Hi, hope your new life halifax is going well. Can you please let me know how about the exact situation of job market in Halifax.My last date of entry to Halifax by April 2016. But I am so confused still now, since I arrived in Sydney (Australia) as permanent residence 3 months before and still I am struggling here.
How about the people of Halifax. Are they friendly?
In general, NS has a very slow job market as compared to other provinces. And since Halifax is the capital of NS, you see that applies to it too. Fortunately for you, you're in Sydney, Australia - which technically should present better opportunities than here in Halifax.
Having said that, what sector are you in? Different sectors have different situations here. The information technology sector is doing well in Halifax though and is somewhat thriving.
Friendliness is up to you to decide. On overall note, people are more friendly compared to larger cities like Toronto. However, the key to feeling welcome is to also adapt oneself to the culture in the country one settles in rather than expecting others to change for oneself. Case in point - in the neighbourhood I live in, everyone celebrated Halloween, even immigrant families from South Asia, Middle East as well.
