Introduction to the forum - Tell us about yourselves

[kaccad]

Hello to all,

My name is Karim, I am Egyptian married since 2006 and I am currently living in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

I am moving to Canada very soon (most probably Jan 2010).

I am very interested to meet people who are currently in Toronto since I will be moving there and I will be in need of assistance and guidance in finding a house to rent and of course any connection or referral to find a suitable job.

Thanks

Karim

Hi there,
As you might have guessed from my login ID my name is Paul, and although I'm not yet an expat living in Canada I am seriously considering it.
I'm actually English despite putting my country of origin as Scotland, the reason for this was simply that I'm originally from the very north of England, but I'm married to a Scot, my children are Scottish, and we currently live in Scotland!
I work in Saudi as a Marine Engineer and my hobbies include sailing, SCUBA diving, and clay pigeon shooting (Although I miss most of them!).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting some new friends through the forum, so I'll close this post by wishing you all well.

Paul

Hi guys

Im Chris 28, born and raised in London England, I have a fiancee and a two year old son (Thomas) and a new baby due in January and we are Itching to live in Canada.

I am an IT and Infrastructure lead Energy reduction specialist here in the UK. i have spent hours reserching moving to Canada with my partner and we are itching to get over ther and start our new life, However we have applied under the skilled worker programme and have been told that the only way we will gain permanent residence is if i have a job offer from a canadian business before we get there!

My partner is an A1 NVQ level 3 Hair and beauty assessor and is currently teaching hairdressing in the UK too!

I am very highly skilled in my chosen field but sadly my qualifications (above A Level) are only recognised in the UK.

We had some bad news in the summer when a good friend of ours was shot in the head by a gang , My friend was an innocent bystander when a fight broke out and was killed because of what he saw!

This cemented our feelings and we now really want to immigrate! does anyone have any advice for a young well educated family?

Please, any advice is welcomed
