hi pinaynurse, sa sk din gusto ko kaso no specific city pa, dati calgary sana ang destination namin kc andoon kaibigan ko at mga kabayan, kaso ung pagkuha ng relative ang parang mahirap doon, so i choose sk na kc open daw sila kahit naka one year lang daw.

di ba andun hubby mo, civil engr kc si hubby at ako naman geodetic engr, ask ko lang kung madami ba ganoon na job sa saskatoon? syempre start talaga ng blue collar job, kung halimbawa mag aral kmi jan ng related sa profession namin, okay ba ang market ng engineering joib doon.

ang panagalawang tanung ko is parang nag iisip ako na magkuha ng care giving course dito habang waiting palang kmi, parang sa nababasa ko kc parang madaling makahanap ng work related sa care giving. kailangan ko ba talaga kuha ng care giving course dito para makapasok na care giver doon? iniisip ko rin anu kaya kung kuha anko ng welding course sa tesda o kaya culinary, kindly give advise para atleast makaprepare habang andito pa. ung friend ko kc sa calgary na civil engr, saleslady daw sya doon ng victoria secret, tapos ung hubby na accountancy graduate is sa warehouse naman ang work, bale 6 months na ata sila dun.

any advise. thanks in advance

Wala talaga ako personal na idea about saskatoon :) kasi lahat nang nalalaman ko about saskatoon, lahat based lang sa kwentuhan namin ng asawa ko. Hubby ko, sa mining sia work (above ground) kasi mataas sweldo sa mining. Sa saskatoon kasi daw, 3 yata companies ng mining, and sa company nila, lagi lagi may hiring...geodetic (?) engineer ka diba? So, I think mas okay ang career mo compare sa hubby mo na civil engineer (not sure pa din). Tatay ng asawa ko kasi, doctor sia sa saskatoon, sabi nya sa akin, thousands of nurses are retiring sa SK last year, much more this year :) So badly in need ang SK ng mga medical field kasi andaming mga oldies/retirees/geria patients :) So, if mag caregiver ka, okay din naman siguro kasi madami naman daw dun home care facilities :) Pero kung ako tanungin mo, mas okay na may fallback ka sa pagka engineer mo pag dating mo sa Canada :) Kasi, kung di man mag work out ang first career mo, may back-up career ka pa na isa :) Habang waiting ka pa, andito pa tayo sa pinas, mas okay din siguro na pag dating natin dun, kahit papano, prepared tayo. May plan A and plan B :) Pero, so far sabi ng asawa ko, di naman daw mahirap mag hanap work sa Saskatoon :) I dunno :) Nurse ako, pero baka sa mining bagsak ko...hahaha, joke lang :) wag naman sana :) hehehe...

saskatoon ka nalang angel :) nurse din ako...para marami nako makasama pasyal pasyal....sabi ng asawa ko, sobrang magastos ang calgary o ontario/toronto...di ka makasave masyado...pag gusto mo madaming buildings matataas at busy life....calgary/ontario ka...pero pag gusto mo, tahimik, malinis, at parang nag babakasyon ka lang, saskatoon kana (hehehe, nag propromote lang ako, para madami makakasama dun :) hehehhe...pero totoo naman kaya :))...tapos, pag gusto mo bigtym shopping and gumastos ng pera mo...4 hours drive to edmonton daw, biggest shopping mall daw sa western canada....then uwi ka saskatoon, mag trabaho at mag save kasi mas mura standard of living doon....hehehe (talagang nag convince, hehehe)

sabi pa ng father in law ko, hundreds of nurses are retiring now in saskatoon, this year...much more next year...kaya, once makapasa tayo ng crne at qualified tayo...madali nalang kahanap work :) hehehe

hi nurse_angel! feel ko sagutin queries mo kahit di sakin naka address, for sure jandox wouldn't mind, ka txt ko lng sya kanina.

anyways, need ung pdos even for migrants. this is being conducted by CFO (commission on filipino overseas). wag mo na ask ang consultant mo, "it's a must to attend" kase hahanapin ng immigration sa airport ung sticker ng cfo. pag wala, di ka makakaalis. if you're here in manila, the office is located at citigold center along pres. quirino corner osmena (slex).

about the ticket, parehas kami ni jandox nakakuha ng promo for 1st time immigrant sa pal. $730 including travel tax sa always travel, ung kay jandox sa cic travel naman nya nakuha at $725 excluding travel tax sabi nya... ;)

@ jandox, konti na lng sasabihin mo pag nagreply ka, hahaha... ;D
Hi guys! Sorry for the late reply. hehe!

Wala na ako sasabihin. Ellian25 answered it very well. Thank you very much. hehehe! :D ;D

Pwede naman siguro...check mo lang pag dating mo dun. Andaming pinoy din dun daw kasi nag tatrabaho. Yung ibang pinoy nga, papatayo na ng malalaking bahay. Open naman ang mining company nila sa mga other nationalities. Ibang kasama nya nga, parang walang alam, pero di materminate kasi maganda ang contract between employer-employee nila, di tulad sa atin na lagi dehado ang employee :) So far, last month parang may hiring sila :) Dami daming bago daw :) So, baka (baka lang...) di sia mahirap pasukin na trabaho, at maganda pa kita mo :) Hehehe. Saskatoon area talaga yung mining company nila :) (feeling know it all naman ako, hehehe....yun lang naman kwento sa akin ng asawa ko). hehe.

hi mmkk!

ang mahal ng airfare mo for a family of 4?. try to compare prices, if u can get a promo fare, say $730.00/pax, a family of 4 will only cost you $2,920.00. i think the fee for less than 2 yo is cheaper cause the child will not be occupying a seat, reason why the rate is only $211. suggest you get a full fare for your baby para makaupo rin sya, mahaba-haba din ang byahe... goodluck and see u in sk!

mmkk,

huwag kayo kumuha sa online. buy kayo ng tickets through agency kasi malaki ang discount for 1st time immigrants. makakakuha ka ng less than 800 kung through agency. kung online, mahal talaga kasi walang discount.
