always go there in the weekends.

1. For property management companies there are tons: here are some- hopestreet.ca, rentfaster.ca, mcmproperty.com. They don't charge any fee, not that I know of but if you decide to rent from them they require a month's rent for damage deposit and sometimes 500 to reserve the place which will be deducted from your 1st month rent. Most of them require a 6-month or a 1 year lease. You can also try kijiji.ca and craigslist for direct to owner rentals.

2. For furniture, thrift store. Again depends on where in Calgary you will be at. It's the best time of the year to get some good stuff in there as most replace their furniture in the summer. Another site where you can get good deals will be kijiji.ca and craigslist.

3. kitchen, comforters and basic electrical appliances - Ikea, Walmart, Costco and Real Canadian Superstore, they are all over Calgary.
 
For those planning for Toronto....

Toronto - Living costs (a guideline only)

U'd generally be Ok with $2500-3500 per month.
-House Rent: $700-1300 depending on what/where u locate/chose. Anything less than $700 would be shady!
-Heat & Hydro: If u take a condo, add another $100 a month to the above.
-Cable/Internet/Phone: $125-200 depending ur usage/preferance. Anything less than $125 would be tearsome!
-Conveyance: $100-200 depending on ur efficiency. Anything less than $100 would make u immobile!
-Fuel: Add $200-300 on the above if u have a car. Else u r semi-static... not hapenning 4 u here!
-Auto-Ins.: $400-600 if u buy a car. U may chose not to initially... but down 6 months - u must have [else u might be in deep sh1t]!
-Food: $1200-1700 depending on ur livability. Anything less than $1200 - and u aren't 'alive'!
-Outings: $300-700 depending on ur lifestyle. Anything lesser than $300 would make u socially dead!
-Stationery & consumables: $50-100. Anything less than $50 and u r doing nothing!
-Irregular purchases: $250-400. Anything less than $250 is not happening, here...
-Out-of-pocket expenses: $300-500. Else u r impossible, incorrigible, incognito!
-Kid's welfare: $150-250. If u have kids - u'd understand their addnl requirements!
-Childcare: $300-1000 depending on what u chose [pvt unlicensed to proper daycare]. It'd be if u both work & if kids r minors.
-Misc.: $300-500. U never know from where u'd have a bombshell! If not - it'd be ur safety-net.
