@maharlika:

ayg pag mahay oi... true, nice ang jud ang Edmonton. And it is a place nga among gi pili not because my wife's brother is here, but rather because it is a good city to raise a family. Even if wala siya diri, we'll still land here.

Edmonton is just like Cebu, as Calgary is like Manila. In my perspective. I have been to Calgary for the past 2 weekends and going over for another 2. Overall, hindot jud ang Edmonton and Alberta in total.

I've spent sleepless nights last year (November and December) to research the top 10 cities in Canada, but we narrowed it down to Edmonton and Vancouver. But then when we found out that 70% of the time it rains in BC, then we rather choose nga -50 and snow.

International Police imong bana? wow bigtime na diri! pwede ra baya jud to nga siya ang principal applicant!

http://www.joineps.ca/ApplicationProcess/InternationalApplicants.aspx

and dako jud ug sweldo!!!

http://www.joineps.ca/ApplicationProcess/InternationalApplicants/Stage%201/International%20Experienced%20Officer%20Information.aspx

http://www.joineps.ca/home/whyeps/salary.aspx

HAYAHAYA! pwede ra ka dili mag trabaho... ay na pag mahay, think it over lang jud.

It is my personal opinion lang ha... mas maayo jud nga ang imong bana ang ipa prioritize nimo ug pangita ug nindot nga work. Para maka continue sya sa iyang career and both of you will be happy inig abot ninyo.

You're a nurse and you will be a nurse anywhere in Canada, so you're career is already set! its not a question of where... it's just a matter of when. But sa imong husband, it will be a struggle, especially kung mag focus mo "ikaw sa una mag work kay ikaw ang nurse",

BUT, if you do it the other way around nga sa iya ang IPA PRIORITZE nga mag concentrate ug pangita ug work, then it will come out in favor for your family jud.

I suggest stop thinking about your nursing career for a while and help each other look for a job for him.

And yes there is a success story behind my suggestion here... this happened to one of my wife's friend who is also here in Alberta. They just came this year with her wife as the nurse... same too, ga tu-o siya mag lisod siya diri (kay banker sya), so he opted nga mag cashier sa grocery store... a few days later he got hired in a bank (3 weeks after nag sugod ako wife, same sila bank karon) and it turned out well! fulltime, average earner and ga sugod na ang career sa iyang husband and the wife works in a coffeeshop waiting for nursing certifications and im pretty sure in the next few weeks/months she'll be working in health services.


think about it.

hello isysy!!!! ;D

i find ur posts very honest jud. and one thing about ur latest post, na-igo jud ko ana ba. for quite some time, i've been concentrating on the thought nga mag nurse jud ko sa canada or if not, at least man lng, in line g-hapon sa nursing profession ang ako work. pero the main idea, as in ako jud ang mag work kay "nurse" gud kunohay ko unya ang akong bana maoy mahibilin sa balay mag bantay sa among mga chikiting (nga gagmay pa intawn, 5 and 2 yrs old puro boys!). kahibaw na ka, basta nurse, moingon jud cla, dako ug sweldo esp. kung naa na sa ubang lugar.

pero sa nag anam na kaduol ang time nga molarga na mi (hopefully may 2011), mora'g nag change course sad akong utok. i tried researching sa internet, unsa kaha kadako ang possibilities sa akong bana nga maka kita ug work as cook. (cook cya sa international cruise ship for many years)

voila! mas dako cya ug sweldo as cook if ever, than me working as nurse assistant or health care aide kay wala pa man kintahay koy license to work as RN in canada. and i even tried sending his resume on line, dghan jud ang mo reply sa iyaha kaysa akong resume.

mao karon, lahi na sad amo plan. ako nay mahibilin sa balay (which honestly i like kay mother instinct ::) ::) or mag part time ba while waiting for my chance to write the nurse's exam and ako hubby mag work full time.

so, ms maharlika, i-try kuno gwapa ug ang imo bana mag work una. maka boost sad na sa iya ego kay khibaw na ka sa atong mga lalake dri nga mas macho jud cla if cla mag work for the family. pero pa dungog-dungoga sad nga dili na na pwede sa canada kay patas na didto hehehe....(just in case ikaw jud ang maka work ug una)

sakto ka isysy, kaming mga nurse, pwede mi ibala bisan asa mi ibutang. and to borrow ur line, your career is already set! its not a question of where... it's just a matter of when

i love that line, promise! hehehe! sakto sad baya no? karon lng, nag libog na sad akong utok ug asa jud mi tugpa ani puhon hehehe.... mora'g nindot man ang description nimo sa edmonton uy.... unsa kaha maharlika ug adto lng ta???? ??? ??? ???

anyways, pls continue posting isysy.... whatever it is that you like to post. may GOD bless u and ur wifey always.... :) :) :)

in our case sa akong wife, we decided to go vancouver kay naa me ka poy-an ngadto, my wife's cousin. right now nindot baya jud and akong trabaho diri sa pinas, i worked as electrical engineer sa NGCP (foremerly TransCo/NAPOCOR) while my wife teach (C.I.). Mang hinambog nalang ko ha ;) , at my age (25 y.o.) my monthly salary rate dili mo ubos sa 40K net. I know blessed na ayu ko having that salary diri sa pinas, uban nako nga ka batch naa ra sa 15K per month. my work is more on "hayahay" side sad gyud, sugo2x sa mga tawo ug mangasaba usahay ug naay di mao.

