  2. What is the minimum and the average salary in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada? I will say judging by the ridiculous number of ‘super homes’ going up in rural areas there are a bunch of ‘1%’ skewing the average. A lot of money was made in the Rim heyday and other tech stories. Income and salary aren’t really the same and statscan I think just gives income. Since you seem to be branching out further afield you may as well look into Kingston too. I think it’s a winner. Removed from the overcrowding of Toronto region. Great access to lakes big and small, forest and wilderness nearby and even decent skiing within a couple of hours. Major university for steady economy, lively music scene especially for a smaller centre. Lots of beach access. Close enough to Montreal or Toronto. I would imagine cost of living is reasonable and below many or most of your other choices. Likely on par with London or maybe a bit higher.
  3. Burlington 2. The cost of living in Burlington is expensive, and getting more expensive all the time. House prices are increasing rapidly so that you may be looking at over $600,000 for just a townhouse. I am not familiar with condo prices offhand, but considering the cheapest non-condo you can buy is in the $600’s, it is not encouraging. This is still cheaper than Toronto but I do not see how this is affordable for the average person. I have not looked into rental prices recently so I have no information to offer there. The area is safe, and in fact I believe the area has been ranked “safest place in Canada” a few times recently. Crimes in the newspaper will usually be along the lines of a couple of thefts per week by someone from Hamilton (sorry other people who live in Hamilton, but statistically that is usually who it is). In my Southeast neighborhood in particular I have never had something stolen or vandalized from my property although a couple years ago someone was going around spraypainting mailboxes. I have never felt unsafe in my neighborhood at night. Walking with my husband from a downtown parking garage (err, THE downtown parking garage) at night to a restaurant and back, through dirty, isolated hallways and stairwells, we did not think twice about our safety. Speaking of downtown, a Toronto coworker had once commented on how pathetic it is. There isn’t much there if you are into Toronto nightlife, just a few shops and restaurants with a park and pier for an after-dinner walk. There is a performing arts building although I have never been. I am not really the downtown Toronto type so I don’t feel like I am missing anything. For a special event, I could always travel to Toronto. You will likely want to own a car living in Burlington. Even friends-of-a-friend who moved here from overseas and were trying to avoid a car started looking for one. With a car, most stores and restaurants you would want to visit are a quick zip along the highway, maybe 10 minutes maximum to drive (unless the highway is jammed). Speaking of which, the highway can get quite jammed at times heading west toward the 493/QEW split, weekdays and weekends. The jams are not as bad as being stuck on the 401 or Gardiner, probably still a 10-minute drive across the city, but they can be frustrating if you are trying to get somewhere by a certain time. Being right on the highway, Burlington is a convenient drive to or from Toronto and Mississauga in one direction (30 minutes to couple hours depending on traffic) and Niagara and the U.S. in the other direction (maybe an hour ignoring traffic, but traffic does get terribly jammed between Burlington and Niagara). Getting to cities elsewhere can be inconvenient, Kitchener for example, because there are no North-South divided highways nearby (really I think it was quicker driving to Kitchener when I lived in Etobicoke!) The city is right on the train tracks to take a Go train into downtown Toronto. There are city busses, but I am not familiar with them and can offer no insights there. As for work … there are tons of businesses around, from new office buildings sprouting up to long-existing factories and industrial buildings (there is even a brand new vinyl record-making plant, cool!) although there seem to be quite a few for lease signs on commercial buildings if you drive around, similar to Mississauga. There are jobs that come up in the area in my field here and there (there is even a medical writing business here!), but when I was looking about four years ago I was not able to get a job in my specialty in the area. I work about 45 min-hour drive away currently. Living in Burlington, working in Toronto/Mississauga is doable, although with an annoying commute (and sometimes a scary commute in the winter). We are missing some things here, such as a decent place to buy pet fish (there are Petsmarts, and actually their head office is here, but the Aquarium Services in Oakville closed, which is another story) and a place to get dim sum. There are sushi restaurants, Indian restaurants, etc. and most of the big-box stores, including a (busy busy) Costco. No Costco gas though. There are parks around, a waterfront with a view, trees, and even a Botanical Gardens (which I keep meaning to visit). Much of the city is subdivision, but there are some nice old buildings here and there, mainly downtown. In summary, Burlington is a safe and nice place to live, conveniently located along the highway and Go train line. It is expensive to buy a home here, although not as bad as Toronto. Working may or may not involve commuting.
