Moving
to a country like Canada is a change that will surely
bring to you new opportunities. At
this stage, families experience a special happiness and
expectation situation together with some uncertainty
feelings regarding their future. This
step will be the most important in the lives of the
members of the whole family.
It
is important to take into account that the correct
development of the future events could mostly depend on
the information, knowledge and good judgment to take
decisions, specially in the firsts weeks in Canada.
In
these chapters you will find much information which will
be of great help for the immigrant during his first days
in Canada, and shall guide him in the actions that shall
face. Although
this information is based upon the experience of the
author and other immigrants arrived at Toronto, Ontario,
the process of arriving, establishing and starting basic
activities is similar in other cities and provinces of
Canada. Many
details have to be taken care at the moment of preparing
the luggage.
During
the first days in Ontario, the most important matter is
to get a home for your family. Take
into account that to get what you need, employment
included, shall be a question of having appropriate
information, of organization, preparation, and most
important of all, of time.
Know
which are the activities that a family has to normally
do in their first days in Canada, and how/where to go
for help. On
the other hand, with the Permanent Resident status in
Canada, you and your family have the right to receive
several benefits that the government provides in order
to help and protect you. There are several federal,
provincial and local programs to help families,
especially children. Besides primary and secondary
education totally free, your family has the right of
receiving economic help and assistance. Know which are
those benefits, how and where requesting them for your
family in Toronto and Ontario Province.
We
have the experience of seeing how the money taken by
immigrants, product of several years of work and save,
it was quickly expended in a few months in Toronto at an
amazing and worrying speed. The
main reason is the lack of knowledge of the prices and
of a guidance as consumers of where or what are the most
economic places. Besides,
while you get a job and start earning Canadian money,
prices of the products considered at our countries
exchange rates, are in general, several times the prices
we use to know, and this cause us a constant state of
anxiety.
For
this reason, we have made studies and analysis to know
which are the cheapest and more expensive supermarkets
in Toronto and Ontario. With
this information, the consumer may know the prices
variation within different supermarket chains in the
city and will be able to save money.
Also
know which are the basic expenses of an immigrant family
(adults and children) in Toronto, assuming that they
shall begin living in a two bedroom rented
apartment. Knowing
real expenses, you may forecast your resources during
the first six months and you may know how much you must
earn to support you and your family economically.
 |
As immigrants we know the value of the money and how
hard it is to struggle to get it in our countries. For that
reason we have included many RECOMMENDATIONS on looking after
your money, saving and buying or expending money in articles
and services you need (airplane tickets, food, furniture,
insurance, rent etc) in the most economic possible way. You
may save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in your process
of traveling and establishing in Canada, over the coming
years.
IMPORTANT
!!
Did you know that if you and your family get a Resident
Visa for Canada, there is a way of saving between 30 and 50 %
in air tickets, over the commercial value of the same, and no
matter the company or season of the
year?
This valuable information may save you between u$s 600
to u$s 1200 in your travel to Canada, just in your airplane
tickets, depending on the number of members of your family.
(See Chapter 10)
NOTE: This is a clear example of how valuable can
result the key information in the immigration process
that you will find in our book .

To
find a good job in Canada shall be the basis of you’re and
your family welfare your level of life shall depend, to a
great extent, on the quality of the job and salary you find.
On the other hand, a good job, in accordance with your
personal expectations, experience and education shall be the
key of your feeling of success or failure in your new life,
both for you and your family.
A ny
job, with low salary, doing something different of your
experience, below your capacities and with long working
journeys to get the minimum money to cover your basic expenses
could be the start of an unsatisfaction and failure
feeling.
Thus,
what is really important for you and your family is to
prepare, search and get a GOOD JOB. And the most effective way
of reaching this objective is to come prepared, knowing before
hand the reality of the labor market and the limitations and
bringing an action PLAN to follow up each step in the best
possible way.
There
are a lot of people already in Canada looking for a
job. The
majority of them are immigrants from all the regions in the
word with a high level of English and working experience of
all kinds. Others
are many persons born in Canada, with education and experience
and with no problem at all with the language.
When
you are newcomer, it is logic to feel like the last in the
line. The
good news are that you may also get education and learn the
techniques for job searching. The
key for the immigrant is learn these techniques and be
competitive not only in its profession and occupation but also
in the techniques to search job, including aspects as resume
preparation, cover letter, interview practice, hidden market
search, etc.
In
these chapters you will find the basic information needed (or
where to find it) so you may focus in the right direction from
the beginning of your job search. Among
the valuable information in these chapters, there are the
internet addresses of 60 companies very important in Canada
(to whom you may send your resume), more than 40 Employment or
Recruitment Organizations (many of them have open positions),
10 websites very important to search job in Ontario, Average
Salary Tables for more than 50 professions and occupations in
Ontario, addresses of the organisms to certify university
degrees, professionals and technical associations,
etc.
When
you search for a job in Canada as a newcomer, the orientation
during the first weeks is crucial. A wrong initial direction
may be the start of a long frustration. We know the right way
for Skilled Workers

Having a driving license in Canada is a privilege that
allows the license to drive a vehicle in any part of the
country. You must carry your license to drive daily. In
Canada, ONLY when you have approved driving road test and get
license G-2 or G, you will be able to drive alone in your
car
The Driver’s License is a very important identification
document in Canada and which is most commonly used as ID to
prove your identity. You have to update any change in the
information, for example if you change your address. It is
highly recommendable to obtain these documents, even if you
are not thinking of buying a car or to drive one in short
time.
To certify this knowledge, you must
approve some exams in order to be authorized to drive a car on
Canadian roads.
In the driving exam you will be evaluated for
your capacity of applying driving and safety rules in the
road.

