Hello Guys,

This Morning I have received PPR request. Though I am happy, I have my concerns.
so, I need this forum to help me to clear my doubts.

Doubt 1 : As My CSQ will expire in December 15, 2017, Can I still go to Montreal one week before the Expiry date ( for example, 10th of December)
Doubt2 : My Medical will expire in Jan 15, 2018. Is it Ok to travel to Montreal As some one saying that, one has to have minimum of 3 months before the medical expiry
Doubt 3 : My major concern: I am bringing my family (including 2 daughters of age 5 and 2 ) on the month of December, I am scared to face the winter.
Doubt 4 : Where can I find the apartment to rent for some months? Will it be any services for the same?
Doubt 5 : Where to buy winter clothes, ufff

@ candream, Sure we sure lend support to each other to face the prime challenges. Host a party soon :)
Congrats dude... when u completed medicals

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Your COPR is valid until your Medical expiration date.
3. You need to prepare your self for Quebec winter. It would be difficult but you will do fine with proper preparation. Your exposure to cold would be only when you are outside of your apartment. Did you consider returning back to India after finishing landing formalities and then coming back few months later when Winters are over? You will spend double on air fares but will save money on accommodation and spare your family from hard winters OR perhaps your wife + daughters can return back while you search for job in Quebec and then return back once you have job and winters are over.
4. Start with airbnb and kijiji. Beware many times postings on kijiji are not legit.
5. Indian winter clothes won't do for you in Canada. Bring clothes to survive only for first few days and then head out to Walmart to buy cheap Winter clothes that are apt for Quebec winters.

Please do post in Settlement and Housing sub-forums of this forum.

@ candream, Sure we sure lend support to each other to face the prime challenges. Host a party soon :)

Congratulations a Lot and all the very best for the future dear.

Doubt:1


Ans-As far as i know that the CSQ validity matters at the time of applying the Federal application, the same is mentioned on CICs website (check link pasted below)

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/qec/validity.asp

So as you will land by December 10th with the validity of CSQ till 15th of december, in my opinion it will not a problem at all.

Doubt:2

Ans- The time you will have to do the landing will be mentioned on your visa. The three months policy isn't any thumb rule however you may have the time till the validity of your visa.
one of the forum member has received his passport back with the validity of the visa same as the validity of his medicals.

Doubt:3

Ans-
Undoubtedly winter is a huge challenge to face with two small kids of the Age of 5 and 2. However i would strongly recommend you to post in the below mentioned tab of the canadavisa forum

https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/forums/settlement-issues.14/

Doubt:4

Ans-
I would say do some research on these sites for accommodation.

www.trovit.ca/‎
www.rentalmontreal.com/
https://www.rentquebecapartments.com/apartments/montreal
montreal.en.craigslist.org/apa
www.louer.com/montreal-downtown+apartments-for-rent/

Doubt:5

Ans-
In my opinion the Winter clothes from india will not Compete the Weather of Quebec. However in these you may find Good stuff of Clothes from Flipkart/Amazon/Paytm etc. on reasonable prices.

Hope this helps. Good Luck Dear.

Congrats on DM

Doubt 1 : As My CSQ will expire in December 15, 2017, Can I still go to Montreal one week before the Expiry date ( for example, 10th of December)
If possible try to come earlier as you will need CSQ in Initial days when u go for Medical card , SIN etc and it is advisable that you have unexpired CSQ when you visit govt offices .....
Doubt2 : My Medical will expire in Jan 15, 2018. Is it Ok to travel to Montreal As some one saying that, one has to have minimum of 3 months before the medical expiry
Again sooner the better ...
Doubt 3 : My major concern: I am bringing my family (including 2 daughters of age 5 and 2 ) on the month of December, I am scared to face the winter.
In Rome be like Roman - so when in Canada don't afraid of Winter .... :) if you have proper winter gear there is nothing to scared of ...
Doubt 4 : Where can I find the apartment to rent for some months? Will it be any services for the same?
Look out for Air BnB short term rentals
Doubt 5 : Where to buy winter clothes, ufff
Not sure if New Delhi has "North Face " showroom buy some basic stuff ..will suggest to buy winter gear when you are in Canada - as it will be cheap here , better quality and also you will save on language and handling...

Any other query feel free to raise ...

So as you will land by December 10th with the validity of CSQ till 15th of december, in my opinion it will not a problem at all.

Govt officials like RAMQ , SIN etc ask for valid CSQ ..to avoid any confusion its advisable to reach earlier so that at least govt work is done without any hassles ...

Doubt:2

Ans- The time you will have to do the landing will be mentioned on your visa. The three months policy isn't any thumb rule however you may have the time till the validity of your visa.
