Re: university vs polytechnic / college Hi Charlie9, Well Sir, the path to U through a college study is what my son and a good number of bright students in his cohort had chosen and his 2nd year result which was just released shows that he had done pretty well with As and Bs for all his...

Hi all, It seems likely that I may need to come back to Singapore for a week or two within a month after I land to settle some matters. This would mean I would not have received my PR card yet when I leave Canada and from what I gathered from the net, there would be some hassle to re-enter...

Hi Charlie9, My apology for not making my question clear. Whatever I bring along when I land, I will declare including the 'goods to follow' list. As for my properties and funds that is not in Canada, do I have to declare at the point of landing? From your reply, does it mean that I...

Hi MeiLiewwan, Oh yes, I recalled that now. Thanks for pointing that out. But later in the late 90's onwards,because of the fierce competition for the limited number of places offered in sg u, there's no guarantee that students will be admitted for undergrad studies even with good 'A' level...

Hi Dole43, Thanks for the links and will check them out. Does those rental advertised include furnitures? BTW, someone mentioned about Daviesville to me as a good residential location. Any comments? Also, I am about to open a Canadian Premier account from here. Is there any particular...

Hi Charlie9, We are not christian and hence we will just go for public school. I share the same sentiment as you. Previously i.e. as late as 5 or 6 years ago, people still think that Poly is for weaker students who cannot make it to the JC but it has all changed now. Nowadays, a lot of...

Hi Dole43, Address for PR Card, schools and such SafeHomeStay and the likes does come across as a good choice for a month's stay because: 1. I think the place offers an opportunity for new immigrants to mingle with and exchange useful findings related to settling in Toronto. This is...

Hi Charlie9, Is Chatholic school preferred over the other public school? Why? With due respect, is there any particular reason why colleges are not favoured by you? You are such a nice guy. Thanks.

Hi Charlie9, Noted, Sir. Admirable courage and determination. Definitely a not quitter characteristic. My salute to you. Regards :)

Hi Dole43, Chuckyworld and Charlie9, It is now past midnight and I just got back from work. (sigh). Today as well as these past few weeks had been rather hectic and busy for me at work. Employers and clients mentally in Asia is all about work and money. There is just no respect for the...

Did you jump with joy that Until U Xi union chief, Suay Suay Says wants to push for the CPF restoration? Would you prefer to have an increase in CPF or Salary? Is CPF increase good for you or what? Opinion?

Hi Dole43, 1st Accomodation upon landing The operators I mentioned do provide transport from Pearson to their place at a cost. I think should be OK. My only concern is, will using this temp address for my PR card, Driving License, SIN etc cause much inconvenience later on when I need to...

Hi CW, Thanks for your kind response and I assumed that you are in Toronto. Thus would be grateful if you would share what you know or from your experience on the followings: 1. During the first 3 months following the landing, what challenges do you experience or most new immigrants...

Hello gentlemen, I am interested too, can keep me in the loop as well? Thanks in advance.

I intent to land in Toronto this June and don't seem to find anyone from Toronto in this forum. Is it new immigrant to Toronto too busy struggling to survive or enjoying the good life and not bother at all to share their experience in this forum? Just curious ..

Hi B. Chan and Asychee, It seems the recommendation to move to Toronto is high but I noted that both of you are in Edmonton. Are there any reasons why you have chosen Edmonton over Toronto? Pardon my ignorant if these had been covered elsewhere in this forum. I am also wondering why...

Hi B Chan, Despite the well known cold in Canada, already I felt warmed by your big Wecome to Canada message as well as your good luck wishes. We need both i.e. the warm welcome and the good luck very much in my endeavour to relocate to Canada. Yes, Toronto seem to be the right city and if...
