Moving to Canada, please help.

[honeybunny]

I've lived in Dubai for a year and half and I'm contemplating migrating to Canada. I have an MBA in HR from a US university and lived there for several years.

Dubai salaries are correlated to whatever passport you carry. Being Kenyan, I'm not on the receiving end of this (archaic) arrangement, no matter how smart and able I am. I'm not bitter about it but do not feel like sticking around till the tide turns

I've done a lot of research and want to move to Toronto coz of the relatively warmer weather. What is the HR job market in Toronto like? Any estimate on the salary ranges are? Finally, any suggestions on how I could find a job from here so I could move sooner? If not possible, I'm still waiting to migrate and look from there.

Are you sure the weather in Toronto is warmer than Dubai?

Toronto is a high cost place to live , not one of the best job markets at this time , warmer than some Canadian cities , but still bl###y cold for too many months unless you consider temps dropping to minus twenty at times to be 'Warm' .Most of Canada is an ice-box for 3/4 months of the year , snow storms , ice storms , freezing rain that pulls huge trees to the ground , warm to most people who live in high temp countries would likly consider temps in the low twenties to be warm . the country is fairly well geared to this weather but will you be ?

Did anybody read the British newspapers yesterday? The Canadian government are now opening their doors to immigration, especially British immigration. They are looking for 50,000 professional people........................

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Everybody I talk to in the UK say the same thing. What a total mess the country is in and I am really happy not to be part of it.

Regards

Colin,

Thanks for the response. That's why I said I'm contemplating moving there...the weather bit would be a huge obstacle for me.

May have to stick it out here.....dealing with the weather, plus not being certain about the job market does not make the move attractive.

Me too. The UK is a total joke at the moment and I am seriously worried about bringing my children up here.

The Wife and I have now decided to looking into Canada seriously but its a daunting process.
