Re: Questions around car ownership Mississauga, Ontario

Just to hijack the thread a bit. I see on a lot of sites that there is a thing called "Car Proof" report. Is this just like a HP check in the UK or is it a mechanical check also?

Thanks

If i go with 89 cents a liter that works out at 0.48p per liter in the UK. At the moment for a liter of diesel...

Re: Advice on social work in Canada

My partner has a BA Hons Degree in Social Work with 4-5 yrs experience. How would this help her chances of a job in Canada? Probably within the Ontario area.
