Your credit rating has to be an international thing, so it will be transferable.

info-gc is completely wrong.

Your credit rating is NOT an international thing. It will not even transfer cleanly between the US and Canada.

that's right, a proof is do they ask for you SSN number when you apply for credit in Canada? They ask for it anytime they pull out your history in the US. It is tied in, and Canadians have SIN instead of SSN.
But there are three Credit reporting agencies in the US, one of them has branches in Canada, I forgot the names, but this one particular agency could dig up your credit rating in the US when you apply in Canada. Also if you have good credit rating in the US, you can get reports and show them when you apply for credit and they might accept them, but don't expect your credit history in the US to help in Canada. Bad history though I think they consider it HaHa.

yes you can do forex trading. anybody can do. but it takes time to learn. you need to practice it for atleast 6 months before you start trading real. best site to learn is www.babypips.com. there is a forum there as well you can join and learn more. there are also many other resources available on net to learn forex. you can choose variety of brokers. myself i use etoro. first finish babypips school. then try demo mode. you can use any broker. when you feel you can make money in demo mode, try real mode. but do practice it for 5-6 months.

good luck

Before being tempted to fall for info-gc's unwarranted pessimism, you may want to read this:

"The survey also showed that 85% of nominees were working after three months. 83% were working in their fields or in a related field. Finally, 76% of nominees became homeowners within 3 to 5 years."

Absolute garbage! I'm an atheist and I have never believed in any kind of God and I do not follow any kind of religion.

To say that I'm more likely to descend into homelessness, alcoholism, etc simply because I don't believe in a deity is actually very insulting. Please remember that Canada is a secular country with a high rate of non-believers where comments like that will not go down well at all.

If not God, some super power is there who is running the whole universe, puts lives in just human bodies (which are destroyed by their own family persons after their heatbeat stops), who is nurturing and giving foods to millions and millions of human beings in many forms. Some Super Power is there who is controlling Birth and Death of human being in this Universe. Otherwise can science with all its force and power stop or delay a death? We are here in this world by chance and not by our own choice. If we cannot have any choice about our birth, what to think about our future. Could info-gc have imagined that he would have to face so many difficulties. Everybody has their choice to believe in God or not. But it is until you meet disaster, failure. Religion not only calms your heart and your soul but it also creates human-friendly environment. By that way a sense of patience and strength to face the difficulties in life come. He gives direction, we have to act. No religion is bad, it spreads love and harmony all over the Universe.

So, why info-gc could not be successful even after making his best efforts. Non-believers should help him, if not God.

No matter what other think, its always hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
My query is : what are the job opportunities for Sr. Finance Officer working in Multi National Insurrance Company.

More evidence that info-gc is quite wrong with his fear-mongering:

Skilled Worker Immigrants Faring Well in Canada, New Evaluation Shows

OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 25, 2010) - Immigrants selected by the federal government under the current skilled worker program are contributing to Canada's economy, a new evaluation has found.

The evaluation measured whether the current federal skilled worker program is selecting immigrants who are more likely to succeed economically in Canada. In 2009, federal skilled workers made up approximately 10 percent of Canada's annual immigration intake—25 percent when one includes spouses and dependent children.

According to the evaluation, the biggest predictors of an immigrant's economic success are having a job already arranged in Canada when applying; the ability to speak English or French; and having worked in Canada before applying to immigrate. Having studied in Canada for at least two years and having a relative in Canada are less of a determinant of success.

"The evaluation showed that skilled immigrants are doing well in Canada and filling gaps in our work force," said Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Jason Kenney. "This puts some dents in the doctors-driving-taxis stereotype."

The findings revealed that the selection criteria, put in place when the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) became law, have been successful in improving the outcomes of skilled immigrants by placing more emphasis on arranged employment, language and education. Income for skilled workers selected under the IRPA criteria was as much as 65 percent higher than for workers chosen under the pre-IRPA system. Skilled workers who already had a job offer when they applied for permanent residence fared best of all, earning on average $79,200 three years after arriving in Canada. The findings also revealed that skilled workers selected under the IRPA criteria were less likely to rely on employment insurance or social assistance.

