    That's how they make money (rob you in broad daylight) by changing these random checklists and getting you to pay $$ to fix it when you walk in

    Entry Visa India

    Unfortunately I have a 6 month old and I'm a sole caregiver. So standing in the queue all night is impossible for me.

    Entry Visa India

    I have seen this asked here before but I don't think it was ever answered. Anyone had any success submitting surrender application and entry visa application together via purolator? If so what were your timelines for visa?

    Best place to live in Toronto/GTA for a couple (wife pregnant)

    Bringing money to buy a house.

    Remember if you have plans to use your money brought from abroad only as a downpayment and will be supplemented by a bank loan then there might be additional requirements by the bank/mortgage insurer that you'd have to fulfill.

    Best place to live in Toronto/GTA for a couple (wife pregnant)

    Not sure what you mean when you say you want a 1 BHK or Condo, I'm going to assumed you're looking for a 1 bedroom apartment or condo rental. Your requirements are kind of vague, a lot of places in Toronto are close to hospitals, have good connectivity, are close to parks etc, so you'd need to...

    Hi there! I am unaware of any tax implications you may have in Pakistan for your mother or your wife due to these large transactions in their accounts so you should check with an accountant there. For Canada you do not need to report this gift...

    Hey there, I was the guy who posted 2-3 posts above you (but almost 20 months ago) I'm in Canada now, "the true extract of register" is sufficient proof to be submitted. You don't need to be explain anything to IRCC, just upload that document.