  4. Если Вы вместе с работодателем придумаете, как официально показать этот источник дохода - это пройдет. Главное, чтобы источник дохода был показан официально.
  5. Нет, ищите другой вариант. И вообще поменьше рассказывайте о своих неофициальных "бонусах". Откорректировал спустя 2 мин Дополню свой ответ ранее - конечно варианты есть всегда, я был немного резок в ответе...но только если это также официально будет оформлено (дивиденды и т.п.). Неофициальные "бонусы" - не покатит
  6. Апну тему, инфа о Лондоне. London 3. Cost of living varies based on region of London, and can go from low-end rent around $500/month (we’re not talking quality living here), to around $1.5k a month if you’re in a more ritzy area. Housing prices range from the low 100s, to 400k for most homes, with several ritzier places being in the 425–750k range. Utilities and other amenities are similar to other Ontario cities. However, London’s job market is unique. There aren’t many large corporations or head offices like you have in Toronto or the Waterloo region. There aren’t many industrial regions that are significant enough to maintain steady employment. There are a lot of small, family-owned businesses, and an inordinate number of restaurants, half of which are relatively sub-par, in my opinion. If you have a good job with a good company, then you’re probably fairly well set. If you have a risky company, or if you’re a flight risk yourself, then you may expect long periods of unemployment between jobs, unless you have a high-demand skillset or a lot of flexibility when it comes to income requirements. London has a tendency to have a very wide spread between low and high salaries for skilled jobs (ie, for a technical role, you could see variation of more than 100% (the high salary being more than double the low). While that’s common in a lot of large cities, the bottom 25–30% of London salaries only barely cover the cost of living for the area for a single person. To support a family with a single income, you need to be in the top 25% of the pay scale for most roles. London’s overall political behaviour is much like a stereotypical “old boys’ club.” The downtown businesses and the wealthy elite carry a lot of weight in the political decision-making, and many progressive ideas for London have been stalled by traditionalists who are more concerned about their personal bottom line than they are about the progression and growth of the city. Things like alternative transit systems (Uber, rapid transit, ring-road) and businesses (food trucks, corporate offices, entertainment centers in the malls) have been stalled several times by elitists concerned about their existing businesses. One of the biggest problems London has is traffic congestion. There is no way to get from one of the city to another without significant and variable traffic delays. There is no major vine roadway, nor a way to get around the city in a reasonable time. If you live and work on opposite ends, you can expect a 30–60 minute commute. Transit is generally impossible for long distances (anything more than half the length of the city), as it will take 60+ minutes to cover. I live in the Northwest and work in the south. Transit would require about 90 minutes each ways. Overall, for individuals, London has a pretty decent supply of activities and resources available. Bike trails, performing arts, downtown activity, etc. For families however, the cost of family activities in London can be very pricy. By the time you factor in travel time during congestion periods, expensive (privately owned) downtown parking, and overall congested parking (ie, good luck finding a parking space at the Farmer’s Market Saturday morning), even simple family activities can become quite costly. There are little to no free options for families that are available year-round, or offered in enough locations in the city to keep the congestion to a minimum. For instance, there are free splash pads during the summer, but on the days you need them most, they are so congested with people, it’s easy to lose your child. What does give London an advantage though, is its physical location. Less than an hour from Port Huron in Michigan, if you fancy a US trip, and reasonably close to travel destinations in Michigan like Frankenmuth. An hour from Waterloo region, and about a 90-minute drive to the Hamilton region. About 2 hours to the Niagara and GTA regions, makes it easy to use London as a home base for day-trips to several major nearby cities, where there are plenty of options available for a diverse group of people. Overall, I don’t personally find it to be a beautiful city (it was 20 years ago, but has lost its magic), but it is a decent place to live if you value the proximity to other decent cities as well. At the end of the day, it’s fine to be here… but a good job offer, and ease of relocation would be more than compelling enough to move just about anywhere else, because there’s nothing I find uniquely compelling about London to remain here on any kind of a permanent basis, but nothing about London so terrible that I feel compelled to leave, either. It’s “average.”
