Possible but not every company will go for it.

However, that's definitely something I personally have been considering. Downside: SK is so boring (no offense). I can see the benefits of living in SK but JFC, it's so boring. Spent a week there for a conference.

It's boring so no offence taken . I'm ok with it though cos I'm a homebody and like @GandiBaat said, I came with my own Buddy (an entire brood actually )

Ha Ha! The usual IRCC bullshit.

First they said they have shipped it and since it did not arrive, most likely they messed up the address or something.
Then they said put a solemn declaration. Did it in first week of Aug or so.

Then they said they are working on solemn decl recieved in Mid July. I mean hearing this since October.

I asked my M.P. to intervene. Here is his response... verbatim.



O Canada!

He said, for anything else he can move the sky and earth leaving IRCC...

You know, Canada right now for me is "You can flagpole anytime you please..... BUT YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE" kind of situation.

Missed 3 conferences in EU, Japan and Singapore due to this BS over last two years or so ...

Effing hell man. I have no idea why CBSA couldn't just print our PR cards when we do landing. What is the point of waiting for several months for the PR card when it's roughly 10-15 minute job to actually print it on the spot.

Haha. I came with my wife but I am afraid if there is nothing to do our relationship might get boring pretty fast. If all we end up doing is work, home routine and no concerts, cool bars, urban exploration then I feel like it will affect our relationship.

So, for those of you who are about to move to Canada and Toronto specifically:

1. Don't move to Toronto
2. See Step 1

On a more serious note:

• Everything got way more expensive. The same chicken I used to buy for 11 bucks in 2020, costs 13$ now. Same brand, same weight
• Rent control is removed on newer condos. So, if you sign a good deal, don't be happy. Your landlord can raise your rent by infinite amount
• Getting a place is super hard. Landlords play auction who pays more. So, 2300 CAD for 1 bdr is not 2300 really. It's a starting price and whoever gives more will win.
• Get all your medicines from your home country. There is a serious shortage of certain pills.
• TTC is not safe anymore. Be very careful if you take public transportation, especially if you are a woman.
• It's close to impossible to get a family doctor. I signed up for MRI. My appointment is in November 2023. Wait times are ridiculous right now.

Forgot to mention one more thing:

• Canada is entering the recession. Whether you are in tech or not doesn't matter too much. Getting a job will be tough. Better to stay back home for as long as you can or do the soft landing until things get better. It wasn't an option for me as I left Moscow in February 2022 and was borderline illegal in other countries and had to frequently move.

OOORRRR.....
Live in a cheap province and work remotely for a company in OT, BC or even the US . This is what my husband did. I am going to do the same as soon as I finish my studies.

Wish I had a wise wife like you...

Mine gave me ultimatum : "Calgary or me"!

I'm still waiting since Oct 2020. Got re-medical request in Nov and passed medical in Dec 2022. Hopefully things will change fast.
I think my application was among the ones that were assigned to inactive agents. I obtained GCMS in Oct 2022, the application was transferred from Ottawa to Montreal VO in Dec 2021 and there were no updates since then.

If you get a 150K US remote job, you will be nobility in Saskaschewan

Don't be a simp bro

 

[Deleted member 994371]

Don't be a simp bro

He should leave his wife and child behind, and start all over again in Calgary.

That's the only way.

 

[GandiBaat]

Don't be a simp bro

Dunno about you, but when it comes to Indian marriages, being simp is better. We have saying : "Yeda ban kar peda khana". Look simp but get reward.
