Re: IEC 2013

Does the request for payment come by email or in "my messages"?

Re: International Experience Canada

I'm in the same position and just employed a lawyer to sort it out. If you are in a skilled profession (class O or Class A) you can get a temp work permit. For some professions you need a Labor...

Re: International Experience Canada

If you're intending to stay you should file a tax return because they will look for it if you apply for PR by the CEC route. It proves you've been at work for a year. I was told that by an...

Re: International Experience Canada

Finally gave up on waiting for the IEC to open and went to see an immigration lawyer this morning. Getting a temporary work permit instead. Too much stress seeing the clock ticking down to when my...

Re: International Experience Canada

There are so many films and TV shows filmed in Toronto that you would probably get a job in that industry if you wanted to. Even if it was admin for one of the studios.

Re: International Experience Canada

I sent out over 60 applications while still in the UK for jobs as an architect over here. I didn't start getting replies until I changed my CV to say that "I have a work permit", "I can be there...

Re: International Experience Canada

It's unfurnished but right in the downtown core. My main issue with being able to afford somewhere in Vancouver was that the pay scale was far less so my money wouldn't have gone as far.

Re: International Experience Canada

I think they mainly deal with rental buildings where they are the sole landlord for all the units. Some of these can be truly horrific. They are cheap though.

Re: International Experience Canada

If you're after a condo your best bet is to use a Realtor. They don't charge the tenant anything and they sort out all the contracts and everything. If you're not used to it the Canadian renting...

Re: International Experience Canada

Toronto is like a little New York. Although today it is more like a little North Pole.

Re: International Experience Canada

That would be great. Some of the pages say you can be 35 but others don't. Either way the sooner it opens the happier i'll be. I don't want to leave.
