Q: Cheapest flights to Canada and back?

I usually use Expedia, and just try different dates to choose the best / cheapest flight.

Anybody have any other suggestions for cheap flights?

We are quite used to internet search sites but I have a suggestion:

            Go to the Air Canada website and find a contact number. Phone them directly and give them your estimated travel time. They may surprise you by finding the lowest possible price available. 

I have done this and was impressed when the Air Canada Customer Service calculated a way to add an extra flight for a very very low price. 

 

They are partnered with Air China so don't be surprised if you will board an Air China airplane. Your ticket will show you 'Air China/Air Canada' partnership. 

 

You may also look at kayak.com  some say is pretty good.

I also use Cheapoair and Mobissimo.com. The rates change all the time, seasonally from Dec to March(?) is the cheapest. Summer is the highest.

I use http://www.hipmunk.com/

 

It will list every possible flight and the best price.

 

i usually look for a direct flight with Air Canada but if you don't mind lay-overs and tiny seats with crappy food then a Chinese airline will be cheaper...but they are all listed on Hipmunk so you can choose.

 

Expedia is not that cheap anymore...IMO.

Skyscanner.com or Skyscanner.net

Such a good site! Usually has almost every cheap airline (except AirAsia)...and you can check for the whole month/year

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
