Hi All Seniors, I am new to this forum. Myself & wife are planning to shift to Calgary in coming February. I have certain queries related to settlement. Appreciate if you could guide me.
1. what would be approx. monthly rent of 1 bedroom furnished apartment near to downtown? Are they easily available for newcomers like me having no prior credit history.
2. For health card application, whether permanent address proof is a prerequisite? If yes, does that mean I have to arrange separate Health insurance till I arrange my permanent address.
3. Please advise whether arranging mobile phone connection is not a complicated activity. Is post paid preferable & cheaper option than prepaid? Which mobile network company provides reasonably cheaper rates?

Thanks in advance
