susin, in Montreal, we are about to get 20 centimeters of snow (8 inches).

to a get a lovely idea of the weather, go at http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/qc-147_metric_e.html

For Toronto: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/on-143_metric_e.html

Most people coming from other countries find Canadian weather really cold. This is the hardest part for them. I know that for most of India, weather is warm. do you really want to go outside when it goes up to -45 with the windshield factor in Canada?

Julius, I lived 1 year in one of those pink areas from your map. -55 Celcius with the windshield factor... man, that was cold.

former_member181995 · ‎2009 Jan 07

Yes I was kidding. (Probably now Iu2019m telling lie )

Okay come to your aspirations,Although its not too much time since i came in Canada,But what i judge here many indian Guys are often get job with the Consultancy so for you no worries, here many indian consultancies are broadly working in varies areas.just come here and search. But make sure try to search a job away from North Pole,otherwise Cold suck you out.

All the best,

Cheers

Susin:

Please relax...This is the Coffee Corner...And guys in here tend to be a little acid on newcomers...Nothing had been said in a bad way... -:)

Also, I'm also looking to moving forward to Montreal (Canada) with my family, so I support you in your decision...While I can't deny that coming from India...You're going to get hit by the cold...I'm from Peru, which is kinda sunny, but cold at times...It's going to be hard, but don't let nothing stuck between you and your dreams -;) Specially not this "I drink so much coffee that my brain is damage" guys LOL

If you use code tags in the Coffee Corner, then you have to wash the dishes!

It mucks up the width of the post when it exceed the "normal" code line length, in so far as it exceeds how far the normal code line length exceeds the forum post width.

Rather use the quote tag please...

Back to the topic...

... would you also consider other countries, or does it have to be Canada?

... would you also consider other countries, or does it have to be Canada?

Good.

But Do you know about the Three W of Canada?

Former Member · ‎2009 Jan 08

no i m not . could you please explain

former_member181995 · ‎2009 Jan 08

Work, Weather, Woman (Probably Wine Also), you can't expect which way they would turn.

Former Member · ‎2009 Jan 08

Flame him Susin! I'll round up some of the girls to back you up.

former_member184657 · ‎2009 Jan 08

Yeah thats right use all the 4 W's (Work Weather Women W(h)ine ) to flame him and free him off the 4 W's. That should teach him a lesson.

To answer your actual question, you should go to the nearest Canadian consulate or embassy and ask your question there. You have a better chance of getting the correct answer there than here

I do that...And they told...Read this FAQ, go to the website, and come back when you got everything ready to apply for a visa...Was my shortest visit ever -:( Actually I didn't even walk into the Embassy...

if interested, you can go see completely nude girls legally in Montreal... you can even touch them legally... as long as it is not sexual.

Ask Montreal tourists, they know about this quickly!

marilyn_pratt · ‎2009 Jan 08

BZZZ. You've gone over the limits of good taste. Even for the coffee corner.

And I'm not in a very good mood especially having just read the national salary survey conducted by the elearning guild research. It shows unequivocably that women doing the same job as men earn about 15% less on average. So take care. My hot buttons are triggered and they aren't the kind you refer to here.

Former Member · ‎2009 Jan 08

Marilyn - please don't be so hard on Eric. He was probably just daydreaming and didn't realize that his free hand was typing.

Seriously though, I don't know if the relative wage disparity between men and women is the same in Canada as the figure you quote, but there is another issue that Susin must think about and that is that in Canada, professional designations from out of country are not always recognized. There are a number of foreign MDs here working in menial jobs.

Rob

former_member583013 · ‎2009 Jan 08

No thanks...I'm happily married and got a almost 9 months daughter...

I'm planning to move to Canada for work and living...

marilyn_pratt · ‎2009 Jan 08

Really. This should be called the men's locker room rather than the coffee corner, but okay, I shouldn't admit it but I'm laughing too.

But it's no joke though that gender and cultural discrimination exists in job markets.

I know from personal observation and experience that even in "the enlightened" western countries this is so.

Sadly this brings us back to the taxi driver topic. I've met countless drivers in my career (on my endless training trips over the last decade) who had considerably more education than I. And going back further to my days in Israel, I used to converse with many Russian engineers of considerable academic learning and intellect who were....street cleaners. Being an immigrant is rarely a "fun" experience in many places. Canada might be a good melting pot or absorbing station as a relatively "new" country itself, but checking out the social climate for certain nationals is always a good idea. Also, seeing if there is a good supportive community of people of your country of origin isn't a bad idea either. I've worked with immigrants and been one enough to understand these things a bit.

HI Marilyn,

It is actually a mixed bag and the reasons are complex. Here is a [study |http://blogs.eweek.com/careers/content001/wages/young_women_earn_more_than_men_in_big_cities.html#more?kc=EWKNLEDP080707D] from last year that shows women in their 20s in urban areas are making on average 17% more then men.

Hope that lifts your spirits, Mark.

marilyn_pratt · ‎2009 Jan 08

Your report, from August 2007 isn't all that uplifting. Here is what I read there:

 According to the NCPE (National Committee on Pay Equity), while women's wages have risen in all states since 1989 (from 68.5 to 77 percent in 2006), the typical full-time woman worker does not make as much as the typical man in any state. In Washington, D.C. over the same period, the gap actually increased. The NCPE argues that at the present rate of progress, it will take 50 years to close the wage gap nationwide.

You see, I don't think I'll be doing this job or any other like it in another 50 years from now....

But the article does point out yet another discriminatory factor: age.

Former Member · ‎2009 Jan 08

I don't think it is necessary to come to Eric's defence here, but would like to point out that the statement was made without bias and without any smileys ":-)" (of course, we will probably never know whether Eric was grinning a bit, or had first [consulted with his other colleagues|http://www.oceanspringsarchives.com/j.k.%20lemon%20(1914-1998).jpg] about the appropriateness of the additional information).

You can take from it what you want; when in Canada => avoid Montreal downtown at night, or, whatever...

Regarding the income averages: this is more familiar ground for me.

Far more important for measuring injustice than using averages, is to look into the [genie coeffcient|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient] for the distribution of the income, also within subsets of the dataset. That will give you a much better picture of your "chances" in a new country (economic environment). Try to indentify the attributes of those sub(sub)sets which are creating the "belly" of the co-efficient; these might be skills related, or industry, or social, or political, (even the weather), and avoid those attributes or try to improve them... e.g. training... Influencing the weather is more difficult.

There are some countries which are showing positive GDP outlooks, and healthy distribution co-efficients - hence my question whether other countries would also be considered (not that Canada is bad, at all).

Of course you need to select the subset criteria carefully, to be able to understand it's outcome.

To eliminate the girls in Montreal, the playground bullies, the nerds, as well as the "sugar mamas", and Amit, when making a carefull selection... you need to keep an eye on [whom not to take too seriously|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heteroscedasticity] ...

... also in the internet...

Julius

you can even touch them legally... as long as it is not .....

Ohh kiss without a squeeze!?, For me this would be more embarrassing than any punishment.

So better to stay away.

Just my 2 cents

former_member181995 · ‎2009 Jan 14

Also almost equally cold in Mississauga. Iu2019m afraid about tomorrowu2019s weather forecast.

I heard for cold warning for tomorrow.

Former Member · ‎2009 Jan 14

Aaahhhh - bunch of wusses.

When I was growing up, our mothers would bundle us up in groups of ten, wrapped in caribou hides and put us on sleds pulled by wolves because it was too cold for the dogs.
