Hi all,

I don't mean to discriminate. But if you're a fellow Malaysian or even an Singaporean or Indonesian living in Nova Scotia, do give me a shout out. It would be nice to keep connected.

My name's Philip and my wife and I have been living in Halifax, NS for slightly over 5 years now. We are both working in the IT industry here.

Bangmodes,

Bisa tanya-tanya soal pasal immigrasi. But private message me ok. I'll respond there and will try to answer whenever I can.

p.s. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Cheers,
Philip

Bang Modes, with your skills in Geology, you are better off getting jobs in Alberta or Saskatchewan. These two provinces are resource rich and would definitely need folks with your skill sets. Unfortunately, though Nova Scotia is a beautiful and peaceful province especially to raise a family, the reality is you want to be able to support them - I'm afraid to say that there will not be many jobs for people in your field. Take for example when I find for the jobs through "jobbank" portal (Canadian federal gov's job site), there are no geologist jobs available in Nova Scotia itself, but there's 7 in Calgary (at the time I searched), http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/report-eng.do? … tion=final
1 in Fort Mac
http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/report-eng.do? … tion=final
2 in Edmonton,

1 in Saskatoon

Heck, there's even 1 in Whitehorse, YK

@philipyeo Hi Philip, I am a Singapore citizen who is working in Halifax. I relocated to Halifax in Nov 2021, so it has been about a year now. Hope to know more people in Halifax/Nova Scotia.
