Thank you for starting this thread for June 2021 applicants. I will be applying too in June 2021 and looking forward to connect with everyone here.

Hey guys, I am planning to apply for citizenship for myself and my daughter (minor under 18) soon. Have few questions, was wondering if someone here could please advise. We landed in Canada in May 2018: For my daughter’s identification documents: I am thinking of submitting her Passport (all...

Hi all, I landed in Toronto few weeks back. Having a very hard time trying to find an apartment : 1) First issue is the area : Where to look - First I was confused which city eg Mississauga or Toronto. Once decided on Toronto, I am not sure which areas are good for families - eg good schools...

Hi all, I have few queries on landing, would be great if any of those already landed , can pls help me with these : 1) Proof of Funds : I will be landing along with my daughter in Toronto in few days. Can you pls help me with the following queries: a) Pls confirm the total funds requirement...

Thanks @alok4best ...this really helps. Ques 2: So, the choice I have to make is essentially between : whether to get the jewelry with me while landing/next landing ( for this need to go through all the pain of getting the jewelry value estimated and certified by some jeweler , take pics of...

Great !! Yes , its convenient no doubt ! Thanks.

Thanks. They actually have many in Ontario !! Funny...I must tell that person in my next visit... haha

Thanks . That's a great idea. Any idea about the kind of transaction charges for such international withdrawals in a different currency ?

Also @alok4best , I await your reply on the above queries !! Many thanks.

Really ? So strange !! I asked them and they said they don't have branches in Toronto :(

Hi @Rossei , Thanks for the detailed post. It really helps to understand DL procedures in Ontario. I am planning to land in Toronto in April 18. I do have a driving license in my home country but I got it really really long back ( ie in 1999). However, I really haven't driven much as I was...

Many thanks @emamabd . This is very clear now :)

Btw is there any whatsapp group for people landing in Toronto in March/April/May 2018 ?? Is anyone aware or send me the link. Thanks.

Thanks. Got it. So basically this needs to be done post landing. Thanks for your inputs :)

Ok yeah, got your point , thanks. I was just trying to figure out if I need to start the process right away or after I land. After reading the posts I think its better to start it once there - since i can go and check out the places myself, check out housing / rates etc. Just I can get the...

Ok - so you mean (cash in CAD + credit card balance + travelers cheques ) : If these in total exceed CAD 10,000 I need to declare with customs. Money not brought in but shown in statements for that in home country - is excluded from this CAD 10,000 cap since the money is still in home country...

Many thanks @alok4best for your detailed reply. Few points: 1) POF: ICICI doesnt have branches in Canada. I will check out the Scotia bank option. Will visit them here first. I liked your idea of what you did for POF 2 years back. Carrying a statement is best - no hassles. Just one thing , how...

Thanks for your reply @dipinderchadha. 1) POF : I get an idea. Thanks. Will carry some CAD and rest can carry as statement of funds in India. Will card money also be counted under that USD 10,000 limit of customs ? I guess its only for cash right ? 2) Goods accompanying and goods to carry -...

Many thanks for sharing the links. So basically from these list of schools , depending on where one is staying ( cost is not a comparison factor here I guess since I am assuming there is no cost involved in the public ones - supposedly free of cost ) current one , one needs to look for the...

Hey Dr. Feras, Hang in there. Things will be good soon. Its dull probably coz of winters there. Don't lose hope. All the very best to you. Cheers.