few months from now, mo tugpa na me ug vancouver. hehe karon pa ko naka feel sa pressure, i keept asking my self - unsa kaha akong trbaho ngadto nuh? can i take it bah kaha ug akoy kasab-an sa akong amo, nga diri sa pinas ako may mangasaba sa akong mga tawo? hahay... kaya raman jud nako bisan unsa nga work, ive been trained soo well in my field, blema lang kay lahi man ug standard ang canada when it comes to engineering oi, unsaon kaha ni nako?

isysy - lamdagi intawon ko, should we go to vancouver? or find other provinces nga mas naa koy chance maka practice sa akong profession? total ang nurse bisan asa bitaw nah sila nga province? sayang man sad gud ang amo ka poy-an ug adto me ug lain nga province. ive heared nga nindot daw nga place for engineers ang ontario? can anyone confirm on this? i hope ma lamdagan ko ninyo guys, wala nako mag enjoy while nag pa abot sa day nga mo larga nah me, murag kulbaan na noon ko unsay life nga nag huwat namo ngadto. :(

@maharlika,
kami diay pwde mo cash advance nimo kay mas dako nya mo puhon ug income didto sa canada. hehe
@isysy,
salamat kaayo sa imong mga bulawanon nga mga idea nga imo gi share namo dha sa edmonton, plano nmo sa family sa calgary
pud mi settle pero sa imong gi ambit namo gi consider na pud namo ang edmonton..
pila ang tax dha sa alberta isysy?

@ ice_man
bay, parehas ta electrical pud ko pero wala nko na practice-salesmanship ra ako experience. karon gusto nko mo trabaho sa field sa electrical sa canada.. gi suroy nko ang Toronto,Misissauga,Brampton,Scarborough kay ni stay ko ug 3 weeks for landing formalities,promising ang electrical eng'r didto kay naay mga gitukod building under construction,nya toronto is a growing city. ang power source nila kay hydro electric sa niagara falls-ako nadunggaan.
sa akong opinion daghan ug opportunity sa imong electrical experience.
Ang toronto or ontario, taas lng sila ug tax 13% bisan unsa imo paliton, taas pa sa new york,10% ra didto.

status nako karon kay mo migrate ko sa cebu, :) este mo uli ko for 10 days,arriving on december 5 from DXB.

nindot unta magka kita-kita ta dha sa cebu puhon ,para discussion ug exchanging of ideas.

advance merry chritsmas to all....

isysy,

hehehehe, overwhelmed kaau sa imo mga info oi...pero basin na exaggerate nko ug ingon nga international police ako hubby, i mean police cya dri sa amo with 12 years experience dayon nakit an man gud to nko sa edmonton nga dawat cla international applicants dayon consider pa jud international experience..so, sa ako hubby ang maximum nga 5 years iya ma avail ug gtan aw nko ang sweldo....whewwww!!!! makalibat :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: mas dako pa sa reg nurse :) :) :) :) :)

at first, same jud me ni peanuts ug mind setting nga nurse ra ang naa bright future sa canada, mao ako hubby hesitant gamay mokuyog ky unya daw ug ako daug daugon cya didto ky mahimo daw cya BSN...binuhi sa nurse ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) mao sa dhang nakita nko to nga web medyo nalipay cya gamay pero naguol ra pod ug balik ky ang pangutana ug makaya ba nya? huhuhuhu, medyo d man gud kaau cya gud maau mo maningles sa tinood lang, :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( dayon kung unsa ko ka gutsy?!? (hehehehe, dili ni hangin ha, asdang ba bsan ibala pa sa kanyon) mao pod cya ka opposite..

dili na lang jud ko magmahay ani isysy...rather magsadya ko because of your encouragements, murag mas hayag jud ang ugma dha...tnx a lot ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

peanuts,

same jud ta hunahuna ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ...nice au na imo bana experience and qualifications oi, murag una jud na cya mahaluna didto ... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ky nato hehehehehe

ganahan na lang bya pod ko magpa assess sa alberta pero mahal lang jud kaau...mao ng inquire ko sa CARNA if pwede ba motiwas sa ato registration didto kung naa na ta eligibilty to take sa CRNE gkan sa CRNM..ang ila reply was, we will inform them if naa na ta initial registration sa Manitoba then they will advise what to do next...so, am hoping against hopes nga unta posible ky aro ndili sayang ang gasto sa assessment sa CRNM, besides, mas advantageous sa ato kung didto CRNM pa assess ky barato kaau compared to CARNA, d ba? bahala na unta ug sa alberta ta take CRNE ky same ra man na bayad...

ice_man and marco,

Kapaet ba ani nga news:

"Jobless rate up for Toronto immigrants"
ANNA MEHLER PAPERNY
From Saturday's Globe and Mail
Published Friday, Dec. 03, 2010 9:24PM EST
Last updated Friday, Dec. 03, 2010 9:30PM EST

Nearly one in five recent immigrants in Toronto is jobless – the highest number since Statistics Canada started collecting the data in 2006.

The new information, from November’s labour force survey, paints a worsening unemployment picture for the city’s newcomers that stands in sharp contrast to that of Canadian-born residents, whose jobless rate dropped this month.

Follow link for the full article: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/jobless-rate-up-for-toronto-immigrants/article1825182/
