Thanks, but I'll be flying in.

Hi All, Fairly obvious, but just need to doublecheck. If I move to a new home address, besides informing my creditors, driving license and health card, do I need to inform anyone else, like the tax office, CBSA ( I already have my PR card) , etc ? thanks, K

Hi, I am already a PR, just double checking the documents I need to re-enter Canada from my home country. Passport (of course) PR Card B4 (do I still need to fill this for my luggages with me ?) B4a (I'm shipping via cargo - I remember I was told I have 1 year after landing to bring in...

Hi Everyone, Just wondering do they check your laptops, harddisks at the Border after you land ? Shouldn't be a big issue, I think, since I have windows license pasted at the laptop, I'm more worried if my o/s gets corrupted or virus infection during the process if they ask me to turn it on...

Hi CharlotteJ, I really appreciate your candor and sharing your experience with us. At least you've tried, find it didn't work and moved on. I was thinking for an European to try to settle in Canada and didn't work and quit is tough and draining, what more for those from Asia, Middle East...

Hi, I'm just hoping to get some feedback to those who are already there, what are your experiences in getting a job in IT, whether in managerial position, developer, support , etc. Did you have to wait very long, or find it competitive, or still struggling in a survival job ? Is the market...
