have you made it into Canada as yet? I am getting cold-feet now about moving considering the stress of new job, housing, etc.
Was going to move at the end of April, but I was dealing with an emergency till a few weeks ago. I now will move at the end of Aug or September.
Being stressed out because of job, housing, etc is perfectly okay. Have you considered any of these options to make your transition easier?
1. Getting a job pre-landing
2. Soft landing to get a job, rental, etc and then bring everyone (if you have dependants) once you feel comfortable
3. Leveraging friends and family to help you settle - it might sound a bit more, but it makes a huge difference if there's someone helping you(e.g. renting a friend's house/room, etc)
4. Talking to professionals from your industry, holding similar job titles or higher to benchmark your skills and comp expectations
5. There are realtors who work exclusively with newcomers - they might ask you for 4-6 months of rent in advance, but can solve a part of your settlement
I've a job so that makes it easier to think about where to live, what to rent/buy, etc.
