Thanks for your response.

I want to move Cos they clearly telling us if you’re not bilingual we don’t want you here no more. Like about two years back they’re a lil bit nice with it. But now it’s getting really bad. Just feels like they’re just closing in on it. To get a most jobs now requires French.

I don't know about NB - hopefully those there would throw more light. Except you're seeking an avenue for longterm stay, as you already have a base, such moves should be off the back of palpably better opportunities e.g after having got a better job or exploring a better business opportunity.

I currently live in NB. What information do you need?

Kaycee20878:
Hi guys.. I hope you’re all doing well.

Please I’m considering moving from Quebec to New Brunswick. I don’t know much about NB. Sounds crazy but I also don’t know anyone there😂, not a soul. I need any type of help I can get. Not financial help nor someone to accommodate me. I mean tips, advice, more information about the job market, cost of living, the environment. Anything anyone is willing to share. Please if staying in NB or have lived there before any information or knowledge you share will be helpful. Thanks in advance 🫂

cost of living?
Job market?

How long have you lived there ?
Is it somewhere you’d advise someone to move to ??

I moved here from western Canada almost three years ago. I moved for a job.

Cost of living have gone up. Houses are cheaper than where I moved from and Ontario, but food is more expensive. I can't say much about the job market. I have not applied for a job since I moved here but I heard the job market is currently very tight like everywhere in Canada. If you don't have a job waiting or something you want to come do in NB, I won't advise someone to move to NB.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know what life's like living in Thunderbay, Ontario as a PR? I have read that the cost of living is quite affordable.
What about job opportunities? Commute systems? community lifestyle? there seems to be very little information about the city.
I'll appreciate if I can get more first hand experience information.

Thank you.

If you are already a permanent resident, and you do not have a HIGH paying job or other high priority reason waiting for you in Thunder Bay, it may not be the best place to start your new life in Canada. The city is far from everywhere, population is low, economic opportunities are less, etc. Rent may be cheap, but dont forget rent is usually cheaper where opportunities are few.

Thank you so much.

I think you should consider other cities/provinces too since there is nothing pulling you towards NB.

Do a SWOT analysis.
Look at economics, weather etc
Consider what is best for the kids/spouse.
Always pray, if you are the spiritual type.

Someone whose first name starts with P (Pierre) has not been sleeping very well.

Lol... after siding with the Republicans before the election, chap is now torn between. After years of hardwork, he is now left praying that Trump et.al reduces the volume

Mark on the other hand is a good and likeable candidate with a brilliant economic pedigree- one the public could trust in this period of Trump-induced economic uncertainty. I wouldn't blame any Canadian who doesn't trust PP to take on Trump.

I believe politicians of any shade or hue are not to be trusted. Their benefit must outweigh the harm they cause.

But I have a personal distrust for the ones who have never worked any other job - the career politicians. This guy (P) was born in '79 and apart from a brief stint in corporate collection for Telus, has already spent more than 20 years on government payroll as a politician!

Happy Sunday all,

Please I should be heading to Calgary on Spouse open work permit in a month or 2 as my visa has been approved,I will like to ask if there are settlement programs I am eligible/can in Calgary to assist with Jobs e.g ACCESS employment that is in Ontario??

PS:Worked in banking operations (branch) for 7 years??

Trudeau a drama teacher won elections 3 times. All of a sudden liberals now care about qualifications and pedigree that Carney has lol. He obviously is a good candidate but he is the poster child of those net zero/ sustainability bullshit policies.

Hi please does anyone have an Airbnb or apartment to let out for three months in Ontario am interested in getting one as I will be coming to Canada to give birth from may to juiy

7years pere.. this na inexperience

Jokes apart, if you're able to grab a small vehicle first, start delivering jobs. Your experiece can/may be 0 here especially at this time.

Start applying vigorously to any and every jobs available in your field starting at the lowest rank

Avoid bogus course adverts that promise to land you six figure jobs in 6months

The newcomer centres can help with Resume, nothing else. Na to hustle by yourself. Peace

I am taking a drama/math/humanities teacher over a career politician anytime, any day. A teacher is a respectable member of any community compared to a politician, any politician.

JT has his foibles but I do not for a minute doubt that his mistakes would not be an exact replica of PP raised to a power of 7 if he were the Prime Minister. He would also let in record number of immigrants simply because it will ameliorate the shockwaves created by COVID and more importantly because of the private sector. PP voted against establishing a National School Food program and it is a fact that his top advisor lobbies for, yes, Loblaws.

We can't take it from MC that he has the pedigree to lead the country in this time of economic uncertainty with his experience. He may be one of the backers of the Carbon tax but he is wise enough to know it is unpopular and he has taken a u-turn on the carbon tax by repealing it.
I do not think that those policies are nonsensical, they just went too fast with them in a short period of time without doing due diligence in many areas including the area of public enlightenment.

someone who wrote a book that talked about climate change change/sustainability , someone whose wife is an expert in sustainability and also said Canada carbon taxes is a model for the rest of the world to follow suddenly removes carbon taxes and you think it real. He simply will introduce and shadow carbon tax 😂

slydog:


Hi Ed,
Off the cuff, please do you know if Canada has a replica of the US SBA loan, that can be used to purchase a business?

