Those applying for Canadian PR and planning to land in Ontario might be interested to know this website: http://settlement.org/ The discussion forum section in that website is quite helpful too.

Your mailbox is full. Let me know when you have space and I'll send again.

I wasn't aware as well until my friend told me about it. He was on a distribution list. Will send you the details thru DM.

Mostly HK in the 80s who conquered Van. New wave of PRC conquering Van in recent 10 years now. It's gotten so bad that I know people who left Van for Toronto because of lack of good jobs there and the expensive realty. Globe and Mail did a recent coverage of how Van realtors got greedy and used...

All's good on my end. I'm in Ontario. Half wishing I had Vancouver as my backyard but the property prices there are ridiculous. On the bright side, many interesting places in/around Ontario to visit.

Mainly economic reasons. 33 million in population for a landmass that rivals the US at 300 million. Every province needs or wants newcomers. The immigration criteria is tough enough as it is and being a newcomer without that much vaunted "Canadian experience" puts you at a disadvantage. So those...

Thanks GD. This forum helped me greatly back then, listening to the doc share his journey. And several others too. I only wish more forumners would post their thoughts and journey too.

I am late to the party. Welcome back, Scroobal. I'm one of those Canadian Singaporeans who's been in the woodwork for a while. Posting again because you're back. There was an SG50 party recently in Canada (Mississauga specifically). I had been invited by a friend to tag along. SG High Comm...

Well, you'll never see the Straits Times cover a report against the government the way Globe & Mail does. The freedom of the press here is so refreshing compared to Singapore and I appreciate the diversity of opinions and coverage.

My Canadian friends have absolute disdain for the Harper government and express it vocally. I was a little taken aback by how vehement they were as I'm still learning about the various parties.

There was a Pasar Malam just last Sunday in Mississauga organized by the Singaporean Malaysian Association.

I look back at the last few years I've been in Canada and think of how this thread contributed to my preparation tremendously and I am thankful for it. Now when I look back at *Singapore* from halfway across the world, I feel like I don't recognize the majority of Singaporeans who respond in...

Yorkville is prime downtown residential and shopping area. Similar in standing to our Orange Grove Road residences behind Orchard. Rent ranges from CAD$1900 onwards for 1 bedroom condos, CAD$2600 onwards for 2/3 bedroom suites.

Toronto Chinatown supermarkets at Spadina and Dundas stock the following that I recall: - Prima Taste spices (hainanese chicken rice, laksa, nasi lemak, mee goreng, etc) - Glory Catering Kaya (2 types: the normal pandan and the golden colour Honey type) - Yeo's (Malaysia) Chicken Curry ready to...

Don't really know but I'll check out that area. Heard there's a smaller Chinatown that stretch of main road. I'm real suaku about east of DVP area. Btw, I went to Lion City restaurant in Mississauga - food is very close to home taste. Have you tried it?

I was there on Saturday. Jogged all the way to Molson Amphitheatre and turned back east again. Went to Queen and Bathurst on Sunday and it was absolutely crowded but beautiful, balmy day. Yes the hail was a joke actually - it didn't really happen in downtown. Maybe the east had it more.

Environment Canada issued a thunderstorm alert today but it fizzled out for a few curtains of rain. The spring flowers were really beautiful, especially along the waterfront parks during the weekend.

Local, "born-and-bred" Singaporeans. We have yet to, and may likely never, have a large enough population of Singaporeans who can think and act differently to ensure the survival of the country for future generations. As much as people want to assign blame to SG politics, there is the larger...

The irony of the statement is that they "...must be allowed..." No difference from everyone else who "...must be allowed..." Whatever faction or occupation Singaporeans belong, the majority will not stand up for their rights. The average Joe can throw eggs at the lawyers and vice-versa to no...
