Hi,
I won't say you to differ landing just due to jobs , as I believe job is more related to your luck then more or less availability. But I agree with Scorpion, that you should differ your landing for few month due to weather .

One Reason , currently temp is in minus and its snowing (snow 2-3 time in last 2 weeks) , will be normal if you coming from European country but if you coming from hot country then this sudden change will be new for you and you not be comfortable waiting for bus to travel around, also this is not good time to start driving .

If you come here before or after snow season then you will saw a changes in weather simultaneously and you will easily get use to it , and got time for prepare yourself for snow.

Again , if you got some friends and relatives with whom you can stay then you can come without any fear of current weather.

But do not get disappoint , even if you land in snow season, you can manage yourself , life don't stop in snow, just get bit slow , like for people in professional/tech job, they will get to understand market, clear up there licensing . For other , you will get time to understand place, got even more time to research about better places for work, especially people landing in winter will be mentally prepare to wait couple of month before getting job so if you get anything quicker then you are gainer but if it took you two month then you won't be a loser.


Also , yesterday I went to Asian shop, and saw few handwritten adverts for house/basement rental,
Not sure if it's good idea but I am posting those adverts phone number so if you need accommodation then call and enquire yourself about rent , no of rooms etc may be it help you in finding your accommodation.
Numbers are (I just noted number and didn't noted other details ) 4033993592, 4305904890/6814890, 4035901071, 4036893913. These advert where in shop named OK general store so I assume houses should be in NE near Rundle area, Calgary .

Hi Acquib,
Thanks for the information. You are doing such a good job. I am just waiting to go home, pick up my daughter and then return to Calgary.
It has been exactly 2 months , from the day i landed i have not heard anything about the PRC. I am not sure how long it will take to come out.
Have you received your PR card? Please let me know how long it took to get it. If there is any number, i can call to inquire please do send it to me.

Thanks in advance.

May be it of any use for any of reader :



My friend who has landed in Toronto 2 month ago, has send his passport to UK so that her wife can get her lost driving licence reissue (in short - he changed uk address 3 month before coming to canada. Lost his uk driving licence and for lost uk licence if you need on new address then DVLA need passport to verify his identity) . UK driving licence got issue in 2 week and when her wife send that passport and new driving licence back to canada by DHL Courrier that time Canada custom has held his parcel or over 2 week in name of investigation.
Whenever he called them they say they can't comment and doing some checks ,and they don't know how much time it will take .

As UK driving licence with passport showing everything so he got his passport and DL without much problem after 3 weeks.

I'm really depressed guys. My FBI report came back today without the police check because my fingerprints weren't readable. This was my last item waiting for my PR application.

I've worked with money a lot over the years and my fingertips are very smooth because of it. I guess I'll need to get them scanned in.

Not much I can do, just want to let out my steam. I have a job interview today too, so lets pray it goes well.

Thanks for listening.

How was your interview? When are you joining?? ;D

The interview went well. They offered me a job with above average pay for the position. Then they realized I needed a LMO (which I put on my online and paper applications........). So the manager is going to talk with her boss and see if they want to apply for the LMO.

What am I joining?
