yes i agree it all depends on one's profession. i have a background in architecture and engineering, and i received a job offer from a structural engineering firm on my 5th day here in Calgary. compensation is ok but not good as what oil & gas companies normally offer.

To help you decide, I would suggest that you look at the job market for the 3 provinces. That was the main reason that we chose Calgary. I have an engineering background so I didn't have a hard time finding a job. (I got a job offer on my 5th day :)). Housing too is very affordable. We were able...

HI BZ mom, I'm a Filipino too. We live in SE at New Brighton. It's a new community and my cousin and her family are my neighbors. We just arrived here from California just last Aug. 19th. Luckily, my hubby and I found work already and started working this week. I met a lot of Filipinos already...

Hi, I'm in the architecture field but with an engineering background. don't worry there are a lot of job openings.

Hi all! Landed in Alberta through Sweetgrass/Coutts Port (from LA, CA) of Entry last Aug. 19, 2011: Here's our experience so far (dates I can't remember, so no timeline, sorry) Stopped at the toll gate, handed our passports to the officer, who told us to park and go inside the office. Once...

Hi Allison, Did your vehicle have a clean title or was it being financed? My vehicle is under finance at toyota financial, I asked them about getting a clearance to bring it to Canada, but they said they couldn't do it. Any advice?

That was med request. We did the medicals on Sept. 6th. I don't know the exact date that our medicals were received by CIC.

Yes they did. 2nd week of February and they were asking for my FBI too. I told them I mailed my fbi the previous week. I'll post the exact date of IA later.

Hi Everyone! We just received our PPr today from Buffalo. Here's my timeline: CIC application- May 14. 2010 AOR/Medical Request- Aug. 28, 2010 PPR- March 17, 2011 You'll be getting yours soon I am sure about that!

Hi Mods, Like you, I also submitted my application to CIC w/o my FBI fingerprints. Do you think that's one the reasons why your file hasn't been transferred? I've been really following your progress because once you get your PPR, I could somehow stop worrying about my case :) V

I received my nomination letter today. It was just a copy of the nomination letter, the packet was mailed to Cohen (my lawyer). Here are the details of my app: Application sent: Feb 6th File number received: March 12th Noc: 2151 Doc request: Dec 11th Nomination received: Jan 9th Nomination...

Sava, I don't think so. I know someone who was also waiting for the results of his PE exams.. and he got his nomination by last week of November. He only passed his ainp application last July and no additional info was ever requested from him. Maybe they based the approval from his...
