that's why all who I met immigrated there, they left. ohhh I cant believe what ive seen

You are right, the ER is a waiting process. I went there 2 days ago with my dad because he cut himself badly and was bleeding a lot, so we waited about 4 hours until we saw the ONE ER doctor on staff. The problem is people abuse the ER, tha's why we end up waiting hours. I saw people who were laughing and talking, and most probably only had a cold....so the ER should only be for real emergencies.

As for jobs, well like any country it has become a little of "who you know, and not what you know"...but I think everyone here will be able to find a job, even if it's minimal...like someone said, don't expect to start as a CEO, you have to be open minded and take any job you get to get your foot in the door. Also, the Libral governement wanted to give businesses $ as an incentive to hire immigrants. I'm not sure if this came into effect yet or not, but it's something I heard last year on the news...and all the conservatives went crazy! But I thought it was a good idea...

Anyway, the point is, when you arrive you need to network big time! The company I work for is good with hiring foreign educated people. In my team alone, out of 10 people there are only 2 who are truly canadian, the rest are from different countries. We joke that we are like the United Nations lol None of them starting in high position, but quickly moved up the chain.

So in the end, you need to persistant in finding a job and be open minded.

hi cherif
no body cares about the view or the location of the new embassy. we are all intersted because the existing building is like one floor in small building you can not name it embassy. this is the report of the last mission to amman embasy{{ The Embassy in Amman is a medium-size mission with 18 Canada-based staff (CBS) and 28 locally engaged staff (LES). It is responsible for departmental program delivery in Jordan and Iraq. It provides support to partner programs from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), the Department of National Defence (DND) the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP)}}.
while the new building is seperate big building with around 6000 m square. so no comparison with the old one. every one hope all staff of damas transfered to amman then all problems will be solved.

hi mft25, that sounds as a serious upgrade for the embassy there, hope that reflects quickly the work on the ground..

i have a friend who underwent a major surgery in canada for his leg he ended up with complications in his arm! regarding the wrong position they put him in for long hours, he requested to see a doctor for his intolerable arm pain, since 2010 he is still on the waiting list as no emergent case.. couple of weeks ago they called him to apologize that he has to wait for more time, but hopefully after 3 years that pain went by itself!! maybe that is an economic and easy way to treat patients there lol

Guys, you can't keep measuring what happens to a certain person and generalize it... Everyone should visit Canada first and then you can judge. I've been there and loved everything in it. You'll find a job, you'll buy a house and a car and you'll settle down. Most of the provinces are amazing and each one has its own pros and cons. If your files are taking long then try to go for at least 3 weeks, don't depend on what others tell you and I mean the bad experiences they're facing... I'm sure canadian_citizen agrees with me on this

Very well said csaade.. I have studied there and I agree with all what you have said.
The bottom line is that if someone is moving from a place where he/she has been settled for a while to another new place, then there always should be some scarification and a need to work hard to rebuild everything again.. Each one has to do a comparison between where he/she is living and Canada. Some might be better off moving to Canada and some others it would be better for them to stay wherever they are.

sure we were talking about a negative side in there, but no one can ignore the many positive stuff in there.. that friend i was talking about went there in sponsored PR visa, he has no certificats or diplomas, he even broke up with the one who sponsered him, and now after 4 years, he lives in a big house in montreal, he has a car, he work at 2 different places, last week he was in lebanon telling me how he thanks god every morning he wakes up in there.. so canada is kinda challenge for every one of us, luck and efforts produce the results..

I agree...I think some people are naturally complainers and tend to be very negative no matter what. No one is arguying that the first few months to a year won't be easy...however, attitude and dedication can go a long way. Everyone needs to be persistant and positive when looking for a job and settletling in. People who are going into to this with a negative outlook should withdraw their applications ASAP because if they are already complaining than they will be in for a big surprise and will be very miserable. It's not just immigrants who face challenges, but even people who were born here, and studied here. Think about it...are you better off in a unstable environment? People need to get it into their heads that they will be starting over in Canada...you can't expect paradise without putting work into it. So in the end people need to stop comparing themselves to other people, because these people may not be in the same boat as you ...for example, maybe their communication skills are not great, maybe they don't have displomas....

Don't worry about the care there, no one will leave you trust me... My wife and I have been through bad situation at the general hospital in ottawa and nobody left us

 

[dignity3]

if the medical issue become aggressive, take a flight to cuba .. not what concern us is the medical quality service .... but how to get in Canada, if there is a chance to get there before the end of time .... lol

 

[Zilar]

if CSQ is expired, the visa office will send a request to Quebec authorities for CSQ renewal especially, when they request medical or documents update... When I received my caips notes I noticed that they have sent a requested for CSQ renewal ...
On the other hand, wish they will change Beirut visa office place to a bigger one like amman and hire all Damascus staff...

thanks for our reply dignity..i believe so it is automatically will be renewed
