I understands than you sure need potter help or if someone you know here to assist you!!
Weather is now good, no snow, roads are good, are you coming as resident or Studies ?
yes sure you need a house nearby University otherwise it will be difficult for you to move around. There are pretty houses available on rent, 1 bed room are cheap.
I came 10 months ago too as resident and struggling in my field of Occupational Health and Safety, Oil prices put Alberta down so less jobs in my field, I may move soon to BC.
Any other help you need let me know...
Regards,

Thank u for the quick reply. Actually, my wife is carrying and i am the only person who can push the trolly. So , I guess it will be difficult to accommodate all those 9 bags in a trolley.

I have rented one studio appt for 15 days through airbnb. I have got admission in U of Alberta in Ms, so , during these time I got to find out any home near the university.

I am coming by Delta following DHaka-kul-SEA-Edmonton

How is the life there in Edmonton? how is the weather now?

Edmonton is comparatively better then Calgary in current scenario of Oil Price crisis. But Sales and distribution opportunities are in every cities bigger like, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal may offer more but proportionate to population competition must be higher. So better to make your mind and land there were you will find family support. My opinion!!!!!

I plan to apply for LPN and RN in Alberta,is this ok and what are my chances as a nurse/midwife with 5 years of experience that lasted up to July last year?
Will NNAS process my application without IELTS?if yes at what stage will CARNA request for IELTS?
To be honest with you all i can say is that we will be landing in Edmonton Alberta, i am really confused as to what province to choose for my application,please can you advice as to any province that processes application fast and does not give much trouble?

I think you have to do some upgradations especially in Nursing they do not automitacally recognise degrees even from Europe, many of BSN and Master in Nursing from reputed institutions Whose institutions has collaberations and also partnered with University of Alberta Nusing school are struggling getting job in Nursing. Try to do IELTS from your back home with at leat 7 or above which can gurantee admission for upgradation. otherwise doing IELTS in Canada is a bit difficult as compared to non English speaking countries I think. Those who has Nursing experience please share your thoughts!!!!!!!!
