How much does a two-bedroom apartment in Vancover?
Q. How much would it approximately cost for a two bedroom apartment/condo in Vancouver?
I'm not looking for anything fancy, but nothing old, slum-like either and the neighborhood should be safe enough to roam freely at night and shouldn't be too far from downtown. I'm interested in Fairview or Burnaby.
What would be the price range for an apartment like that? (to rent and to buy respectively)

A. Renting a 2-bedroom apartment in Burnaby will set you back at least $1100 per month. The rents in Vancouver go up from there.
Condos would cost you around $300,000 as a minimum in Burnaby. In Vancouver the prices will be over $400,000.

Q. I am a Lebanese student willing to study in Canada.What is the cheapest university that I can apply to?
A. In addition to the above answers, I will directly suggest a university for you to look into.
Winnipeg has 2 universities:
-The University of Winnipeg (Primarily Undergrad)
-The University of Manitoba (Offers a wide variety of graduate and professional programs (i.e. Medicine) in addition to Undergrad programs, those undergrad programs including Nursing, Social Work, and Engineering).
The University of Winnipeg is always rated as one of the top primarily undergraduate schools in Canada.
Winnipeg has the best of both worlds. Tuition is affordable and reasonable, although not the lowest in the country, AND so is the cost of living. Together, this makes Winnipeg a viable otion.
Although Winnipeg is not as large as Vancouver or Toronto (Winnipeg has about 700,000 people), it does have many parks (Assinaboine Park is top notch, and has a zoo) , cultural events (i.e. Folklorama), theatres, restaurants, and places to explore. The Forks, Corydon, and Osbourne Village are trendy places to walk, shop, and eat. St. Boniface, St. Vital Park, and Wellington Crescent are beautiful ares for walking in the Sumemr.
Winnipeg is generally very safe as long as you avoid the "bad" areas...like any other larger city. When you move, people will usually show you where to avoid going (i.e. The West end, North end, Downtown at night, etc.).
Winnipeg has managed to avoid the HUGE boom in increased renting costs, although housing prices have increased. Renting a 1 bedroom apartment in Winnipeg may set you back $475-$650 depending on which area you live, but that same apartment in Vancouver, Saskatoon (huge increase in rent in the last year), or Toronto may cost you $800-$1200.
Winnipeg also have a very strong immigrant community as well. I am not sure how many Lebanese people reside there, but you may be able to find out more information on the Internet. Winnipeg is known as being "cultural friendly". Winnipeg has many ethnic restaurants and events. Even though you are just visiting, perhaps this would appeal to you.
If you are looking for excitement, then yes, be prepared to spend big money and go to UBC, McGill, Laval, or University of Toronto. These are located in Provinces with the "big" major cities.
But if you are willing to give a good sized city on the Prairies a shot (if does get very cold in the Winter!), then Winnipeg is a good choice.
The key to liking Winnipeg is to go out and explore it. There is lots to offer if you know where to look.
Right now you need to go the websites of the different schools you are considering. They will usually tell you how much each credit hour costs. If not, call. Then look up apartments in that area and rank them. You need to find a place that offers BOTH decent tuition, AND a lower cost of living. Also, some schools allow scholorships for International Students. Look into that. The University of Regina caters to IN students. U of R is also a nice school if you don't mind living in a smaller city (200,000). Renting costs have gone up in Regina, but they are not as bad as Saskatoon. Regina is a pretty, very friendly little city.
Good luck with your choice!

Can I use my American CNA license in Canada?
Q. I am considering moving to Canada next year after my 21st birthday. I want to become a permanent Canadian citizen. But I am in school for CNA. I am wondering if I could use my CNA license in Canada without having to take the class all over again. Also, what are the ghetto/slum parts of Canada (the parts I'm trying to stay away from), the average cost of a one bedroom studio/monthly rent.
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. A US CNA license is only valid in the US.
In Canada, you'd have to be licensed whichever Canadian Province or Territory you settle in.
And any other Province or Territory if you end up moving around from one to another.
The following is a lengthy but informative quote I found for you from a forum for nurses:
"Health care in Canada is a federally regulated, provincially administered responsibility; each province has its own rules, methods and goals. obtaining a license in one province does not automatically entitle you to one in another. Our colleges of nursing don't care one bit if you've passed the nclex, because it doesn't mean anything in canada. to be a Canadian registered nurse or licensed practical nurse, you have to pass the Canadian registered nurse exam (crne) or the Canadian licensed practical nurse exam (clpne). studying for the nclex then writing the crne isn't wise, because the exams are very different... if you're coming to Canada, do it Canada's way.
Canada's health care system is a high-tech environment and the scope of practice for nurses is very broad. We nurses do a lot of things here that aren't even taught to nurses in other countries. If your education is assessed and found lacking, it's because you won't have the necessary skills to function independently in our environment.
Several provinces and all three territories are now utilizing alberta's substantially equivalent competence (sec) assessment in cases where there are concerns regarding the suitability of an individual's education or experience.This assessment will highlight any shortfalls and ensure that applicants meet the minimum standards to which all nurses are held...
"When a province assesses an ien's education, it compares it to that of a new graduate from a local nursing program. Everyone is held to the same standard, and the bar is set fairly high. We're proud of our health care here, and want to be sure that providers are competent to function at the same level as a locally educated person. It's nothing personal."

As for ghettos/slums, Canada doesn't actually have much that's comparable with US ones.
Places we think of as "the hood" are ordinary middle-class neighbourhoods by US standards.
Rent depends on location.
Vancouver's now the most expensive city in North America to call home.
Toronto is Canada's largest city, and rents vary wildly depending on which parts of the city a person wants to live in.
Towns tend to be cheaper, but ones near major cities aren't.
Best advice is to narrow your search to a specific Province or Territory and then look up rents in the various cities and towns to get a feel for what the costs are like.
