Hello my name is Mumtaz
       I will be initiating our immigration process next month. I live in Oman but am from Pakistan. I will appreciate any guidance which can be provided in this regard. I am basically a businessman and my wife is a mechanical engineer. I am thinking of acquiring one of the franchises (maybe) once we get there; although, I am currently unfamiliar with the process, I need to look into bank financing facilities also; etc. etc.

Regards to all

Hello everyone, I am Italian. My husband and me want to immigrate to Canada with our baby., we will go there to look for a job as soon as possible.  I would like to ask to who is living now in Vancouver, is the IELTS very requested from companies or there can be chances to find a job even without it? I have a  high level of English, just no certificate.  Thanks in advance for your help!!

@BeaGio, IELTS is required if intend to apply for PR status

Greetings!!!

First of all a big thanks to all of you from bottom of my heart.
Really a nice blog, 70% of my quarries has been cleared through this blog only.

Basically I am trying to enter Toronto with a job (temporary Work permit for 2 years via LMIA) then onward I shall apply for PR as getting a PR for Canada is very difficult from my home country. The problem arises to clear IELTS exam.

I am a B.tech Engineer and having 5 years of experience and spouse completed post graduation and having a year of experience.

A consultancy in my hometown is offering me and spouse supervisory (Shop management supervisor) jobs in a shopping mall in GTA.
Salary for me will be - 2900 Ca$ (After tax) + 300 Ca$ for Accommodation
Spouse salary will be - 2600 Ca$(After tax) + 300 Ca$ for Accommodation

We are 3 members (Me,Spouse and son- 4 years)
So my quarries are:
1) Is 6100 Ca$ a good salary to live in Toronto suburbs. (Includes everything)
2) Looking at health and son's education will be bear by me as I am not a PR holder can I able to save a minimum 1500 Ca$ per month.
(We rarely go for outing and avoid clubbing and other stuffs. Basically we leave a complete middle class life)
3) Apart from above my major concern is, We will enter Canada in temporary ''UNSKILLED WORK PERMIT'' for 2 years. Shall we eligible to convert it to "SKILLED WORK PERMIT'' if i got a chance to work professionally with some other employers.
4) Will we be eligible for PR after 2 years if we worked in Unskilled Work permit.
5) Is IELTS is required after 2 years for PR. (Got some info in internet that doing a french course can opt out the option for IELTS)
6) Rather than the said job Can I work other part time jobs in the leisure time.
7) Within 20 to 25 kms from GTA area can i find a 1 bedroom flat or basement within the cost of 700 to 800 Ca$
8)What is cost of education for kids.

These quarries are very important to me as I unable to find the proper answers. Please help us out.

Thanks in advance.

Amit

Hi all

I am a 30 yr old female speech therapist in South Africa, looking to immigrate to Canada.

In South Africa,  speech pathologists are fully qualified after completing a 4yr Bachelor's degree including 400 practical hours.
In Canada & USA, the speech pathology program is only offered at a masters level, but the curriculum is the same as what South Africans cover at a bachelor's level.

I was wondering if there are any allied health professionals on this forum that have moved from south africa to Canada and we're able to practice without a masters. Is our bachelor's degree recognised as sufficient to practice?
