hi bsrk68
very informative thread.
please can u tell me which is the best place in toronto to live for a single mother with kids.(pak family)
I mean from security point and different accomadities nearby.Do u think missisuaga is good or toronto for them.
thanks.

There are bad pockets in Toronto and Mississauga. I suggest you stay near Dundas and Hwy 10 (in Mississauga) OR Don Mills and Eglinton area where there's a big Pakistani community. Try to stay in a high rise condo building which will make you feel safer. Stay away from Jane/Finch, Keele/Finch, Some pockets of Downtown Toronto area.

Good luck

In just one word: FANTASTIC. I wish I was an HR guy myself. Contact me when you are here and we'll take it from there.

Safe landing !!

hi, bsrk68, just a few questions and maybe you could shed light on a few matters that has been bugging me. I'm a father with one daughter and I'm hoping to apply earliest of january. You posted here that a basement apartment would cost around $800, is that in the city of toronto itself or is that in the greater toronto area? If its outside the city, how long is the commute to the city? Will that be enough for my family, we're really not looking for that big of a space. Also, how much on average do we have to pay for telecom (telephone, internet, cable tv). And lastly, right now, between toronto and vancouver, where would you suggest i try out first? btw, I'm a filipino architect with a good number of years of experience (with family, wife and daughter, although they will just follow once I have settled down in canada myself). Thanks a lot in advance and keep posting.

Thanks for your query. You see, basement apartments are available in every part of Toronto and GTA (except some High-end like Rosedale or Lakeshore). $800 was an approximation. Some basements even start at $600 (My brother has rented out his for $650) and he has a one-bedroom basement. These apartments are only starters. Eventually you will have to move out to a proper accommodation of your own....and yes these basements are sufficient for small families. I have lots of Fillipino friends who can help you locate them.

Other StatsPer Month)
Telephone = $10.00 per month (VoIP Phone, North America Calling comes included) Don't even think about Rogers or Bell. Those are expensive and waste of money.
Cable TV: Rogers/Bell $40 (Taxes in)
Internet: $35 (High Speed)
Cellular Phone: $30-$40 Approx. Try Wind Mobile or Mobilicity (they have unlimited plans)


Honestly, I am biased towards Toronto. Vancouver is a nice city, but very very expensive, and also job opportunities are fewer than Toronto. Best wishes and safe landing !!

Nothing really. Just say you are a new immigrant. Landlords who want to rent to you will do, others will refuse. But you wont be homeless here...no worries !! There are plenty of housing options.

 

[bsrk68]

thanx brother for giving such a nice information,but these fee is for a year or for full course of 4 or 5 years?

Oh sorry. This is an approximate fee structure for the entire program (4 years and higher). This is Tuition Only.

Hi, bsrk. I must salute u. For ur unconditional offer to help. The world can be a much better place with people like u and other sincere seniors here.

Can u advise. How dificult it is to get a job in general insurance field in canada. I m a chartered insurer. Variou people in my field advised me that it is not easy to get job in insurance sector if u do not jave canadian wualification and experience. My chartered insurer qualification are considered near to apex in insurance qualification ib europe and asia.
I will really appreciate your reply, and request explorer and other immigrants to chip in too. Btw I have Pakistani origin.

P.s. If possible give an idea of renumerations in general insurance as well as insurance loss adjuster sectors

Hi Humsafar,

This is not my domain, but I will try to answer your question to the best of my limited ability. Yes you will need a LLQP certification to practice Insurance in Canada. See the following links:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLQP
http://www.thetrainingcentre.ca/faq.html
http://www.durhamcollege.ca/llqp/main.php?lang=eng

Having said that, since your qualifications are near apex in your country, you might be eligible to directly write the exam. Please approach Durham College for the same. Also try to get your qualifications accredited at World Education Services (link below) before you land here...to get a head start.

I have no knowledge on the pay structure, but can definitely say from what I heard from others, it is very very good.


Best wishes
