Thank you so much for all the info.
I trust you have attended the Canadian Immigrant Integration Program (CIIP). I found it very useful and they are continuously providing courses and seminars to help us and prepare us better. They gave free access to an online job search course, conected us to variuos people/organisations that are relevant to our profession and our further education aspirations. Recently they have arranged something with RBC. The email reads as follows:
Dear Clients,
Would you like to learn more about banking in Canada?
The Royal Bank of Canada(RBC) is organising a webinar on Thursday 25th October 2012 at 9:00 EST (Canada time) about ‘Understanding Banking in Canada' a financial seminar for newcomers.
This seminar will provide you with general overview of banking in Canada, covering topics such as bank accounts, products, services and common banking terms used. In addition the RBC will review general financial topics like buying a house, saving for your child's education and retirement planning.
The seminar is free of charge, it will last for about 1 hour and will be delivered through the WebAliance so you will be able to participate from the comfort of your home via online internet connection.
I suggest all applicants who have received their MR to attended the CIIP session. It is a prerequisite to register online. It is conducted in London and Dubai. Go to their website for detailed information. It is a full day session and worth your time.
