Anytime I look at Alberta real estate, I just wish to run away from Ontario. If I had not established in Ontario, I wouldn't have thought twice about relocating to Alberta. They are really enjoying

Ontario real estate problem escalated after the pandemic. In 2019 and early 2020, you could still get a sharp 2 bed apartment for $1,100 in the Region of Waterloo but now ......

I thought they said People with VV can now get work and switch their visa to work visa .

ednut1:
that chances of getting work while on VV is less than 5% . The same work you are applying for people with status like PR, study work permit, post graduate permit are also applying. If you were an employer would you hire someone that can resume immediately or someone you still have to process/ pay for LMIA/ work permit that may take 2 to 3 months to complete
Some have been lucky sha by going to remote locations or provinces, many are stranded and have applied for asylum. Others are packing their bags to return home.

Nche95:
going to remote provinces will be an ideal thing to do. But the pay will be lower.

ednut1:
is lower pay not better than being stranded in a major city

Nche95:
please can you list out some of the remote provinces ? I am planning to use this route. And one agent who was recommended to me was asking for 80% upfront payment to help process the visit visa. Her charged 2.5M . I will be the one to carter for the POF

ednut1:
how can someone charge you 2.5m for something that you can do yourself with information online and on youtube. Go and make your research on the provinces in Canada and job prospects.

Hello everyone
This enquiry is for residents in Canada. I want to know how you cope with the medical bills. What do you do to keep the medical bill as a result of treatment low?

Jolly123:


Canada has free health care for PR and Citizens. You don’t pay anything. I'm not sure about students or visitors, though. I came as PR

Going to 'remote' provinces is not even a gurantee because people with status: PR, study work permit, post graduate permit are also applying for the same positions.

'Most' business owners who apply for LMIA here primarily use it as a means to bring people from their home countries. Unless he intends to go to those Northern communities with less than 700 residents where the cost of living is very high and the likelyhood of getting LMIA job sponsorship is exteremly low.

Coverting VV to WV is not as easy as 'agents' claim, many of them are aware but just deceive people. A friend's sister who came on a VV had to go back to Nigeria because she couldn't get a job.

Hi, are there any legal means for a 57yr old retired woman with 3 children below 10yrs, relocate and work in Canada without writing IELTS? Thanks for the info.

Jolly123:
Hello! I’m looking to move from Ontario(Aurora) to Edmonton with my son. Looking for advice on good areas to rent in or possibly buy a 3 bedroom townhouse. I’ve been in Canada for a while but Ontario is just not cutting it for me anymore. Renting or buying is just too pricy here now. Landlord is selling my place and the options out there are so unaffordable.
Any Edmonton groups/ WhatsApp I can join?

Hello,
I am a bit perplexed and wondering if anyone could share some info with me. I just managed to get the required french level for French CBD draws and much as i am excited about updating my EE profile i am also wondering if i have better chances in Quebec's Arrima as compared to Ontario french draws. Another thing i am worried about is the 1500 OINP application fee as i continue to amass my POF and thinking that Quebec is a better option as it has a lower POF requirement. My fear is that Quebec may be difficult to survive for the rest of my family as i am the only french proficient member of the family.

Just to put into perspective:
1. i have an active profile in both EE and Arrima
2. should i update both profiles with my french results?
3. where do i stand a higher chance considering my CRS is currently in the ranges of 300-330 before NCLC 7 french update
4. hubby has no eca or ielts and doesnt plan on pursuing either
5. will my family manage the mainly french speaking Quebec environment, in terms of hubby getting a job as non french speaker, children coping with public school where i assume french is the medium of instruction?

I know i am putting the cart before the horse here but i would like to make an informed decision before i take any further action with regards to updating my profiles. I understand that i am not guaranteed ITA either way but better to ask that to be sorry i didnt.

thanks in anticipation.

Wrong thread. Visit the express entry page to get better opinions from folks currently on the same phase.

njambert:
On the otherhand, you get better/diverse job opportunities, better salaries and better returns on real estate investments.So just depends on which tradeoffs you're comfortable with.

Enculer2:


It is by no means the wrong thread. This thread is the perfect thread for the poster.

She wants to know what she should do. EE to Ontario or to go to Montreal. She will need info from people on ground in Canada and I imagine many people currently living in Canada have gone through this phase.

Enculer2:


You gotta think globally. Your family must be carried along. My advice will be to use your French skills to get into Ontario.

I was in a similar phase as you currently are now. I considered Ontario and Quebec.

My only worry is that your hubby has no plans to write ielts. He gotta pull his weight and support the big picture.

I admire your drive. I admire ladies who are focused on the Canadian dream. You have asked the right questions and you are well on your way.

Feel free to hit me. We carry our francophones along.

Bonne chance.

Enculer2:

Do you like Alberta though? Do you hate Ontario apart from the housing crunch?

Kenn55:


I still like Ontario despite the higher cost of living

Voltron007:
Even if you must use an agent, 2.5m is too much. Not everyone has the time and resources to burn data on researching. I’d advise you scout for a more reasonable agent if you can’t DIY.

Every information you’d ever need from the beginning to the end is on nairaland. Save your 2.5m or dash me. 🤪

miolad20:
No time and resources, but they have millions to pay agent. Okay o. Our people never learn sha. Research and DIY that they will still do when/if they eventually land here to survive.

Kenn55:


Abeg no vex. Where do you pay this kind of outrageous amount on utilities? Which kind of property is that?
