Chami said:Hi swapnochary,
sorry for late responce,
1. First of all fill out application, IELTS academic at least 7.5 and GMAT/LSAT if needed. (usually dedline is in February for fall course and in sometime in summer for winter course-check websites to be sure: http://www.utoronto.ca/)
2. yes it is possible, but u need to wright Statement of Purpose and Financial Aid letter, and yr Refference Letter should be strong enough for the scolarship.
3. Yes u'd better do that, there is no other way to get scolarship, while u r abroad.
hope this will help
Good luck,
Chami

Hi explorer101!explorer101 said:It is about $10-15 per hour, they are factory / office jobs, hard work I must tell you. May not be according to your potential but it helps. New comers are welcome, all they want is legal status SIN Card number.
welcome to Canada, see your pmOh!CANADA said:Hi explorer101!

Hi,explorer101 said:MAXIM placement room no 209 ( 1st floor) is in Malton ( Mississauga) in near WESTWOOD MALL towards KFC outlet. Run by a lady Shenaz, she has plenty of factory and storage jobs. Good thing is that she makes up to pick up and drop from the job, new immigrants need it since they have no car and even find difficult to travel. These jobs are mostly night time jobs and in night no public transit is there. Work is mostly in Mississauga / Brampton side.
I feel she charges commission on a higher rate and must be talked to reduce it. I will write her phone number next time after finding.
So land, next day apply for SIN card, open bank account and go to people like this, work & earn and then keep posting for regular jobs in your field.
Don't fake it -- but, be candid to them... tell Shehnaz that u r open to any placement... starters as well. The important thing is to join something, asap... quality progression will come automatically, after sometime.meena said:Hi,
Thanks for this posting.I would contact her tomorrow. Please do tell what would I tell her about our experience. Should we show her our current Resume or what should we tell her about the survival Jobs.
bcz when they c our Resume they simply reject it. I dnt understand shud we make another Resume with all fake experience or how to proceed for survival jobs.
