Before I get to my question, short brief of my case Landed during February 2014, - Left Canada after 16 days, - PR card received at Canadian address (my friend’s residential address) – April 2014. I intend to visit Canada again during August 2014 but currently do not have PR card with me...

Anyone knows where I can get my finger print card FD-258 completed in GTA (preferably Brampton). I searched it on the net and noted the following resources, any inputs will be appreciated. 1- http://www.fingerscan.ca/fbi-clearance/ World­wide Foren­sic Ser­vices Inc. 2-...

Wow, thanks Rossei. This is really useful, many thanks for your consideration this is exceptional stuff. So after all, the picture is not as rosy as perceived by many of us about Canada. Australia scores far better than Canada in most of the aforementioned criteria. I also tried to go through...

Thanks keesio for your input.

Thanks Rossei, what an excellent post, +1 for you. Did you summarize this information from each individual sources or you took it from somewhere. The reason I want to know is because I would be interested in a comparative analysis with Australia using similar KPIs. Would appreciate your input...

Among all the negativity which surrounds us regarding our decision to call Canada as our permanent home, this post from Rossei may provide some solace. Since many of us might not be visiting “Settlement Issues” segment of this website I thought of reproducing it here.

I will be landing on Pearson International Airport during February 2014. Initially we plan to stay for few weeks this time around, before finally moving to Canada early next year. I have two questions and will appreciate your input. 1. Often new immigrants are advised that the photographs...

Re: IDP in UAE? Please advice Ok, so I searched on the internet and found the answer :) Details are provided below. However, would appreciate if anyone would like to add a comment regarding his/her experience of renting a car in Toronto? International Driving Permit...

Appreciate if anyone can let me know how to get an International Driving License from Abu Dhabi (UAE)? I would like to rent a car in Toronto for the first few weeks of my stay and I guess international license is a must. Appreciate your response and any other related details regarding hiring a...

My advice to you is to apply for Australian immigration as soon as possible (as a backup to your plan). Obviously this is the case if your professional, financial and personal circumstances permit. What rizmayo and you are saying about residency obligation is correct, but remember these are...

Thanks rizmayo for your useful input to the discussion. Since I am not an expert on Canadian Taxation System, and you have done the right thing by obtaining the advice of a tax consultant then probably there is no point in doing further deliberation :) Good luck and do keep us posted of any...

Thanks SMSH and fsarosh

Thanks fsarosh for your detailed account. I believe the temperature at Pearson International Airport is regulated. So when you said -20 you meant temperature outside the premises of Airport? The reason I am asking is because I am planning to keep my winter jacket in my luggage. Appreciate your...

Thanks for your note Asaad. I hope and wish that you get your visa soon. Yes the situation in Canada is far worse than what is being perceived by many immigrants. Although, circumstances may vary for each individual. At this stage my advice to you is to wait & get the visa first, make initial...

Hasni, any updates regarding your PR Cards. I came across the following link which might be useful for you. Do let us know of your progress. Good Luck.

Hopeforfuture, I can understand because I was in a similar position last month. However, to my CSI they did reply positively. Coolguy suggested me to try French (because the first CSI was in English and I did not receive any response from PVO). Try sending another CSI to them (if you have...

Yes I agree, but what if your visa arrived almost 10 months after medical with less than 80 days validity.

Thanks for the encouragement "on-hold" and highlighting the positive aspects of Canadian society :)

I checked 'Tchibo' and 'Brands For Less' and they did have some really nice ski jackets and pants. Finding the right size is an issue so would need to visit multiple outlets. I hope it would be good enough for the first couple of days till the time I manage to get a more appropriate one from Canada.

Nicely summed up on-hold. Unfortunately (or may be because I am panicking as the time to make a move to Canada has finally arrived) all we read in the news these days is negative about the prospects of Canada generally, and for immigrants particularly…. from worst healthcare system in OECD to...
