@wonderbly - I am having second thoughts about Saskatoon. Everyone is warning against going to Saskatoon in winters. I have till April next year to land and everyone is saying I should wait till February-march next year to land. Do you agree?
Will life be hard if I travel by bus in Saskatoon?

I have submitted the documents IRCC asked for and it is still showing on my profile that they need additional documents. Doesn't the status change automatically after uploading docs or did my docs not upload correctly. following is the status of docs shown in my profile
- We need additional documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.

Does it show that all the documents have been transmitted? If yes, then I too received this message for 12 hours until it changed to "Not applicable". For some it changes to We are review the document you have submitted or something similar.
Wait 24 hours and then call IRCC to check if they have received the documents. Tell them about the message.
NGL, the winter is brutal
. Thankfully, I didn't suffer much because work/sch was mostly remote in Fall and Winter sessions and we do have a car. It doesn't last all week/month long at a stretch though, you do get some reprise between the bad snowstorms . My family enjoyed this winter (being our first experience of so much snow and cold) but I expect it to get old pretty quick as the novelty wears off.Having said that, if you have an option of going elsewhere more friendly weather-wise and you can afford it, definitely do that.
Can people weigh-in on this observation? Have you noticed a similar pattern? TIA.
Just travel before your passport expires. Then request a new passport at the consulate in Canada. There is no reason to request a new passport now.
Isn’t right now the best time to travel? Spring? Since it should warm up now? Windsor is 30 degrees here for example and will remain hot for a while.
yeah @stirredo spring/summer will be the best time to travel but I guess your plan doesn't quite fit into that. If you have to wait till next year, I'd suggest as close to April as you possibly can. The winter is worst in Dec - Feb.
@Alysson we are at maximum 18 degrees today and we are on top of the world happy
. Had to pack swimming trunks for the kids for school, they are so excited to finally swim .Thanks! it says transmitted but no change in status. I will wait for 24hrs like you said and give them a call tomorrow to check if they received it
Also, to be frank Feb is the worst month to Travel in this region. It snows throughout the region. March is colder too. Proper summer starts from Mid May which is this week. I am surpirsed someone asked you to wait till march when the right to travel is right now.
Are you in Windsor now? How is the place in terms of transportation and rental housing?
There are buses but they are only in Windsor. They won’t reach neighboring cities very often, there is like one line that will go to other cities, but haven’t used them yet. There are 2 main lines for buses at northern Windsor and a few deriving lines that will go south. They say south is better to live, but if you plan on using buses it might suck. I rented a studio since it was easier and I’m on my own. They didn’t ask much. There are several apartments in the city to rent, but most want rental history, some ask for credit check, 3 months payslip and things like that. For a newcomer it might be more challenging to find a place without rental history in Canada. One apartment I viewed, didn’t really care about my history in the US, they just wanted history in Canada. There are a lot of postings in Kijiji for rentals here. Oh, and buses don’t run late on sundays. Found that the hard way since I moved here May 1st which was a Sunday and needed to buy some stuff. Had to Uber back from Walmart.
If you plan on using bus frequently, you should go get a bus card as soon as you get here. They have a ride card and a day card. The ride card has a minimum of 5 rides, each gives you 2 hour transfer(you can take multiple buses using one ride for 2 hours). The day card has a minimum of 15 days, where you can use the bus as much as you want for 15/30 days. Without the card buses accept exact change. It’s $3.15, they only accept coins and if you pay over, you won’t be getting change back lol. You get a 2 hour transfer that way as well. If you have a car in Michigan you should probably bring it over. You can use a U.S. registered car here for a few months and I hardly see traffic here. It makes things a bit easier initially if you have a car.
