So, its no different than getting SSN in the US. I remember going to the Social Security office at 6 am and coming out at 11 am.
Bro it is same as US most things ,the things that I am dissatisfied till now is their phone plans are to expensive unlimited plans 100$ I was like really in us I got that for 40$ from mint.
Gas prices it is too expensive
Buspass 112 $ for a month I was like really in US it is max 30-40 in Houston
Groceries-if you buy from canadian superstore it is okay but other placed like coop (pasta 2.5 $ in canada superstore, 3.5 in coop,milk same company 5.5 superstore 6 in coop) small things add up it is expensive

Bus and phone/internet are stupid expensive. Gas is actually okay compared to Europe but coming from the US you'd find it expensive yeah. Also it got worse because of the Ukraine war and post pandemic inflation. Also I'm surprised you thought public transport is good in Calgary, it really isn't mate, at least by Vancouver or Euro standards. I mean it depends where you are and where you're going. Not difficult to buy a car and regularly buy gas if you have a proper salary though so it's no big deal.
I've had the chance to travel around quite a bit and to be honest, telecommunication and transportation in Europe was way better than my experience in North America, and things seem to cost more in Canada (with fewwer options) than the US. But then again, the Canadian immigration was more favorable thus my effort to relocate there. Plus, Canada seems to be safer and a bit more welcoming so with the right mindset, you adapt and everything worksout. I am pre-ITA though, covid messed me up, lol.
Disclaimer: This is just my personal experience and opinion, not based on any research or body of knowledge.
North America and Europe are different. Landmass is way bigger, it is country for cars not public transport
If you want ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO near a lake, come to Windsor.
Alberta or BC would be better options if you want to live on the lake. You can have the backdrop of mountains too!
The main issue in healthcare is supply like you said. Residency numbers annually has not changed in years while the population increased drastically. They make it near impossible for foreign professionals to get licensed. It seems like they will finally improve the wait for nurses, but its ridiculous, having thousands of experienced professionals working as PSW for years because their degree analysis is still pending. That together with an aging population screws everything up.
I read that there are more than enough Canadian doctors but they cap numbers per year to get a license to prevent lowering salaries because they fear they will go to US instead. Kinda makes sense but sucks at the same time
Then those doctors that couldn't get a residency simply goes to the US to complete it, so its still quite dumb.
Hi fellows! I am planning to withdraw/recreate my EE profile in June due to some family changes. My question is whether this can affect me in July when they resume draws because my account will become fresh and there is a tie-break rule...? What is the best solution could be?
