no one will take it serious application without a Canadian address and number so you really have to be in the country. and thats info i got from recruiters . where ya planning on heading ?
Hi GIA
I only just noticed your reply!
I'm heading to Toronto in June.
I kinda had a feeling that this wasn't going to be as straight forward in terms of applying for jobs over here as a non skilled worker.
I've heard of people being interviewed over Skype
...I will have to make sure I find somewhere to stay asap, or use the hostels address?!
...
Not sure I have really thought this through haha! I have 4 months to knuckle down because it would help if I knew where in Toronto that I would be best suited to stay.0 -

Hey im single but heading over alone. Thats gotta be hard on you. Im waiting on police checks have a few as ive lived in a few places. Im nervous too but sounds like there is a lot going it alone.
Might be an idea to organise a meet up for people before heading over get a few contacts down for when we are over there0 -

Hey Maggie
I am heading out in June on my own, I am single so I can not offer any advice on long distance relationships, but good for you for wanting to go where the work is.
I was hoping to make some contacts but as this is an ie forum and I am currently in England haha!
Not really sure other than arranging to meet up when I get to Toronto?!
Good luck with your plans 0 -

Well I am booked into a hostel for a couple of weeks, and then going to look for work and a more permanent place to stay.
I am really looking forward to it and being alone usually encourages you to make more effort to get to know people.
Good luck 0 -

Oops I just answered this to another user haha!
I have booked in to a hostel for 2weeks and then I shall take it from there.
I'm heading to Toronto and that is where I will spend my 2years, I want to settle in one place and apply for PR as a long term goal.
What are your plans/expectations other than finding work of course 0 -

anyone travel with Air Transat? found a great deal on a one way flight in mid May, its a fraction of other airlines less than €350. same flight with Aer Lingus is 416 give or take, bigger baggage allowance and plane though, hmm.
Someone was asking about them on one of the Facebook groups. (Possibly you
) Apparently, they bought some new aircraft recently which are nice, the older ones are a bit pokey though, and the food is crap.
Apparently great deals though!0 -
