Thanks. Appreciate the help. Have sent you a PM. I had not done too much research on Edmonton, but I'll probably look at it a bit more. How's the transit situation there? Would prefer not to have to drive if possible. Also, do you happen to know what's the IT job situation in Edmonton...

Congrats man. I'm intending to try it out in Canada within the month. But unfortunately in my case, I will have to do the family splitting thing for the moment as my youngest is still too young to travel. It's quite impressive that you can commit to a house right now. As for me, I'll...

Hehe... don't think we haven't considered this. From my MIL's reaction, any time we bring up migration, her face start to turn sour and the volume of her voice increase already. The thing is, having traveled to Canada, we know that there are significant Chinese populations around the big...

I'm currently exploring these options for banks in Canada. May I ask which bank is suitable if there is a need to remit money to Singapore on a regular basis? I would assume that I'll need an international bank for this purpose while using a Canadian bank for local banking / daily usage. Any...

I'm now facing the same situation, except that it's my mom-in-law who's really against us migrating to Canada. My parents in Malaysia are actually encouraging us to try it out. I can't really blame my mom-in-law as she has been taking care of my daughter and is probably not ready to let go...
