Hello & Happy Chinese New Year from Malaysia!
Here are some background about myself:-
1. Where I'm currently staying? Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
2. Which industry I'm currently working in? Oil & Gas (Project Engineer, EPCIC & Inspections) Started at Jan 2014
3. Which Degree & School did I graduate from? MSc & BEng in Mechanical Engineering, Loughborough University, UK (Graduated at Dec 2013)
4. What I do during freetime? Brushing up on Public Speaking, Toastmasters
Fellow Malaysians & expats who have managed to settled down in Canada, I'm really looking forward to work (& most likely migrate) there through the newly proposed 'Fast Track Work Programme'. My current plan of action is to gain the necessary experience & certifications in my industry field & IELTS, prior to starting my application within 2 -3 years. Appreciate if anyone could provide me some good pointers to my queries below:-
1. Weekly living expenses & rentals (e.g. Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray, Vancouver, Bull Arm - Newfoundland & Labrador)
2. Recommended medical insurance / plans to sign-up for
3. Other application routes besides 'Fast Track Work Programme' (i.e. from what I know, application period may take up to 2 years)
4. Networking sites other than LinkedIn (i.e. to be in direct correspondence with local employers & provincial development committee)
Thank you.
