    No nothing. We booked these apartments through booking.com website. Filter out by apartments and kitchen and you will get the desired results.

    We actually went for furnished apartments instead of Airbnb. There are quite a number of such apartments - you will get them around CAD 2000 to 2700 for 3 to 4 weeks. They have everything like kitchen, washing machines, dishwashers etc. We wanted to get in Mississauga downtown so that we can...

    I am glad I could be of help. Regarding your query, honestly I have no clue. We provided address of family friend but they resided in the same city where we landed.

    Well because of covid we couldn't really wrap up everything back home but the nature of our jobs is such that we can work remotely from anywhere in the world. Right now, we haven't really figured out anything yet but will jump on any good opportunity that arrives.

    1. Booking.com and Airbnb. Very easy to find. Try looking for apartments (furnished) for 14 days due to quarantine requirement. 2. Weather was hot when we landed 2 days before. Then it was raining yesterday. So it varies between 16 degrees to 25 degrees Celsius. Plus, if you are planning to...

    Goods to Follow relates to those items that we would be shipping later. The things that we take with ourselves in this trip will form part of "Goods Accompanying List". If you have already shipped stuff, then you will be asked that question in the very beginning where you scan passports as soon...

    KLM is dutch airline. It is the name of the airline. Special flights of KLM are operative. There were no flights from Riyadh to Toronto but there were flights from Damam. So we went to Damam by road and took flight from there. I don't actually know details on expired CoPR. Ours was still valid...

    1. Optional. It's either information via printed forms (that they provide in flight) or ArriveCan app. We opted for printed forms. 2. Free wifi is present at Toronto Pearson Airport so you can use that to fill the app. 3. Flight information that brings you to Canada. Like our trip was Damam to...

    Its actually an alternate option. In flight they will provide information forms or they will say that if you will provide information via ARRIVECAN app then you can do that. It's either of the two. We opted for forms since they were easier to fill and we only mentioned about the flight that...

    Actually our agent that booked the special flight suggested us to conduct the test to avoid any hiccups. When we went to the Airport in Saudi Arabia - the boarding guy actually asked another person if he has PCR test. The one that we went to did not ask for it. So, I guess it all depends on...
