I will take a look. Thank you!

Rent in Toronto is on average 43% higher than Calgary, 64% higher than Montréal, 125% more expensive than Gatineau or Québec city, 190% more than Sherbrooke. Vancouver is even worse. I definitely need to research more about that. In the end I just want to find a few locations that we think will fit us, and when the time comes I'll go there first to see which one I like more

To be fair I'm down to do anything. I'd prefere to do translating/interpreting, but I'll have to get licensed in Canada first.

It's good to hear that I don't need those. I do have a LinkedIn account, and I'll update it soon.

We're not sure yet, so I do appreciate all the suggestions in this thread. We were thinking Toronto because of friends that we have there, but I'd rather go to some smaller city with decent Chinese community. I have no problems living in a different country, but I'm worried that it will be difficult for my wife.

FB or instagram aren't going to be useful job hunting

That's good to hear. Thanks for all the help

I majored in Chinese/English translation. Had Chinese-English, English-Chinese translation job for a few years, a few gigs here and there translating and interpreting between Chinese, English, Ukrainian and Russian. Currently teaching ESL/EFL... I feel like I'm all over the place without a proper career path

Thanks, I'll take a look

Can I actually go to a library and ask for some help with the resume? I've heard that it's difficult applying for jobs because lots of CVs are automatically sorted out. Does having social media accounts help finding a job? I've abandoned/deleted fb/Instagram, etc long time ago, and my wife only has some Chinese analogs.

Thanks for the response, and for being so welcoming.

Thanks!

I will definitely look into those places. Thanks!

I gree with you, but my wife's English isn't great. She can get by, but I think she might have problems finding a job.

Thanks for the response. I've heard about the negatives that you're talking about, as those seem to be all over internet. To be honest it does scare me a bit. I'm not sure on where I'd like to go. I'd love to go somewhere like Vancouver or Toronto, so my Chinese wife can have easier time in the foreign country, but the prices do scare me. I'd be happy to hear any recommendations. Thanks again

Thanks!
