Hello all, it has been a long time since my last msg, I have been quite busy. I actually managed to find a job. Woohoo, not to mention a really great job, and it only took me just over two weeks. So for all you out there that are going to be recieving your OWP soon, dont fret just be persistant...

Hey everyone, me again. Wow the job market is hectic here in Toronto, i have gone for a couple interviews, and there have been like 30 people at each one. Also there seem to be a lot of con artists floating around doing shady things. Just a warning to all when looking for a job when you get your...

Hey all, i just want to say thanks to everyone for all their help, it has been a long 18 months, but i have finally got my work permit. I am going for my SIN tomorrow, and i plan on applying for my first job tonight. I wish everyone the greatest of luck, the happiest Christmas and an awesome...

@ love_young, glad to hear that your hubby is doing well.

Just came from London ON last night, oh my word, it looks as if a giant snow monster destroyed the city, there must be atleast 1.5m deep snow. We could hardly see the house. Oh Canada how you welcome us with tons of snow. :o

@ love young... That sounds like an awesome plan. I have no idea how to start a blog so it is great that you offered. I have loads of cool recipes from home and I could do with some more. I am really enjoying being a house wife in terms of having the time to cook good food. My wife is the one...

That’s a great idea, except I just play games on my console. I started working out when I first arrived in Canada, and since I have not been able to work for 16 months, you can imagine the hours I have put in the gym, and I have to say I am really happy with the results, even my wife is happy...

@perrinsa I know what you mean; no one here gets it when I try to explain. You are lucky you are in Vancouver. Over here in Toronto its freezing and a little snowy, but we are going to London ON for Christmas as my wife’s family lives there, and from what they say, they have snow metres deep...

Are you applying outside of Canada? If so, I don’t think you can apply for an OWP as there is only one part to applying outside of Canada or at least after your sponsor is approved, so when and if you are approved you will be able to come to Canada as a permanent resident, so you won’t need an...

Thanks, I will go and ask at my local post office, see what they say.

Thanks Alibaba, that saves me having to go to service Canada. The lady i spoke to at CIC said that i could work without a SIN number hahahahahaha. Which i know for a fact is not true. I mean how is a person supposed to go for an interview? when they ask for your documents you say "i dont have...

You can only check your status online after first stage approval, or denial. So you will have to wait the minimum of 8 months before you will even be able to see anything online, which is crazy considering that up until then you dont really have any idea whether they have received anything as...

@ perrinsa . I didn’t even want them to send it to me, I asked my family members that still live there to collect it for me, after hounding them for 6 months it finally showed up lol. Not to be funny but I am quite sure that the police certificate will expire in my case, considering that when I...

If you are applying for family class sponsorship, you need to send your application for a OWP with all your other applications if i am not mistaken. and an OWP means that you can work for any employer, not one in specific, so no you dont need a letter from an employer to apply for it. You are...

Haha, I was wondering who Alibaba was, thanks for that

Nope, but I plan to considering how much time i have on my hands these days. I will give it a go next week after doing my OHIP this week

Merry christmas, goodluck with everything

Well i am just going to hope that i receive my work permit soon then. Who knows, perhaps Canada post will perform another miracle.

Then no worries, the GED will work for you, I actually did mine as my diploma from back home was not considered suffice here either and the jobs i want to apply for require either a high school or Equivalent.

Oh are you the same person?? haha i didnt even check. It is great to share advice with people in the same boat. I just posted under the other topic about the GED, if you need any more info just ask. I am for sure going in on friday for my OHIP, so i will see if they are willing. It feels good...
