We came with the grand total of $26,000; far, far less than the VAST majority of expats who move to Canada and instantly snap up executive homes and brand-new cars.



So you are here mortgage to the hilt.....

Oh, and my girlfriend has secured a good job within 4 weeks of getting here, in a city where it is 'very hard to get a decent job'. No, it isn't. It is hard for idiots who don't do their research or develop a network before they leave.

I understand. It is Fredericton by the way.

A fair portion of the jobs are at the Goverment or University making it typically more difficult to find private sector work.

Oh well, better to divide opinion than not give one at all.
nobody hides behind computer screens, I wonder what kind of people like arrogant stuck up young pups like yourself. you should not knock that fact some people can not spell. its a wonder your girlfriend puts up with you one thing you were not taught was manners not to pick in the less fortunate. watch it dont come to bite you on the arse.

How can you possibly judge character from a series of posts on a forum?

I am passing judgement on the standard of English, not moral fibre.

Completing any form of postgraduate work whilst working full time is exceptionally hard work.

It is a struggle for me and I am only doing Research duties and marking on behalf of the department.
