Thanks, but what does this mean for immigrants in/to Alberta?

Zeiya:

Wow, I am hoping to settle in Calgary, still waiting for my PPR. Hope you don't have any regrets living in the city?

So Alberta has been let down again, and Notley threw a fit.

"In a dramatic announcement Thursday evening, Premier Rachel Notley said she is pulling Alberta out of the national climate-change plan to protest a federal court ruling that quashed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline".

Big mess.

Alberta really needs to diversify its economy.

You guys should really research job opportunities before deciding on where to land.
Housing in Ontario is skyrocketing too.
Single applicants have more flexibility to move around than those with kids.
Winter is coming lol.

That being said Toronto is also lovely haha.

Hello all. Arrived Calgary last weekend and settling in well!
Will find time to give landing gist soon.

Landed seniors, please I need your thoughts and information on buying a car. My budget is CAD 4 - 5k for all expenses to be incurred.

1. Someone recommended buying from Regal Auctions, who conduct auctions every Saturday and Wednesdays. Are there any experiences using them? pros and cons? I have also checked out kijiji. Will be glad for thoughts on this.

2. Please can you provide a breakdown of all expenses to be incurred when purchasing a car? E.g. sales tax, registrations, and car parts (e.g. winter tires - how much and when it should be done)

Thanks in advance.

Elections are coming!
She must be under real pressure for a NDP government to pull out of a climate change plan.

I do not blame her.
The job losses have already begun.

Yes, you can.

My work place as do most places pay salaries every two weeks (not bi monthly) so my first week was a pay

So I was spared the "embarrassment" of confronting the MD. A member of this group wasn't so lucky. He saw his pay check and went to HR.


Moral of the story, know if your wages are bi weekly or bi monthly before you "go an vex for oga at the top".


PS: For those in Ottawa, we need to pick a weekend that would be comfortable for everyone to meet in person and hang out.

Thanks for this response. Was actually thinking the credit system would work in the same way criminal and other global checks are conducted - checking with other national partners to foresee any risk.

Generally speaking, I’ll be surprised if there’s no existing program in place to bridge this gap.

Thanks again.
