Hi,

I'm planning on travelling to Canada in November to work, ski and see as much of the country as my pay will afford. I will be a new graduate and plan on working for about 3 months. Can anybody give me and idea of the types of jobs I'd be able to get, how much I can expect to be paid, and an the costs of living out there.

Thanks

Ruth

Vancouver is a large cosmopolitan city. There are jobs available in all sectors. It is a fairly expensive city and the taxes are murder.

We will be reaching Canada on work visa in June. I thought finding a job was an easier task and expense very less compared to the UK (Thats where i am from Native of India, at present doing business in UK).
