I am planning to start job-hunting after i get there too. You are right--most likely, i will start it several months after i get there, to make sure that i am good with the new environment there.

It is so nice of you to offer the referral. I know a referral means a lot for a graduate like me. Most of my colleagues at U of T got referrals from alumni who have been working and got positions even before they graduated. I am one of them. However, since i am leaving Toronto,I have to give up the opportunity here.

Thanks again for your kindness :)
