MY LANDING EXPERIENCE AND OBSERVATIONS

[hmisabpk]

Hello hmisabpk,

http://www.indeed.ca and http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/ are two good websites to search for jobs. Hope you have reworked your resume to suit Canadian requirements. Normally, Canadian employers don't give weightage to education and experience gained in Asian countries. If you are an Asian, the trick is to write name of the company, your experience and skill without mentioning the country. Leave that for discussion during the interview stages. Try it..

Good luck...

Hi, Vermas,

Thank you for info and web links, I will sure work on my CV.
As I mentioned earlier in my post that now I am working on apartment hunting and I got in some area on very reasonable rent, so working arrange and setup furnitures, kitchen stuff and other household items. Most probably after 2 weeks time will start to go for Jab.

Best Regrds

and many more are there offering lease to own the house but my few suggestion and tips on housing are following:

1. Do not be hurry to buy the house or apartment immediately after landing,  stay few month on rent and check the neighborhood and area if you like in same area try to buy.

2. Check the rout to the center city, highway and routs of TTC subway & buses.

3. Check the all features , utilities, facilities offered by the building management or landowner

4. How much is convenient to School, shopping, play ground, park, gyms, library, and governments offices.

5. What amenities are there, what type appliances  included, or furnitures,

6.MOST IMPORTANT THING TO CHECK THE SCHOOL ON HOW MUCH DISTANCE, ELEMENTARY/PRIMARY,  MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL  (ACCORDING TO YOUR KIDS)

AND ONE THING MORE WHAT IS THE RANK OF THE SCHOOL (WHICH YOU CAN CHECK BY THE NAME OF THE SCHOOL)

Hi,

If you are not having any medical insurance for the period of 3 month (after landing) till you will get your Health card. There will be no problem according to the Nurse in charge in Ontario health care department (I just spoke with her this morning). According to her....
You can go to any near by health center for any medical treatment in emergency or routine medical check up if you got any medical problem it will be free of charge, in case if you have to pay for some investigation or other fees, later on when you will get your health card you can claim and it will be pay back to you later (according to her), except cosmetic/beautification surgery, dental treatment and drugs bill / charges.

Some of private doctor are charging only $ 30-50 for check up, drug will be extra.

To check the heath related information, location of the health care center or health care cards update in Ontario province
please long in to

Best regards.
