Lucky Duck

Okay, seems I am blessed with the best luck in history. Or something. It’s been less than a month since I arrived to Canada, and when I first got here, things looked pretty grim. Remember?

Now, let’s go through this quickly. To get a life there are certain things you need.

- Get an ID (check)
- Get a job (check)
- Get a home (check)

All that in less than a month. Incredible? More like the best luck this century!

I scored a basement apartment for 500$CAD a month. And am working as a Web Designer for 13$CAD the hour. No benefits but heck it’s a job right? My working hours are from 11am to 6pm too, which is crazy amazing for a nocturnal person like me, it means I don’t have o get up at 6 in the morning!

And if I don’t like how it’s going, in two months I can apply (and practically ensured contract) at Peel Police as Help Desk Analyst, with any training that may require for free, and an entry 18/hr plus benefits of working for the government are the best.
