Some Advice About Moving To Canada

[Kalash]

Hey,

I am immigrating to Winnipeg on the 31st of October. I am looking for some information about the area where I am going to be living.

I am a musician, and one of the first things I want to do when i get to Canada is find the local unsigned band scene, and musicians so I can start my own band. I'm aware that I can put flyers up in the music shops, but I was curious about what web sites I could use to maybe try and get something lined up for when I arrive. I have found a pipe band that seems interesting, and might give me a bit of experience within a very different style of music from what I am used to.

What other forums and websites exist for teens and young adults?

Finally, if i buy a 1985 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe for $1,500.00 when I arrive, is it going to explode when I drive it away, or will it actually work? lol.

Wow, the beauty of the internet......you can start doing searches BEFORE you arrive, LOL. One consideration with regard to buying cars is to know where they have been driven. Where winters are cold and snowy, you will find a lot of salt damage (rust). Buy nothing until you see it for yourself.

In my opinion, you should establish your social network, with contacts from the local community and broader. Networking is invaluable. For other procedures you might want to review the Welcome to Canada guide by CIC located at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/welcome/index.asp.

After you've established yourself and are ready to keep up with the social mechanisms and process, you can make sound decisions on life elements. For instance, some in your network might suggest whether the Chevrolet will break down or not, thus advising you to go for a truck...
