I really appreciate your support and help.
@ Lemans, Thanks for the information, you should support us not demotivate us; it's our big step toward better life..... Thanks for telling me about your friend who's looking to share with someone, but we are looking for our own place without sharing
@ Osama & Jet, the info you posted so helpful, thanks
Guys, it seems that some of you are very afraid of facing the future, let me brief you about our plan as it might help lots of you:
Before we have even decided to lodge our initial CSQ application, myself & my girlfriend have put complete plan from day 1 till 5 years were we can rent apartment, have enough expenses, go to college, even buy car if we please without any need to earn any further income from working.
So we started saving – as we both earning good money in Qatar – and managed to come up with couple of hundred thousand Canadian Dollars.
- We will land to Montreal 26.08.2012, I will find place for my G/F to stay and I will return to Qatar in 14 days to continue working. Meanwhile, I will be looking for our permanent house where we are going to stay for the rest of our time in Canada – we will buy house or apartment
- I will be visiting – entering – Canada every 6 months to maintain my PR. My G/F who's her mother tongue is Romanian / French will be looking for job and start working, it wouldn't be hard as her sister in law found job within 2 months of landing when she got there last June 2011.
- Upon completion of contract in Qatar, I will be leaving directly to Canada and enrolling myself in Concordia University to get my Master degree then my PHD – Hopefully. I don't have to work neither I need that.
- Upon completion my study, I will have my French Language improved, I will have educational qualification from Canada to support me getting an excellent job.
Just think forward and positive before taking any step. Wish us the luck

@ mef
Your plan sounds solid mashallah, good job man.. Wishing you all the best from the bottomof my heart ;D

Take it easy bro 8) I am sure no one will charge his/her car for 24 hour per days, or else there will be no time to drive it .
I lived there long enough and rarely seen people doing that.. so the 5,000 CAD is way too much, its even above the average wages per month :-X
It all depends on how you look into the matter. As we say in arabic "kaberha btekbar w sagherha btesghar". ;D
see you soon

My friend is not looking to share, I told you she can help you to rent apartment if you like. I told you she's sharing & paying 500$/month.
We aren't afraid at all, just trying to learn from others experience 8)
MEF I told you I am graduate from USA, I was living in California & I understand expenses & taxes & I visited Vancouver in 2001
Dont be afraid of French language, in Montreal Downtown all people speak English where French rarely used.
you cant afford buying a house there,I am not talking about expensive I am talking about taxes for house per year if your jobless.
If you buy a car you need to pay 250$ /month x 12 = 3000$ insurance for 4 cyl car & you have to keep it connect to special heating system 7$/hour else your engine will blow x 24hours = 168$ /day x 30 days = 5040$ /month (during winter)
So you'll buy car 10,000$ + 3000$ insurance + 2000$ driving licence + 5000$ heating the car = 20,000 $ + 5000$ per cold month heating
Did you plan for it?
Thats why all canadians use metro & share apartments
To get driving license it costs about 100$/year like for 10 years 1000$ taxes
No need to study master & phd to get job, you'll loose 5 years youll be old, employers need young employees ;D
I will tell you all your plans are completely wrong according to me. I will help you to shine your ideas.
we are here to discuss ideas & information, so nothing personal
Instead of buying a house, since you saved money, try to buy a business in Quebec, lot of businesses for sale,because many immigrate then leave Quebec, most of them go to Halifax & Vancouver no cold.
Thats the best idea, because office employees in canada what they earn (money) is nothing, you will meet lot of TAXI drivers who have high degrees (Most are from Jordan Lebanon & other Arab) hehehe taxis too expensive in Montreal,they make lot per day.
Truck driver in canada earns more than CEO, only techniciens make money like 100$/hour etc
Else these 100000s of dollars will evaporate
Finally, I wish you good luck.... dont forget the A/C from Qatar you need it, temperature now too high & most appartements no A/C it reaches 45 degrees ( Global warming) Canadians leave canada during summer hehe to home countries cause of HOT WEATHER.
See Chicago next to Toronto, about 40 degrees This year in Montreal demonstrations were for Schools fees, next year few months demonstrations for bread prices, because they import from USA & USA lost this season due to heat.
Go to maps google, to Montreal you can walk in its streets & the holes in the street hehehe etc
Canada is good, but its good to understand its not easy step. Not as some dreaming ;D its only good for people who's their countries has problems,
Congrats !mft25 said:Hi Mike
I passed and I got the CSQ I will share my experience soon
