Some of the ones I have had the opportunity to register and participate in are: FPHRC (FOOD PROCESSING HUMAN RESOURCES COUNCIL) www.fphrc.com - This comes with 12 certificates... gives you an edge if you consider exploring the Food and Beverage Industry. There are 21 course to be completed in 30 days. Once you complete them, your certificates would be mailed to you and an online webinar graduation where potential employers would also attend and you would be introduced to them. SOPA (Settlement Online Pre Arrival) https://secure.settlementonlineprearrival.ca/login/index.php - This comes with 5 courses, not sure if any certificates are issued yet, but you are assigned a mentor you book an appointment with, to help create and assess a plan personalized for you, also review your CV and cover letter. Prepcan www.prepcan.ca - You are assigned a mentor to help review your CV and cover letter and also give tips on how to connect with potential employers, where to and how to communicate with them. You start off with 45 minutes call from the mentor to assess where you are and you keep in touch until your arrival, where they link you up with post settlement organizations. NextStopCanada (YMCA) https://nextstopcanada.force.com - If I remember correctly, they are linked with PrepCan. Got the reminder email for my assessment from PrepCan. Prepare for Canada www.prepareforcanada.com CanPrep https://www.jvstoronto.org/pre-arrival/canprep/ All these are details from my personal experiences with them... Apart from the Mentors, training, etc, all these websites are full of webinars that would help a lot. Wish you all the best! yungreezy: 49 Likes 39 Shares |

Anytime I read though he comments hear I'm always pleasantly amazed at the depth o knowledge and insight we have access to for free here. God bless all of you who share your experience freely here. It really helps a lot of people around the world. Pls I need advice on an issue. I just got a new job offer that's in my field (technical maintenance and repairs) and I like the learning opportunity it offers and also the Canadian experience in my field. But I'm having second tots about taking it for the following reasons: 1. It's 3 hrs away from the city where I currently reside with my family so I will have to commute daily, weekly, or move there. 2. I already have a customer service job that pays like $7 less but my present job has opportunities for bonuses from sales which can be more than your salary in a good month. My wife works at same job and if we move together for d New job she will have to stop work. That means temporary loss of second income. 3. The new job is a one man business but my present job is with a national organization so the medical and other plans are better than with the new offer and I'm considering this cos I have kids. 4. If I move alone temporarily I will have to incure additional rent expenses and other costs that would've been shared if I dey with family. 5. Because the loction of the new job offer is in a bigger city, expenses there are a bit higher ( cost of renting, childcare, future house purchase etc) than where I am now. But there are also more job opportunities in a bigger city with higher salaries. The main reason I'm still considering the new offer is because it's in my field and the few days I spent trying it out showed there is a lot to learn from the job. I'm just scared of jumping from a tree I am familiar with to an unknown, smaller, but promising tree. The bills are already lined up and there is no room for error (lol) but my heart really wants the new job cos it's in my field and I will derive joy from doing it. But is joy all that matters? Please advice 7 Likes |

Hi guys,I am new to this thread. First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am considering a canadian move this year after much deliberation and thoughts. I currently have a job which gross is about 2.7m take home 2.1m annually. I have a UK degree no masters yet. I lived there during as well but their immigration rules didnt favour I am sick and tired of being in a country where electricity and water is a luxury where in other climes, its a basic necessity. All I need is advice, if canada will pay off, I would love to be guided, if it wont. Please advice and God bless us all. Thanks. |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by mclarry(m): 8:25pm On Jan 10, 2018 |
Stay in the current job based on the following reasons: Pros: 1. Current job/pay is just below $7 and bonuses from sales can offset that 2. You and wifey are earning, family income still higher 3. National organization with benefit plans to cover family 4. Lower cost of living Cons: 1. New job requires 3 hour commuting 2. Wifey loses her job, family earning decreases and burden falls on you 3. One man business will lack organizational structure and benefits do not cover family. Providing them for family will erode your earnings. 4. Higher cost of living associated with big cities You have been looking at things from your own perspective(my field). Consider wifey as well. I believe she would love to be busy and supportive rather than sit at home while you bear all the financial burden. In my opinion, the cons outweigh the pros. So my advice is that you stay put on your current job and city, wait for similar opportunity in you current location. You can also hone your skills in what you are doing currently. Be open to new careers and opportunities and don't clink on the phrase "my field". If you find another opportunity in your field, maybe in another big city, use the pros and cons model above.

My suggestion is that you should move to where you found the new job so you don't have to commute 3 hours. mclarry: 1 Like |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by vcole: 11:35pm On Jan 10, 2018 |
@paulverdi, I really don't know what to advise........I think I agree with the pros and cons mclarry put up. However, is the offer from the other job that aligns with your area of expertise good? Apart from the $7 difference in pay, what are the benefits and how do they compare to your current gig? Is commuting while your family remains where you are right now an option for you? If it is, would the cost of commuting make a significant dent in family income? If y'all choose to move to the new city, would your cost of living increase? Are there more job prospects for y'all in the new city in comparison to your current location? So many questions but I think at the end of the day you would have to crunch the numbers and figure out what the financial implication is on your family income and cost of living if you accept the new gig and then decide if it is something y'all can afford to handle keeping in view your long term career goals. 6 Likes |
