By the way, I remember a friend of ours that landed last year in Ontario with her family. We helped them settle down by taking them around for opening bank account, shopping and finding them basement apartments, etc. Her husband was working as IT manager in India. He had no outside India experience. He had visited US for a week - official trip. He started applying from the day he got his I telnet connection. Within a month he got 1 interview followed by another. The first offer was less paying but a Fortune 500 company. The second was a mid size company but better pay but also that was a consulting position to replace someone else for a year. He was offered close to 90k gross. He was traveling by bus to work almost 4 hours up and down. After 2 months, he found an apartment close by to his work place (10 mins by bus). Now, he recently bought a second hand car because, they made him permanent but, the only drawback is, he will have to majorly work night hours. Remember, I am talking about Ontario. I heard Alberta is relatively easy to find a job if you are qualified. Like this, I know couple other people that got job within few weeks of landing. The reason why I am sharing this is to let you know that Aquib's success is not unbelievable. If you have determination, patience and faith it's absolutely achievable.
