"DUBAI APPLICANTS" **Let's Network & Get Connected**

[yogi77]

Advance Happy New Year to all!!! Need some help from those who have an experience in applying for membership in APEGA and Licensure Exam. We're planning to land in ALberta by March 2014 together with my wife & 2 kids. I already started preparing the necessary documents like submitting the Education Records direct from my school in the Philippines to APEGA. Im still preparing the other requirements such as the Experience Record while im still here in Dubai, while i'll do the online application once i finished it... Any tips, information or advise on how to apply for membership in APEGA is big enough to help me on this. How about the TOEFEL? Is my 13 years total experience as Engineer (7 years in DUbai) is enough to qualify? I know that i need to upgrade my philippine education to met the canadian standards, do i need to go back to school or just some bridging program? what are the best thing to do?

Ideally June - July is the best time to travel but worst in terms of ticket costs.
Medicals expiring in April 2014 and hope that they send PPR soon.

Wish all the members a Happy and Prosperous 2014 not only in getting PPR but safe landing as well as successful life thereafter.

Hi All,

Just got the Visa stamped on my passport.

There is a doubt troubling me, its kinda stupid you would say, but need your opinion.

I have heard lot about the quality of life & facilities in canada as compared to dubai but the idea of leaving my decent job here & moving to a new place without a job is giving me sleepless nights.

Is it normal to feel insecure at this stage? What if one doesn't get a decent job there?

Looking forward to your replies

same situation for others too......

When u go to Canada, assume you will not get job till 6 month to 1 year.....u need to be financially strong for that period.

Work in Dubai for 2 or 3 years from now and then u can plan to move finally to Canada....

Hi coolguy,

Thanx for the reply.

The situation would still be the same. Either i struggle (be without job) today or after 2 - 3 years.

as coolguy wrote, better to save sufficient funds for 06-12 month jobless period and then move to canada, while you are in DXB
