moving to canada by evelyn
hi, Am Eva from Kenya in Africa.I have just been offered a job by Walmart stores in Mississauga.I dont know anything about the country and the people. Would a salary of six thousand be adequate for me to make it there?(they are providing ...
Well that sounds like a much better expat package than what I had assumed--I thought you meant yearly. If it's monthly, then definitely more than a liveable wage. Ask for dental insurance. Health insurance is basically free ( via tax dollars) in ... Read More

I'd be very careful with that job offer. I agree with Oreneta, $6000 per year even with accommodation (and what kind of accommodation is it?) is ridiculously low. Even with the reputation that Walmart has for treating its employees like crap, that ... Read More

Pia, thanks for adding this info. I didn't know what the procedure was for foreign teachers coming to Canada. I see from your blog that you're in Newfoundland--your photos are beautiful. Aggie, I wonder if there are exchange programs or special ... Read More

I have no idea about getting a visa to work in Canada (being Canadian) but if you have a masters in education and can teach French you shouldn't have much trouble finding a job in many regions of the country. Check ... Read More
Teaching English in Hanoi by ManinHanoi
I would definitely recommend Hanoi as a place to live and teach English. It is well paid here (between $10 - $24 an hour) and the cost of living is relatively cheap. For example a 4 bedroom house can be rented for US $500 a month, food can be ...
