    Scope for Job in Card and Payment industry (Digital Banking) in Canada

    This is a niche segment and definetely growing. The local pool for it is less competitive than some other banking segments. I think your prospects would be good with a PR.

    Canadian Securities Course (CSC) - New PR holder

    It depends. CSC is good for roles like financial advisor or FSR. But most specialized roles like insurance sales, mutual funds sales etc have their own licencing certificates. It wouldnt hurt to have it just in case but I don’t know if it will help you a lot. MBA or CPA/CA seems way more valuable.

    Need help or guidance for renting near Scarborough

    I live close to the western border of Scarborough and we'd much rather live here than downtown but thats me. I have never felt unsafe so far but there are some dodgy areas in Scarborough, it is a big area after all. That said, I fail to see the benefit of renting all the way up in markham...

    Baby Car Seat Requirements.

    Let me weigh in here. We brought our car seat from home, good thing we did because we have used it immediately upon landing in the rental car and used it since.

    Buying a House on Mortgage in Ontario new Immigrant

    Prepaid Rent

    Yes, thats what we did as well. Still, they asked for a co-signor initially. Worked hard to convince them we would be decent and good tenants. So they waived that requirement. We only paid first and last months rent and gave them thenumber of the person in charge at the bank to call and confirm...

    General Queries

    Great reply by Buletruck. Just a few additions 1) They dont take away your license in every province. We kept our licenses in Ontario but the road test was so fully booked we had to wait a long time to take it. Side note, if you wanna avoid being pulled over in traffic, do not exceed the posted...

    Renting a car for the G road test

    Are you putting in the expiry date on the temporary certificate? You need to put in the expiry date of your licence, which is five years from the issue date. It doesnt show on the certificate. Just use the same day and month of the issue date and use 2021 as the year.
