I agree that some jobs can be found offline easier, but for the majority of job online is the way to go. Searching for job online saves time and make the job searching process a lot easier.

I think it will be wise to advertise your new business, because chances are that in the beginning the business will be very slow.

Hi Tsveta,

Is the Landing fee the same as the Right of permanent residence fee?

$1,000 for a landing fee sounds outrageous to me! What is the purpose of this fee?




Thanks
