Chef relocating in Canada by Chefj

Hello, I’m looking to get information on relocating. I’m a chef with over 15 years experience, I’ve been told by many immigration firms that I don’t qualify for any programs, so how does one apply for a temporary work permit? ...

Don't give up just yet. The most "foodie" and restaurant-loving part of Canada is Quebec, specifically Montreal and Quebec City. And the https://www.ithq.qc.ca/ is now providing the largest number of individuals with cooking skills ... Read More

Is Quebec one of the safest cities in the world? by Anne-Lise Mty

Hey everyone! I am Anne-Lise from the Expat.com editorial team! :) Hope your week is going swimmingly! A recent survey has ranked Quebec the third safest city in the world. We thought it might be an interesting thing to keep in mind for ...

Alec Inglis

Correct. Sadly, the Americas, outside of Eastern Canada, are not particulary safe by world standards and it is good that this characteristic of Eastern Canada is pointed out. Its urban violence rate ranks with the best Asian or European cities. We ... Read More

Sense of humour in Canada by Bhavna

Hello everyone, Should we set out to explore Canadian’s culture through its sense of humour? Indeed, if one is planning to settle in the country, it is best to understand the cultural codes governing humour in order to avoid any faux-pas. What ...

Alec Inglis

Wow! Considering Canada has the opposite reputation that you ascribe to it, have you considered that that YOU and your family are the problem. There are treatments for hostility management. There is a LOT of that going around in the UK and USA. I am ... Read More

Forgive oneaway. A comment that ugly cannot come from most Canadians. That level of hate is normally American sourced, sometimes British. It is an anglophone disease. :| Canadian comedy is famous and persuasive. Here is a review. ... Read More

All you need to know about firearms in Ecuador by 3lckr

You CANNOT legally bring your weapons to Ecuador. Why did I put legally? I wouldn't know any illegal way to do it... Anyway, firearm imports are closed indefinitely by our "beloved" Correa, and import of any other type of weaponry is complicated and ...

Alec Inglis

Added police in some places have had an effect. But I was there when mild B&Es turned to murders. Most of the Americans in the Vilacabamba area are packing as are those on the Coast (and everywhere Americans go). The locals know now to carry ... Read More

BigBrad, Respectfully, I am not wanting to own a gun in Ecuador. I just want to know what most people do for home protection. We will have an alarm system soon, but I also know that the police do not come because the system does not tie to the ... Read More

User, Your understanding is solid. The silly quote you point to is, as you say, not found in fact. Everywhere in the world where guns are carefully restricted and monitored, there is far less unnecessary death....so much so in the USA that the extra ... Read More

Hello everybody, If you exported your car to Ecuador, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they? What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of ...

"All the best to you though. I will just say be careful,." Thank you for that. I deeply sympathize with what you went through and it is no excuse that this happens in other countries. It is not evil, merely a country that has been forced ... Read More
