Dear friends

I would like to share my Canada Experience with you. I thought it would be good for you too to get to know about Canada and get mentally prepared.

Landed here in March this year and applied for PR card which I received in two months time. This card is required to return to Canada if you are abroad like you came to India and want to go back to Canada then you need this card to board the plane and enter Canada. You all should make sure that photos you send are of wright specifications, in India photographers don't have experience of taking such photos and give us rubbish which is fine for processing but you will get stuck in getting PR card, as these peoples are highly specific.

Got Fido connection and mobile phone on contract. Here you don't pay for the mobile phone its free you just have to sign a contract that you will stick to the connection for two or three years depending upon on the scheme. Not all phones are free like i phones for which you pay few hunderd dollars to get it out of $600 which is its actual cost, the rest amount is waived if you stick to the plans for 3 years. Other mobile services are Roggers, Koodo, Chat-R, Wind, Telus etc. Keeping a mobile phone is not easy its costly. You pay for incoming as well as outgoing and receving text messages too. Moreover Caller Id is not free you pay $7 to get this service so that you get to know who is calling you. A good package with unlimited messages national and international with unlimited talking in a specific area will cost you $35 + taxes. If you use internet then you may add another $40 to your bill, for me its $25 for 500Mb and another $5 for another 500Mb. Its really costly. and in between you can't leave the services of mobile phone due to contract you signed if you break you have to pay $400 ohhh my god. So sign the contract of mobile phone wisely.

(You didn't have to get Contract you did a mistake, you should have done your research online and then look for phone. In 2007 there were just four phone companies like rogers, fido, telus and bell but now you don't have to go for contract at all.. now new companies are there with no contract at all like Chatr, Wind, Mobilicity, Kudo.... don't go for contract.. yeah if you want a phone like samsung galaxy SII OR S III Then go for Wind phone) $40 for all canada unlimited outgoing and incoming and free texting, unlimited internet on phone)

There are plenty of companies for Internet like Tech Savy which is best if you are single and just want to surf and watch movies on youtube or even download go for these guys they have unlimited internet starting from $25/Month(no contract)
Also if you have Iphone or Galaxy or Blackberry go for Wind and use their phone internet (Do Tathering i mean connect your laptop with phone to use phone internet)

Getting a room on rent is easy, you get several bhai from India and can get a basement for $500-650 a month, some include electricity bill while others don't. I paid $50 to get electricity bill transferred to my name and the bill comes somewhere around $ 30. I use token laundry and it takes $2 to wash and $ 3 to dry clothes. For your home you need a vacuum cleaner that may cost $100 or more.

(you are paying way too much, don't live in Downtow, for single person one bedroom basement (to start up) even in brampton, mississauga, etobicoke, scarborough, markham and woodbridge is Maximum $500 including utilities like electricity bill and also including laudry service, don't know where you living though may be downtown) Do your research.

Indian food is available in plenty but I didn't find the taste. it's okay okay type, I buy chole, rajma, palak paneer, baigan bharta, paav bhaji etc instant pak for $1.99 + taxes each. My monthly fooding costs me somewhere around $220 a month and sometimes more when I go out like $13 + taxes for a buffet. (I don't know what you eat thats costing you $220 per month for single person... I eat out once a day and two times home and like i am talking about everyday not sometimes, I eat out everyday...) If you go to Indian Grocery store your monthly food wouldn't cost more then $150 and this is Maximum.. I use Desi Ghee, and I drink Milk three times, and Chicken every other day.. and again I eat out everyday like subway or macdonalds i mean atleast once a day I eat out) My totall Monthly food budget comes to maximum $200.

Job market is not good for people like us, our education is not valid here and we have to do credential assement for $270 for various agencies like ICAS, or WES. finding a job in our field is very very difficult moreover to get a job you need canadian experience which all employers ask for (how can we get it, we are not offered a job so how can we gain this experience), few of you think its easy but is not at all. Sitting at home in initial days will bring frustation and I too completely broke down, because you earn nothing and spend so much. Bus ticket for a rout is $3 and pass is in hundred dollars its costly but I have it to go here and there. Keeping a car is not at all easy, u can purchase a car easily for $1000 + depending upon the model, my friend purchased Honda civic for $4500, but friends insurance is in several hundred dollars a month for new users. If u want to drive get Indian plastic card license with international license from local RTO and a letter of verification stating that ur license is genuine. After writing the written test you will get G1 license or learner's license and immediately G2 for road test and then your license. Exam fees is hundred dollars approx. For learning how to drive $25/ class is charged by few indians who teach here.



I didn't get job in my field and many many many are here its same with everyone except those who have big links and good references. For ordinary people like me its difficult. So, what I did is to take up labour jobs, hard physical work which many of us think is very easy but its not. Unlike India for 8 hrs you have to work fastly and seriously otherwise you are fired the next day. I earn $10.25 per hour and maximum for other labours working for several several years is $11-12 per hr. and you work for 40 hrs a week, and 8 hrs a day from Mon to friday and when on saturdays and sundays u think to go out you find shopping malls closed as they open for a short period on weekends.

