How does Shipping on Ebay work (Canada)

How does Shipping on Ebay work (Canada)?
I mean, some times it says $8.99 for a (i.e) Magic the gathering booster box, and $62 for shipping for a Modern Painting...http://myworld.ebay.com/art_painting_sculptures/ (those ones it says $62) And this is all in Canada (I live in Canada, so it's not a overseas charge) Kinda confused, help would be appreciated.

Okay, the seller with the paintings is doing something that is really illegal on ebay - that is, selling an item for almost nothing, meanwhile pumping up the shipping price to a ridiculous amount. This is against ebay rules and this seller should be reported to ebay for doing this. Since the paintings are large, they would normally cost about 25 dollars to ship. But the seller has added the value of the painting to the shipping cost. He thinks he is getting away with not paying a larger final value fee to ebay; however, those days are over. Ebay now charges a final value fee on the entire transaction, including shipping. You really should report him to ebay for excessive shipping fees. Ebay will make him correct the fees or ban him from selling on ebay. He gives good sellers a bad name by doing this. And this is just a great example of why you should always read the ad in its entirety and ask questions before bidding, so you aren't surprised in any way once the auction is over.

You should fist find out from Canada's site on how to get a work permit.

You won't get a visa for a teacher, there are too many teachers unemployed already. If you have a Masters in English you should be able to use that site

If you want work as a teacher, here's a tip: start looking in the small towns rather than the big cities. It's almost impossible to get a teaching job in Saskatoon, for example. But it seems like small town schools are hiring left and right. I know many many people who live in Saskatoon but commute to small communities outside the city to teach. I'm not positive if the other major cities (Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, etc) are the same, but I imagine they are. Small towns are booming in this province, and therefore requiring more and more teachers. I wish you the best of luck! :)

Yahoo! Answers is not a job hunting website. The average person reading your question will NOT be able to help you find a job. We either must be an employer who is looking for someone, or be willing to sponsor you to come over and find employment. I do not wish to insult you, but there are some fundamental differences in the quality of education in Pakistan compared to Canada. You would have impressed me more with having done your Masters in English if you had actually used correct punctuation and sentence structure, such as what I would have expected from someone with your degree. I'm sure any school in Canada that considers hiring a teacher for English would expect that person to have an impeccable grasp of the language and demonstrate that in their letters and emails. All I can suggest to you is that you review the Canada Immigration website again. It clearly states the requirements for immigrating to Canada. You must have skills that are in demand here (Skilled Worker Program), you must have enough money to start your own business (Entrepeneur and Self-Employed Persons), or must have a family member already here who is willing to sponsor you. Otherwise there are very few options. It is very hard to enter Canada under refugee status, or as a provincial nominee. If you can find a job on the Job Bank of Canada, and the company is willing and able to employ you, then you have a chance of immigrating here. But I highly doubt that you would qualify as an English teacher. Perhaps you should consider a profession that also employs similar skills? Have you considered applying as a Translator? With many new Canadians arriving from Pakistan and India, there may be a bigger need in the government for English-Punjabi or English-Urdu services. Hope things do work out for you. Good luck.

Being an american and working for several multinational firms with employees all over the world including Canada and Australia, I used to think Canada was the best place because of proximity to american markets and an abundance of natural resources and good relations with america. But I've changed my opinion over the last decade and think Australia is better. Not by a whole lot but a significant amount. Canada is old feeling They like to keep things the same and all the innovative people seem to migrate down here to the US. They should be rolling in money with their oil and timber and ores and gold but seem to stall quickly when US suffers. The government doesn't seem to be able to put it's natural resources to work to make all of it's citizens wealthy. In technology, there is no tech city where creative solutions are burgeoning Australia on the other hand seems so much more optimistic about their future. Plus they are in a great location to world markets and have abundant resources. Plus they are an island continent so enemies are far away and not likely to up their defense spending much. The engineers I have met seem to have a confidence that is lacking in Canadians. They think they can fix any problem and also seem to get into their work. They have a sense of humor and value education. They know their nation is getting more prosperous and have the attitude the sky is the limit. Even the immigration bureau seems to want you more and makes you feel valuable if you are an engineer. They will tell you straight out what skills they need and where the shortages are. In a nutshell, Australia beats out Canada on good attitude , technical prowess is on the rise, and youthful thinking and more willing to take chances on projects They both are great countries with healthy balance sheets. They both have low populations with huge areas of land. Canada has probably 3/4 of it's land in areas too cold for most people to live in permanently and practically no beaches for sun worshipers. The point to this is they don't build roads, buildings and even dams where the people aren't. So Canada's population has pretty much stagnated by the border cities by US with the exceptions of Calgary and Edmonton. Anyway, this isn't to put Canada down at all. I think it is a fantastic country also. They have a healthy financial system and health care and good schools. And if they would start selling more of their resources to other countries and get more basic research facilities into place for new industries they could be number one easy in my book. You can't be to wrong whether you chose Australia or Canada. Like I said, I give Australia a slight edge mainly based on good attitudes towards the future. The population rate is growing in Australia a little faster than Canada, and with more population more roads, buildings water systems and sewage facilities need built. Plus Australia is quite a bit closer to India for those flights to visit relatives. Australia is warm with great potential for solar power and wind energy from coastal areas, some undeveloped hydroelectric potential and access from all sides to china , south America, Indonesia , India etc.

Canada I suppose coz it has a higher annual national income, this means more construction, jobs and ... has more population and higher rate of growth.
