Singapore Timeline

[CRS]

4 months gone today. Not even in process guys. I just wonder, Manila and New delhi offices will together complete the cap of 5000 for Manitoba and may be caps for other provinces this year as well. And Singapore will find its extreme happiness only in receiving our applications and encashing our bank drafts.

hi guys, we landed, although we are here just for shortwhile, things are not in the positive side It is extremely expensive to live in Canada, we had a meal at Subway fastfood on the first day and it costs us $45 for 4 people! There are virtually NO JOBS at all for immigrants, except for those like night shift labourers at factory earning minimum salaries, some people we met told us they gave up hope to find a decent job and end up living on minimum wages job with no hope to break through unless they go back to school again. Find a place to live is not easy too, we cannot buy unless we have a job and have good credit history, renting cost around $1400 for a small flat that house the 4 of us. Without a car, we are like handicapped people. It is really not as a dream land as we thought but we will try hard and never give up! It is so shaky right now, my kids keep asking to "go back home" and money is running short.. I dont know how long we can last

Dear Letina, a mixed feeling for you. Congrats for safe landing. Well, my relatives in Canada already gave me some hints. I'm single. Still they think if i land there it's never gonna easy to survive without canadian experience or certificate. Just saying, You or your spouse can start courses with student loan. I heard lots of people doing that. Liked your confidence. By the way, can you give me an idea how much cad one need to keep with for completing the landing process? Did they ask you anything regarding this while landing?
All the best.

Hi Letina,

Good to hear that you have landed and thank you for sharing what you have experienced so far although it's not quite encouraging for all of us . Have you landed in New Brunswick? In what city are you in at the moment?

I'm sure the rest of the guys would appreciate if you could share your landing experience esp in the immigration.

All the best!
