Nov to Mar is not good time to go, as its too cold and new jobs are very few. Best is to go after March

As I talked to my cousin in edmonton, he is in aview that British Columbia and Ontario are big provinces and economy are based on financial market and if any downfall happen in european or US market job market become worse in these provinces becouse they are dependent on other markets too.

As in Alberta both Calgary and Edmonton are rich in Oil Gas therfore economy in Alberta is sustainable and other country crisis does not effect them. on other hand majority of the immigrants prefer to go to ontario, Toronto or British columbia which also effect the job market for new immigrants.

I think other guys who are in Canada will guide us in better way.

Thanks dude. It's good to get info from whom already living there. What is the good time to land there? What about living cost, kids school system, Survival jobs market as well specific Information Technology industry jobs? I would really appreciate if you or any other senior elaborate more. Thanks a lot.

Dear Umair,

Can you check with your cousin about the monthly expense in Edmonton

Cost of:
- One Bed Room
- Two Bed Room
- Water/Electricity
- Mobile
- Internet
- Transportation
- Laundry
- Kitchen (food) for 2 adults
- Clothing/Leisure etc

This will help a lot to calculate the monthly expense

I mentioned earlier that you will not get a direct flight to Edmonton from anywhere except some european countries. You can check with some travel consultant for Lahore - London - Edmonton.

When you want to travel???
