Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
 

I didn't know that....did anyone else know that?......should I have used the search function?

Anyway, I have emailed them. Does this get around that problem?

Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
 

I must admit 700+ posts later i do try and keep away from the new section or advise new ones to read the wiki :thumbsup:

Hubby joined a few weeks ago and i sent him a PM, he told me that he wasnt allowed to read it until he got to 3 posts, try sending them a email rather than a PM

Judy has been on here along time, very helpful to me and millions more, but i do think when you sign up you should be directed to the wiki articles, would of saved me sometime in the mean time :thumbsup:

Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
 

I've just added up the Wiki articles that I've written, and even I'm surprised to discover that the total comes to 55. They are:

1. Abbreviations and Acronyms
2. Alberta Health
3. Annual Leave
4. Arrival To Do List
5. Bed Sizes
6. Business Class Immigration
7. Calgary [neighbourhoods]
8. Calgary Schooling
9. Canada versus Australia
10. Canadian Immigration Overview
11. Canadian Schooling
12. Careers in Canada [overview]
13. Children
14. Cost of Living
15. Create Wiki Page
16. Criminal Rehabilitation
17. Departure To Do List (copied from a fabulous post)
18. Equivalency of Qualifications
19. Family Class Immigration
20. Finding Job Opportunities
21. Getting into Canada quickly
22. Goods To Follow
23. Hiring Culture
24. Holidays and Festivals
25. Housing
26. Immigration Consultants
27. Information Technology Workers
28. Job Hunting Closure
29. Job Interview
30. Medical and Dental Treatment
31. Medical Insurance
32. Money
33. Networking
34. Newcomers to the forum
35. Occupations under Pressure
36. Ottawa (great contributions from others after I started it)
37. Permanent Residence Visas
38. Provincial Nomination
39. Quebec Selected Immigration
40. Regions of Canada
41. Renting
42. Residency Obligations
43. Resume and Letter (resume part from me, letter part largely from someone else)
44. Retiring in Canada
45. Salaries
46. Saying Thank You
47. Skilled Trades
48. Skilled Worker Immigration
49. Student Visas
50. Tips on using the forum
51. Transporting Pets (with contributions from others)
52. Truck Driving in Canada (with many excellent contributions from others)
53. Whitehorse (copied and pasted from someone else’s post on the forum)
54. Work Permits
55. Work Permits for Children

This does not count articles that I created in case people used another term to look for a topic, e.g., the article entitled "Qualifications" merely refers the reader to the article entitled "Equivalency of Qualifications."

And now I'm going to take a break from BE (am still planning to attend the get together at ann m's house, though).

I'm not proud of myself for being rude and, as I myself said in the article called "Tips on using the forum," when you feel yourself getting hot under the collar, consider taking a break from the forum.

Hi,

Thankyou to those who have replied to my post on here and by email, I really do appreciate your messages and advice. I can`t view PM`s yet until I have 3 posts. I am not a troll or dodgy. I am genuine young lady who is looking for advice on emigrating to Canada with my family, which is big step to take in most people lives and want to make sure that I have done my research and get first hand experiences from people who have done it and or in the process of doing it. I will read the information people have posted thankyou. A bit about my family.

I am 30 my husband 32
Two boys nearly 4 and 18 months
I was a Team Manager for Mobile company for 12 years - quit to be a SAHM as could not get flexible hours.

Husband is Mechanical Engineer for a Petrochemicals Company for 16 years, served apprenticeship from leaving school.

We would qualify to emigrate, but undecided whether to go for PR or Temp work permit.


Regards

Andrea

Re: Thinking of moving to Canada
 

Hi andrea

Welcome back, you will need to look into the mech/eng side of it.
Some trade needs a license to work, others need to be regisitered.

Best way round is to use google.ca for the job side and also check out the job search.
On wiki there is a section on job searching and ofcourse changing your cv to a resume for the canadian job market.

Work Permit is quicker, skilled worker with PR currently 5yrs and rising every second (well seems like every second :rofl:)

We are a friendly bunch on here honest, The best way to check an area out is to take a recci there, lots of people move to different area of canada, what someone loves isnt anothers love :thumbsup:

There is a search button at the top, have a look at what others have said on the area, hope that helps
