Few Information for Newcomers (on request from fellow Bangladeshi)

[dubaiite]

Thanks Maddy.

One of the forum members, emceemouli had made a Google site in regards to new immigrants in Canada. There is a lot of good info on Calgary, AB. You can check this out if you haven't already:
https://sites.google.com/site/newcanadianimmigrants/living-in-alberta/living-in-calgary

I've never been to west coast, so can't really suggest anything randomly. But if you need some specific info, I can search for it and let you know.

I don't think Concord would offer you residential services. In that case, you may either live North (Vaughan) or South (York). I would suggest to look for places in Maple or Thornhill. Richmond Hills and King City are well-known for their living/economic standards. You may want to avoid Steeles if you want to live in South. FYI, if you have school going kids; you may have to settle down with 2-bed apartment.

Here is an interactive map of Vaughan in regards to crime rates:

I think this thread has to be a sticky. Is there anyway to approach admins and make this a sticky, probably alongwith other posts such as this?
