Re: PR arrived

I'm still with the same company and I gotta say I'm happy enough. Don't get me wrong it's not some super company cause people come and go all the time. It just suits me.

Re: Change in TFWP update

I know that I'm not affected (having PR already) and like yourself I'm also still working for the same company that brought me to Canada. I suppose I'm just saying that long haul driving jobs can...

Re: Change in TFWP update

Hi Milanuk, I just thought I'd balance this out if I can. I think your looking at the wages for truck drivers from a personal point of view, rather than from the industry as a whole. I earn half the...

Re: IELTS English entrance exam

I agree with this. Fortunately for me I didn't need to do it in the end, as I got here just before the deadline. I remember practising for it though, and thinking, some of these questions are just...

Re: Canada here I COME!!!!!

Congratulations Slippy on the job. Regarding GPS, I just use Google maps on my phone and it works a treat. Although like Neil said, you can't follow it blindly.

Re: Lurker needing help

Just to give a heads up to the op. If you intend to go for pr via pnp route, having family in a different province to the one you apply could hinder you.