Among other recommendations, the evaluation suggested placing higher priority on younger workers, and increasing the integrity of the arranged employment part of the program, which is susceptible to fraud. The evaluation also recommended that further emphasis be placed on fluency in English or French, and supported the Minister's June 2010 decision to require language testing for federal skilled worker applicants to combat fraud.

"We're pleased the evaluation showed that the program is working as intended," said Minister Kenney. "We're committed to making it even better and will be consulting on improvements in the coming weeks." The Department is planning to put forward for public consultation several proposals to improve the program, building on the achievements in the evaluation report.

Attitude is everything for an immigrant's career success

Strong drive to succeed is single biggest factor in a newcomer's ability to achieve great things, UBC research finds

By Darah Hansen, Vancouver Sun December 2, 2010

Grace Yu is an immigrant that has carved out a successful carreer in real estate.

Grace Yu took a big hit to her career -- and her confidence -- when she first moved to British Columbia from China in 2003.

Her foreign credentials as a mechanical engineer proved of little value to Canadian employers, and a lack of fluency in English a major barrier to landing related professional work.

It would take her another two years of strategic networking, language study and career retraining before she finally found success as a realtor, a job she happily continues today.

"It wasn't easy," Yu said of her immigration experience.

Yet, through it all, she never lost her sense of optimism and an unshakable belief things will work out.

"[You have to] be positive ... that is the most important thing," she said.

Turns out, Yu couldn't be more right.

New research from the University of B.C. has found that a "can-do" attitude is the single biggest factor in a newcomer's ability to achieve career success in Canada -- more influential than a person's professional skills, education and previous work experience.

The findings of the report, entitled Secrets to Success, were released Wednesday by UBC psychology professor Normal Amundson, in partnership with the Vancouverbased immigrant support group SUCCESS.

Yu was among 20 people, all immigrants, interviewed for the project over the last year.

Participants (10 men, 10 women between 20 and 45 years) were split into two groups: those who arrived in Canada within the past one to 10 years and those who've been in Canada more than 10 years.

All were professionally employed within the Metro Vancouver area for at least three months and considered themselves to be successful.

Amundson, an expert in employment-related issues, said the report is not intended as a statistical study.

Rather, it's meant to provide an accurate picture of what it takes to get ahead in a new country.

"It's a valuable approach to study people who have managed somehow, some way to find their way through the [immigration] transition," he said.

Notably, 95 per cent of participants said the starting point for any newcomer is having a strong drive to succeed.

Confidence, persistence, discipline and ability to maintain a good attitude in all situations were repeatedly mentioned throughout the interviews.

This positive approach was enhanced through learning (education), networking within the community and by a willingness to take risks and be flexible.

Many participants said that temporary work -- including internship programs, practicum programs and volunteer jobs with non-profit organizations -- helped them to better understand Canadian work culture, improve their communication skills and gain confidence.

Of those interviewed, most, 85 per cent, also commented on the usefulness of having job skills that are in demand before coming to Canada.

Timothy Chen, an IT technician with Vancity who joined Yu and others on the panel Wednesday, said he quit his managerial job at a computer company in China years before he immigrated in a deliberate effort to develop more transferable skills.

By the time he was ready to move in 2006, he'd already landed a good job in Vancouver.

"Being prepared is very important to surviving," he said.

Thomas Tam, CEO of SUCCESS said the results of the report have broad implications for Canada, which relies heavily on skilled immigrants to fill anticipated labour shortages and sustain productivity.

"New immigrants are not a liability to this country. New immigrants are assets, with their new knowledge, new expertise they bring with them from their original country," Tam said.

Amundson called the report "a good start," adding researchers are keen to expand the study's scope to a larger group of immigrants.

There's interest, too, in examining immigration success from the perspective of employers.

"This is just the tip of the iceberg," he said.

My pleasure. I hate for everyone to think it's just all negative and horrible. Seems like evidence shows there really is a pretty good possibility of having a great life there.

You used the word possibility. Actually, anything is possible. It's possible you win the lottery by just buying one ticket in Canada, and you'll have a great life with that money. It's also possible you buy that ticket and you don't win. So you find work, encounter a bad employer who makes your job a living hell and you get fired and end up on the street with no money.

That can happen in any country.

If a person sees getting a job (based on ones qualifications and hard work) as the same as winning the lottery (a completely random outcome), it would make sense that that person might not do well.
