Hi Zhu,

Thanks for starting this blog…I have applied for Canadian immigration and waiting for the process to be completed. I wonder if you could help me out on a few points.

1. How expensive is personal internet connections in Canada (i.e. unlimited upload and download connectivity).
2. What is the minimum cost of a personal computer/laptop in Canadian dollars.
3. How much does one need to earn monthly to live a decent life in Canada…I hope Canada is not too expensive.

Looking forward to your reply…thanks in advance.

@Seraphine – You’re absolutely right! And I think this attitude comes with experience… it took me a lot of interview before I was truly comfortable.

@Annie – Anytime, anytime… any news BTW for the big work trip across the Ocean? One of my student is Indian right now, she is trying to teach me Bengali… without much luck

@barbara – Immigrating is a huge decision… and I guess you already made the move once, so it’s good! I really hope it can help. I didn’t have much info when I arrived here and I missed it.

@shionge – I don’t know actually, I had always assumed that Singapore had a pretty high standard of living! It is hard… even harder for refugees.

@Khengsiong – Not that much actually, if you’re legal, just a copy of your PR card is enough. Canada has a lot of immigrants, employers are used to us!

@Gail at Large – I used agencies for quite a while myself and it helped me a lot of get experience.

Very comprehensive, Zhu! I’ve had incredibly good results using agencies. All my employment in the last 10 years has been through headhunters, although I did try other avenues such as job websites.

This is so interesting but the standard of living in Canada is pretty high and for people like us (Asian) we might be at a disadvantage ya.

Still, I find this to be a very useful post for people seeking employment in Canada, thankyou Zhu

Salut Zhu,
This so great that you run these helpful articles. I hope that in a few years time, someone will write you and tell you that it really made a difference.
No better advice than the one already lived by someone.
My hubby said that he would readily move to Montreal and he doesn’t care if there is that Winter ( I do !). But, we are not in our 20’s anymore and I think that her’s just doing wishful thinking.

You take care.
