    Regarding the work situation:

    Hey Guys!

    I just wanted to drop a quick line as there seems to be a lot of bitterness/shock or something about the job-situation here in Canada.

    Yes, it is taking most people a while to find jobs. But they ARE finding them.

    Of course I can only speak regarding Vancouver, as that's where I am, but when I arrived in April, it had taken most people about 1 month to find work. For me, I have been here for 2 months but only started looking about 6/7 weeks ago. It was very frustrating but I now have 2 part-time jobs, with space for a 3rd, which I'm hoping I will know about in the next few weeks.

    Over the last couple of weeks a LOT more people are arriving, so the competition for jobs is going to get worse - so be prepared!!!

    But I think the one thing that anyone coming over - and those of you that are already here and frustrated - has to remember, is that it is a Working HOLIDAY Visa. If you are coming with the intention of making your fortune, you will be disappointed!

    If you come with the intention of experiencing a new country, meeting new people, travelling, and having an amazing time, while making a few quid along the way to keep the moths out of your purse, then that is exactly what you'll do!:D

    Best of luck all, if you're in, or coming to, Van drop me a line if you've any q's

    Caroline

    As a nation of immigrants is canada more welcoming than Brazil? Brazilians seems the most 'proud' of being from a nation of such diversity, northern Americans seem to think they own the place.

    Hi,

    I'm thinking of moving to Canada.

    Do you know is it hard to get a visa from Ireland if you want to go there full time? I tried their website, but it's ver complicated.

    Also, is it hard to get the working holiday visa for a year? And can you stay for more than a year once you are over there?
