Hi guys, I have received my share of inheritance from a property my family just sold. I want to know the best way to transfer it from Pakistan to Canada. I have received wire transfers from my mother's U.S dollar account directly in my T.D borderless account before. Unfortunately State Bank of...

I'm glad it's inspiring some of you as this was something sorely lacking on this forum when i used to browse it for advice. Just remember that it's the internet after all. If someone has a bad experience they will post it for sure but not many people post about a positive experience.

Minimum wage in Ontario is $11/hr. Inclusions vary, some people offer all inclusive, some places have extra charges for heat, electricity etc. A 2 bed unfurnished apartment will usually start at $1200 and can go all the way up to $2000 depending on location.

I'm not sure of the current market scenario for a F.A but all i can tell you is that if you do get a job you're going to make a lot of money! :) They are one of the highest paid jobs here. Do some research on whether you need to get accredited as i'm not 100% sure. There is another forum which...

I'm in Waterloo for two more weeks then heading back to Toronto. Waterloo is around 100km from Toronto city. Budget depends on your minimum living standards, some people are happy to live in a $1000 basement. Toronto city is generally more expensive and it gets cheaper the further away you go...

First of all you should mentally prepare yourself for accepting something lower than your last designation back home. It doesn't have to be a survival job but it will probably be in a lower position. Since most employers will seek Canadian experience and always prefer someone that has it...

How would you compare B.C to Ontario? When it gets really cold, living in Greater Vancouver Area seems really tempting! Why did you decide to leave vancouver?

@Haiderzaidi, $250 is a very decent capital, even $100 can get you some nice businesses. I've been doing some research since i've been here a few months and want to start my own business as well. If you're serious you can p.m me when you get here and i can guide you. I'm also in the G.T.A.

Hey guys, I've been in Canada for a little over 2 months now, i landed at the start of November 2014. It was a long journey, i applied back in 2010 so it took over 4 years but that's not important. The reason i am posting this topic is to give you guys some encouragement and hope. Like all of...

Hey guys, I have a similar question so thought i should post here instead of opening a new topic. I'm planning on landing in Canada next month. I have a steady income source in Pakistan that i plan on using in Canada. I am already paying income tax on this income. Do i have to pay the...

Thanks for the reply, i've been looking on Rentfaster & there are quite a few places. Giving a few months advance is not a big problem for me. I also have a friend who's well established there who can be my reference. Are you living in Calgary? I'm trying to find a 2 bedroom place (not a...

You don't need to show them a bank statement. Have your bank draft a letter stating your current account balance.

Hey guys, i just got my visa & am planning on landing in calgary next month. My wife & kid will follow later once i manage to rent a place. I've been doing research & i've heard that vacancy in calgary is barely 1% & it is extremely hard to rent a place, as they're gone as soon as they're...

NE (has a lot of asians) & SE (industrial) are usually cheaper, SW has the big houses & is the most expensive. NW is somewhere in the middle i guess.

It's PPR2, already sent the scanned passport copies two weeks back.

So after a long wait of 4 years + i finally got my passport request! Unfortunately it's Eid holidays here & all the couriers are closed so have to wait until monday to send in my passports. Thought i'd update here to give people who're still waiting some hope! Now the real challenge begins!

So i just got done reading all 86 pages, took me a while! Thanks to everyone who's posted here lot's of good information. I'm planning on landing in Calgary later this year, probably by myself & will call my wife & son once i manage to rent a place. I have done a bachelors in hospitality &...

Hey guys, So i'm planning on landing in Calgary end of this year along with my wife & 3 year old son. For those of you who have already been through this process, can you recommend any reasonable hotels/motels etc to stay in until we find a place to live? I found some ad's on kijiji that rent a...

Good news guys i also got a request for Medicals & RPRF! It took exactly 4 years, i had almost given up hope! Any idea about how long it will take to get visas from this point?

Got a request for updated documents & sent them last month, waiting for MR now. BTW, today i received an email from CIC with a new UCI/Client application no. Has this happened with anyone else? Does this mean i'm near the next step, i.e MR?
