wah noone ah? canada is so ulu ah

Canada not ulu but far, ppl want to be close with their family. Rather move to OZ or NZ.

Study too, even when it was as cheap as NUS or NTU back in 1990s still ppl shy away.

Shortest route to being a Canadian PR is to be a farmer in Saskatchewan. That state is the only state in Canada which only requires 1 year of work to be eligible for PR.. the rest need 2. To increase your chances, farming is highly in demand there. Quebec is the worst since you need to know French...

Had a friend from Saskatchewan. Apparently everyone there owns a rifle to shoot coyotes stealing sheep or porcupines harassing the cows. True story.

How to become a farmer in Canada?
:D

Ya its really very far away else I might have stayed there :(

Didn't know in the 90s, the school fees were on par with NTU/NUS. When I was there, my school fees were 18K CAD/2 semesters. And NTU/NUS was like 6K. :s13:

was the best summer-autumn/moment of my life :o
if such unfortunate incidences never happen i could have possibly change citizenship and lived there.. instead im waiting for my ns letter :s27::s27::s27:
anyways i cant help much since i went there when i was about 10 years old, lol.. but i do remember where.. my so-called "stepdad" (altho i consider him my only dad, complicated) owned a number of acres there so he had a house built a stones throw away from his step-fathers place, lol.
was very peaceful, could do just about anything a kid my age wanted to do.. drove tractors, get stung by bees, dip into the lake and make friends with canadian chiobus :love:

where we lived was on the outskirts of fredericton, new brunswick. quite ulu, so much privacy, nth like sg :vijayadmin:
rmb taking the ferry to gagetown with my dads car onboard. sigh~ :(
oh henry bars were the best :)

australia seems to be a much popular choice....canada seems to be really popular with hongkongers, taiwanese, vietnamese....if more singaporeans are there, prob there will be more asian food choices too

There are a ton of Asian food choices along with Asian supermarkets such as T&T. Singaporean food is lacking, though...there was one in the downtown Toronto Chinatown but it closed about 4-5 years back.

You really need to know French if you intend to work in Quebec, not so much in Montreal. Discrimination is pretty high in some places.

actually what are the options for people to migrate to canada, work is hard to get unless you have experience, besides being farmer i think the fastest way is through education

Yeah, education is probably the best way or marrying a Canadian. Farmer is not much of an option for SGs.

Is Lion City @ Mississauga still around? There's also this small stall at a food court in Markham. Pacific mall used to have this overpriced Singaporean restaurant as well :s13:

Vancouver is already the warmest city in Canada. Coldest I've experienced there is -8 . Warmest is about 27 .. the rain and overcast skies can be quite gloomy in non-summer months.

South of Vancouver there is Richmond, East Asian majority. Toronto is better for ethnic integration imo.. Vancouver still quite cliqueish / groupie