Canada Small Business Financing Program (CSBFP)
Black Entrepreneurship Program (BEP)

U-turn? Not yet. He has not repealed it. He can't repeal it until the parliament is called back. He only reduce the rate to zero, which is allowed by the legislation. However, the industrial carbon tax is still in place and he promised to keep it for the large emitters. When they questioned him more on what that means for Canadian industry competitiveness, he said he will apply a carbon adjustment price to imports from countries with no carbon tax. I don't see him letting go of carbon tax.

Yea, right! As long as you have written an encyclopedia about climate change and lay in bed with Greta, we can conclude that you will continue with that idea against the will of the people, even if your predecessor 'died' on that hill and a majority government is unlikely with other parties not on board with said idea.

The reality is that if some section of the Canadian (middle class mostly) is not sold down the river by climate change policy of the liberals, another section (lower + middle class) will be betrayed by the Cons through another unpopular policy. Choose your poison or should I say choose your reward?

There is only one people oriented party in this country that will not sell out to the rich/powerful and it is neither the Liberals nor Cons. And it is the only party that has consistently canvassed for people policies like National food program, pharma-care, dental program and even challenged grocery chains like Loblaws about price gouging etc.....

lol @ shadow carbon tax! Perhaps we can add Sellout Singh, Carbon Tax Carney, Justinflation, Axe the tax, Canada is broken now Canada first e.t.c. Too much exposure to Pierre's soundbites and trite slogans...

That was a wrong statement for me to use. He has removed consumer carbon tax.

I see him letting go of the consumer part permanently as he has done already. Also, I think he will look for a way to pacify resource dependent provinces like AB, SK etc by not hampering their moves for extraction/prospection etc. Dude is a billionaire with a lot of influence...these kind of folks know how to compromise and horse trade.

Lolss.


Suddenly Carney is the best thing after slice bread. Somebody that was barely a known name in Canadian politics 6 months ago.

I’ve spent the last few months following political convos in the U.S. and canada. You see the US, let’s not talk about that one. At least Trump has a known legacy.

But you see Canadian politics? Annoying. Very very annoying. And Canadians are so accepting of everything they should speak up against. Especially in the moment. Suddenly everyone has forgotten all the Trudeau problems, yet it’s the same liberal party. Or tell me how are party ideologies different because it’s a new face?

If something has not worked for 3 with the same party. Then at least give room for change. But again, none of the other parties even have a strong manifesto. Pp is busy running antagonistic Ads. Singh is a sneaky one and he’ll never be appealing to most Canadians. Except maybe when Bollywood takes up 1/4 of the Canadian population.

But Carney isn’t a saint. These changes and show ups he’s doing his all just to win the election. Go and read about him. The one things we’ll definitely be paying more for is tax and funding global ideologies & projects that will not benefit the average tax-paying Canadian resident.

There is a reason why NDP can't win an election in this country cos people are not stupid. It sounds good to parade those bogus programs but who is going to pay for it? NDP never thinks about how to grow the economy, this time around they will be wiped out. They had the chance to force an election that would have favored them but was aligning with JT, now they are not part of the equation again.

MC has an impressive resume but I can't trust him. He has switched his position on almost everything he believed in from carbon tax, pipelines, capital gains tax, deregulation etc. and he is doing it cos of the election. I'll rather stick with PP whose views on these are original. The good thing is that PP is not anti immigrants unlike Trump and his gang of crackheads so I don't see any reason to fear him.

What we need is common sense not ideology. Climate change is real but to kill or limit our industries while the like of China and India are still building and firing coal is a no no for me. It is either the whole world do the same thing we do or we do what others are doing. Even if we unilaterally end fossil fuels, we will still feel the impact of climate change as we share one climate so why weaken ourselves for something we can't unilaterally solve? This is my problem with the Left.

Only the Liberals have their manifesto published right now since they are in power. By the time election is called all the other parties will publish their manifestos. I like watching the debates before the elections. They are always very interesting. Each party will promise us what they will do.

There is a reason where the possible best the so called people oriented party will get in Canada is an official opposition. A lot of their socialist policies are not popular for a reason. In my circle of friends full of middle class no one has benefited from the pharma-care and the dental program.

When it comes to voting, I make an educated choice. I will never understand the concept of carbon tax in Canada. Like you you mentioned we all know climate change is an issue but why tax ourselves so much when countries with more GHG emission don't have such policy. The tax increases the cost of production in Canada and we can all tell what has happened to GDP per capita, investment per capita, food prices since the introduction of the policy.

The do not have to win an election to play a role. I would assume that there are some functionally thinking Canadians who are aware that the effect of these programs are being tracked and there are policy documents outlining their economic benefits - from the dental program to $10 a day child care.

Official opposition is still a target to aim for and it does not take away their antecedent that they are the only party that does not sell the people out to the rich.

Oh and by the way, Canada's health care is publicly funded so as long as the dental program and proposed pharma-care prevents spending more money (which it does) down the line as a result of poorer health outcomes, then all taxpayers have benefited.

[quote author=lanresz post=134582329]They impose the carbon tax to comply with the international treaty on climate change. Canada hasn’t really contributed their quota to it until Trudeau came in, he is ionate about protecting “earth” . Also the climate stuff helps in international trade too, many politics are involved in it, they can’t get rid of it easily like that.

you should have listened to the debate he had with his opponents to have an idea on his plans for Canada. The guy isn’t even a politician. Right now he is the best candidate for Canada. I honestly don’t think PP would do well in international trade and relationships compared to him. He would also probably do what trump is doing, cut jobs and reduce government spending. I prefer MC solution. Go watch the debate to hear them.
