ok.
Well, i advice you to apply to university first. Edmenton's apartments are cheaper than Calgary's. Getting an apartment in Edmenton or Calgary is easy. Rentfaster.ca
good luck searching...
If you had a canadian credit card before and have a good credit, then you will not need a co-signer. If you don't, then u will need a co signer. Make sure to put the lease in both of your names so you can help him to get apartments faster next time.
About work.. I am sure it is easy if you are open about to work about anything. I see hiring sign everywhere.
Also, as far as for a used car. mmmm I don't know. U can leave this for awhile I guess. I use buses.. Cars nowadays are so expensive with the price of gas. You can get anywhere with the bus or the train.
You can travel together. They didn't ask my hubby any questions about me (I guess coz I was there wtih him'). I was so scared when they were asking a lady questions about her husband and she couldn't answer a thing coz she doesn't speak english. They let u transilate as well for your husband if he doesn't understand english. If you are going to travel to calgary.
It is better to be in a place where there is family so they can drive u around and show u places. I have family in both edmenton and calgary! So If you have family in Edmenton go there first. It makes a big difference to knwo some people at least u arrive to partly furnished apartment.
If you are looking for furniture, you can look at kijiji.ca if you want used stuff. Also Ikea sells stuff for somewhat decent price. And wal-mart for apliances.
Make sure you transilate driving license. The international driving licence is no good if you are pr. regardless they will give u only 3 months to drive and then u have to do the test. if your husband has car insurance make sure he gets the paper to prove that he has been insured for long. Also if he wants the graduate licnece. He has to bring a letter from the place where he issued the driving licence and to say that he is a good driver and to say that his driving record is clean and he has been driving for ... number of years.
Let me tell u some news. Alberta will stop charging health preimums for its health cards starting january 2009
Tell your husband not to worry. There is free employment centers. That give u workshops, let u print for free.
The trip was amazing. As soon we went out of Egypt. I started seeing a huge smile in my husband's face that I have never seen. We went by lufthanza to frankfurt. (he loved the airport ). There is Macdonalds there and it has a view on the airport. The trip was long but my husband enjoyed it very much. As soon as we arrive here. Everyone treated us so nice and were checking our baby. They even helped us push our carts. My hubby is so happy here and want to make Canada his home for good! Wallah everyone wanted to help even someguy in teh airplane gave us his card so we can ask him to help us.
Etwakelo ala allah
Let your deciding factor be family not university at the point till u settle for a bit!