  7. Знаю лично женщину, которой в 42 года дали Study Permit в Канаду. (+ у нее мужу столько же и ребенок 10 лет, но они очень граммотно показали связи с родиной). Предельный возраст обучения в Канаде официально отсутствует. Но шансы можно характеризовать фразой: "Чем дольше потенциальный иммигрант будет приносить в будущем деньги в экономику страны, тем больше у него шанс получить визу."

    Мы продали квартиру и положили деньги на счет около месяца назад только. Соответственно деньги лежат там только месяц. Но мы приложили к пруф оф фондс договор купли продажи квартиры + перевод + лое. То бишь достаточно показать источник денег - подтвердить что они Ваши. Но рекомендую чем раньше, тем лучше - ложить деньги на счет. В любом случае, Вашу наличку они не видят - а деньги на счету - это реально доказательство наличия средств. Надо только подтвердить что они именно Ваши, а не Вы их одолжили. Если продавали недвижимость или еще что-то достаточно дорогое за последние несколько лет - вполне сойдет. Если есть солидная зарплата - также.
  9. А что Вы смотрели? <noindex>https://www.google.com/search?q=manitoba+un...me&ie=UTF-8</noindex> Выбирайте) Из самых популярных уни: Унни Виннипега Унни Манитобы Коледж - Ред Ривер Колледж в понятии канадцев - это тоже высшее учебное заведение. Но уни дает научные знания, а колледж прикладные.
  10. Да, любое канадское образование в Канаде ценится выше чем его отсутствие.
  11. Нет, только в Манитобе надо отработать 6 месяцев. Везде 1 год.
  12. Если едете один и поступаете на 1 годичную программу, затем сразу на другую - рисков для Вас нет. Получите в итоге 3 года ворк пермит. Но если ехать подумаете вместе с женой - то получить визу жене будет меньше шансов, чем если бы Вы ехали на 2х годичную программу. Длительность программы меньше и визовые офицеры могут посчитать что год жена может подождать и дома. В любом случае, если едете один или с женой - надо доказывать то, что Вы вернетесь. Что у Вас прочные связи с родиной. Если едете с женой - делать это и делать хорошо - еще более важно
  13. Жесткого перечня специальностей, которые востребованы и по которым надо отработать нет. Можно отработать например продавцом в любом магазине.
  14. Для получения номинации Вам надо отработать 6 месяцев. Если Вы едете на годичную программу сам - Вам дают год разрешения на работу, если за год разрешения на работу Вы не отработаете 6 месяцев непрерывно у одного работодателя - все пропало. Если Вы едете на двухгодичную программу - Вам дают 3 года разрешения на работу - здесь шансов для одного гораздо больше. Но если едете вместе с супругой - она может с первого дня Вашей учебы искать работу - соответственно за тот год пока Вы учитесь, она уже может наработать 6 месяцев, получает номинацию и Вы за ней прицепиком.
  15. Здравствуйте. Провинция Манитоба. Но когда едет семья - 1 учится, другой ищет работу - шансов остаться больше.
  16. Если едете на годичную программу надо показать наличие денег на оплату года обучения + года проживания.
  17. Понятно, что если будет очень хорошое предложение по работе, то буду ездить и в Торонто на работу. Но сейчас работы не будет, а жить где-то надо будет)) В этом смысле окрестности Торонто - также хороший вариант...
