So i just got done reading all 86 pages, took me a while! Thanks to everyone who's posted here lot's of good information.

I'm planning on landing in Calgary later this year, probably by myself & will call my wife & son once i manage to rent a place. I have done a bachelors in hospitality & tourism management from Switzerland & wanted to know what the job prospects are like in Calgary. Would you guys recommend doing some short certificates from local colleges/universities or is it possible to land a job without Canadian education/experience?

Would you guys recommend applying for jobs while i'm outside Canada? Or will employers only consider applications from people residing in the city?

Also wanted to know what the current rental situation is like? Does demand still exceed supply or is it possible to find a place to live relatively easily now? Thanks for the help!

You did a great job going thru these 86 pages.

It would be greater of you if you could summarize the most important info/points for those lazy ones!!

Hi,

Me and my wife have received our Immigrant visa last month which is due to expire in July 2015 at the time when the medicals expire which basically means that I need to get there before July 2015 to get the PR card. However we are not ready to move permanently yet and want to postpone the shifting to at least 2 year from now. We are concerned now about one big factor that is what to do in case my wife gets pregnant, as we need to go for a baby now. I will mention my concerns in two parts below

1)I have read from a lot of places in these forums that if one delivers the baby in home country while having the PR for Canada, it is a long process to sponsor your baby to get the PR , I am not sure how likely the chances ate that you are denied the visa for the baby? Can you please tell me what complication are involved in having a baby and then applying for the PR /sponsoring the baby?

2)If we go to Calgary to deliver the baby, then I have the option to apply for AHCIP coverage which I get the same day I land, If we use the coverage provided by AHCIP for delivery expenses in Canada and then come back to home country for a long time (exceeding the 6 month minimum duration you should stay in Alberta in 12 months period), how likely is that the AHCIP comes after you to ask for the expenses back? I have seen only a few people in these forums who consider this a health coverage fraud and ask people to stay at least 6 months in respective provinces to avoid such instance however there is no example in this whole forum (except one from BC years back) in which anyone has been charged back considering the fact that the person has not stayed 6 months in a year to fulfill the residency obligations for provincial health coverage.
Here I am not only requesting to all of you to let me know if the provincial health care system ever came after such a person, but also please tell me if anyone has done so and never had any issues with the authorities so that I can figure out how likely can I go for this option, as delivering a baby costs alot in Canada which is difficult to afford.

Appreciate your time in replying and help me out here

Honestly. Unless it's good professional job. Do not apply from outside Canada.
my personal exp. In Canada job more through references, or through Agencey
Or once you met hiring Manager or HR face to face.

Team can some one help answering below...


Hi Aquib & Team - First of all thanks for sharing loads of info; It certainly helped.
I was wondering if you could throw some light on cost of living.
I am moving to Canada/Ottawa in a couple of months from Chennai
My salary is decided at 80k; I checked on the net and I might get $4700 - $5000 per month as my net (correct me if I am wrong)
How much will I be able to save if I am spending conservative; we are family of 3; wife and 3 yr old son.
Also is DTDC the best option to bring in extra goods?
Let me know if you can help by answering these questions

Thanks

80k. Ottawa. You should be fine. You can live same life what u can afford for INR 20 Lacs in Chennai (except Servants and house maid ) You can get mortgage 5X your base salary. With 5% to 20% down.
Can afford small SUV. And live happily.
It will be bit tough if you wanna send your children to private school but public school are good enough.
