Hi, BLT & aed,
No I already changed my name and now it is also appear on their e-cas system. So I am not late, now I am only waiting for their test letter.
BLT you are right Surrey is a bit cheaper than vancouver but too much crime. Alberta is doing well, some of my friends and my spouse's friends went to Alberta and they don't have any complaints regarding jobs, savings, house affordability, etc........ Except snow ha ha ha

Yes BLT,
When you are new in this country, when they will not recognize your foreign credential, when you have to support your family (Wife-kids) than Alberta kind of place is good. I saw many people well set here in Vancouver because they came 25/50 years ago but those who are recent immigrants should try Alberta.
My many friends went to Alberta but because of natural beauty, no 1 position, good weather I stayed in Vancouver but now I realize you have to be a multi millionaire in this expensive city.

That's just it. Maybe you need to think about the job market too. What opportunities each province will give you and your family. Do you want to work for the big oil industry? Then you will feel at home in Alberta.
But, if you're thinking bio-pharma, financial and IT-tech sectors, then your answer is GTA, or Quebec for the former. What about schools, universities etc? I think there are more factors to consider than the salary & cost of living. Definitely, I would go small. Choose a smaller city and commute to work. It would allow you to save a lot on housing. Good luck.

When I called CIC to check on my change of address at the end of August, the agent told me that my file has been transferred to Montreal..
What is your timeline ?
Just to update..
I just wrote the test (19/20) and had my interview. The test was a bit trickier than I thought, particularly True/False questions; I thought all would be multiple choices but about half of them were T/F. Anyway, the test took about 14 mins and then I waited for about an hour or so to be called for the interview. The interview was straightforward and took about 5-10 mins. All the interviewers were young, polite, and friendly. I had my work records, education records, CBSA report, tax notices, etc. However, to my surprise, the interviewer did not even ask to see or verify them. I was not lucky enough to be given the oath letter at the interview, but was told it would be mailed to me within a month.
