    First Job, Canadian Experience

    Sorry for late reply on this. I am loving KW so far. Nothing is too far away, commute times are less, not much traffic/not busy. Real estate costs cheaper than Toronto and GTA. It may not be as multicultural as other cities. And in fact the multi cultural aspect that is there could be...

    First Job, Canadian Experience

    I actually havent met anyone from my original country of residence since i moved to Kitchener/Waterloo. It doesnt quite bother me either, as my goal is to integrate. Besides lower cost of living, i feel it is easier getting jobs in smaller towns. Easier getting around and also adjusting. Many...

    First Job, Canadian Experience

    Prior to moving to Canada, this was one of the things i was most afraid of. After reading numerous articles, posts on this, i was worried. Did i make the right choice? There were so many stories of people leaving good jobs in their own countries to start a new life abroad. And then after coming...

    If they ask you to do a medical again, its always a good sign. And if you think of it, it might not be bad in a way because, you will have longer travel period between landing expiry and COPR. In my case i got less than 2 weeks, around 10 if you count weekend and public holiday. They did not...

    Got PPR, COPR, passport stamped-recieved Monday. But they only gave around 10 days to fly, because my medicals were expiring 3rd March. Thats a bit difficult, because until i received the golden email i didnt receive a single update on my application-was on IP1 since April 2018. Contacted them...

    PPR to COPR Journey - PPR in JAN/FEB-19

    Got passports stamped-they are expecting us to travel within 2 weeks-which is very challenging (Due to medical expiry date) Its not just abt doing a soft landing, availability of flights, organizing things at home, work-without notice. Anyone has any experience of getting extensions?

    PPR to COPR Journey - PPR in JAN/FEB-19

    Submitted my passport today. A bit nervous about when they will expect me to land, considering my medicals expire early March. Hoping they will give me a bit more time. To get to PPR it took 10 months. It came out of the blue, and am completely unprepared to travel. Soft landing is of course...

    March 2018 AOR - join here!

    Theres not much you can do really. My AOR was early April. There was no movement in my application, stuck at IP1 all along. And then after ten months-out of nowhere i got the email. Even few days before i called and asked they said my background check hasnt started yet. Lets hope for the best...

    Applicants from Sri Lanka Connect here

    I am not sure whether you should include that-if it was a holiday or something. Because they will clearly leave that part out, and you have to justify to CIC where you were. In my case i spent 3 years outside Sri Lanka studying, and 1 year outside working. In the PCC, SL Police have left those...

    Wants to study mba in canada

    Shouldnt be. But you will need a pretty good GMAT score. And be prepared to spend quite a bit for it! There are a few value for money MBA's, but most are quite pricey
