Re: partly moved to vancouver

Stop the moaning. Did you do any homework before all this? Everyone and his dog knows the Vancouver housing market and wages are out of whack. Get off your arse and into the real world.

Re: Anyone in Edmonton want to play footy?

Re: Do you have to be a Qualified Accountant to gain a PR visa?

That's true. My other half is CIMA qualified and she landed a job easy. In fact, she's had lots of calls, so it really does ring true.
