Hi, ALL AOA,
I am writing my individual experience and want to share with you guys. it is my individual experience & i am not saying that " Do not come to Canada"
I landed in Calgary on 4th April. In 10 min i was out of the airport as all the process completed in fast. Now i am in Toronto. What i observed that its not worth to leave the Pakistan ( Specially if you have a job) and family. Here In Canada No jobs. So i planned to move back to home country at least i have respect there and doing respectable job.
I met several people. 1% are chances to get the jobs in area of interest/education. Otherwise people specially from Pakistan are doing " Security jobs available on & off not permanently, General labour jobs ( In factory & In warehouse) some get the jobs in coffee shops like "Tim Horton" "subway".
Yes if you have Canadian education & Canadian experience you will get the most respectful job with in a month within your area.
So please do come to Canada but not with the high hopes like me.
Expenses : Minimum Rent for 1 bed room if you stay in basement " is 750$. if you stay in apartment. 1 bed room starts from 1000$ in Toronto & 1150$ in Calgary . grocery 250$. Bus pass or travelling exp near 120$. mobile connection 25-40 $. Please do arrange your stay before coming to Canada. Basements and Apartments are very hard to find. Electricity bill around 40$. internet & cable near 40 to 60 ( I am not sure).
One disadvantages of living in basement that you people wont find peace in your life. Cause your time will pass by hearing first floor sounds in your ears as houses are made with woods.
I share best possible with you.
Dear Adil,
Thanks for sharing, within two weeks you gave your opinion about Canada
I think it is too early to say something like this…
CIC says that you should have money for 6 months to survive and now please don’t start crying before 6 months are over…
Be Brave…You are a Man!!!
Now read below my advise and of course decision is yours…
CASE-1
If you have enough money to survive for 6-12 months then please do not think even to come back, keep on trying for a job as long as possible and don’t loose hopes as insha Allah you will get a good job soon…
The answer is already in your statement, Canada Education + Experience ( and that you can’t achieve 1% if you stay outside Canada)
CASE-2
If you are in financial problem then stay until you get your PR Card & come back to your home country save for 2 years and then move again to Canada.
CASE-3
No idea about further options…this is possible after detailed discussions….if you like to chat…
Always Think positive…
Wassalam
