Hi, my name is Praveen. I’ve recently accepted a full-time Civil Engineering role with a large construction company in Calgary, starting in early February 2026. I’m 38 years old and originally from the UK. I’ll be relocating on my own at first, and my wife and daughters will join me in Canada about a year later.
I’m looking for a comfortable, basement-style room with a private bathroom, and I’m happy to pay extra for the right setup. I will also need a parking space, as I’ll have my own vehicle. To be clear, it will only be me living in the room. My wife and daughters would not be staying long-term—just the occasional short visit when they come from the UK. However if it is a smaller space, I will just rent a hotel during their visits.
I’m a non-smoker, clean, tidy, and respectful of shared spaces. I like a quiet, organised home and I’m very easygoing and positive by nature. Since I don’t know anyone in Calgary yet, I won’t have friends or family over frequently and happy being in my own company.
Outside of work, I enjoy driving, exploring new places, watching films, spending time with family, and going to the gym — would be great to find a gym buddy too. I communicate clearly, respect people’s privacy, and am looking for a calm, comfortable place to call home for at least 12 months while I settle into Calgary.
