salford1: Exactly. Stability is priceless especially when you have a mortgage and family. The state of the economy doesn't affect my job, I'll get a nice pay cheque every 2 weeks, and I have a nice golden/inflation protected pension waiting for me. Just priceless. I didn't even know or care to check the price of oil lol. 50 isn't too bad. 2 Likes 1 Share |

toyogirl: Off peak is usually in the summer time for hydro bills. The winter time is peak as the heater is usually running a lot. But whatever the bill is, you must pay. Its that simple. Yes appliances use electricity but no sane person unplugs their fridge when they leave the house. The power they'd take is not that much. Recent appliances nowadays are energy efficient. If an appliance has a "E" status, then its energy efficient. 9 Likes 1 Share |

vcole:You cant fix it for long before the next renewal or something like that ...most bank would offer fixed for 5 years, some could give 10 years but at an high rate, sometimes close to 6%. The exceptions are also quite common nowadays...Due to a lot of mortgage advisors beating the safety net put in place, the interest rate hike recently by the bank of Canada affected a lot of households. Some started defaulting cos they really never could afford the mortgage they signed on for. |

Ehrnie:Never worked in the patch even when Alberta was on full steam. I worked office roles(design) in Red deer/Calgary. When all was good in alberta, you could get your advanced class 5 drivers license, safety certifications from enform in calgary or ndt/power/process operator classes at sait or nait, and that would keep some change in your pocket. You could still research those options as you never can tell. You might still be able to break it in with some certifications. As per licensing...i gave some info on my earlier post. Much also depends on your discipline. Civil guys without their license are still doing alright if you can break into material testing(not met/mat)...still lots of road maintenance going on with lots of OT. 4 Likes 1 Share |

maternal: The bottom line is that I am not advising people to buy mansions that cost 1 or 10 Millions dollars. People should pick up something reasonable within their means not to give them headaches later on. Here in London, there are 2 bedrooms apartments that would cost around $1000 in monthly mortgage. And to rent a 2 bedrooms apartments would cost almost the same amount. Why not buying such apartments instead of paying rent on them? At least later on if you decide to buy a bigger house, you can sell the apartment and use the funds as down payment on the bigger house. 26 Likes 6 Shares |

Alikote:i think there is always a demand for transport and logistic professionals. There is a lot of freight(truck and train) activity in Canada. I dont know much about that sector in terms of evaluation of previous qualifications. You dont need canadian edu or experience to get jobs, having them only makes your job search easier. Just make the move if you can, have strong drive and determination, and be optimistic that things would suceed here. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
