Interview process
Arrive ready for two interviews
When you arrive in Canada, you will have to go through two screening interviews. If all of your documents are available and in order, your interviews should be over quickly.
First interview—official documents
An officer from the Canada Border Service Agency will greet you. The officer will ask to see your visa and travel documents and check to make sure that you and any family members traveling with you have the proper travel documents. The officer will find out about your health and will ask you questions similar to those on the immigrant application form.
Be prepared to answer these questions:
Are you traveling with your family?
Have you been convicted of a serious crime in your home country?
How long do you plan to stay in Canada?
How much money do you have with you?
Are you healthy?
Have you been to Canada before? Were you required to leave?
After you complete your first interview, you will meet with another officer from the Canada Border Services Agency. This officer will check the items you are bringing with you. At some ports of entry you will work with the same officer twice.
Second interview—personal goods
The second interview is for you to declare what you are bringing with you into Canada.
The officer will ask to see your declaration card. You must tell the officer you have arrived in Canada to immigrate. At this point the officer may direct you to another area for the customs procedure.
You must give the officer the list of the items you are bringing with you and a list of the items that will be arriving later. The officer will go through both lists with you and may ask questions about some of the items. The officer may also inspect your luggage.
Be prepared to answer these questions:
What are you bringing with you to Canada?
Do you have any live animals or plants with you?
Do you have any firearms, ammunition or fireworks with you?
Do you have any meat or dairy products with you?
Do you have any fresh fruits or vegetables with you?
Do you have any items from endangered species?
Do not give false answers
You must answer all of the questions truthfully. It is a serious offence to make a false statement. If you make a false statement you may not be allowed to stay in Canada. If you are well prepared and you have no items that are not allowed in Canada, the process will go quickly.
If there are no difficulties, the officer will sign your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and authorize your entry into Canada as a permanent resident.
Thanks

Types of rental units
Renters in Ontario can choose from many different types of rental units:
Apartment (suite, flat) - Includes 1 bedroom or more, a kitchen, a bathroom and a living room. A "bachelor" apartment or "studio" is 1 room with a kitchen area and a bathroom. A "junior" 1-bedroom apartment has 1 small bedroom that opens to another room.
Apartments may be in a building or a house. Apartment buildings are high rise (6-30 storey with an elevator) or low rise (fewer than 6 storey with no elevator). Apartments are owned by a landlord and are rented to tenants.
Condominium (condo) - A type of home ownership where you buy a unit in an apartment building or townhouse complex, but do not own the land. Each condominium owner pays their own mortgage, taxes, utilities and a monthly fee towards property maintenance. Sometimes, you can rent condos from the owner.
Duplex - A house that is divided into 2 separate apartments, one on top of another. The owner of a duplex may live in one apartment and rent the other or rent both apartments to tenants.
Detached house - A single house that is owned by 1 or more persons. Owners may rent out rooms or the whole house.
Semi-detached house - A single house that is joined to another house with a common wall. The houses are beside each other and attached.
Townhouse - A small house that is joined to a row of other small houses. Townhouses can be bought or rented.
Room - A room in an apartment or house that is rented out. If the tenant shares the kitchen, bathroom and living room with other tenants, this type of housing is called "shared accommodation." "Room and board" means that meals are included.
Who's Who
When you rent any of these types of housing, you are a tenant. The owner of the rental unit is the landlord. A landlord may be an individual or a company. In large buildings, the landlord often hires a superintendent (sometimes called a "super") to rent out the units and take care of the building.
What is a lease?
A lease is a contract between a tenant and a landlord for renting property. It outlines the responsibilities of the tenant and the landlord, any restrictions on the use of the rented property and the rental price. Leases are usually for a period of 1 year.
You can also rent property month-to-month without a written lease agreement. Landlords prefer that tenants sign a lease rather than rent month-to-month. However, renting month-to-month can be more flexible because you will not be bound to a lease agreement. If you rent month-to-month, you must give your landlord 60 days notice before you move out.
You and your landlord must obey the Residential Tenancies Act whether you rent month-to-month or have signed a lease agreement.
