Hello,
My name is Ana im currently living in the Dominican Republic with my husband and my son, my mother also wishes to make the move with us , she has been there before actually quite recently on a bussiness trip. one of our main difficulties is that my husband was born in quebec , but during his childhood his mother lost his birth certificate and he hasent been able to get a passport. i was wondering if there was any way that i could get in touch with the hospital where he was born and see if they still have the records??

One of the most challenging thing that any immigrant finds is getting a job before coming to Canada.Although, it is one of the key element for succeeding in starting a new life-besides getting more points in the skilled worker category, it also help you to integrate faster to the Canadian Society and make your transition easier.

Online jobs boads are a good source of employment opportunities. But remember that it will no be easy, since you are abroad and the employer still will prefer someone with canadian experience and good comunication skills in one of the official languages: English or French. A good advice will be to prepare a good resume selling your skills and also getting a skype account,so the employer can contact you over the internet and have an interview without paying for long distance phone calls.

My personal recommendation is to do a complete and extensive research of the labor market. This means to check the potential demand of your profession or occupation in every province in Canada that you are considering in your immigration goals. Also the cost of living (food, transportation, housing, utilities, schools, etc.); the salary range,and settlement services available.

Some occupation will require a license and a certification. You need to understand the requirements and try to work your way to obtain it. Meanwhile, once in Canada,you might see yourself doing jobs under your qualifications during your transition period in Canada.

You also must start your process of accreditation with WES service, so the potential employers can verify the equivalence of your credentials in comparison with the Canadian educational system.

In other words, you must be prepared and have a plan to achieve your dreams. I highly suggest you to visit the following web site and post your resume:

Thank you for your attention,

Hello everybody .
It seems on your comments that everyone pleased to be in Toronto ,how nice . Also this photo of Toronto looks very nice .I must see that city

Toni,

I would recommend going to restaurants for the winterlicious festival if it is still going on. Also try going ice skating at Nathan Phillips Square or Mel Lastman square (depending on where you live in the city). Both locations have coffee shops nearby for a nice hot chocolate when you're done skating.

That's a good question Toni! There is still plenty to do in Toronto even when the weather is colder. One nice activity for this time of year is the Cavalcade of Lights festival which has expanded this year to a number of locations throughout the city. You can find more information about it at this website: http://www.toronto.ca/spe cial_events/cavalcade_lig hts/events.htm

What I liked about Toronto is the diversity. I just recently moved here (May). Summer was great - now that it's winter - any suggestions on what to do - events? As for Kaota, $1500 is ok for a month - provided your not doing any major shopping :)

It is pretty easy to live in Toronto for 1500 a month. If you are visiting, then it will depend what kind of sights you want to visit and just like Loonie said, whether you have a place to stay for free and if you have a kitchen to cook your own meals.

To your question Kaota, it would depend on the cost of your accommodation (and whether you had access to kitchen facilities to cook your own meals).

Hi Loonie,
Thanks for your generous invitatin to join your toronto group, I heared many interesting stories about Toronto.Waiting for more valuable informations about it.

Thanx,just joined the group.Is it realistic to budget 1500 dollars for duration of 1 month?visiting Toronto?My favorite thing in Toronto is the scholars. in

What's your favourite thing about Toronto? Mine is the multicultural feel of the city. You can find festivals, events, music and of course food from cultures from all over the world!
