Hello again friends, long time no see.... I have a question that would mean a lot to me if answered, since I am asking in order to help someone who is really close and means a lot to me. A friend of mine was offered an opportunity with a Toronto modeling agency and it's an opportunity she...

Dear forum members, first of all let me wish you all a happy 2012! hopefully all our wishes, dreams and goals will be fulfilled!! My name is Hector and I am a 22 year old mexican law student who graduates this may; upon thinking what to do with my future I came across the dream of doing a...

Officially I dont think so, however getting those scholarships will give your reviewer a better impression of you, so Id say MAYBE. May I ask how did you got those? I am looking for some myself

Well 22 previous convictions out of 68 were for drunk driving, I guess the court just had it with this man, but seriously He could have killed someone or himself, if he were allowed to continue only a tragedy may have ensued in the future.

Well Im mexican and last time I was on Canada, it was way back in 2006 (and I miss it dearly) and I used hi5 (didnt know of facebook) at the time all the time, Social networks are a great way to keep with the people you love back home, they get to see pictures and so do you, so it can help some...

Sorry to hear that, best you can do is build up your skills and try again later, but keep a good attitude, it always helps, hope you get your visa soon

Well edmonton being a big place and all the pricing seems fair, tough a lil on the expensive side, but for a big city it is fair, hope you find the roomate you need. Im planning on doing a masters on UoFA on fall semester 2012 (long way) if by then you havent got anyone pm me

Charlotte, All I can say is I am Sorry Canada wasn't the right place for you, from your posting on this thread I can clearly see you tried really hard to overcome all the situations literally thrown at you. However, your time there is not lost time, your experiences there both good and bad...

Hello Morena, Im Mexican and while I havent landed I was an student on Hamilton on summer 2006 (plan on doing a Masters and applying for a PNP on the future) and my experiences on Canada were no less than outstanding. People were really nice overall (They are exceptions in any country...

I can only help you by describing Hamilton, I lived there 4 months as a part of my school's program and returned to Mexico (But looking to come back and settle if possible). Hamilton is indeed smaller than Toronto, but it still is a pretty big town. And while it is an industrialized town, it is...

Glad to hear that! As you said its better than nothing, and trust me, it may be an opportunity in disguise, here in Mexico about 4 years ago I got my first job ever (I was 17 at the time) as a minimum wage computer technician, However this did not stopped me from applying. Fast forward 1 year...

Consider the taxi as your last option, I was on Canada on 2006 as a summer student and the taxi charged us 100 Canadian Dollars from the airport to hamilton ( a 35 minute trip)

I do not know anything about PR as I will land on Canada no sooner than 2012 but I want to help you, so take what I say lightly and by no means as an definitive response (other more experienced Canadian members or people who already hold PR cards will help you, you just have to wait) By reading...

Thank you very much!, from reading your posts you seem to have grown up a lot and your advice more than proves it. You are right (and having a conversation with my mom just yesterday she told me I would have to start my own life sooner or later and that their (my parents) job was to give me the...