(Problem comes when we get frustrated and give up and don't do our research properly, Go to YMCA they will help you find a proper job.
If you work 40 hrs per week and your salary is $10.25 then your monthly salary should be $1500.. you don't have to do two jobs to make $1500

So overall from my point of view I enjoy quality life but not money wise

I earn $2000 by working in two shifts and get $1600 after tax deduction.

$1600 my salary - $100 for mobile and internet bill - $600 room rent - $200 food - $ 120 bus pass - $ 25 electricity bill - $ 25 clothes washing - $50 if you eat out = I actually save $480 which is equivalent to indian rupees 24000. with this many many like me can't purchase own home ever here and can't send anything back to home. Only thing I want to say in this paragraph life is very hard unlike what many of us think and is not cakewalk.

bye think twice.

Send me your education info and I can definitely let you know what to do and get you a sitting job where you don't have to work as labour.
if your english is good enough and you are educated I can definitely get you in atleast in some call centre to get canadian experience to start up with and to apply for next jobs.

you just started and you are frustrated buddy.. Indian's have made big world in Canada..

One of my known guy came to Canada in April this year and he is already working in a nice job, he didn't even have to go for any evaluation or any upgradation... I have plenty of known guys who are settled in some months may be 2 or three or some may be maximum 6 months.
and they are enjoying life with money as well.


Thanks

Dear Anurag, thanks for sharing your story!! But being a new immigrant in any Country we have to survive initialy, though my sympathy is with you but best of luck for your future. Go to local college and get some local qualification (part-time). Your point of view would be changed after a year or two.

For International courier I would recommend feDex and for local courier there are many company..better go to the nearest one!!

rabb rakha

Friends,
Wanted to check with you all as to which is the best option to send passports to ndvo?
Is blue dart better or is fedex better or the speed post?
Also, the ndvo office address is a po box address, so do you still get to know who signed for the package? I remember seeing in earlier posts the names of personnel frpm ndvo who signex for them. If its a po box address, then how come somebody signs for it
Called.fedex and they said they dont deliver to po box addresses....
What has been your experiences when sending passports to ndvo?

On another note hope all is well with al of you....havent been able to go through all previous posts for the last 3 days yet....take care guys and all the best
Cheers,
Seminole

Hello Everyone Here

Kiven aa Babbu Prah ?

I was out last week as my mom and bro was hospitalized cos of stomach infection. u all know Delhi govt supplies pure form of drinking water so this infection was govt.'s gift.

Any ways I would like to share and ask u guys something. Seniors please advise and share exp if any

I got my medical Request on 3rd July 12. They asked for PP, RPRF, medical and P.C.C. from New Zealand. For P.C.C they mentioned

"From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer
since the age of 18, provide an original police clearance certificate for yourself. FROM
NEW ZEALAND.The PCC submitted is not acceptable. Please find attached NZ Police
Certificate request with this letter. This must be received at this office by: 08/18/2012" (copy and paste)

I have sent every thing along this consent form they sent me so they can carry on do Police check on my behalf.

My question is as I was in Canada for 2 years and now in India from 10 months. Though I sent P.C.C from both these countries along with my file, does this above mentioned paragraph states that I have to sent them Canadian and Indian P.C.C again? They mention NEW ZEALAND in capital letters. so I assumed only New Zealand. Along with my passport I sent them covering letter asking the same "Do I have to send them a P.C.C again for Canada and India".

I have not received any correspondence from them referring to this yet. I did email and CSE too. But no replies.

I checked with some people who got their MR recently and P.C.C was requested along.
In Babbu's case they didn't mentioned countries as Babbu was in UK also. And other guy I cant recall name rite now, in his case INDIA (in capital letters) was clearly mentioned.

On the other side, I checked with my bank they said RPRF was cashed on 14July12 (Babbu please update in excel sheet)

How should I take these things. Please share and advise guys if same experiences, that would be highly appreciated.

Thanks
God Bless You All

Its not like that Jitu Bhai

I am just trying to say ke bhai bacho ki tarah rone kyu lag jaate ho.
when you come to a new country you have to work hard and do your research properly, don't just go for whatever relatives say.

I have seen International Students and people who don't have work permit they Make good money,
Even for myself Uppar wale ki dya se I never had to go to any factory ever ( I did hard jobs like construction, pizza and other but i didn't cry)
I worked in best companies sometimes even without any permit lol..

I know students who work full time and Make like $3000 cash,

If you are a Permanent Immigrant you just have to take a deep breath and do your research and get to the right place at right time.


baaki rahi phone bills ki baat if you can't do your research or can't ask questions from sales guys then sorry Canada is not for you.


Thanks

Dear all,
[size=15pt]
I have received Our Pcc from UK today by post, I have dispatched my Landing fees DD(wrote my name,file and pp number on back side of DD) along with PCC from UK and India (me and wife) and passports (me,wife and son) and proof of Medical to NDVO by ON-DOT courier services.

Please pray for my smooth and quick processing.

[babbu.mann]

As u have send them a query, better wait for response and if possible apply for Indian PCC from SP office (now possible from RPO as u have dispatched your PP to NDVO) or get Canadian PCC for future consideration if they demands it, send it to them asap. Just wait, as your medical is received and fees is encashed so there is nothing to worry.

rabb rakha

Now what should I do ?????
