Happy new year to everyone here.... I would appreciate some advise from experienced PR. I plan to relocate sometime July this year with my 5 year old daughter ..but I'm torn between 2 choices....... 1) Go first, settle and have her join me before the expiration of her medical 2) Go with her in July...... I understand its challenging relocating and more so with a child....but I'm not sure what to do. Also, which is more advisable and more profitable in the long run A Bridging program or a Co-op program? I'm into Administration and HR field I would really appreciate sincere advise from residents in Canada. Thank you 1 Like 1 Share |

beckycute1:Relocate via pr or via tfw or student permit? You should go with her. She's 5yrs old. She'll start kindergarten and go to a child care place for before and after school while yoy go to school, work or attend a bridging prog. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Happy new year everyone. @andyphief, you should try to search for thesis based msc progs in your field of interest and contact prospective supervisors. If you are able to secure a supervisor with a grant who is willing to put that towards your research then you won't have to pay for your studies. Explore Australia and Canada and maybe Germany. I wouldn't advise anyone to go study in the US right now unless you have a scholarship or funds because with the immigration reform with Trump, post study after schooling in the US is becoming a myth. Also look into applying for Australian PR. 4 Likes 1 Share |

vcole:Relocation via PR.. Thank you |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TheCongo2: 6:19pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
beckycute1: I may be wrong, I always think that the relocation to Canada is one of the easiest in the world given the varieties of social services this country offer to its newcomers. I stand to be corrected though. Therefore, I would never advise anyone who is moving to Canada to leave a child behind if the person can travel with the child. You should travel with your daughter. Yes, relocating may be challenging and intimidating. However, you will be surprised of how fast things will fall into place. 14 Likes |

TheCongo2: How about stabilizing, getting a job and then getting your kid to join? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by maziude: 9:02pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
XX01: That might not be a wise decision. IMO, going with the kid from the onset is the best plan. You both stabilize together. Afterall, you showed that you have what it takes to cater for both of you with your POF during application. So, what could be the fear here? 6 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by kazchick(f): 9:06pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
What about if the child is less than 5yrs old. More like 6 - 9mths. I am really confused. XX01: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by TheCongo2: 9:07pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
XX01: Good point. But if you are here with the kids during the school year, your kids will be in school while you will be looking for a job. Even if you bring the kids when school is Off, there are government subsidize programs which can help you take care of the kids during the day when you are looking for work. I believe YMCA has such program. The YMCA summer program for children is expensive for people with income but it is very cheap and maybe free for those with no income like new comers. I am sure there are plenty of other program that would accommodate you as a new comer with children. In any case, I strongly agree with maternal who said the following in an earlier post: the gov't of Canada spends millions of dollars each year to help bridge immigrants into the system so they can become successful. A good amount don't use it. Your community services will be a great place to start. They surely know much on the topic. How old are the kids? The links below provides an example of one of those services. They must be thousands of similar services across Canada. And they are free for newcomers. http://www.workingwomencc.org/location/fairview/programs-services/care-for-newcomer-children/ http://ymcawo.ca/newcomers-to-canada/ 9 Likes 7 Shares |

beckycute1: Happy New Year peeps. I'm also interested in feedback on the bolded in HR. I know a few people who have done bridging programs and one eventually still enroĺled for a college graduate certificate with co op/practicuum component. But people really don't let you into details when you ask. Are bridging programs truly worth it? How much impact does it have on one's resume and job search? 1 Like |

Rebarobyn:Nothing is guaranteed in life. Bridging programs though helps in learning alot about the canadian work culture, building resumes or building professional networks in your field, some would even send you to local college to obtain certificates that could be 8 months long free of charge plus stipends, much still depends on preparation, luck, favour or fate or whatever you want to call it. In my opinion, they are definetly worth it since it is at no cost to you. Some are even competitive to get on. e.g CCIS programs in Calgary. They could receive over 200 applications for 20 spots in some of their programs. You would go through series of tests and interviews. Just like you, I know lots of people that still returned to schools after bridging programs. I also know some that returned to survival jobs after bridging programs, and I also know some that got good jobs after bridging programs. There are also some that never made use of them as well and still got good jobs. To each his own. I personally prefer getting Canadian qualification if you have the time or money. A bridging program may not give you the highly coveted canadian education and some co-op programs could give up to 1 year of paid work experience. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Delta007(m): 11:37pm On Jan 01, 2018 |
The reality is that even a Canadian degree does not guarantee you anything. In my opinion, if anyone wants to go down the route of getting a degree, try get into a professional stream (accounting, IT, engineering, dentistry, etc) or a trade (pipefitting, plumbing, power line technician, etc). salford1: 5 Likes 1 Share |

salford1: Hi, Presently, I've got an Meng admission to study Civil engineering at University of Ottawa but it has got no co-op program. I plan to do engineering volunteer work while I school, do you think tbis is a good plan? It's all for the Canadian experience and qualification. Maternal Thecongo2 2 Likes |
