Guys I will really appriciate for your great HELP ....waiting for your KIND advise..... Thanx
In a nutshell!
Toronto has the biggest basket for executive jobs while standard of living is high, but the high wages compensate for this. It has always been recommended for Newcomers that wanted to start earning right away. In addition, Medical Insurance don't start until after 3months.
Edmonton is second to Toronto in jobs(mostly practical/on field/hands-on)basket due to the huge, booming Oil and Gas sector there. You can try Fort Mcmurray, good jobs but very cold weather. Standard of living is very ok, next to Montreal. People are friendlier here and always wanting to help newcomers. In addition, Medical Insurance starts covering you as soon as it's been applied for and issued.
Calgary: Clean city, beautiful and very lively! There are many white collar jobs here and odd/survival jobs too if you immediately wanted to start working. Standard of living is a bit higher than Edmonton though. People are a bit stiff here; faces always high up minding their business so newcomers may face a little challenge here...
Hope this helps..
All the best!
