3. Overall experience is 10/10 would do it again if I have to. My worst fear was not adjusting to the cold, but surprisingly I very quickly overcame it and I got used to it pretty well. But my goal for immigration is not financial, so I'm pretty happy sitting at a lower position than I was in Malaysia. I've seen a lot of people struggle with this. Don't expect your job to translate equally after immigration in a short time. You will get there at some point, but it will take quite a few years and you will need to be patient and very hardworking.
Personally my quality of life have improved 500%?? compared to living in KL. There are more things to enjoy and I can afford them even though technically I'm not earning as high as I was when I was in KL. Some Egs: I can afford to rent a whole apartment here vs I shared a house with roomates in KL, my car here is fully paid for vs my car in KL was on loan, I have spare money to send home/save vs barely making it meet in KL, I can go walk/jog in the parks no fear of getting robbed/killed/raped, my home don't have to have grill bar windows just to deter thieves, air is cleaner, river is not polluted, recycling and sorting garbage is implemented - I could go on but these are just a few things that strike me the most.

Thanks a lot for sharing and providing this great insight! Even though you had to do survival jobs, you still said this move improved your quality of life by 500% and you would do that again. This is amazing! I am now in the same boat of going through the EE application. I am in my 40's, so my age doesn't help me in points. My wife strongly believes that Canada is a much better country for our kids. I put in my EE in June 2019, but has yet to receive a response. My score was just above the cut off, and I don't have a Canadian degree or a Canadian job offer. BTW, I am in IT. To increase my chances, I have been intermittently applying for Canadian jobs remotely for 5 months now, but have not received any favourable response to date. I guess this is a chicken and egg problem. Without a permit/PR or local work experience, Canadian employers are being a bit conservative. I have also applied through one PNP (provincial program) with Saskatchewan, hoping to increase my chances.3. Overall experience is 10/10 would do it again if I have to.

Do you feel I should do anything more to improve my chances? Thank you once again.
