    cold weather

    I came to Vancouver last week for my 'short-landing' (and will be traveling back to Singapore tonight). It is winter here in Vancouver, and it was raining for the better part of last week. But what depresses me most is that everyone on the street wears black! Black coats, black jackets, black...

    Renting in Vancouver

    I personally do not think it is wise to offer to pay 5 months' rent upfront. You never know if there might some something wrong with the place.

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    I landed on January 16, and the officer stamped that date next to the field "Last entry date: Became PR on:". But the "Original entry date: Undertaking (mos):" was left blank. Is this normal? - edit: I just noticed that this thread is under "Canadian Experience Class". In my case, I applied...

    Question about landing in Vancouver and SIN number

    Hi, I landed in Vancouver yesterday. There has been some hiccups, however, which seriously made me wish I had landed in Toronto instead. But in this post, I will just talk and ask about the issuance of Social Insurance Number. According to the Welcome to Canada – What you should know...

    Landing experience- Vancouver Airport

    Hi Ruby, Thanks for sharing the experience of landing in Vancouver as a new immigrant. I just landed today at Vancouver. My experience was largely similar to yours, at least up to the point of signing the COPR. However, after that, nobody asked me for a copy of a list of goods accompanying me...

    Hi, When I received my PPR letter on the 6th of December, MyCIC status showed "We need an additional document from the applicant". After clicking the "View Submitted Application" button, I was taken to the list of documents previously submitted, which now showed two additional slots named...

    The Maple Leaf Lounge - Gather here to relax and talk about our daily lives

    I am currently living in hot and humid Singapore (tropical rainforest climate). The humidity really gets to me. What are the drier places in Canada? I once lived in LA before, and felt that it has the best weather in the world! While I don't think any place in Canada will have LA-like weather...

    A UK Pharmacist Immigration to Ontario

    I know I am hijacking this thread, but I have a question related to pharmacy in Canada. I am a humanities PhD and have already received my Passport Request Letter for my Express Entry PR application. As it is very difficult to find an academic job at Canadian universities (and I am quite...

    Thank you creation7. Yes, I'm glad that the wait for PPR is over. Just submitted my passport and photos this morning and hope to get it back before Christmas or sooner. I am single, so I applied alone. I hope you'll get PPR soon, so that you don't have to repeat the medical examinations. But...

    Those who Waiting EXPRESS ENTRY in Six Months and not finalized!!!!

    Well, well, well, I just became a 10-month martyr in terms of waiting for PPR (if it ever comes). I just feel that it is important to record this occasion since this is a transition from single-digit waiting length to double-digit waiting length. But there have been some developments. I was...
