Moving to Calgary in May
- Thread starter Codino10
- Start date
Montreal has more humidity - Calgary is drier so most find the cold easier to handle. As well, Calgary has Chinooks - warm wind coming in over the mountains so there are more warm breaks throughout the winter. And no ice storms.
The west is a very different place for easterners. The climate and job prospects are one thing
but the atmosphere is much different. I get to Calgary quite a bit as relatives live there. I have
lived off and on in Alberta over the years though, and it is a lot different than say, BC two different
worlds.
I think the best way to go there is with an open mind and try to fit in with the locals. If you are
hard working and determined you can fit in quickly, that is because Calgary is one of those
younger and modern cities.

How did I miss out on this stupidity?
How's your Devry degree anyway?
Over 1 million people! Holy Fack, you're cultured dude. I'm going out on a limb here but I reckon you might have seen a black person once or twice in your sheltered life (besides the one's your mom bangs).
Degree? He has a certificate...and a stamp on the back of his hand. There's probably some white coats looking for Durry as we speak.
Durry is probably huffing Syncrudes profits as we speak, "Where's Durry", Ohh, he's huffing bitumen and banging a Fort Mac meth head..."
HelloCodino,
I found your post while searching for the same info you were trying to get from the forum one year ago. After four years living in Quebec (Gatineau and Montreal) I’m in the decision making process of leaving a full time job in Montreal to search for job and settlement in Calgary
Spanish is also my mother language, English and French quite good (would say acceptable to succeed in the job place and on the day to day life) I graduated as Mechanical Engineer back in my country of origin and completed a Diploma in Hotel Management. Here in Montreal, I obtained an AEC in Transportation and Logistics in 2011. In allI have over 15 years of combined experience, in Engineering, Management and Logistics but only one year of work in Canada…I would like to pursue my career in Logistics and Supply Chain and I`m planning to enrol one of the existing designations for Supply Chain (CITT OR PMAC).
I would really appreciate having your views, if you finally did the movement, about the job market and how do you see possibilities of integration for a single person in her forties there. Like you, I have been doing my online research and apparently there are plenty of opportunities and tools in place to facilitate the access to the job market but it is never the same reading as hearing from someone who has actually lived the transition. How has it been for you?
Thanks in advance for your comments, and of course comments from other users will be greatly appreciated as well!
I heard investment has sunk and they're having a tough time floating a loan. Rumour is, the darned thing won't hold water....
Not really, I have been more focused on Calgary's job market opportunities...will definitely take a look at it,
Thanks!
