I was wondering how the business is up there? I may have an oppertunity to move to Toronto. I currently work for an authorized dealer for tmobile, sprint and alltel. I would like to stay in the same field for another job up there. Is it hard to get a job in the wireless/cell phone field?

any info would be greatly appreciated.

thank

GA!
I was in marrieta for a good 3 weeks last summer, didnt get a chance to swing by forged though

The mobile communication industry is booming here, so I do not see any reason why you wouldnt be able to find work.

You can try these regional/local sites to see if anything is available for you.

Is there a big music scene in Toronto? like indie/folk/punk?

 

yes, the music scene is pretty big in Toronto.

I am sure you will be very surprised when you visit T.O for the first time

 

awsome. thanks so much.

*fingers crossed that everything works out*

what are the gas prices like and renting/home owning? I was think of get a rundown house/foreclosour house and fixing it up.(Im into the whole 'do it yourself' thing )

 

and Im not too familiar with the area(I plan on exploring when I get up there)
are there any towns near Toronto where it may be cheaper to live?

 

Gas price, real estate, anything, all living expenses is a LOT more expensive than the states. Be prepared.

I know my family wasn't when we moved up here from the States.

 

-Gas prices are higher then what you would be paying in GA.

-If your going to rent, you have many options. Downtown/Uptown your looking at playing anywhere from $750-$1500 (ie: basement apartment, condo, house)

-You can def find a "fixer-upper" somewhere in or around the GTA (Greater Toronto Area)
Take a look at:

Expect to pay at least $350k for a decent sized home.


This pic from the MLS.ca site will give you a decent outline of how toronto is laid out...

To give you an example:
Oakville to Central Toronto is about 45min - 1 hour driving.

Have fun searching!

I think my area went up in prices as well. I believe it is at least 350k now. N03 I believe
