Hi All,
I am flying on 26 Feb 15. My route is Dhaka-Dubai-Toronto. But my final destination is Calgary.
I need your kind suggestion, how to move to Calgary directly from Toronto? I will complete my landing formalities at Toronto. Emirates does not provide any connecting flight to Calgary.
I don't want to wait at Toronto..from the Pearson Airport I wanna fly to Calgary.

Few questions in my mind:
1. Can I get tickets at the Airport [Air Canada or WestJet]? I don't have Visa or Master Card, so I can not book from Bangladesh.
2. Do I need to change Terminal [like International to Domestic].
3. What is the cheapest Airlines
4. Will the domestic flight charge extra for our luggage I have got my tickets through IOM, where I am facilitated with double luggage [23x2 =46 Kg for each of my tickets. We are four].

Please give me your valuable advice. Regards.

How about this route Dhaka - Kuala Lumpur - Narita Tokyo - Calgary?

or

Dhaka - Hong Kong - Vancouver - Calgary via Cathay Pacific and Westjet?

1) Yes, you can buy tickets at the airport
2) In the case of Toronto or Vancouver, yes you need to change terminal
3) You will need to do your own research
4) Not sure

Hi guys,
I have been in quebec and toronto in the last year and it seems the job market is weak. I want to know how is it in Calgary? Please advice!

 

[ttrajan]

Job market very dull in Alberta due to oil price slump. Most of the engg companies are laying off people now.

It is better to take a course / program if you are not getting job in your desired field.

You may contact immigrant serving agencies for the suitable program or can take up a course in college / polytechnic.

We have a fb group named "Friends Canada". It is a Pan - Canadian group for discussing settlement issues across Canada.

Sent you PM.

Asalamualaikum rawdah, Apka facebook page Kaisay join kar saktay hain mei b April tak INSHA ALLAH Calgary shift ho Rahi hon.

The programs that they offer are mostly free. You have to meet the counselor and register with them. They will guide you for suitable programs as per your international experience if it is available with them. There may be 3 to 6 months waiting period to apply in programs. Also you have to meet certain eligibility criteria set by them to get admission.

PM means kya word hay? Facebook par apko Kaisay request send kar sakti hun???

How to join fb group is already mentioned in my signature. Just PM (personal message) me the email id of your fb account so that I can send an invite on it for you to join the fb group.

P.S. We only accept regular / real fb profiles in our group. Our group is Pan Canadian with members residing across Canada. It is not specific to Calgary
