    School for a kid with low English skills

    Suin you are worrying for nothing. I had the same situation when I came in US. My 6 year old did not speak English at all. The public school alone would be fine. She was attending regular classes in English and ESL at the same school at ESL scheduled times. After few months she started to talk...

    How long we can live in Toronto with settlement funds

    As Suin said with that amount you will survive about an year if your expenses are close to average Canadian. Also you can find a job at least at Tim Harten's, so an year would not be a problem.

    PMM - please help - checklist and Proof of funds

    Better bring traveler's checks for immediate expenses. Bankers check or Personal check both would need 21 days (US Banks, may be more for other countries) to clear. So I don't see a difference in them. If you have an account in Bank of America you can use that debit card without fee at Scotia...

    Money Transfer

    Any amount is not a problem. But need to be declared at the border if exceeds $ 10000. Or it would be criminal offense. There would be no problem in depositing the traveler's checks. Bank of America debit cards can be used in all Scotia Banks's ATMs. It looks like you need large amount of...

    Pre Landing Questions

    In my case I landed from US. When I landed I did not make a perfect complete list. I gave about 10 major items like Cars, TV, Computer and jewels. Then when I permanently moved in I used u-haul truck with tonnes of load. That was not even checked. All I had to do was fill in the B4 and B4A forms...

    Landing experience, via Road rainbow bridge, NY, USA.

    When you cross over by car there is no separate queues. All you have to do is drive your car in any queue. There was no queue when I came, I just picked a available counter. In the air you have no option but to pick the queue you are eligible. Some times if the citizen's queues are free they...

    How can i enter Canada without PR card ?

    If you are entering from US you need not have to show the PR card. In the border show your passport. They will know you are a PR. As matter of fact this is true if you are coming from any country. But the airlines or other carriers wouldn't know that. If you are refused they are responsible to...

I want to give back some thing which I got from various forums. I applied for Canada PR and got it in about 11 months. I had to land in Canada by Feb...
