Count me in bro.. Yes, there's a very few of us..

In what stage are you now? i'm currently awaiting for 2nd line & MR.

Which province and city you opt for? Calgary, Alberta is still top on my list...

Have you looked at job prospects??

Sorry to respond late bro.. Just got back to this forum..

My VO currently is way to slow compared to other VO's. There are still May-July random MR's and PPR's. Though, most of May applicants got their visas on hand last Nov-Dec. But current pace is snail mode.

As for the destination, i have seen a lot of positive posts and recommendations opting for Calgary and Alberta in general. I may want to try my luck there initially. But as recent events, economy is not so good at this location due to the oil and gas as many of you heard in the news. I still hope that they will bounce back, it is still my preferred city and province. Toronto currently is too populated and means a lot of competition, while Vancouver has the highest or one of the top cost of living as been surveyed.

But hope all of us manage to get a decent life in our dreamland. I believe we all need to start from scratch again and walk our way up. Perseverance will eventually flourished in the end.

Still waiting for good news, praying it will be this month and soon.

All the best to us brothers.. ;)
 
Thanks Xavier.

Thanks for sharing that info. Although my wait has not been as log as yours I understand the frustrations of having a dream so close but yet so far. You've been patient this long and before you know it you'll be packing your bags.

I'm not close to the Calgary local economy but will read up on it. Canada is a flourishing country and Construction is at the top of that so I think we are more than safe.

I've already started building a network on LinkedIn so that when I do get there I have a little bit of a head start. That might be something you guys would want to do.

As always your network is your strength and very important.

Thanks again for sharing and all the best

All - I've realised there are several 2234 forums so I'm aiming to consolidate them all
 
Hi friends,

Hardik here from UAE, i have received PER on 2nd of March and now looking forward to receive MR soon. I started a new thread yesterday hoping to network with QSs who are going to relocate to canada, thank you xavier for preventing duplication of the page for same NOC, i am not so conversant but will try to prepare a google sheet, wherein we can input our professional and contact details and status of our application, this will help us stay connected even if the some members go inactive from the forum and can be reached using their contact details.

I ll also send pm to invite all NOC 2234 applicants, i could find out from the spreadsheet on forum, i think we are less than 30.

i keep surfing jobbank website and find good number of open jobs, some of them requires candidates to have a professional membership of CIQS. Anyone of you are already holding RICS, CIQS or any other membership? I require some guideline and information before registering myself with CIQS, planning to register soon. I have created a whatsapp group for NOC 2234 yesterday, and we are just members there, interested ones, message me on +971 556415189, it would be easier to stay in touch using whatsapp.

Hardik
