Thanks.cocknbull said:Hi,
Its going ok so far. I am doing one survival job at the moment. Bit tough here. Advise is when you come here go to employment Ontario or access employment to amend your resume and get help regarding job search. Register with many good employment agencies. Get your driving license as soon as possible and you will also need a car in most cases so buy a car if possible. Open bank account with Scotia bank or CIBC bank as they are offering free banking for 1 year and unsecured $1000 credit card.
Well dear if you are coming to Toronto its even hard to find a survival job. Options for you are security guard, at gas station, in call center or in a factory etc. I am getting paid $15 per hour. Security job is kind a easy but it pays $11 per hour in start. Call center also same you will get around $11-$12. But make sure even for these jobs you will have to compete with many people. A good resume and test / interview is required. For security you will need first 40 hours training from an academy then pass first aid/CPR test then pass ministry exam to get license..phdmaker said:Thanks.
All noted.
What type of survival job are you doing & how much it pays?
Can one apply for OSAP immediately after landing & what documents are required to prove PR status to get eligible for OSAP as PR card arrives after 60 days. I'm looking for diploma from Durham College or Seneca College in my relevant field (Chemical Technology).
Thanks in advance.
Well for kids up to age of 16 they will get benefit from government. It pays around $350 per month for one child. And more kids you have more benefit you will get. When applying for child benefit make sure to show your income as zero in Pakistan to get maximum benefit. I think so yeah you will be able to survive with a survival job as you have kids..good luck...msaleem216 said:Yes bro toronto but with family and all kids r school going aged from 4-17. As i am expecting PPR

You can apply for OSAP as soon as you have offer of admission from a university or college so first wait for offer then apply for OSAP. OSAP can be applied online. I know Seneca college. Its ok and near to place where I live. One condition for OSAP is you have to be living in Ontario continuosly since you have landed so make sure to stay in Ontario after you land..
Thanks for +1, and same for you. The truth was i become worried after reading your post, but we will have to prepare to face the coming situation.cocknbull said:Hmm thanks... and +1 for you...
