In addition, define how a newcomer arranges private residence.

1- University / College dormitory is quite expensive or hella expensive :D but its stable u get meals and stuff more like a hotel
2- Home stay is cheaper but u get to do you own stuff and get/prepare ur own food.
3- same as home stay.

first you got visa for a 3 year under graduate degree and now studying a 1 year certificate course..... and at the same time complaining of no jobs in Canada.....

I was born and raised in Canada, and I know what Canada has to offer. Canada is for those, who work hard and willing to adjust. In one of your post, you suggested members to get marry a Canadian women to get faster PR. Do you think if its a logical way to post and misguide members? Do you think if a Canadian women will marry a donkey like you who "all the time discouraging" members.

In one of your post, you also suggested members to stop studying in Canada and enter US like your many friends doing the same. May be you think US run by your grandfather who is there on border to welcome us. Why you discourage members always???

I am a Canadian and belong to a landed immigrant family, and I can tell you all guys thats Canada is neither "a heaven" nor "a hell", and you can not expect heaven and hell at one place. Come to Canada if you understand the meaning of hardwork and patience.

All the best....

dude... You are no born in canada... I can guarantee That..

Hi guys! I'm still going to apply for my Study Permit, but I've been in Toronto (multiple entry TRV) since April. Oh well, scratch that. I flew to the US in May and stayed for a month, went back to Canada in June. So... I've been here for four months, give or take. Going home (Manila!) in two weeks. Yipee!

I love it here. My sister and her family are PRs so I don't feel homesick at all (Eep! Sorry, Harpreet! :p).
Hug your families tight before you leave your home country!

I arrived in Spring. It was a little bit chilly, still had flurries the day before I arrived! But then it became really hot. Summer. Boo.

It's getting a little chilly again, as fall is coming.

Oh, I love La Sani restaurant, in Ellesmere! Their butter chicken is really good. India's Taste (in Markham) also offers a good variety of dishes, buffet for only $11 I think!
(Saying this because many of you in the forum are from India)

Lastly, I got a Fido mobile plan for $45/month (approx $60, taxes included)
50 texts, 50 minutes of calls, 2 GB data (this was a promo, I think!)
No holding period (micro sim only), but required a connection fee of $35.
I had my iPhone 4s (from the Philippines) jailbroken at Pacific Mall (for $45).
Although I think Fido offers plans for like $25, but you'll get a normal phone for it.
