Hi all,

Newbie on the Canada forum? Don’t know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Canada if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

Hello,

My name is Claire. I'm 23 and currently studying in a M.A research (Politics) in Paris, I'm originally from Lille in the North of France. I plan to go live wiht my fiancé who is a Canadian pr in 2;5 years. We wish to live in Edmonton.
I registered on this forum to start already looking for information.

Why don't you people get married and you can then apply as spouse and that will become much more easier for you . Otherwise you can apply for work permit or student visa. Please go through Canadian immigration website http://canada.ca/en/index.html and you can easily figure out that what suits you best. :)

Actually the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website is:

Hi all , Im Ireshnan, currently working as an Instrument Mechanician in Richards Bay, Kwa Zulu Natal. Also looking
to move to Canada,focussing on Alberta, Edmonton. Im also always available to share whatever information I uncover.

Hi iam Sandra a liberian but presently living in Nigeria ,studing in one of the university of Nigeria. My dreams are to complete my study in Canada I wish this forum can help me achieve my goal.

Faruque Khan

Hi, if you completed some study then think higher study in abroad. Most of country embassy/consular section they give prior running student and means who just finished his/her Secondary School certificate/ Bachelor degree with IELTS and sufficient money. You could contact nearest Canadian Embassy/Consular section.

Hey,

I don't think anyone really likes talking about themselves, but here we go anyways.

I came across this site while looking or ways to find people who are South African. 

I was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and now live in Toronto, Canada with my parents and siblings.

I am shy so I don't really want to say anything else.

Thank you for reading,

Bye & God Bless
