Today, I took the day to solve practical stuff. Not that I was not solving anything, but it was a good day to organize some burocracy. I had to change my address in the bank, sending some emails, call my internet service and so on. One of the things I did was asking for my assurance, while I'm not working.
Q: "But, Isis, didn't you quit? How can you ask for assurance emploi?"
A: That's the thing: I fit in one of those categories where you can actually ask, as I am the company and my "conjoint" found a job in a city far away from Montréal. So, in the meanwhile, I can stay at home organizing all the things and I earn some Government money for that. Good, right?
Of couse, there's some conditions for this: you have to prove you are really trying to find a job (Emploi Québec is good for that, specially if are an immigrant), that you did nothing wrong in your last job and you worked at least 52 weeks last year. So, I filled the papers and cross the street, going to Emploi Québec.
First good surprise: lots of jobs, no one in the waiting room. I was the only one in the waiting line. So, I would say one of the advantages of moving to a small city is this: almost no concorrence. Even if you tried everything and you have an heterogeneous CV as me, you can possibly found a good job here.
They are really nice with you here. I went to Emploi Québec and people were so polite, even my mother-in-law was impressed. You have to fill a file with all your data and they will call for a interview, probably with someone from the immigration. Here in Canada, I learn to trust in Government, the oposite of my country, where everything from the Government is a strugle. To ask for my assurance, for example, they already did all the papers online with the companies I worked for. I just have to fill some papers to say I want them to pay me and the best of my last 18 months paycheck, so they can pay me more or less the same amount. Almost too good to be true - the good part is, yes, it's true.
