Dear Marcel,

How are you doing? How is your life there in Toronto? Sorry for having been absent for a while, due to the IELTS exam, I have been with full attention and time focused on studying English. As result, I got some news I want you to know.

I got a good grade and because of that I received not only the permanent resident Visa, but also an offer of job in your city. That is really amazing, but as I am well settled here with my wife, that also works in a great stable and well paid job, I am tensed of leaving to seek this opportunity, and maybe you can help me with some information from a person that already lives there, and had faced the same questions I have now.
In the first place, can you tell me about the cost of living there? Is it easy to live with an engineer salary? How hard is to find a Job with our kind of University Degree?

I will be glad if you can share you view, this certainly will help me to decide.

Yours faithfully,
Viegas
