Hi there, I have a quick question. I will file my citizenship application with CIC in the spring of 2014 but have a plan to enroll in a PhD program in US since Sep 2014. I really appreciate anybody who can send some comment or instruction re. the effect on my citzn appl. with CIC. I read...

Hello guys! Is there anyone who had experience of applying for CARE (Reciprocity Exam) to become lincensed in Canada? Could you share the processing timeline at your CA board? Thank you!

Hi amir82, With regard to your questions, I guess my answer won't be helpful as my personal situation is not representative. However, if you google "Alis Alberta" you will find very detailed wages/salaries by industry and competancy requirements which is really helpful for job hunters. I guess...

Hi auditor, I can see how much you love to be an "auditor". :-) No, you don't need CGA but you do need to consult CA web in Canada and make sure you can get a Canadian CA. CA can do both audit and accounting but CGA cannot do audit. If you don't need any exam to become CGA, that's fine...

LOL Unfortunately, it's true. Now it's our busy season and everyone has to work very long hours.

Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement! Same to you!

Hey Luvucanada, Your post was very inspiring. I appreciate your perseverence. Could you please update me on the minimum qualifications the finance/audit job market in Canada requires. Is a professional qualification like CA, CWA, CPA or CIMA a must to land up in accounting jobs in Canada...

Thank you for your kind words!

I can't believe that I've been here for almost a year! However, it's true. March 29 is my first anniversary. I'm not sure if I'm still a "new" immigrant after Mar 29. :) I would like to be counted as a Canadian, though. I recalled on Mar 28, 2010 I landed at Edmonton, AB without any companies...

Thank you!!! http://alis.alberta.ca/occinfo/Content/RequestAction.asp?format=html&aspAction=GetHomePage&Page=Home This is a good site about career info in Alberta. You can find the avg. salary of diff. NOC.

I'm very sorry for the hard time that you got from that horrible doctor! What I did last year was to drive to his clinic and sit in his office to wait. I spent whole day in his clinic and finally successfully pushed him to process my files. It only took Ottawa five days to process the medical...

Hello folks, I haven't been here for a while. It's time to write and share something now. I landed at Toronto as FSW at the end of 2010 but left two days later. I got an Ontario driver's license (temp) by exchanging with my US license and SIN when I was there. Eight weeks later I received my...

Hello friends, I had similar horrible experience with the Polish guy in Chicago. It took him 8 weeks to process my file and send it to Ottawa. It drove me crazy and finally I drove to his clinic again. I stayed there for 8 hours to push him to process my file. He finally finished and mailed it...

Oh... one more thing, Neel09: Did you get your AB driver's license? I have a full G from Ontario, which I got during my initial landing. I haven't checked the website yet for exchanging AB license. Can I exchange it with my ON license? Or, do I have to wait until I have the first-month bank...

Neel09, It's great for you to have a job offer before you landed in AB. Hopefully, I will be able to find a job soon after my landing. As for the car question, I have given my car to one of friends in the States as a gift. I guess I won't consider buying a new one until the winter is coming in...

Hi Neel09, Thanks for your posting! I can't wait to see Edmonton. May I ask where you lived in the States? I've been in Indiana for a few years. We got 0/F in winter for several days or weeks. What I'm concerned is not the weather but the job market. I'm under NOC1111 and hope to find something...

Dear all, I landed at Toronton on Dec.29, 2010 and left Canada 36 hours later. I received the Maple Leaf Card on Feb. 28, sent by my Toronto friend. I'm going to leave for Edmonton, AB on March 29. I don't have any experience with Edmonton, never visited there before, and don't have friends or...

Ankit20 and Canada77, Thank you very much for your response!

Hi experts, I landed at Toronto Pearson on the end of last month but left for US in a short time. I'm wondering when my maple card can be mailed to my friend's at Toronto. The maple card will be mailed and no need to be picked up in person, right? Thank you!
