Settling down in small cities of Canada
Dear friends,

We are immigrating in the month of April . I would like to know which place is ideal to start of my journey as an immigrant in smaller cities like-Ottawa, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and Yukon.

As my husband is in sales and marketing department as a 'Product -Manager ',which cities would be ideal for him.

If not in sales and marketing what other occupations are in demand as per his qualification(Electronic -Engineer and M.B.A. From India).

As I am housewife till now , what careers would you suggest to start of in the above cities.My qualification is M.A. in Sociology and basic computer knowledge. Have done Call center course and have worked as front desk in independent motel.

Do all these cities have low cost of living ,low car insurance , housing and low taxes compare to Toronto.

thanks.

Hi,
I am in the same boat as you as in, will be landing in May 2009.

About job prospects --Have you not attended the CIIP counselling sessions?

Small cities, good living --You could look at Regina or Kingston.

I am looking at either Vancouver (expensive!!!) or Halifax (I am a sea buff).

Not a good idea to start in small cities for new immigrants.

Samll cities have less jobs and not enough education avenues for desi immigrants.

Also support structure is not good for new immigrants.

Ideally Toronto or vancouver are the good places to immigrate.
