Hi Salma !

Can you be me more explicit because I don't understand your piece of advice. What is the link between the fact that he is spanish and that Canada is not the appropriate place for him.

Have you heard about the swine flu Salma ? It's almost everywhere in the world and not only in Canada. The risk is high in England too.

Again what is the link between swine flu and cold weather ? Maybe i'm mistaken , if so, explain it to me please. Thank you.

Bye !

Hi Their,

I live in Canada since 1986. It's a wonderful country. If you are confortable in English, come to Toronto. I know most Moroccans go to Montreal because of the French but here in Toronto, you will have more Job opportunities. But depending on your work experience and education. Cold, yes it's cold. Depending on your priorities. Any other questions, I will be happy to help you.

Don't worry, swine Flue is everywhere now.

thank u Sandra
thank you for animating me to go there, but as you see my nglish is not so good, but i know that I have to improve it. A bout my work, I don t know what oportunities i will have there,, because I have just experience inteaching spanish. I know that its not enough but I have to try it.
Thanks Sandra

Hi Hamouda,

First of all you are welcome.

Second just believe on yourself because no one will do it at your place.
Then If I have to say something about Canada is that: it’s not easy but nothing (absolutely nothing) is impossible.
I am here for almost 6 years and this is the right decision I ever did in my life. I like this country. Things were not so easy as people could think, I struggled a lot before to have a normal life and now I am living a quite good life al hamdoulillah .

So to be honest you need about 2 years before to find you way. Canada is one of the most attractive countries in the word, it ranked always among the 4 top of the Human Development countries in the world (according to the UNESCO), so that means a loooot !

You can find a good quality of life where ever you go, but it also depends on your way of life. So nothing could be expensive as long as you are working and have a normal life. When you think about how much things cost (expenditure) before to say it’s expensive , compare to your salary : you got the point ?

You said that you speak Spanish, well that’s good, but not enough. I will explain:
It’s good, because here after French and English, Spanish and Chinese are the two most used languages in Canada, maybe if you think about teaching Spanish it could be a good deal for you. (Plus your own job). Think about it my friend.

It’s not enough: because there are two official language in Canada : French and English (mostly English). Let me be clear, if you do not speak English you will find hard time my dear. Believe me I know what I am talking about.

The Work : it depends on your field of activity, your diploma, and moreover : you attitude. The more your attitude is posisive the better you are and the luckiest you will be to find a position.
To clarify this purpose, I always said to people: it’s not lots of money neither a great Résumé (High caliber in your CV, academic background etc…) that could help you to have success in Canada. The only thing that could really makes you reach the real Canadian life and succeed is YOUR Attitude (those factors that are integrated in your personality and your behave against any experiences bad or good). Because those Attitudes will never be obsolete (as your resume) and will never dissipate or go to waste (as money).


Montréal, Toronto, others...:People who are comfortable with french choos Montreal, and those with englis choose Toronto, and only adventurous choose the others. There is also life in Québec city, Sherborooke, trois-rivières, gatineau, (those are in Frenc area , Quebec province), and there is also life, in Ottawa, Kingston, Halifax, Vancouver, calgary, Victora, Régina, etccc...

Cold: yes Canada it’s a cold country. Nobody deny it, but remember this :
It’s only heads and pockets when they are empties that you feel the real cold: when people talk about things and know how to deal with it and you feel alone do not even know what they are talking about and how they know all that… then you feel a terrible cold. It’s also when you don’t have enough money to feed your sweet child and even by trying hardly to scratch the end of your draw and pocket and find nothing to put on table that you will feel the real cold.

The warm of human rights of this great country will make you forget the cold weather.

dear Kabil
let me to thank you for yopur patience and your informations, It seems very logical. You have a cummon sense and i agre with you in all what you said. the biginning is always ificult.
Thank you to for animating me to decide myself and to try my luck there.

For me Wither is not a problem, i am living in north of Spain and here it s raining all time. maybe not so cold.

I Request permission of Travailleur qualifié. I don t know what chance i will have , and neither ho many time i need to wait for their OK ?

I don t know if there is another way to do it, beacuse I don t like to wait alot and to lose time. I lost enough time in my life hahaha

I think that i can to come there to spend 6 months without visa because i have spanish citizenship, but i don t know if I can to resolve something there during those 6 months, or if is possible to stay there and to request permission from there.

I hope you understand my english. it s bad sorry

Si I think you soon and i hope you luck in your life
Happy Ramadan

I have a question, how big is the Moroccan community in Canada.

Hi SBS2000

Some statistics accredit that the Moroccan community living in Canada is for about than 46,287 souls, and it's the largest of North African origin.
Over the past three years, more than 11,000 Moroccans were arrived to Canada as permanent residents, while 7,500 others have been admitted as temporary workers, according to official data.

39,474 are in Quebec.

I sidh you good luck hamouda

46,287 is not that much, small community.