#26 -
Main Websites & Links about
Canada
(Bibliography)
To give
you an accurate idea of the reality to help you TAKING A
DECISION, we made a critical and deep analysis of the
different aspects of the life in Canada.
Although it is true that
Canada offers a lot of positive alternatives to the
Professionals and skilled workers, there are other aspects,
(not so positive), that you MUST KNOW before coming or taking
a final decision.
You
will find many internet sites with descriptions of the natural
beauty of Canada, its richness, its standard of life, its
economy, its political stability, etc. Canadian government
websites and of many other organizations show lots of good and
positive things about the country.
BUT THEY ONLY SHOW THE POSITIVE
THINGS.
What
about the unpleasant things that for sure are waiting for you in Canada?
You
will hardly find objective information, showing also the bad
and ugly things that immigrants have to face when they arrive
to this country.
Based
on our premise of helping the future immigrants, we consider
our duty to show not only "the good", but also what we
consider ugly and bad from an immigrant point of view in this
country.
Last,
you will find a list of “The 21 more frequent mistakes”
made by immigrants to Canada, with the purpose of preventing
the reader so as not make them by ignorance or lack of
prevention.
Moving
with your family from your country to Canada may be one of the
most important decisions in your life. That
is why the decision has to be evaluated very carefully, taking
into account the largest possible quantity of information and
not false assumptions or wrong stereotypes.
As
a potential immigrant, you must have the best possible
information about the way that you will run. And the
best way of preparing yourself is learning from the experience
and real knowledge of other immigrants who have succeeded
before!!
Canada is a land of
opportunities where you and your family can live and work, in
a safe and modern environment. However, the fact of having
been admitted to live in this country doesn't necessarily mean
that a job is waiting for you. You must be
prepared with
your technical abilities, knowledge and key information to get
a good job. It is just reasonable to think that you will be
able to work in the field on which you have knowledge and
experience. But you may also face the possibility to go
through difficult long process to get a suitable
job.
If you
want to be successful in your immigration project to Canada
and get a better future for your family, YOU MUST know
the challenges, difficulties and opportunities you will find
on your way, and should mainly have an organised and specific
plan of activities TO DEVELOP, focused on the
achievement of your goal, and perform every necessary
activity
If you choose the uncertain path of coming without a
plan based in real information and experiences, get
ready for the worst !!
One of the greatest satisfactions that I have during my
last 6 years living in Canada is the opportunity I had of
helping many people with my advice and experience. My mission
is helping other families with the application proceedings to
get their Permanent Resident Visas without further problems,
and then helping in their smooth "landing" in Canada. I
have also helped many people with my information, showing them
the best available way to Canada, especially in the not very
easy task of getting a job related with each ones interests
and education. It is not easy in any part of the world
to get a technical or professional job, neither in Canada. But
you must know that there is a process that you have to follow
in order to be effective in your search, in the presentation
of your resume, as well as to have successful interviews.
Of course, to get an acceptable or good job depends on
the capacities and preparation of each person, and of other
external factors that I will not mention right now. With a
good guide and much dedication, many professionals and
workers from your country get a good job in less 6 months. You
can get a not very qualified job in a week or less, but an
immigrant can stay years in that position, if he doesn’t train
himself or learn how to get out from that
situation.
Many people with your education and desire to work may
see their illusions of living in Canada frustrated, simply for
the fear of not having a relative or friend in this country to
help and guide them at their arriving to the country.
In our book,
“CANADA – IMMIGRATION & SETTLEMENT-
GUIDE FOR SKILLED
WORKERS, you will find lots of information to help you in this
process. Besides, we have included in several chapters,
addresses and contacts of organizations or persons devoted to
help immigrants to successfully establishing in Canada.
I guess what your are thinking right now…..if he wants
to help people as he has been doing until now, why doesn’t he
publish the
complete version
of this book FREE in INTERNET,
helping thousands of persons no only to easily obtain their
Permanent Resident Visa, but also to establish and guide them
to save money and find job in Canada?
Well, I have two important reasons for not publishing
this book for free:
1.
Nobody wants to see thousands of persons fighting each
week at the front of the Canadian embassy building in their
country, asking for the visa to live in Canada.
If everybody knows the immigration
process and keys to successfully establish and live in Canada,
thousands, even millions of engineers, professional and
technicians from all over the world would try to apply for the
visa to live here. The Canadian Immigration System is prepared for a
total of 250.000 immigrants per year during the next 5 years,
from all over the world.
2.
The second reason for not publishing our book FREELY is
that I am a traditional and old fashion man, as my father was.
And I believe that if you have a valuable product or service
(knowledge and
information in this case), for
which you have worked hard, it is reasonable to protect its
value.
I know by experience that, once you give something for
FREE, it loose its value. I have been working hard several years to write this
book with the purpose of rendering a service to people who
know its value and appreciate its contents. And I am sure that
thousands of immigrant’s families to Canada will be able to
avoid unpleasant and expensive mistakes, and they will have a
best future knowing these keys.
