:)  Thank you very much for your warm welcome and  I m very glad to introduce myself in this forum.
I am Anuradha from India, trying hardly to move to Canada with family. In particular, seeking pre- med admission to my daughter.I am working as a teacher, so hardly trying for a teaching job in Toronto, or from any place. without a job offer letter from a Canadian employer, my immigration process is impossible. at the same time, getting a teaching job in Canada from India is also seems impossible. 
      My destination is Canada. If anyone here suggest me the the way to get into Canada, it ll be very helpful to me. Thanks a lot and i m looking forward your valuable suggestions and guidance.

Hello Everyone,

Hope all of are in good health. My name is Ravin and from Malaysia. Looking forward to make a move to Canada soon and collecting details and hoping this lovely community could advise and give tips on making my move easier.

I should have moved to Canada in 1992 together with my 2 Singaporean friends but it did not happen and now I have lost touch with them and really hoping to find them.

Warm regards,

Ravin

Hello,

My name is Maria I am looking to
Emigrate to Canada from the uk with my partner, we are both looking at the working holiday visa?

My brother is currently studying in Canada who has advised me that there is a shortage of people to work and Canada is somewhat laxing the admissions to invite people into the country?

What is the best option to apply and what is the time frame?

Many thanks

Maria

Hi there everyone!

I'm Melissa, from Finland, and I'll be living in Canada for a year before moving to Ireland. So far I've stayed in Québec for 4 months, and I'm really loving it here. It's a great place to practice French. :) I work as an analyst in a videogame company.

Immigrating to Canada was a huge and painful process. I had to fill 8 forms, provide 12 attachments and wait, wait, wait. They really haven't made it easy, but it's definitely worth it. Hopefully all of you will eventually get to enjoy Canada, good luck with your immigration process!

Hi there every one =)

Thank you for making me feel welcome in here !

My name is Ghazoua and  I am looking to emigrate to Canada from Tunisia .

What is the best option to apply, papers to run..and what is the time frame?

Thank you in advence =)

Best regards.

Hi, and welcome!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first step would be to apply for a temporary recidence/work permit. In my case the time frame for that was roughly 5 months, but I guess it can be even longer, since normally your're supposed to have an employer waiting for you in Canada. Later on it's possible to apply for a permanent recidence, my German flatmate is in that process right now, and she told me it'll take up to 1,5 years during which she's not allowed to study in Canada.

Thenk you a lot dear Molluka for your answer !

I will go for my shot and let you know what happens with me =)

Best regards .

just to let you all know, I and my family are Canadian and living in Winnipeg.  We are considering moving to warmer climes as we are fed up with winter.
At this time we are doing preliminary research on places like Belize, Corozal District, Aruba and Mexico, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Tulum.
It seems to be very difficult to get answers on anything about these places from people who actually have moved there.
I would like to correspond with Canadians who have moved to Belize, Aruba and Mexico to discuss topics such as purchasing property, taxation and hidden costs.

My Name is Karl J. Larson and can be e-mailed at   [email protected]   any and all responses would be greatly appreciated

All the best

Hello Everyone!

I am from Singapore currently in Calgary, Canada for a one year work and travel visa. I really love Canada because it has space and a wider opportunity for many things! I do miss speaking singlish and Singaporean food! So any Singaporeans out there who is feeling the same way, contact me! We can organize something:) Looking into possibly getting a permanent residence here.

Also completed First Aid Level 2 and Arabic Level 2 (Arabic Level 2 completed through National Department of Foreign Affairs). Enjoy your day and thank you for reading!!!

Hi All,

And thank you very much for the warm welcome from the somewhat overcast shores of Cape Town, South Africa.

I am a 28year old single "professional", living and working in Cape Town.
My occupation by trade is Marketing and Branding Practitioner for the last 5years..
However in my current organisation I have experience in Project Management, Training, Coaching and Team Leadership.

As most South Africans know, you need to be a Jack of all trades in most SME companies.

I am however very eager to move abroad and improve my current competencies.

I am very interested in Canada for its working environment and social acceptance.

I would serious need some information as to next steps to seeing this dream come to life.

If anyone can afford me the opportunity to simply lead me in the correct direction, would be much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Eloise
