Dear friends,
I landed in Canada last year and i'm planning to move there perminantly within few months, i have some enquiries about life there , and any help will be greatly appreciated
1. how long should i still support my life and my family? and if i cannot get job after 6 months do the govenment give me any financial support?
2. I think that i can support my self and my family for about 6 months but if i cannot get job how could we ive there?
3. what are the available jobs that i can get putting in mind that i have MSC in anatomy
4. do any body has idea about life in newfoundland? is it costy? is it good place for new immigrants?
kind regards
1. Don't you expect to have to support your family permanently? The government do not want immigrants who cannot support themselves so welfare is not readily available.
2. You can't.
3. The same as anywhere with such a qualification. Do you have a job where you are now? Then look for the same in Canada. The website will tell you all about vacancies and potential earnings in different locations.
4. Anywhere is a good place for new immigrants with a job, but everywhere is costly to live if you have no income and a family in tow.
Newfoundland is
much cheaper than places like Vancouver for living expenses, but there will be fewer jobs and probably less rental accommodation than in more populous areas like Toronto.
If you are concerned about the job situation, do some research yourself on the internet and telephone potential employers.
If you are worried about the money I would also advise you to either -
*postpone landing until you have saved up more money
or
*go on a recce trip b]without [/b]your family and get a job so that you can be sure of being able to support them and get them to arrive later.
You cannot expect to turn up in a new country and then claim money to support your family from a government you have never paid any taxes to. That would be most unfair
