Its NOT the country that makes any major difference. Thats my hard core opinion. Its all what you chose to BELIEVE and can execute wisely.
Canada has a touch of Europe and that makes it more international contra US.
The wages are so so, depending on your field and years of experience.
Most Canadians get green card in US after working and paying tax after a couple of years. There is a good co-operation.
About your credit history: There must be similar branches of banks both in US and canada. So you continue your good "credit-history" by showing income or sum ppl lend money and have it in back to obtain some "needs".
I know, you can get new creditcards....by desi help and with a good sum, but the catch is you will have to pay them 5-12 % of the amount applied for.
ermm...ok? I was looking at several **reliable websites **and so far I haven't found anything negative. As far as hoteling business is concerned, didn't find anything negative there either. As a matter of fact, these sources are telling me otherwise. Supposedly, it's one of the best countries to live in according to the Human Development Index given annually.
So tell me, who should I believe? I knew someone would say something negative and I appreciate that. I don't like people to sugar coat anything that IS NOT. It's just so confusing..
errr..."reviews" on websites is a seperate business :D.
Calgary is a good choice IF you have the $$$$$ - seriously I know of so many familes that moved there because they heard from someone that people get $14/hour working in deps...lol what they didn't find out is how much housing costs and other costs are much higher! So now, all of the family members are working (some overtime) to afford. Also, the housing is limited in Calgary, most that migrate there are renting hotels.. Still Montreal is the best place to come to if you are wanting to settle in Canada. All desis come here first then move. Also look into the areas surrounding Toronto where the population is growing and so is the economy. Again don't move to Montreal if you don't want to bother with french. Other than that everything is fine!!!!!

There is no PST in Calgary (along with thousands of other stupid taxes that are levied on us Ontarians), so high housing prices can be compensated. And Calgary is oh-so-beautiful, I would move to the city for that reason alone! Ofcourse, I am talking about moving there as a pharmacist (and not for work in department stores), so you are right in the sense that people landing here in Canada from other countries should choose their destination carefully.
From an aesthetic point of view, vancouver is way the hell more beautiful, has usually mild weather (it rains a bit) and hardly sees snow. Toronto Calgary and Montreal on the other hand see lots of snow especially Calgary. And did i mention Vancouver is beautiful?
calgary IS indeed beautiful.. clean.. nice people (well the ones ive come across so far)... but housing is CRAZY expensive.. 400,000-500,000 is the normal rate these days... good transit system.. and yes it does snow a lot and it used to be -40 coupla yrs ago.. last winter.. i think we had one big snow storm.. and it wasnt dat cold.. oh and the great rockies are an hr drive away :)
^ Housing doesn't sound too crazy. That's the normal range here as well. I am in the midwest and housing is supposedly cheaper in the region. Calgary is indeed very beautiful and like Game said, I would move there just for that reason alone.

You can get $14/hour working at an upscale department store here too. I have been to Toronto and I liked it. It IS much cleaner than here! Do most people in Montreal speak French alone or do they know both English and French?
