I think best for you to search at rentfast.ca and Kijiji Calgary, I suggest try to live in NE of calgary as initially you need all Desi stuff, then you can move anywhere.

I posted this sometime back just repeating here:


Folks
If you want to move to calgary please note the expenses as follows:

Calgary NE

One large bed room Basement or two small bedroom basement with Utilities= CAD 700 to 800
One bed room apartment with utilizes = 950 to 1000
Two bedroom apartment with utilizes = 1100 to 1200

Main floor two bed room without utilities = 900 to 950
Full house with two bed room + Basement = 1400 to 1500 (without utilities)

Advantages of NE are mainly for Asians specially Sikh and Muslims as lot and lot of restaurants, grocery stores (Indian & Pakistani), Musalla, LRT and transit are available around.
Disadvantage of area is, not considered as high posh area and usually a middle class population lives here.


Calgary NW

More expensive areas, posh area, basement is normally not available easily

One bed room apartment with utilizes = 1000 to 1200
Two bedroom apartment with utilizes = 1300 to 1400

Main floor two bed room without utilities = 1100 to 1300
Full house with two/ three bed room + Basement = 1600 to 2000 (without utilities)

Advantage good clean locality, Ranchland, Hawkwood and Edgemount are slightly Asian and Arab locality. Other likeCenter, Browness, Cithal, Crowfoot, Tucsany are Western locality.

Main grocery stores are around but not very close to every one especially in winter 2-3 km far is not close to home.


Jobs in Alberta are more easily available than Toronto, Montreal or Winnippeg but not very easy as some folks might think. I am here for last one year by profession Petroleum engineer (most demanding profession here) but still struggling, although I have a good job earning more than 60K but still not to my profession so far. Also not all professions fit here so don't come with impression that all professional jobs are available in Alberta.

Professional registeration, western canada experience is prerequisite for most professional jobs, but one can be lucky as many lucky fellows are here making their fortunes.

Cost of food is high all over Canada and Calgary is no exception, however overall winnipeg is comparatively cheaper than rest of Canada. An average (2+2) family need to make CAD 2500/ month. Taxes are between 25% to 39% (less than ON & MB).

Daycare are very expensive but in most cases Govt. funding are available if family qualify due to low income. Calgary and Edmonton are colder than Toronto/ Mississauga.


South West of Calgary is also some what like NW in some cases more expensive than NW
South East of Calgary is most cheap but has security issues like-theft.

AOA,thanks for ur valuable information I am also planning to come for 3 mnths in first wk of june ,can u plz guide me about schools my kidz are of 16,14 and 11 yrs studying here in margalla campus isd .which is the right time for them to come again to canada,AND WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

Dear All

After long time I am here with good news.................We got our visas & copr yesterday after two years wait

Application Filed: 18 April 2011
PER: 24 May 2011
IP: 18 June 2012
Medical Request : 11 Nov 2012
Med Line: 23rd Nov 2012
PPR: 22 April 2013
Passport sent to LVO: 23 April 2013
Passport received at LVO:24 April 2013
DM: 3rd May 2013
Passport Received Back: 7th May 2013
Visa Issued Date: 30 April 2013
VO: JMR
Leaving for Calgary in Sepetmber 2013 (INSHA-ALLAH)

As many of us thinking that JMR is very slow, I agree with this but I found her very helpful every time. whenever I sent CSE I got proper reply within maximum one week time. Even after sending our passports to LVO I sent CSE on 2nd May about the status and I got reply yesterday that our passports left Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi on May 6th 2013 and also provided Airway Bill Number.

So I think there are some time taking procedures and every VO has to follow this. I got five times GCMS Notes during this two years of process and found each and everything about my file.

Finally I pray for everyone to get their visas soon INSHA-ALLAH.

Regards,
