His commute was fine. He took the Go train for 20-30 minutes which is a short commute by North American standards.

No, he has a wife and is not as fun anymore. haha I'm kidding.

Lol! Wow, yeah 20-30 mins I could tolerate. 2 hours maybe not. Any idea which area he was commuting from?

True! The thought of doing that for a year is daunting, but I'll do what I have to. I assume by menial jobs you mean things like retail work and delivery work?

And customer service representative - those kind of jobs. Doing deliveries with your own car kind of pays better than those other menial jobs (from the experience of my folks, especially in Ontario) but you will need a G license to drive a car for those kind of purposes and I learnt passing the driving test isn't easy at all.

My best friend got his car in his second month in Canada and did that for about 7months before he finally landed a good job in the banking sector. Pre-covid of course.

Not sure how accurate job bank’s trend analysis and prospects in the coming years, but y’all can check your NOCs and preferred settling location in Canada and see the prevailing wage and job prospects. https://www.jobbank.gc.ca/trend-analysis

Interesting! Glad to know that's an option. Do you know which company he delivered for?

Thanks for sharing. I've read that a while back, and it's really good info. I also recommend everyone in this forum has a look from time to time, to help with their choices.
