Moving from Halifax to Toronto, But How?

Question

I'm thinking of moving from Halifax to Toronto, but I really don't know where to start. I am a 21 year old female, I have my high school diploma but I'm not in university. So I guess first of all I'm wondering, where would be the best types of places for me to look for a job? Is there anyone who will hire me before I move or am I just pushing it? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for good, cheap one bedroom apartments or a suggestions for a moving company? Anything would be helpful, I'm a little overwhelmed.

Answer 1

There are lots of JOBS for 21 year old women, but what do you plan to do in five or ten years from now? Sorry, I had to ask.



There are lots of good jobs and lots of not so good jobs. It's the worst time of year to be thinking of such a move. Students and many others are flooding the job market.



To answer you question: Student areas can be somewhat inexpensive. Try the housing bulletin boards on college and university websites, craigslist etc. There are many, many jobs for personal assistants, homecare workers, nannies etc. where there is a live in option. Sometimes these types of jobs work out just fine. This might help you on a temporary basis. There are unadvertised jobs for servers and hostesses at restaurants and clubs. That's much more lucrative$$$ But, being hired while you're in Halifax is unlikely.



You can also find shared rides on sites like craigslist. Maybe if you have stuff you can store some of it it in Halifax and just bring absolute essentials.



I notice you say you are "thinking" about moving here. I know a lot of people here who would LOVE to live in Halifax. Why dont you first come for a visit and see if you like it? Maybe arrange a job and a place. If I were you, I'd apply for every student aid, scholarship or bursary and go back to school as soon as possible.



Jobs may be found thru the government website link below. Good luck!

Answer 2

Take only what you need, find a job and stay at a hostel for a few weeks.



OR



Find a job, find someone who needs a roommate immediately, take only what you need. A moving company could cost a lot of money.



Depending on what experience you have, will determine what kind of job you can get. I would reccomend server, theres tons of restaurants and bars in toronto. Also toronto is very expensive and could run you well over 1000$ a month for a tiny apartment. You could always move CLOSE to toronto there is good public transportation and its a little bit cheaper to live.

below specific circumstances i could, it relies upon on your character and your pastimes. in case you like bustling cities, enormous stay shows, and clothier procuring then no, you're able to probable be disenchanted. Halifax is a great adequate city that it has lots to furnish, enormous homes for lots extra value-effective than you're able to discover in Toronto, and somewhat some history. in case you would be attracted to that then specific.
