XX01:


Why not go there towards your visa expiration, complete landing formalities then use the next 2 years to know if that's what you want. It will give you about 3 years to make up your mind. You can even go on holiday there a few times.

Hi, you can actually check rents for different spec of accommodation on kijiji.ca, viewit.ca, rentfaster.ca, 4rent.ca to mention a few. Just enter the details of what you want and what is available will be provided to you for review.

Most of Mississauga is safe to live in as crazy as that might sound but I never heard a bad story while I lived there. This is not to say that is absolutely no bad area but as with any major city, there are good and bad sides. For me, it actually turned out to be a great place for the year I resided there. I lived in Erindale very close to a shopping mall, opposite a bank branch with a barber and doctor's clinic next door. My kids' school was a walkable distance with the library close by (the neighborhood high school shares property with the library). 2 major bustops outside my apartment building made my commuting life easy as a job hunter then and my wife got her job opposite my kids school! That was a big plus and a remarkable coincidence. So she could drive to the kids school, drop them off and cross down the road to her office. I would catch a ride with her and walk across the street to Erindale GO Station for my train ride to Toronto to get to work, very nice arrangement at the time.

Other nice neighborhoods include Erin Mills, Churchil Meadows, City Centre, Creditview, Meadowvale and Dixie off the top of my head. I have friends living in these areas who have had no cause to complain. Once you find an accommodation you like, just Google about the property and the neighborhood to find out if there are any averse issues. You'll do fine though, Mississaug is a great place to live.

keni:


@rainazoe please if you are not considering any other option, please take this one that I quoted from XX01 its a win win for you. You will see the effect when the kids are in their late teens/early 20s

sleekchic:


Thank you but please do you mean you submitted a 3 month bank statement or 3 month treasury bill

ikillmods:

CAstruggle:


3months treasury bill.

TheCongo2:


As permanent Citizen/permanent resident OR a visitor?
If you are coming to Canada as permanent resident then the cost of childbirth is $0

Most of us here are either Citizens or residents of Canada. Therefore, the majority of us may not be familiar with the cost/process of giving birth in Canada on a visiting visa.

If you do not mind my asking and/or if the reason is not personal, can you please share why you moved from Mississauga esp. given the great set-up you just described. I have observed that most people here seem to avoid Toronto, I intend to settle in downtown Toronto and was hoping to read the experiences of someone living there. Based on my experience and interaction with those that came before me, the prime consideration in not living in Toronto is the cost, wether renting or buying. The advantage of living close to or in Toronto is outweighed by the comfort of living further away when you can own a home that is more bang for your buck. On the average, the apartment that $900 rent will get you in core Toronto is basically a washroom compared to what you would get for that same price outside the city. It's like buying an apartment in VI for N35m when you can build a fantastic detached house for that price in Ajah just down the road I had hoped @czaratwork would settle in Toronto per her finance career background, but for some reason she opted for Mississauga. Now you are moving from Missi which is closest to Toronto, to Brampton which is further out, hence, my question - asides the high cost of living, are there other reasons to live far especially if one is working in Toronto? Toronto is a great city but carries the problems of most cities; crime and saturation. It doesn't have the highest crime rate in the country or anything like that but the suburbs are far better places to live and especially to raise a family. Just like in Lagos where most people working on the island live on the mainland, so also here even for the Canadians. Most people working in Toronto actually live outside Toronto. When you see 4th and 5th generation Canadians like my colleagues working downtown but buying properties and living in the outlying cities, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that not everyone likes core city life. Some do, some don't, you just get in where you fit in I have always thought that Toronto is to Ontario, what Island is to Lagos, hence, if you lived on the Island in Lagos, you generally should have no qualms living in Toronto, but it is looking like this view may not be entirely correct.

Morbolar:


Hi Tone23. Pls are you a pharmacist and already landed. If yes, how has it been settling in. Any prospects for jobs while sitting the licensing exams?

pongwa:
good day everyone! I am trying to try my chances at this Canadian express thing. I will really need to few things from the house. I am a engineer by profession but I work for the Nigeria immigration service presently. I just need to know if job experience for immigration will be accepted because apparently, thats the only viable job experience that i have had since I graduated. thanks

Blackbuddy:


Hi, please see in red above some comments. Note also there are actually a lot of people living in Toronto, at least that I know of but a majority live outside Toronto especially where you consider our cultural inclination for living in large spaces with plenty greenery around, it makes a bit more sense. When you're renting, it might not matter but when you're buying a property and will pay mortgage on it, you may prefer to own a substantial bit more square footage outside Toronto than a cubicle in the downtown. What you pay as rent for an apartment in the downtown could cover your mortgage on a house in the suburbs and when you have kids who need space, you will get this point. Just like in Naija, the further you are from the city, the more value for your money in terms of space. This holds true for any city wether in Lagos, Abuja, London, New York. It's all about budget and preference, there's something for everyone so rest assured, you can find whichever you prefer. By the time you're here, you'll be able to determine what suits you fine easier. Hope this helps.
