Re: Tax help:Became PR in 2013

Re: Engineering Salaries - Montreal

Does sound about right, although it depends on the role. I work with a stack of electronic and software engineers; there seems to be a constant supply via McGill.

Couple of things to note, that 62...

Re: Waiting... Waiting... Waiting... How to stay Sane!!

Re: Mixed feeling about Quebec

I concur mightily. I slip into a South London accent that horrifies my French tutor but I have never, in nearly a year of riding the bus to work each week, had a bad exchange. Au contraire (get me!)...

Re: Mixed feeling about Quebec

Nice little spot with some stunning views, but very small, tricky to get and way off West. If your OH is in Aero he will likely be using the 40 and going to the Westside near the airport, so that...

Re: Mixed feeling about Quebec

We moved about the same time as you. Dull, cold, dull, dull weather. Did i mention how dull it was? The bright spark for us was that even in a very French part of the Plateau our bad French was taken...

Re: Which Province and Why?

Originally we aimed for Vancouver, a cracking place, but started to tire of the options outside; we enjoyed the NW US, Washington State and the Islands. But much prefer Vermont, NH and the Maine...

Re: YOUR economic outlook?

Manitobain is on to something there; thinking of yourself as a solution provider and problem solver, on a p/t basis if needed, rather than a f/t someone to hire. That moves the question from 'do i...

Re: Starting the journey

Can vouch for the Michel Thomas approach big time; go for the complete set beginner through to advanced - start on a Friday and you will be making coherent French sentences by Sunday lunchtime....

Re: Canadian Beer (Not the Molson kind...)

Atlantic Xpat - do share where in Montreal that place was. We are blessed with a stack of good bars and amber ales, but i am missing a pint of something flat, fragrant and cool. Come to think of it a...

Re: IT/Cisco/Network Engineer work opportunities in Canada?

Hey Ayan, I am the head of education inside an IT firm, not doing router or infrastructure work but ensuring those folks get educated. My view - again, similar to others - is that competition is...

Re: Waitrose and John Lewis Equivalent in Montreal?

We finally settled a month ago, and only miss Waitrose for their pretty, helpful folk plus cakes and green apron'd vibe. Or at least I did. Living in a totally French part of town you are blessed by...
