It depends on how you commute and where to in Toronto. If you re comuuting to downtown Toronto using GO train it is not Bad, but if you have to go to east Toronto usin public transport it is very very Bad

Sir,

I read that post according to that Mississauga is a right place for me (what i think) as i don't have a family with me.
I Just need some survival job in the first month.

Secondly will you please suggest some area in Mississauga .........either square one or some other.
One of the senior member suggest "Erin mills" according to my situation for initial stay.
Any recommendation from you ?

Re: WHICH CITY TO LAND ? -for New Immigrants....QORAX

My dear people
Please i want to inquire which city one can land? My wife is the principal applicant for PR and she is a dentist while am an Economist and have 6yrs banking experience.
I am in love with Manitoba because of the higher institutions there because i want to start my landing by trying to invest on education so as to have an added advantage.My question is how easy can someone get survival jobs in Manitoba and how easy can someone access loan for education?

WHICH CITY TO LAND? -for FSW without AEO & friends/relatives

My opinion: TORONTO.
-It has a bigger job basket, for any occupation. Thus, the share is bigger -so the opportunities are larger.
-Weather wise, it is not that bad. Perfectly manageable even in winters or summers.
-Cost of living wise, quite Ok too -quite compititive vis-a-vis the other deciding factors.
-The higest minority populace. Ppl are extremely tolerant to race, color, creed, faith etc.
-Land there first, take a 'survival job', which'll be easier here & move to any city after getting the choice job.
-Important: It's not the profession of a newcomer, but the initial survival that'd be the decider for a city.

VANCOUVER:
Very aptly said by others before on this forum. It's the best city weather wise & has a charmed beauty. Quite nice minority populace, yes -Indians rock here. But, better avoided.
-No or minimal jobs today for any field. (note: the winter olympics thing is temp)
-The costliest city to settle down.
-Housing costs are sky rocketting.
-Not at all a good choice for a newcomer, w/out AOE or friends/relatives support.
-What's the point of all that beauty, if u do not have money in ur pocket?

CALGARY-EDMONTON CORRIDOR:
Very nicely coming-up. Weather is cold, but adjustable [Edmonton needs adaptation though]. Has the 'rockies' to enhance its beauty. A perfect alternative to Vancouver. But:
-Newcomers should take it as a 2nd choice to Toronto. Due to the factors I said under Toronto.
-Damn good for establishing a business. (no provincial tax)
-Essentially a befitting place for Oil & Gas sector, which also makes other jobs available in their HOs.
-But remember again: For newcomer jobs, take Toronto as POE.

There is nothing wrong in other Canadian cities. But this post is meant for newcomers, looking for instant jobs, not for business; and for those who do not have an AOE or freinds/relatives to initially assist. Else, any other city has its own merits/demerits.

Ps: I have visited all the above cities. But my views are based on limited info. The actual residents, who are on this forum, might have a better opinion.
