Hi

I thought of writing a blog which will help new immigrants settle in Canada and also share some of my experiences. Please visit this blog. I have just started. Any feedback would be appreciated and will help me add more useful content to the blog. Copy paste in web browser the below link

Good work :)
 
This is a helpful collection of the important items for any new immigrant.
Keep it up with more of your real time experiences and learnings if time permits.

+1 for your efforts.
 
A very helpful initiative - well done :)!!

Just a couple of points:

There are some inaccuracies in your post about income tax (basic allowance; sales tax % can vary by province; there are both refundable & non-refundable tax credits & they can be a lot more than 500 - 600$ ;) ).

Also, the post about driving licences is Ontario-specific: perhaps add a line at the start to mention that DLs are provincially regulated & procedures differ?

Otherwise excellent, thank you for doing this!
 
Sure ..thank you everyone for the motivation and feedback and yes I will make the changes as suggested. Thank you and keep reading.

Today I have written my take on Bill C-24.
 
Very Good initiative..

+1 for the information.
 
Great start Vivek901 ... keep it up. I also found some useful articles on welcomepackcanada.com ... check it out!

Thanks for sharing this with us - I've added it to my reading list and will let you know what I think I too am thinking about starting a blog about my move to Canada now that I've got my COPR.
 
Once you arrive in Canada and open your bank account..get a credit card that earns cash back without the annual fee so you receive returns from your purchases..
