Hi Rahul,

My skills include a mix of web technologies, project coordination, J2EE, Smalltalk, Microsoft, Web services etc.. I had posted my resume in monster and was contacted by a recruiter. Was selected after a few rounds of telephonic interview when I was in New Jersey.

However, there were some project delays due to which there were delays in my joining. Meanwhile, my time to migrate to Canada was fast approaching and I decided to land in Toronto instead, as it was closer to NJ, and I had some relatives there.

A few weeks after landing, this one from Vancouver came through, and here I am!

Hope this answers your question. PM me if you want any further details!

Guys

We had a Canadian Desi meeting for Vancouver people last year and not many people turned up. It is nice that the CD members in BC are increasing . Since a lot of members are moving to BC and are in BC , Lets meet some day and have a CD meeting .

Any Suggestions ?

Great idea, Smiley! You can count me in! We could plan something for summer.

Thanks for your help, BTW! I fixed an apartment in Burnaby, Metrotown area. This one is pretty close to amenities and is also walkable to my work location.

Morning_rain - thanks for the safety tips about Metrotown area. We will be careful. Will probably buy a car soon, but right now we've been managing without one so far. The Metrotown area seems very nice and beautiful so far, but will definitely heed your warning.

Hi all of you in BC

We are moving into Vancouver from Dubai mid August and just dont know where to look for an affordable place. Any pointers about Burnaby, Surrey, Coquitlam, Vancouver East / West, Richmond? Our sons will look for admissions in grades 11 and 6 respectively. I know schools depend on the area where you live. So the perenial question, select accom first or school first. Any tips / pointers?

Not knowing any economical place to spend the first 3 nights upon landing, we are booked at the Best Wester Inns & Suites on King George HW in Surrey at CAD 105/- pernight. Any suggestions on alternatives / options?

Thanks in anticipation,

Cheers

I think CD $105 per night is too much. Go to this website: http://www.craigslist.org" rel="nofollow">LINK and there you will find some rooms or places for rent. I think it will be a better worth of your money to find a temporary rent rather than spending $105 per day.
