helo,

i understand u and ur husband are physiotherapists practicing in India, few things i need to know about u ur age, financial status and english skills. i tell u y i asked u all these.. i am already PR, i had been to Canada last may stayed for 2 months came back in july to india. Jobs are never easy in Canada, coz the population of Canada is just under 3.2 crore, this is a fair indication that.. less population---less generation of jobs is a simple logic... but in usa its different close to 30 crore population... so more jobs. Canada job market is so ridiculous coz they never advertise on the net or in print media, so u have to find social connections and then knock the employer door when u get a lead from someone. So this is time consuming and laborious, and the funds u take with u from india mean while get exhausted,this creates enormous tension. Even survival jobs are tough to get because they look for experience and how does one get experience unless the employer employs u. This is like chick comes first or egg. now if ur young u can take the pressure for more years till u get a job, if ur english is good ur better placed and ir u hav enough funds u can support till u get a job.. thas y i asked u the first 3 questions and now u decide wht to do..
hii sir..
this is mayank...a physiotherapist from india..
if you remember...you asked me some ques regarding my age, financial status and English language...!!!
sir.. i am a 30 and my wife is 29...
i scored 8 in ielts
financial status: our clinic yields 40thousand....thats it....max it goes to 50...that too only once in the last two years..
since it will take another couple of years to get the things on track..so we thought to get the pr and work outside..where our profession is paid well( as in india,physiotherapists are not paid that well)
i did send you the message..but dont think it reached you...if it would have been...then i am sure,i would have got your reply sir!!!
hope to hear you from you soon..
need your guidance..
reagards
mayank

Congratulations Montu,


It's very important to have a Full Licence in Canada.

Did you have one before? Which country issued it?

I had to pay CAD$75.00 dollars for mine. I swaped mine so I didn't have to take the road test...

Congratulations my dear.

It wouldn't help. U need a valid IDP to drive a rented veh. And for the DL u require the 'authentication letter' from your MTO.

Thank you Sir,

So Ontario i have to give all the driving test ?
Is that possible to get B.C license first and then change in to Ontario one.

My point is if there is way that i can avoid those test.

Please advise.
