Received 4 PPR’s yesterday.

I received pprs from Sydney,Ottawa, Ndvo and Warsaw. It seems my file was just juggling here and there after being approved for 3 months.

Wait was too long and have to sacrifice many things on the way. Chapter closed.

Not happy because of long wait but I hope you all get soon as well.
Congratulation mate!!! Really happy for you. Hope this brings much awaited calmness to you. :)

My main challenge was finding a decent job even though I completed an MBA from the top business school in Canada...one thing about Canada that's not good is that they don't consider any work experience in any other country worth anything at all...so its not so easy to find work...

Unfortunately I cannot consider myself settled yet, even though I have graduated now, working for 6 months-ish...that's cause my family is still in Pakistan...feels like my life has been in a limbo for 2 years...now 8th month of post AOR...don't know how long I can just sit around and wait here...
...and the current economy makes finding a job even harder now....

Any jaw-droppingly beautiful spots near where you live? If I travel with friends for a vacation there will you treat us to a lunch/dinner? :p
The closest jaw-dropping spot is Banff which is in Alberta and is 6 hours drive to Saskatoon. There are some small lakes and parks in SK that people go like Black Strap and Waskesiu lake. Next summer, if you were around, shoot me a message and we can go have lunch :)

Trying not to be jealous about my lack of invite.

I feel for you, man. You've made a lot of progress and soon you will get your PR and maybe bring the family ?

What is your application status ?

There are pros and cons to each place. Depends on personality, I think.

Saskatchewan:
Cheaper rentals, cheaper car insurance, bus pass (80$/month), immediate Health Card (They issue immediately after you reside in the province), easier Driver's license test, extremely cold (windchill of -30 to -50 is very frequent in SK), small boring city, no events, mostly farming, no traffic

GTA:
Expensive rentals, expensive car insurance (could be double than SK if you are a new driver), expensive bus pass (140$/month), 3 months waiting for the Health Card, difficult procedure for full driver's license, warmer weather with more snow compared to SK, big city, lots of events and fun activities, lots of traffic.

Hope it helps
GTA would be our choice in this case. We do want to see how it's like in the other provinces.

I think the first year is more sort of a provisional year and you might end up moving to another province. BC has been our second choice. I heard you had -40 lately in SK.
