Im moving from Dubai to Ottawa after 5 years in UAE. I think you understand when i say that life in Dubai is super challenging but..a part of your heart will always be missing Dubai. Ottawa is my next station and I already feel that its home for me. Thanks for this video.
Best advice is to make enough savings to start your life here. The first 6 months is so crucial so you’ll really need a strong financial savings to support your stay here. Goodluck!
Hello there . So I was thinking about Canada for a while now . I’m from Romania (Europe) and I was very confused about the life in North America . In Europe it’s difficult bc I speak only English and UK is very expensive for everyone to live in . And I was thinking about Canada . My question is how can I get there and how long will it take me to get the visa if the country has one? And how to get there when u have nobody there ? That’s my question . I’m a bit scared bc im just 20 yrs old and idk what to do ...
Since you’re young, student visa might be the best option for you. Try to check the immigration website and you’ll find out how to get here as a student. Good luck!
Awesome video 🤟, what's it like to mortgage a house? E.g interest rates house of a house e.g 3 bedroom, is there lots of technology jobs for consultants and universities.
I think it’s a good idea, I’ve met a lot of students here in Ottawa and they love being here. Vancouver always attracts a lot of students but the cost of living is very expensive so some opt for Ottawa to study.
Hi, are you guys still living in Ottawa? My husband will be moving there next month for work. Just wanted to ask things or ask for some tips about living there. 😊 It would be great if we know some Pinoy community we can connect with 😊
Thanks for your video. I have been pondering to move from the GTA to Ottawa, being an immigrant myself approaching 3yrs in and out of the country, I am thinking this is a good place to settle down. GTA real estate is crazy expensive, I dare say ridiculous, crazy and sad.
Yes, you were right. It’s so impossible to purchase a property in GTA nowadays. Even in Ottawa, house prices got higher during this pandemic. Crazy. You should check the market now before it’s gets crazier here. Goodluck with your move!
I think so but it depends of legal profession, if it’s a law clerk role then I don’t think you have to be bilingual. Not so sure but you could check the vacancy requirements, they would usually inform the applicant if bilingualism is a main requirement.
@@TineInCanada Hello po Maam Kristine..😊 Super tuwa ko po napanood ko po tong vlog nyo po ate.. Sobrang helpful po..🙏🙏🙏 i am an emergency room nurse po dto sa pinas ate pero i am coming next year to Ottawa for psw course po, september 2022 intake.. May i kindly ask how's the PR application there in Ottawa po?.. is it much better than in toronto or other cities?.. 🙏 Thank you in advance po maam 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Based from my understanding, since Montreal is under Quebec province, it would have different set of rules. I have a previous colleague from Montreal and I’ve learned that daycare is way cheaper compared than in Ottawa. This could be an advantage for young families. However, keep in mind that it’s a french speaking province, it’s more beneficial to stay there for french speakers or bilingual. Housing is also more affordable compared here in Ottawa. You may stay in Gatineau area if you wish to work in Ottawa since it’s very close to downtown.
Hello, Thank you for the video ! The only thing that keeps me awake at night is how will I find a Job in Ottawa. I am a perfect bilingual and i have experience of more than 15 years working in different regions of the world. Does it take a lot of time to find a decent job in Ottawa ? How salaries look like ? for a family of 5 including two childs and an infant how much is needed on a monthly basis ? Thanks in advance !
Thank you. I would recommend you to watch the recent episode which talks about the monthly expense here in Canada. It would give you an idea of how much you should earn in order to survive and start your new life here with your family. Being a bilingual is a great advantage here in Ottawa, you can even land a goverment job. My husband is a bilingual and it took him 3months before landing a job. It really depends on the kind of jobs you were looking for. Nevertheless, if you’re open to any job opportunities and very determined then you’ll be okay too. Due to the pandemic, it’s also understandable that finding jobs would be a bit tough nowadays. Goodluck with your plans. I’ll make sure to create more helpful videos about job searching here in Canada.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve heard QC has cheaper cost of living. But since our provincial nomination is ON, we don’t have any choice but to stay in ON province.
Hello, loved your video, thank you for sharing. Could you give an idea if its good for me to move to ottawa in terms of job, my work background is Marketing (Masters degree with 3 years of non-canadian marketing work experience) , so can i expect to get a job in marketing feild with no knowledge of FRENCH , please let me know. Thank you. :)
Thanks for your support on my channel. Honestly, opportunities for newcomers always comes with a stroke of luck and hardwork. I’ve spent my 10 yrs in marketing before coming to Canada but I’ve explored other options since I feel trying something new and out of my comfort zone. Luckily, I was able to find my other core and happy to pursue a new career when I moved here. You could try to explore Marketing here then try also to think of plan b if things won’t work out as you planned. Canada has plenty of opportunities for newcomers, you just have to work hard for it and eventually you’ll find your happy place.
@@TineInCanada thank you so much for taking out time and replying in detail, much appreciated! That makes you one of my best RU-vidrs. Yes i will take your advice in to consideration and look beyond the box.
Yes! They have a Facebook page called ‘Filipino Community Resource of Ottawa’. There are also a couple of religous pinoy communities like SFC, CFC and Bo Sanchez Kerygma family.
Thanks for your comment. Check out my interview with the realtor to find more details about the housing market in Ottawa. Compared to Toronto, Ottawa still offers better housing rate. Bought my home less than 500k here in Ottawa, not bad at all. If only the winter here isn’t too cold then Ottawa is almost perfect!
Thank you so much for replying. Do you think it’s possible to find a 1 bedroom apartment around $800? I will be moving in a few months to canada and all I see on the internet is over $1000.
