Qorax, heyy how are you? I dont come to this site often but once i got a shock when i read from people that you quit the forum:p. As you said hard to get jobs with foreign qualification in Canada, does that include US degrees and work experience too? As i have completed most of my studies in US and working as a Licensed Civil engineer in US for last 5 years. i have recently started looking for possibilities in Alberta area. Lets see as i need to move down there soon. However, i am kinda scared to go to canada in winter as in US its still bearable in Texas where i live. Probably i will visit my hometown Kolkata before i head out for canada:)
US quals r viewed a shade better. But expect no miracles though.

Is it safe to assume the UK qualifications and experience will be treated the same as the US qualifications / experience i.e. a shade more favourably than, say, Indian quals/exp?

Thanks

I realize my circumstances are completely different than maybe for most of you on this board, but let me tell you, I admire ANYONE being able to get by with 2 -3 grand a month...! Good luck.

The Avg Canadian Annual Salary is $2200-2400.

For a newcomer expect to make the Min Wage for starting, ie $10.25/Hr in Ontario. 40 Hrs a week x 4 Weeks... Pls do the maths.

Not that it'd be the norm - but getting higher wages than that should be left to chance & fate. Many do fetch $13-15/Hr as well (in the start).

6 months hence expect $15-17/Hr. By 10-12 months u should be able to make $18-20/Hr usually.

Thanks sir for detail info we all really appreciate your support to of us

Hi Captain... it was nice to meet you today at Al Ghurair. You mentioned that by one year one can earn $ 18-20. But what if one's starting experience in canada is in some other job and then he shifts to another field?

Hi - This is bit informative and useful for prospects.

Whenever questions concerning income or anything for that matter are put, we expect two replies -
(i) for the new immigrants who are less than one year old and who are still to obtain a standard/permanent job; and
(ii) for the immigrants who are more than one year old and who probably must have obtained permanent job.

The above formula if applied definitely will convey a more meaningful message.

Thanks