  18. Regina 3. I’ll just add a few things about quality of life. For young people and young families in particular, houses in Regina are around $300000 and up these days. The cost has stabilized so it’s no longer increasing rapidly, for now at least. You can get a good house for a lower price in some nearby towns, Lumsden in particular. Lumsden is about a half hour northwest of Regina and connected by a major highway which is being upgraded at the moment. Even in winter it’s generally a pretty easy trip if you work or study in Regina. Lumsden has some decent services for a town of a couple of thousand people: bank, credit union, general store, pharmacy, doctor, chiropractor, dentist, vet, hair stylists, a variety of niche shops. The main things you can’t get there are appliances, clothes and medical specialists. Costs on goods and services are slightly higher than Regina but factoring in time and fuel it works out fairly. As for other costs in Regina and area, phone, electricity and gas are still low compared to many cities of equal and larger size. A monthly bus pass is around $60 for an adult, and service in most areas is every 30 minutes Monday through Saturday for most of the day (around 6 AM to midnight, give or take a bit), and every hour on Sunday for somewhat shorter hours. Sunday transit is actually more convenient than it seems. You can do some shopping or take in a movie, and get home in decent time on the bus. Rent for one bedroom apartments mostly starts around $800 with a few exceptions. Two bedroom starts around $1100. If you check around you can find a pretty decent place without going too high. Food prices are reasonable, as are clothes. There’s not a lot of competition on internet - mainly SaskTel and Access Communications. If you use internet a lot for downloading, streaming etc, SaskTel is your best bet, as Access has a monthly cap on usage. I pay $65 a month for 10mbit (1.1 Mb/s download) with unlimited usage. When infinet upgrade is completed in apartment buildings, my speed should triple at no cost increase. Most residential areas are already upgraded. As for cable, Access has a basic package that starts at $20 and includes most networks. If you get internet or another service with them, the cost drops to $10. SaskTel’s basic Max package is a little higher. It depends what channels you want. I agree there is some racism towards First Nations people, and there is also a lot of complaining about “Pakis,” Muslims, Chinese etc, as a fair number of people from those areas have moved here in the last 10–20 years. There isn’t a lot of violent crime here though, so if you aren’t too sensitive to some looks and a few muttered comments you should be fine. Property crime is a little on the high side for a city our size, but still low compared to many large cities, and much of the crime is concentrated in the “core” (near downtown) and the northeast. I live in east central, and it’s fairly quiet here. Most people are pretty decent.
  19. Пока немного о Kanata 1. Kanata is a suburb of Ottawa. It's cold in winter, warm in summer. Lots of civil servants live there. They have good schools there. If you are in high school in Kanata, you are luckier than most of the world’s high school kids.
  20. Regina 2. This is a basic rundown of my take on the city and I've lived here all my life so I feel it's pretty accurate. Quality of life in Regina is quite good compared to really big centres. If you are into the party scene you might be disappointed. There are several bars but it isn't like Toronto or Vancouver that has a huge nightlife. There is lots to do otherwise with parks, several museums and an art gallery as well as the symphony orchestra. Depending on what you do for a living there is a lot of jobs available in the lower wage category. Not as much in the middle wage scope but still if you apply yourself you will eventually find something. Schooling - There is a public and a catholic school system for kindergarten through to grade 12. There is also trade schools and a university here. Housing - A bit above average cost wise but there is enough available if you can afford it. I would recommend staying away from living in the north central area as it's pretty rough. City taxes are very expensive here. Transit is a problem here and it's hard to get around. I recommend that you have a vehicle to drive as you can get pretty much anywhere in the city within 20 minutes. Bus service is horrible unless you are going downtown. Food - Grocery shopping is fairly cheap except for seafood. Of course I like to buy in season so I buy and freeze for when the costs go up. Eating out is also an option and we have a wide variety of restaurants and lounges to enjoy. Healthcare - we have a lot of clinics in the city and many are open until 9pm. I recommend you go to them if it's not an emergency. The wait time in emergency is extremely long unless you are at deaths door. You must have a healthcard or you will be charged for service so if you are moving here get that healthcard right away. I think this covers most of what Regina has to offer. We are a smaller city compared to Calgary Vancouver or Toronto. People are pretty friendly as long as you are polite and friendly yourself.
  21. Спасибо за ответ. Я то лучше буду зарабатывать меньше, но в своей местности, чем убивать время в дороге. Вопрос я задал, чтобы лучше понимать, насколько много работы в окрестностях. Судя по тому, что многие ездят в Торонто, то не так уж и много.

    Вы имеете ввиду вообще отказа по пр или за медицину не переживаете? Меня ожидание изводит ппц...так переживаем, чтобы не получить отказа... Насколько вообще затупить или напороть надо с сабмитом, чтобы получить отказ? Пожалуйста, успокойте меня кто-то)))

    Мы подождали, так как всеравно всего пакета доков не было, чтобы сабмитить и никто в шею не гнал. Но тут на самом деле без разницы. Как мне сказал врач с клиники: "Мы только первая инстанция, мы можем не требовать доп. обследовать и посчитать что все ок, а врач, который будет принимать медицину подумает иначе и запросит доп. обследования." Так что доп. обследования могут запросить уже после сабмита...ничего не поделать тут(
  25. Мне не сложно, будут ответы - буду размещать. Но на самом деле источник откуда я беру ответы я указал. Так что, если кому-то хочется самому задать вопросы - сделать это легко и просто)
