Hi,I\'m exploring the possibilities of moving to Canada as my 6-year limit on H1 going to expire in about a year.(I\'m basically from India and have been living in US past 5 years).
I\'m considering the option - Perminant Residency in Canada ,which I heard will roughly take about 6-9months.Also I want to explore opportunities for Software Architects/Programmers.Currently I live in SanJose,California and I\'m paid extremely well.However I\'m not sure about Canadian economy,job opportunities,cost of living.
I would appreciate any pointers to following questions.
1.How is cost of living in Canada?How expensive is Accomodation?Here in California,renting one bed room apartment costs about 1500 US dollars per month...
2.How are the taxes?
3.How are the job opportunities in Canada for Software Architects/Programmers.I\'ve got about 8 years of experience in designing,programming in internet/Java/C++ and other..I tried www.JobsCanada.com but that site not carrying much info...I would appreciate any info regarding this.
4.I\'m still not clear who starts Perminant Residency apllication ..employer or employee himself? Agian,where can I get more info about this.
I\'m currently in confused state not able to decide what to do...Please Help me!!! Share your experience if you have gone thru similar stage and learned some points...
I would appreciate any info/advice/suggestions.
Thanks,
Kumar
