    A question for those who've already landed

    You have to wait 3 months from either Permanent Residency or from Approval in Principal if applying from within Canada. I have a friend who has lived legally in Canada for 2 1/2 years before getting the approval in principal and still had to wait 3 months from that date.

    Living costs in canada

    I did provide the information. And I disagree, the price of daily costs determines your standard of living. How many cars or houses do people buy?? But how often do they pay bills and buy food?? If thier income can not support the heating for a large family home then why buy one only to...

    Hi Andrea, Maybe in the meantime check to see if you need a Teaching Certificate that recognises your qualification. My sister had to get one for Ontario before she could get hired by a school here. Also check out 'apply to teach' a website that is specifically people in the teaching...

    sponsoring my Father to live within our house

    Dancing Feather, you are right and I apologise. I didnt mean to generalise and there are good and bad in every proffession. A true good consultant will not put fear into the applicant that without their help they will surely fail. Those are then money motivated.

    How to apply for a job in canada

    Hi Gayle, Dont give up on it though. I ended up making a list of employers I would be interested in and writing to them all, the response was amazing! but .... catch 22, no visa no job. But, I figured at least I could let them know I was on my way over and they could keep me in mind for job...

    Fled from Abusive Sponsor

    Hhmmm it seems BC Bound is opinionated and making personal comments about a few people on this forum. Surely the forum is about helping people? if you think someone is giving incorrect information then I think there is a more diplomatic way to put it. Using abusive comments and...

    sponsoring my Father to live within our house

    I'm not so sure an immigration consultant is always the best answer. Why pay one if you dont have to? They can cost thousands of dollars to complete applications you can fill in yourself. My family came to Canada and I completed my own application, a friend of mine paid 4000 pounds to a...

    A couple of ?s I need answered before applying

    You have to pay for prescriptions in Canada and I believe an inhaler costs int he region of $100, so depending how many you need will depend on the cost at the end of the day. I dont believe it is considered an excessive demand because it is something that can be controlled by inhaler or...
