For the "Goods to Follow" I think they all have to come in one shipment. I'm not sure because I didn't bring anything with me after I landed, all my stuff was already in Canada. Maybe ask one of the seniors in the forums. My parents brought all their furniture from Singapore by shipping them in...

If you are mailing something by Courier, mail it to George Street because courier's cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes. If you are sending something through the regular postal service (even certified mail), you should use the P.O.Box address.

Abel, When you "land" (the official process of completing the landing procedure) you will most likely be doing it at an international airport or land port, so it'll probably be at Vancouver since it's closer to Calgary. No point traveling all the way to Calgary if you don't plan on staying...

Hi tran and abel! Glad to hear the news! If either one of you opens up a business in Calgary be sure to hire me 'cos i'm still looking for work, haha! Tran, passport processing takes 1 week if you are a local living in Singapore. However if you show them your air ticket, processing can be as...

You should get it in about 4-6 weeks after submitting the fees and medical. If you are not living in Singapore add extra time for the mail service.

If you want to live in Manitoba or Saskatchewan or Nova Scotia or New Brunswick I believe there is pretty high demand for college teaching jobs. Even Quebec has a pretty high demand, but all the universities there except for McGill conduct classes in French. But because all the urban areas like...

University and College openings are based on a availability basis. As you know many senior professors have this thing called tenure - which means they cannot be fired no matter how bad they perform. Some of them choose to stay on even into their 70s. So basically in order for a spot to be...

@Tran: Any suburb in the GTA would be suitable. Many people live in the suburbs and commute to downtown Toronto for work. Obviously housing in downtown Toronto would be quite expensive, but if you have kids you might not want to be raising them in the city anyway. The further away you live from...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I've been on this forum thread. Sorry for not being around. I think Abel tried to send me a skype message. Have landed in Toronto as a PR for about 4 months now, been both lazy and busy at the same time. Just thought I'd share my experiences. One thing to note...

Got my Social Insurance Number earlier this week. The line was long because it is also the same place that people file for unemployment. But basically I got my SIN immediately and was told I would get my actual card in 3 working days. Will be trying to get my Ontario health insurance sometime...

Waterloo/Kitcherner/Cambridge area is okay, but if you plan on traveling by plane a lot it's quite inconvenient. Imagine having to drive for about an hour after getting off 20+ hours of flying. There is a small regional airport in that area too but I don't think many people use it, they would...

Just an update: I landed last night and had no problems whatsoever. They didn't even ask me to fill out a "Goods to Follow" or "Goods accompanying" form because all I had were 2 suitcases and a backpack and told them I didn't ship any items. So they didn't check my luggage. After clearing...

Here's a better link for the TN NAFTA work visa: http://www.consular.canada.usembassy.gov/nafta.asp , I just googled the last one and placed the first link I saw.

The only exception is the TN NAFTA Temporary Work Visa http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/visa_tn.html and you have to be a canadian citizen. However it is only limited to certain professions and it still involves you having to look for a job and a sponsor, just like a H1B visa. As a tourist...

I think they used to have it a long time ago but that stopped right around 2001. Now Canadians and Canadian PRs must get a H1 visa like everyone else, although it is easier for US companies to recognize Canadian work experiences and qualifications.

If you are looking at downtown Toronto, I think the prices would be very similar to Vancouver. My parents just purchased a one-bedroom condo there for investment for CA$250,000. They are hoping to resell it for about $350K after collecting some rent income for a few years. It is brand new but...

If you don't have employers letters, sending in your tax statements or paystubs would work as well. I'm pretty sure my work record was incomplete and I didn't have paystubs for every single month nor letter from every employer and still got it done. As long as you have something to show that you...

Hi Guys! Just landed in Toronto today. A little jet lagged and can't sleep, having to wait in Seoul for 15 hours for a transit plays a big factor in that. Just thought I'd share my landing experience. I presented my COPR and passport and the customs declaration form to the customs official, he...

Flying off tomorrow, landing in Toronto 2 days later. My dad tells me that immigration will check my luggage, I guess it's to verify "goods accompanying". I have an external hard drive which I store several video files, many of which were ripped from original DVDs that I own. I have the...

Your post gave me some encouragement. I just got my COPR and am leaving tomorrow to land in Toronto. Luckily I am single and my parents have already established a home there. I know what the job situation is like there and I was depressed of the thought that I may end up flipping burgers or...
