It has been two and half months in Vancouver. Got my PR card. It takes 41 days after arrival. I landed in Vancouver in the end of July 2011. It's a wonderful city. People are so good. Fresh weather, Fresh food (although frozen food except fruits). You will be amused by the beauty of the nature of Vancouver. The city is the combination of sea, mountain, flat land and modern building. If you have money in pocket, you may not think to work.
Regarding finding job, it is not easy task. I know some taxi drivers, they were MBBS doctor or engineer in their country. But they earn much. This may be cause for their satisfaction. My suggestion to all who are wishing to land in Vancouver, please do some technical training (such as electrics, electronics, cooking, parlor, cleaning etc) to get a quick survival job. It is impossible to get a good job without having a Canadian degree (of course exception). You can not be got a managerial job with out having a local degree. Just give up your ego and start any job from the next day of your arrival. If you work, you will be paid.
Bring extra money for study (approximately CAD $ 8,000) for two years study or diploma. The additional money for study cost you may afford from your own income. Have a small hair cut from your country (bold is good, saloon is expensive!!). Bring more jeans pant and Jacket if you come from Bangladesh or India. I was surprised to see that most expensive clothing are made by Bangladesh. I bought a Jeans pant which is "made in Bangladesh", it costs five times more than Bangladesh price. Driving license from own country is valid for three months,. So you must bring your driving silence (of course it should be in English version) then you would be eligible to take road test after complete your knowledge test (other wise you have to wait more than one year).
That's enough for today I think. Hope for the best for all.
