Hi Alwin, Thanks for your reply. After many consideration, I have decided to settle in Moncton. Being Lebanese, we feel it is the closest to our culture considering school system as well. Also my wife and I could easily find jobs there.
I will rent a place and try if not I might move to Fredericton as well

Hi Pascal,

I've actually not come to this phase. Taking things as it comes, after the damage of waiting for nomination after 224 days.
However, would love to get inputs.

Waiting for CIC Invitation.

Regarding settling down - guess I will start looking for better job opportunity initially, as school for kids is not an issue in any part of NB. And moreover for me, I will have a 'grace' 1 year to put my kid in school. So, hopefully I will figure out.

Pascal,

Another question. Are you planning your move on, When to move? As most of them prefer moving during Spring.
As moving in December is like going from any better to -8°C. I know we have to adapt, but first move guess will matter.

Any thoughts.

Hi! I received my nomination on January/2017 and ITA from EE in the next day.

• Where in New Brunswick are you planning to settle?

We are planning to settle in Moncton, having Fredericton as a second option.

• How did you make your choice

After some research I've found more job opportunities for my professional profile in Moncton, followed close by Fredericton, but we have friends in Sydney (NS) and Halifax, that puts Moncton closer to those friends.
We also would like to live in a city no so hilly as our home city.

• How are you planning to land

How or when? ???
We are planning to land hopefully in August/2017.

• any recommendation when to come to temp accommodation

We are in connection with some friends to rent a bedroom for the first month, so we will have more time to search for a good place to rent.

Hi pascal

Nice initiative to connect here .

We are planning to do the landing in October and then decide the move in date . However depends on the cic time frame.

Moncton , Fred are our options too , will need to check out during our landing.

Moncton seems to be having some strategy to settle new immigrants. Saw some presentations

Hi Sam,

Thanks for taking time to reply. May I know where did you see the presentation? I have seen some videos on YouTube, but they are old.

Hi Pascal,

As of now, our intended destination is Fredericton; but then it all depends on where we get the opportunity. Even if I move immediately, my wife and children will have to remain in UAE till my daughters complete their Academic year in August. I believe NB also follows the same Academic time period as same of the UK curriculum in UAE.

I heard from a friend of mine, there are many opportunities in NB, I do not know whether its true. According to this friend of mine, all new immigrants target Ontario, nobody prefers to come to NB. It's really a quite and beautiful place, especially, people like us will definitely like, since here we are now in the mid of concrete jungle.After visiting my cousin in Redditch-Birmingham last year, I am completely in love with nature.

He said if you are looking for night life like Discos, night clubs etc, then NB is not the place. Otherwise, you will like it.

Hi Pascal
I had seen a strategy 2015 presentation by city of greater moncton and I was sort of impressed . They seem to be thinking how to retain immigrants and help them settle. It's important for their economy as many of the young folks are moving to big cities. I will search for the link and post it

I have read the same things . Toronto and Vancouver are crowded by immigrants and therefore a shrink of opportunities too. I personally feel , leaving the winter chill , there is a higher probability of setting their earlier and off course add the beauty of nature
