Tips for NEWCOMERS in CANADA - if you are LOOKING FOR A JOB

Here are three simple tips when you're a newcomer in Canada and looking for a job. These tips are based from our experience from me and my husband's job hunting experience.
Most of what we hear from the people around us when we got here and even when we were still applying for immigration often tell us "When you get there [in Canada] don't expect to immediately get a job that you like" or "Do not be picky, just grab the first opportunity or the first available job that is offered to you" and "you will start with a minimum paying job, and have another part time job to be able to survive in Canada" In all honesty, those words did not sit well with me, but it encouraged me more to try and see if I can break out of that common expectation.
Fast forward to when we are actually looking for a job, while there is some truth to those statements to some extent, you can always choose the path -- or in this case -- THE JOB that you would like.
When searching for a job, you just have to know what you want and be determined to make it happen.

Hi kim.. I am also going to land firsg te soon in Sasktchewan after getting PR based on SINP nomination. I have some questions plz answer 1) After landing, in how many months we can get our PR card ? 2) which bank is good to open a bank account with zero balanace, no monthly fee

Wow! That’s nice! Congratulations!🥳 The government will process your PR card automatically after you land. We received our PR cards in the mail around/more or less a month after landing. You just need to provide a mailing address at the immigration when you land (in our case, we used my Sister-in-law’s). PR cards will be sent separately; one letter envelope per individual. As for the banks, they usually have a package for newcomers where you don’t have any monthly fee for your first year, but you will be charged with a monthly fee after the 12th month. We opened with RBC and TD when we arrived. Both are good, but RBC has lower monthly charges (after a year) and they gave us higher credit limit on our credit card compared to TD. You also have an option to not have a monthly fee as long as you maintain a certain amount in your chequing account. Most of the banks here have the same set up, you get no fee for a certain period then eventually you will be charged with a monthly fee unless you meet their required amount in your account for them to waive that monthly fee. Only the online banks are the ones without monthly fees (Tangerine, Neo, EQ Bank, etc.)
