    About Driving License

    Trick, You DON'T need to pass any written test. I moved from the US too to Ontario and all I had to do to get the license swapped was get a Driving Certificate from the Motor Vehicle office in the US (very easy to obtain), present it to the License Office in Ontario, fill out the form, show...

    Travelling to India - Transit Visa Requirement

    Actually no, this is one of the expensive ones. My main target was shortest travel time and this one had the least travel time of 23 hours each way. There were some flights which had 23 hrs of travel time one way but 47 hrs return or 35 hrs return. I definitely didn't want to spend 23 hours...
