Friends, with God's grace I have landed a job in Canada before I have travelled. I am just over the moon.

Apologies, cannot share too many details before I land and join on 1st October. I just wanted to post this so that it'll encourage everyone to keep searching job sites endlessly even if you do not receive any responses initially. I applied through various job sites like workapolis.com and monster.ca.

I wish you all luck too.

Guys, all I did was, update my resume and posted to 100s of postings on different job sites especially workapolis.com. Did that everyday.
I applied for immigration on the basis of my experience in the hotel industry but my expertise is in business development & transitioning businesses from onsite to offshore locations in outsourcing. I was in luck that this company was looking to set something up in India and the needed someone for business development in Canada- so it just clicked. Thank God for that!

Hi

PR cards are issued in Nova Scotia CPC and then mailed to the applicants. Where do you stay. Do not worry wait a bit more and it shall come. I know it causes worry as you become grounded and except to get travel documents you cannot travel outside Canada. Do not worry it will come and thanks for the wishes.

ABOUT PR CARD?

Dear Qorax, Seniors

I had been to Canada for two weeks with my family to complete the landing formalities. Now I am back and joined my old job. I just want to know whether we can ask our relatives (Address where the PR card with arrive) to post/courier the card to me? Or is this illegal?

Thanks a lot
