Hi gcctocanada,

good to hear that you will be moving to Edmonton, the weather is really nice here these days it even goes upto 14-15 degrees in the afternoon which is unusual for this time of the year (thats what people says). I am new here too and trying to get used to this cold whether but at the same time where ever I go people warn me saying it will be really cold in winters when the temp will dip to even -40 degrees. Hope you bringing loads of warm cloths with you.

Rest I wish you a safe and smooth journey to your dream land.

"WELCOME TO CANADA"

Thanks
Arvind

Dear All forum members,

I am planning to move to Alberta in May'14. All i am concerned is: -

1. My baby is just 4 months old and by May, she'll be 10 months. Weather wise Alberta is too cold, so would it be a good option to choose Alberta for my child's perspective.
2. About job opportunties: - I am having 7+ years of experience in accounting and i cleared M.Com from India. So, are there oppportunities in this field.
3. Benefits provided to immigrants: - Please provide what all benefits are provided to PR holder.

Many thanks,
Anubhav

Everyone has diff. opinion.

Ur baby has nothing to do with cold. so do not worry.

Job wise...AB is good in jobs...smart search will be need. But you are in accounting so you need to upgrade. Do research on it before you land.

Mayank
