New Immgrant Can apply for Unemployment Benefit if yes how

[Leon]

No, it is not different.  You can read here: http://www.ltb.gov.on.ca/en/Key_Information/STEL02_111677.html but at the same time it is common, see http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1123296--illegal-rent-deposits-a-norm-for-newcomers?bn=1

10,000 in one month is pretty unreasonable, I wouldn't expect anyone on a budget to have to pay that much, especially in Ontario where it is cheap rent and food. The most I would expect to pay outside of Toronto (when renting a room in a house with hydro and cable included) would be $500 per month. Groceries are cheap and I was able to survive on $35 a week but bigger eaters or people who don't cook would spend more. Loulou you're spending way too much, especially on rent, but I'm assuming you come from a more privileged background and are used to quite a high standard of living.

4000 for a furnished apartment for one month and one week. 4000 for futniture for the permenant apartment. and 8400 rent in advance to accept renting to a newcomer with no history. and more than 2000 for grocery, transportation etc......

It is against the law to ask for 6 months rent in advance.  In Ontario, they can only ask for first and last.

I know, but whenever i put an offer to lease, they declined it cuz I do not have a credit history. Pay 100 CAD per day for the furnished apartment and I would pay the whole year in advance just to lease and pay the half + the ydro.

Guys!!!, did I say that I will ask for any benefits??? I was saying that the Canadian goverment should ask ppl to bring more.

This is what I can glean from her posts, with all due respect for her. I think it's her rent that did it:

She pays 1400 a month for rent and had to pay 6 months down upfront.

She got a free promo cable offer but will have to pay $100 a month once that's up and a $400 disconnection fee is she decides to cancel

She's not planning to work in Canada at all.. so is being sent money by her family.

I'm not planning to work the first year, cuz I want to study and get a Canadian certifica. I was a manager at one of the biggest companies in the UAE, and Thank God I have enough savings that no one has to pay for my expenses.

Go to your country and ask your government to give you that benefit.

Have some dignity and find work, I hope you will find job easily which will pay you at least $10/hr.

Wow, you can tell that from the name?

I find some of the irony in Canadian Immigration is that you have to be pretty 'privileged' in your home country to even apply to come here. The sad truth of it is that money can buy you immigration. I think it would be nicer if the real poor and meek of the world were allowed the chance to come here and really make a better life for themselves, and leave the spoiled upper classes of the developing world to their own luxuries of home that they are so entitled to.

 @  Steph C "Nawab Saheb" roughly translates to Duke/Earl/Lord or basically some sort of Royalty....wonder why Nawab Saheb immigrated in the first place!! ....hmmm

[newtone]

 @  rishabshanker....Thank you, Nawab is synonymous with Royalty, maybe he is here to expand his empire and get more people to contribute generously to his royal coffer

Oh it must be so tough for him here, after all he is used to at home..

Unfortunately, just as many of the so called "real poor and meek of the world" are not interested in hard work either.

Some of us do not have a home country-can't enter it. And with a travel document for refugees, there is no security, anytime you can be kicked out. Especially in the Arab countries.
