Please make sure, do not make any such comments in front of your potential employer. No employer even willing to see a person who want to have easy money. You can also search for job at Kijiji, Calgary career, craglist, monster, indeed (search web sites with these names). In downtown calgary at corner of 8th Ave and 8th street there is a government office call HRDC. You can go there and use internet free for search web sites, they can also assist you in searching job if you ask them for assistance. You can also go to CCIS, early leaning center, YMCA for further assistance. Initial phase of immigiration is tough but Canada is land for those who know how to go tough when tough is going.

Good Luck

4000 for a furnished apartment for one month and one week. 4000 for futniture for the permenant apartment. and 8400 rent in advance to accept renting to a newcomer with no history. and more than 2000 for grocery, transportation etc......

It shows you didn't plan your immigiration at all.

 

[perkele]

I know, but whenever i put an offer to lease, they declined it cuz I do not have a credit history. Pay 100 CAD per day for the furnished apartment and I would pay the whole year in advance just to lease and pay the half + the ydro.

Guys!!!, did I say that I will ask for any benefits??? I was saying that the Canadian goverment should ask ppl to bring more.

I disagree with you. Not because you found that 10 000$ was not enough for a month that others should be penalized by having to meet a higher standard in terms of required funds. Others have managed perfectly well without spending it all in month.

I agree with Hasher, you probably didn't do your research before landing.

I think there should be an orientation session for all newcomers to Canada.

Some of us were lucky to have a wide network of friends and family already living in Canada who give us a reality check before we arrive. For example I came to Canada from a relatively privileged background but was perfectly OK and mentally ready to work minimum wage, buy used furniture from thrift stores, purchase no-name / un-branded grocery on a budget etc. The only big money (my savings) I spent in Canada was on getting a Canadian post-secondary education.

You can't have your cake and eat it too - immigrating to any country in the world will potentially set you back professionally and financially - be ready to make the sacrifices and put in the work to get yourself on track to attain the same life you had back home...otherwise just don't immigrate.

Good luck Nawab Saheb - nawabi will not work in Canada - time to put in the elbow grease!

Nawab Saheb,

Go to your country and ask your government to give you that benefit.

You are here to work and earn. not to ____________. I hope you got it.

Have some dignity and find work, I hope you will find job easily which will pay you at least $10/hr.

Do you want me to send some job posting link?

i see that some of the comments are quite Harsh, and attacking him in person. In my point of view - regardless of whether you agree with him or not - the guy has asked a question - you may choose to answer with a simple yes or no - or not to answer at all...whats the point in questioning him/insulting or making fun of him? What would you gain by that?

I see in other discussions people asking about child benefits and were answered very professionally. If you take the question positively indeed you will be able to come up with a positive answer.

I see your point. However, I kind of see it as an offense if newcomers ask for financial support right after landing as it reflects a weird attitude to me and all Canadian tax payers. At the end this attitude is what puts us all immigrants into a bad light - even though it's just a very small minority of immigrants who come with this expectation. But this is exactly what anti-immigration Canadians think of immigrants: come to Canada and abuse our social system....

It also questions whether the applicant submitted a true application including availability of required funds...

True.

You'd better check this quite thoroughly. As a new PR you have to have funds in order to get your PR. If you provided faked financial information in your application and CIC finds out, your PR status might get revoked. Applying for any kind of financial assistance right after landing is a clear indication that there's something fishy... So yes, go ahead and apply for financial assistance but don;t be surprised about the potential consequences....

 

[SenoritaBella]

This is exactly the kind of reasoning that makes native Canadians have a disliking for immigrants, not that it's right. There's nothing wrong with getting help if you need to, but the gov't specifically asks for proof of funds to ensure people can survive for at least 6 months when they arrive. Anyway, the immigration minister is now suggesting to provinces to create a wait period during which new arrivals can not get assistance. This will be bad for people who really need it because a few have decided to take advantage and abuse the system. If you can work or can afford it, you really shouldn't apply for social assistance.

& what would happen after six months? If they still don't get a relevant job. i think a better way to solve the issue would be for Canadian Companies/Organizations to be more accepting/willing to employ immigrants in their original "fields" of specialization. The minister increasing the barriers faced by immigrants will not help.

 

[CooLDUD3143]

Yeah?? Well Im Already a Canadian Citizen and PR I did'nt give no application Im returning to Canada after 12 Years I will show my Canadian passport and enter into Canada and Yes Ontario Works Is providing every help I need to help me settle Down... BOO YEAH!!!!!

I think something must have gone wrong with your upbringing. Most people feel pride in achieving something by working hard, not by how much money they can milk out of their fellow taxpayer.

 

[SenoritaBella]

Agree... unfortunately, such laws affect those doing things the right way, which is why those taking advantage of the system should start pulling their own weight. The gov't is doing more now to reduce the barriers by focusing on immigrants who speak one of two official languages and people are still complaining.
