If you do not mind my asking and/or if the reason is not personal, can you please share why you moved from Mississauga esp. given the great set-up you just described. I have observed that most people here seem to avoid Toronto, I intend to settle in downtown Toronto and was hoping to read the experiences of someone living there. I had hoped @czaratwork would settle in Toronto per her finance career background, but for some reason she opted for Mississauga. Now you are moving from Missi which is closest to Toronto, to Brampton which is further out, hence, my question - asides the high cost of living, are there other reasons to live far especially if one is working in Toronto? I have always thought that Toronto is to Ontario, what Island is to Lagos, hence, if you lived on the Island in Lagos, you generally should have no qualms living in Toronto, but it is looking like this view may not be entirely correct.

Hey Family, Happy and blessed new year to us all. Bell Technical Solutions is currently recruiting for Field Service Technicans in the GTA area. The role is basically to install, repair FTTH, FibeTV etc. Safe to say you drive to customers homes in Bell mini vans or cars and do your job. You also work outdoor most times. Pay is $15.20 if you have no degree, $16.20 if you have a degree. Minimum 50hrs a week, lots of overtime too. It's actually a good way to gain industry experience and acquire new skills in the Telecom industry. You can work for 20 years if you wish and it's not part-time or contractua. I believe next training session for new hires starts 1st February Notes: You must have atleast a G2 to be considered for the role. Also choose a location that is closest to you and apply to there, and also tell them during the interview, because after you sign the contract it's hard to change locations. There's a pre-assessment online when you apply. Pretty easy. Here's the link: http://chp.tbe.taleo.net/chp04/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=BELLSOLUTIONS&cws=1&rid=2920&source=Indeed.ca God bless us all. 23 Likes 1 Share |

ikillmods: As permanent Citizen/permanent resident OR a visitor? If you are coming to Canada as permanent resident then the cost of childbirth is $0 Most of us here are either Citizens or residents of Canada. Therefore, the majority of us may not be familiar with the cost/process of giving birth in Canada on a visiting visa.

9jaAlien: Hi, please see in red above some comments. Note also there are actually a lot of people living in Toronto, at least that I know of but a majority live outside Toronto especially where you consider our cultural inclination for living in large spaces with plenty greenery around, it makes a bit more sense. When you're renting, it might not matter but when you're buying a property and will pay mortgage on it, you may prefer to own a substantial bit more square footage outside Toronto than a cubicle in the downtown. What you pay as rent for an apartment in the downtown could cover your mortgage on a house in the suburbs and when you have kids who need space, you will get this point. Just like in Naija, the further you are from the city, the more value for your money in terms of space. This holds true for any city wether in Lagos, Abuja, London, New York. It's all about budget and preference, there's something for everyone so rest assured, you can find whichever you prefer. By the time you're here, you'll be able to determine what suits you fine easier. Hope this helps. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Morbolar: @Morbolar. Yes, I've already landed but sorry, I'm not a pharmacist so I may not be in the best position to give you those specific details relating to the field over here. I was just privy to the information and I thought it good to share with my people on the thread just in case some finds it beneficial or knows someone that would. Nevertheless, I think some more knowledgeable folks like @Salford1 might be able to give some more discipline-specific and detailed insights in that regard. Cheers! 4 Likes |

Blackbuddy: Thanks Blackbuddy for your usual counsel. I want to digress a little and talk about school degree and work possibility options. How true is it that getting an MBA degree can help one when looking for work, especially from a good school in the Niagara region, which has 4-8 months co-op options? Could this be true or just another sales tactic from school representative to get international students? I am trying to put several options in place to ensure that my canny dream is a reality in 2018 ![]() ![]() 1 Like 2 Shares |
