Default western canada

thanks for the info, still undecided i suppose like a lot of other people on the forum. I suppose I will go to toronto first, then head west.I know toronto is not as bad as london yet so looks like i will be spending xmas in toronto hopefully a old fashion xmas with lots of snow.then maybe head out to the other side. I was reading on a blog that you can get apply for a work permit in buffalo. That is counted as outside canada. Has anyone done this or has anyone had there work permit to bc or alberta arrive withing 10 days according to new system they have

I wish we'd done that.

Defo think its a good place to start. Housing isnt as bad a Vancouver's mental real estate prices. Its also got a lot more jobs than the other cities. Shame about their hockey team though.

Bring a coat.

More jobs perhaps, but more total newcommers chasing them too.

Im beyond the novelty of white Xmases now, I wont be sad if it doesnt snow till February

Back in the day my WPs(and PR) were got in Buffallo, but I dont think its significantly faster any longer. More convenient if you have to go in person though.

The leafs are a shower, Ottawa is where its at.

There are rumors to that effect, but unfortunately they're unsubstantiated.

Similar situation here in Calgary they tell us we have a team but they're yet to show up this season.

You can walk if you like I'm not a Flames fan.

I support the junior team the Calgary Hitmen who currently are in a similar situation to their big brother team the Flames.
