Hi, thanks for sharing your thoughts on bargain hunting. Am always so busy in Singapore that I hardly have time to do it in supermarts here, take-and-go kind of thing. Hopefully a change of lifestyle in Canada will spare me some time. Is the pace of study in Canada stressful? I'll open an RBC...

Hi doc, thanks for the advice. More or less Sask then unless something major crops up. Please pardon my ignorance, do First Nations looks like South Asian and how do I differentiate them? I had bookmarked the hungryman, will serve me really well if I am unable to make my own meals.

Hi doc, predominantly South Asian in the context of including Aboriginals? Sask has a high presence of First Nations and I understand they do look like South Asian. Anyway, that doesn't really bother me unless Sask exhibits traits of kiasu'ism, comparing everything from head to toes and 5C...

I suppose $700 a month is not considered expensive in a city like Edmonton. I did consider homestay for full board and lodging but the campus in Moose Jaw is too small a town. I don't know why I chose Sask as my province, the first thing that came to me was her generous provincial nomination...

I am going over Saskatchewan, Regina's area. Sask do have taxes higher than Alberta, I am budgeting a thousand dollars for a month, 500 for room rental and the rest for buying food to make own breakfast, packed lunch and dinner. Transport will be cycling. Is it possible to survive on cad1,000 a...

Hello everyone, I need some help and will be glad if any seniors out there can give me some guidance. I am embarking on a journey to Canada through the study route and will be enrolling for a course in a few months time for 2013 intake. I am still quite unsure of which diploma course to take...

Hi, anything unusual or special about Sask that I must take note of? How is the life in school then? Is it taught in a slow manner with lots of self-learning opportunities or the kind of pressure-cooker system we get in Singapore? Pardon my ignorance, I'm not familiar with airlines and...

Hi goggleplexes, I understand that Saskatchewan is a relatively rural area, especially in Moose Jaw where the campus is situated. Is there anything that I must take note of? Are there redneck issues or prejudice against Asian in Canada? This is what the school mentioned a co-op student will...

Hi nayr69sg, how about the humidity in Saskatchewan especially Regina and Saskatoon area, is the summer as hot and humid as Singapore? googleplexes, how much in total did you spend on your diploma education excluding the frequent airfares you flew back :p

Hi there, I asked a faculty member on the average wages paid by a company to a co-op student and he told me on average 17-30/hour, is there a catch? 17/hour is around 2.7k per month and it's the same as what a university graduate is getting here.

Hi googleplexes, have you went to Canada before you embark on your studies?

Hi Silica, I am going into something similar as yours but in Saskatchewan, most probably SAIST.

Hi googleplexes, I am still single and am really afraid of getting married and having kids in a country which function like a pressure-cooker. I would like to direct some questions to people who are familiar with the oil and gas and possibly related industries too. Maybe nayr69sg can help or...

Hi there, if given a chance for you to walk through it again, how would you have done it?

Hi googleplexes, you should have spent quite some time examining all options on the study route to immigration. I am impressed, thank you for pointing out the danger of the 1 year certification path as programs of 2 years or more are given the maximum 3-year visa. I was looking at...

Hi googleplexes, instead of a 2-year diploma program, was there any reason that stopped you from going for a 1-year certificate course which would also qualify for the same post graduate work permit?

There are a lot of ways to immigrate and I'm looking at a few options, they are legal though. I had read some of your posts and must agreed that you're candid. Singaporeans are not necessarily honest but there is one thing to be sure, Singaporeans like their immigration path to be smooth and...

Hi nayr69sg, did your Mexican colleagues manage to apply for PR with their LMO? (Please accept my apologies for pulling out such an old post)

Re: nothing else Unfortunately no and I agree with nayr69sg. It is only your money when it is in your pocket.

Re: nothing else Singapore in her relentless pursuit for strong economic growth year after year has not really made its people happy. In order to overtake Hong Kong, she has to hit a population target of 7 million. With over 5 million people squeezing in this small island, I can hardly...
