Looking for an apartment and job !!!!!! in Calgary

Hi

I will be arriving in Calgary Canada mid-July/August 2009 from Mexico.

I would ideally like to rent a place of our own but we don't know what the rental going prices are in Calgary and surrounding areas. i don't want to spend too much, possibly up to $800 - $1000 at the most... would i be able to get anything decent for this much? and also i would like to get a job !!!!!!

Alternatively if you have a decent place to sharehouse, please let us know!

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Elias !!!!!!!!!
