Hi All,
While we look forward to receiving an update from CIC wondering how the initial settlement things could be managed post relocation to Canada.
Here is the list of important tasks to complete post movement to Canada that I believe would be useful for everyone
plus the questions I have on my mind for quite some time.
Looking forward to have suggestions from members in the group
1. Getting a SIN no. : This is the most important thing to do once anyone arrives in Canada. Any updates what all documents are required to apply for a SIN no. apart from the copy of PR card (especially for people relocating from India to Canada on a PR) ?
2. Opening a bank account: Understand PR card and passport copy would suffice for opening a bank account. Please add if there are any additions to this list.
3. Renting an apartment: Typically lease agreements of 12 month period is the standard practice however not sure what documents are needed to rent an apartment. Is it just the PR copy or anything additional e.g. proof of funds, etc. ? (please mention documents required if moving without a job and as such no pay statements, no offer letter available for submission).
4. Canada Health Benefits: Registration in PHI plan needed to cover for basic medical and emergency treatment. Any suggestions around what all documents to be submitted with health insurance office?
5. Employment Opportunities: Any job portals or consultants to recommend for employment opportunities search?
6. Any advice w.r.t. funds movement?
