Good Evening,

Quick question. Can a family of 5 survive with an income of 140K CAD in Oshawa? Wife does not work for now. Plan to land finally over summer after soft landing last year.

Thanks for your help.

deyplay:
if per annum, yes na. Oshawa is not like Toronto

leopardinatree:


Very big congrats. Please, i have a few questions, if you don't mind;
Did you fill the 10 page registration?
Do you have French proficiency?
Did you get any interest from an NB employer prior to receiving their LOI?
Is there anything in particular that you did that may have aided/resulted in them selecting you?
How long did it take since your application (if you applied) until selection?
What is your NOC code?

Thanks.

ganie:

It is your transcript that needs to be evaluated

Savagethe21st:
the issue is schools don't give transcript to students. So how will I upload it to them

overlord77:


Pay for WES, you'd get a ref nos and a downloadable form. Fill and give same to your Alma mata, pay the fee and they will send it to WES directly. Go to www.wes.org

ednut1:
uncle can be used for PNP like Manitoba or Saskatchewan if they reside there. For CRS points its only siblings

Sumam:

Pls house help

Use WES

GraciousWords:


In the ADR letter IRCC usually indicate who the document is required for, for example:

Aisha Bimpe Chidinma,
schedule A (IMM5669), newly completed bearing an original signature, leave no gaps.

Meaning they need Aisha to fill the form with her info and sign.

As she is now above 18, I suspect the ADR is addressed to your daughter and she needs to complete these forms and sign off. Scan and upload in the placeholders and also send by webform just for good measure.....also suspect she may also need a PCC (adulting things, it's not easy to be 18!!!), but you could decide to wait till IRCC specifically ask for that...if they do.


I assume she turned 18 after your AOR, i.e. after you submitted you application.

Firstly, I submitted an EOI sometime in Feb 2023 using this link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://inb.gnb.ca/&ved=2ahUKEwjoyJ--t_r-AhXTNcAKHYTYClkQFnoECA4QAQ&usg=AOvVaw12G1agHnrK9xhyWub6ZMkL

Please note that you should have your IELTS and ECA ready prior. My profession NOC is 21232 - Software Developer
Hope this answers your questions. I remember attending an ICT info session too sometime in March 2021 cos they asked for it as well.
At the moment, NB has a recruitment event coming up in June, register and endeavour to attend as attendance is a plus. All the best everyone



Here is the link for the recruitment event for various sectors

https://gnb1.hiringplatform.ca/117629-2023-nb-virtual-recruitment/460193-pre-registration-form/en

Lest I forget, I don't have a French result.

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.

I came across this during my research, I am wondering how does it relate to what you did?


To be eligible to apply to the New Brunswick Express Entry Stream, you must first meet one of the three connections below:

NB Employment Connection
NB Student Connection
NB Occupations in Demand Connection
Each connection has specific instructions on how to apply. Please follow the instructions carefully. If you do not, we may not receive your EOI.

Complete an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the province through the INB Portal.

Each month, Immigration NB invites candidates by selecting from the pool of eligible EOIs and issuing ITAs to those selected.

Invitations – April 2023


If you receive an ITA, you have 45 days to submit a complete application. If your application is approved, you will be nominated by the province. You will have 30 days to accept the nomination in your Federal Express Entry account.

Submitting an application and meeting the eligibility requirements for the New Brunswick Express Entry Stream does NOT guarantee a nomination.

Important: GNB reserves the right to change criteria and/or pause streams. Check the NB immigration website regularly to stay up to date with all changes.

My concern is that I don't have a tech noc. and we all know tech is in demand, they even have tech specific recruitment events. That being the case, do I still have a chance? In short, can I submit an EOI without the three mentioned : employment connection, student connection or occupation in demand?

Thanks again.

With such income, you should be comfortable, even in Toronto region.
Some households don't even earn such amount. Also, I believe government will also provide child benefit if your income qualifies.
Speaking of Oshawa, the only difference in terms of cost between there and Toronto might be slightly the accomodation (depending on where you live in both cities. Some places in Oshawa might end up being more expensive than some places in Toronto region), every other thing is pretty much the same. I live a bit further away from Oshawa and i don't spend less living here in terms of groceries and the rest.

littyprincess:

Yes it’s more than enough. People are surviving there with less.

Enculer2:


In Oshawa area?

Enculer2:


Thanks for your feedback.

So I am a bit concerned with the living expense - accommodation especially and 5 mouths to feed. I understand that the Durham region has got some expensive areas but hoping to consider places like Ajax, Whitby, etc.

I installed the HouseSigma App. excellent app I must say; it gives info on houses to buy or rent and even gives ranking based on factors like school ratings etc.

Have you tried the HouseSigma software before, Your thoughts?

There are other provinces you can submit EOI for besides these 3 you mentioned. For instance, NB has a recruitment session coming up in June, go register. I just got their PNP LOI on my EE profile about 5days ago.

ultrazone:

Congratulations. If applicable, was your spouse's resume/employment history requested at any point before the LOI?

jasperonyx:
congratulations on your LO1, I discovered that you cannot submit an EOI till you attend their information session or if you have connections to NB. Is this the steps you followed?
