Taking my First steps
 

Hello All

I'm Allan, 38, married with two kids and we are looking to move out to Canada in the future.
We have booked a week's vacation in Toronto but this is in October so I was wondering if anyone would like to share their experiences, opinions etc on what it takes to move out to and live in Canada.....

I am an Oracle DBA with some 9 years experience so whilst I am in Toronto I will be looking to see what the job market is like. My wife Julie, is working for Local Government and we both have degrees so I am not sure how many 'points' that equates to in getting in to Canada.

If anyone is in the Toronto area in October I would love to meet for a coffee and would dearly love to hear from anyone who can suggest other places to look for work etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you all
Cheers
Big Al

Hi Big Al and Family
If you have time, read through old threads and you'll get many experiences from a wide range of people spread throughout the provinces. Some negatives, some positives , but often a wealth of information about all sorts of relevant subjects...........many you won't even have thought about yet.

Best of luck with the research:thumbup:

I will take your advice and spend more time looking through the old posts.

What I am particularly interested in at the moment are links to job sites to see if I can post my CV etc.

We are a tad worried that due to the time it takes to successfully apply to come to Canada, it will mean my eldest daughter will be approaching her exams, so it would be better for us as a family if I could get a job across there first and hopefully speed up the process.

Cheers
