Hi again

I was told to stay in Quebec and nothing will happen if I move to a different province, this is for the initial start. However, no one give me a correct answer I don’t think there will be a problem because the PR card will be ready by 4-6 weeks as mentioned. Am moving to a different accommodation next week so I’ll keep my experience you updated with the PR card.

Regarding jobs, depends on your profession and field of interest. If you want business then this is the best place for you, medical directions as well etc. For me am applying for certain jobs as no one can offer me any job easily, personally I don’t like business. Am a university professor and a scientist in computational and applied mathematics, UK experience and graduate, European experienced as well but I can’t speak French which is very important. I did one half year course in Amman but they are useless, even the language certificates I don’t, and they don’t, believe in them. Here people will consider your level of communication in French not in GRADS then they’ll look for your English-which is the language for; SORRY. Universities are in shortage in many fields but seems that they don’t have funding for research and employment, they’ve very very old system and no new staff in many fields, I’ll keep you updated in this. So depends where I’ll get a job may be east or west it will be clear soon or may be abroad!
Yes mef am a Jordanian and I love traveling, having different experiences and I strongly believe in diversity. I got a request after 3 weeks of my medical. My medical requested 2 weeks after the final update to the embassy in Damascus.
Rodney, I can’t suggest anything but I know that if you’ve a PhD then this is it. Just apply to save time trust me this is the best thing to do.
Montreal and I think Canada is absolutely wonderful. At the end of the day depends on your needs. I can tell the system here is 100% not 99.9%, better than any country even Scandinavia region or any region, SORRY. It is very helpful in a human way, people are very helpful and understandable. I can tell you that this is the country for rising kids or family i.e. you better come here with your partner and kids. As I said am posting my experience, everything in here support families even singles such as me but there are too many things to do for families in which I don’t look at it; hope everyone know what I mean!
This is my email. research2phase@yahoo.com feel free to drop me a line and I’ll do my best to get back to you ASAP.
I strongly advise everyone to keep this discussion moving on specially for the Quebec applicants and all applicants as well, it is really worth it. Can I suggest everyone to Google anything in mind and keep reading about Canada or the place you want to stay in a regular basis. I’ve not done because of my regular traveling and I really should have done it :mad:

Wish me the best of luck then, in a daily basis please -:)

Hi everyone,
I have been away for a long time from the forum as I had to wind up everthng where I was staying and now i have travelled back to my home country for one month before making the big move on 14th April. I will be travelling to Toronto instead of Quebec as I intend to visit my sister for three days. I am planning to travel to Hull on 18th April. I am just hoping they will let me stay for the 3 days in Toronto. I will really appreciate any advice regarding the big move like bank to choose, area to choose in Hull, where to get mattress, etccc...
Regards
Shahzad

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum, but before I ask my questions, congratulations to Shahzad. I don't know Hull so can't help there but in the excitement of getting my CSQ I looked at banks and Bank of Montreal had an offer in November for new immigrants which waived the fees for 1 year. Their site might be worth a look to see of the offer's still running.

As I said, I got my CSQ in November and sent my application to the CHC in London in January. I still haven't heard had a request for medicals and was wondering if anyone who applied to London around that time has heard anything?

Also, can any one clarify the discrepancy between the processing times for QSWs between the London office website (6 months) and the CIC website (10 months)?

Hello there,
First of all, I would like to welcome you in Quebec (Canada) and wish all the best for you and for your family. As I said before, once you get your RC, you can go anywhere you want and you should not have a major problem beside the fact that you have to start everything from ground zero again. be patient and look around for the job, talk with strangers, friends and anybody that come on your way. It is not the time to say you don't like this or that. Remember that this country is full of people with high education and in this kind of environment, the first thing you want to do is to get anything that could stop you deeging in your reserve. I sugested you to come to Gatineau but as i could remember, you made your decision to stay in Montreal and with my heart, I wish you all the best.
Keep sharing good news my man.
Cheers,

Hello Peterajob,

I think we got many things in common........... my life and work are travelling all over around......non stop, I am not sure how long it would take me to settle in Quebec as long I have no execuse to stay in a certain place for longer than few months.

I am Jordanian and my name is Mefleh, I have been living and working in Qatar for the last 7 years and 1/2 but had over 50 trips - Business- in the last 3 years, I like it and can't imagine my self quitting this Job and go look for new job in Quebec but made up my mind already to go......

Wish you all luck and others as well

Mef
