Finally in Calgary!!
 

Hi All,

Just want to say thanks to all who helped and contributed in one way or another to my journey so far.

I finally landed in Calgary on 01 May and my landing process was as easy as can be. Was so surprised by the friendliness of the immigration officers and had no stress at all, all went very hitch free:thumbup:

Been quite busy since then trying to sort out the SIN Number, health registration and my CGA conversion. All done now and the very important task of job searching has now started:fingerscrossed: Looking a bit daunting at the mo, getting the impression that the Canadian experience may be an issue but guess to early to conclude so will just keep searching and hope the CGA membership now under my belt will help.

Sending out loads of applications :) daily at the mo so will give it like a week to see if any responses come in, none so far!!:(

Hopefully, will not have to lament on this website. For now just want to say thanks all and if anyone knows of any companies recruiting for Finance / Accounting posts, keep me informed.

Thanks y'all and will hopefully have some good news to share soon. Have a great week all.

Kingskid.

Yes, That is quite a quote that I do seem to be living to it at the moment! We wanted an adventure and it really is.:unsure:

Settling down slowly and discovering that 'it is going to take 'some' time before we get comfortable with being the immigrants now! he he..

Sorry no contacts in accounting etc...

All the very best and be positive:thumbup:

Mountains are so close!
I'm in the finance field myself. I could help you get a foot in and meet some people if you would like?
