If your expenses are not over the top, you can hold onto your savings but the likelihood of that is slim. Canada is expensive.
If you are lucky to get a job once you arrive you will be more than okay. It took me 5 months to begin earning income. Most people settle for low income jobs to keep afloat which pays between $9 and $12 per hour. These jobs could be difficult to get especially if you land in Toronto. To get the type of job you really want you may need to make sacrifices with regards to income. Overall patience and hardwork are the key words. No automatic employment is waiting for anyone and thee are many people in the system scrambling for the same jobs you are hoping for.
I have no regrets coming to Canada. I have made more progress in one year than I made in 8 years being in the UK.
Everything depends on your attitude. If you retain strong attachment to your home country you will find it difficult to adjust. You may not have as much money to throw around as you had back home. Taxes!
If you have made up your mind to be truly Canadian then let moderation be your driving force.
congratz!! stay blessed!!Canadian Love said:Finally..got PPR from Kingston VO today..Sept2010 applicant
hold on! what can we say beside that!! it's the waiting game!!fazal_81 said:Tomorrow 29 March it will be 3 years since I sent my application to LVO. They rcvd on 5th April 2011. I also notified them of addition in family and sent supporting docs, they rcvd them. Can this also take time for them to process? I will apply caips after April but I am keeping asking them the status, they dont tell me at all. They only reply the same every time I email them and its weird:
Dear Sir,
The documents were received. The $150 draft is currently being processed.
The documents submitted in support of your application remain under review and we will be in contact when there have been further developments with the processing of your file.
Regards,
CDD
Its been year they are giving same reply, they didnt even bother to ask for any updated docs or whatever. When I applied for CAIPS notes 3 months back and nothing was changed yet only the brought forward date was changed.
Regards.

There was some error with my email address on the embassy'S side and it was just noticed. This so called fast track system is a joke. Will make appointment today hopefully by August I will get the visas.
