I was not aware that Ottawa is the Silicon Valley. I know engineers and “computer people” who are out of work. Nortel is long gone …… However, I am pleased to hear that things are picking up in Ottawa. Best of luck!

There are more opportunities for teachers who specialize in teaching French. Toronto seems to be in need of such teachers. "Apply to Education" is the place to look for such jobs. However, you need to belong to our College : ) Best of luck : )

I am convised that some immigrants (those educated and willing to work) bring in money and contribute to the economy. I consider myself one of them. However, in my job and volunteer work, I sadly see how much some immigrants cost this country. I am sincerely alarmed. There are Canadians who are...

According to CIC First – In 2012 and 2013, Canada will admit 50,000 parents and grandparents as permanent residents. This represents the highest level of parents and grandparents admitted in 20 years. In 2014, Canada will maintain high levels of admissions for parents and grandparents. Second...

There are no kindergarten schools, per se. Kindergarten is part of the primary school. Sadly, just like Sargun said, there are no teaching jobs .... it takes people some 5 to 6 years of supply work or contracts before getting a permanent position. I am speaking about Ontario (actually bigger...

We have applied for the PR card on December 4th, 2012 and received it at the very end of January - close to February. Perhaps Christmas holidays did not help either. The Ontario ID card took some 2-3 weeks, though! Hope this helps!

It sounds like a police matter and not an immigration one!

I agree! ID cards, health cards, family doctor, bank account, income tax, etc. So many other challanges ....

I think that image is important, regardless of what political party will be in power. The consulations are part of that image too, I think. This way, they give us a "voice"! The other day, I was telling a colleague about mom .... her free English classes, the fact that I can claim her as a...

LICO or whatever its name, is ridiculously low right now. It is an insult ... I do not like the fee idea but I like the income one : ) Applied in July 2008, mom landed at the beginning of December 2012 ..... two weeks ago we secured a family doctor (mission impossible accomplished)! I feel...

Any country needs people like you and would love to have you! And, Europe (Italy) is sadly losing you.

This is what a call socialism! And, as Margaret Thatcher claims, "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”

Sadly, some countries are very slow in providing various documentations. Ask them if there is a fee ..... .... go through any legal means you can to get that document for your grand mother so that you can keep her here.

Buy a house, if you can! I bought a home (well, a town house) three years ago. Mortgage - $800/month, insurance some $100 and property tax some $250/month + utilities. If I were to rent this house, I would pay at least $1, 300/month + utilities. One day, I will finish paying mortgage ….but I...

OK, thank you for the information! We might have to do the same thing, then. Another option is to go south, as we always do in December, and do landing upon entry. Once again, all the best!
