I hear New Brunswick is a quiet and lovely place. Housing is relatively cheap and the unemployment ratios are very low and beyond belief. You might not get the high flying jobs as can be found in Toronto but I hear you wouldn't notice the difference.
In which province, New Brunswick is located? Can you give some factual data regarding housing and cost of living?chuka2003 said:

It really does not matter which intended city of canada would you mention in your form. Once Immigrant visa is issued, you can land anywhere in canada except Qubecskhashmi said:
PS :- This could only be relvant to CIC for their internal statistics, but it has nothing to do with application procedure. Neither it speeds up your application process nor it has any negative impact on your application.
Good Luck..
Please provide a bit detail. Landing in Quebec after FSW is one thing. Landing in Toronto to then apply for jobs in Quebec is another.skhashmi said:
Can one not apply for jobs or go to Quebec, if one lands in Toronto Canada through FSW ?
Is it that we will need to get Quebec's FSW to apply through Quebec's immigration program to get IT jobs in Quebec ?
FSW seems to be the "federal" program. The perception I have of FSW is that with it, I can apply for work anywhere inside Canada. And can go there to do the job as well ?
Please confirm
Of course you can apply for a job in Quebec once you are in Canada.hariskhan said:
Nothing can stop you from doing so. Though employers might may desire to see French on your CV, which may affect your application if you can't show.
You may run into some problems if you are a new immigrant moving to Quebec. First of all, you do not have the CSQ which means, you won't qualify for Quebec benefits like reduced tuition. You may find it impossible to obtain a Quebec RAMQ card too. Unless you are born in Canada or Quebec, the CSQ is a very important piece of paper in Quebec for immigrants. While the federal government provides some services, a lot of day-to-day services are provided by the province. i.e. education, healthcare, social benefits, driving licence, housing benefits etc...
Canadians born outside of Quebec can't claim benefits until after a certain cooling period and pay a higher rate of tuition than Quebekers at university.
So unless you are well established in Canada, there isn't a reason to move to Quebec. But again, if you are well established, why would you move to Quebec? Where the climate, language and culture are so different. As a new immigrant, you have got so many things to worry about, why would you move to Quebec without preparing for it beforehand? The least of which is your ability in speaking French?
