Hi everyone

I am a new zealander currently living in Edmonton, AB but things aint really working out here. the people i live with treat me like absolute S**t but i have a girlfriend that lives in Surrey, BC now i wanna move closer to her. I've been here in canada 5 months and am only on a one year working permit but am looking to extend it when it expires i am currently contracted to a company here in Edmonton which is willing to sponser me to stay in the country. In order to have the same stabillity in BC i'd obviously need a stedy well paying job that will also be willing to sponser me to stay as well as somewhere to live, seeing as i dont know anybody other than my girlfriend and her family there its hard for me to find these things (Living with them/getting married is not an option) also terms and conditions of my stay limit me in job options i can not take any education/training of any kind, am not able to work in hospitallity or teaching/childcare, or in the medical field. i am only 19 years old and need help desperatly please someone answer my call.

thanks heaps, KiwiInCanada.

You are young, and so much still awaits. I say, calm down. First off, if you are having a hard time with your roommates, get out of the situation. You need to give yourself the motivation to start looking for a new place, start by telling your landlord you're moving out (this will get the ball rolling). Then, when you are living in a healthy environment, the whole world will open up, and you will feel better, and the decision making process will be easier.


Hope the best for ya
