I searching for information and some advices about life in Canada

Hello Melina,

Yes, Canadians are very warm and friendly toward South American visitors. Much more so than toward other nationalities (sad to say that there is a bit of discrimination to some foreign nationalities nowadays). You'll have no problems making friends and fitting in wherever you decide to settle.

Depending on where you settle finding a job can be difficult. Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver have been the top 3 destinations for newcomers to Canada for decades and they are saturated. Finding work in those cities is going to be a nightmare since you'll be competing for every vacancy not only with all the other newcomers to the country, but also all the unemployed local residents. I would really recommend that you think seriously about Alberta (Calgary or Edmonton) where there is better economic growth and there are lots of jobs available in every area of work, not just for skilled workers and professionals.

The cost of living in Canada is very high, but then too so are the wages. Minimum wage in Canada is $10.25 per hour and most jobs pay more than that. Calgary and Edmonton are also going to be less expensive in terms of cost of living than the other three cities I've mentioned.

For information and to apply for a visa visit the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website, fill out the online information and see if you qualify for a visa.

There are two job search sites that are pretty good and you may want to try them out:

www.monster.ca               and            www.workopolis.com

Just type in the name of the city/province and see what interests you.
