Landing Experience by Naznazem vai:

My Landing Experience:
Dhaka-Dubai by Emirates [EK 585, Boeing] : 4:45 hrs
Dubai-Toronto by Emirates [EK-241, Airbus]: 16 Hrs
Toronto-Calgary by Air Canada [AC-145, Boeing]: 4:30 Hr

Dhaka-Dubai [By Emirates EK-585]: On 26 Feb 15

The plain left Dhaka at 0915 Hrs. The journey was very comfortable. I did online Check In well in time, although it is not that much helpful. We were four, and I could block 04 convenient seats well beforehand.
Entertainment along with other services were pretty good. Usually I prefer Emirates for long journey. The plane landed at Dubai Intl Airport in time.

Hotel Stay at Dubai:
Emirates provided Hotel as our next flight was after 09 Hours. But I had very bad experience in the Airport. I was expecting immediate drop to the hotel to get a sleep, but no transport was readily available. Here Emirates played a tricky role, they gathered all passengers and ket us waiting until 04:00 hours. All passengers got frustrated & bored. The transport came at 0400 hrs, we were taken to the nearby hotel. Again there was a long queue to get the keys. When we got our room, it was around 0500 hrs. We had only 02 hours to get rest. Just we could stretch our legs. The hotel attendants gave us Wake Up call at 0700 hrs. At 0730 hrs, we deposited our room keys & took breakfast. The breakfast was pretty good. Then the transport was readily available to take us to the Airport. We did our Security Checks and entered the Airport.

Dubai-Toronto [By Emirates EK-241]: On 27 Feb 15.
It was a long journey. Although the journey was mentioned as 15 hrs, actually it is 16 hours. It was an Air Bus. Seats were very comfortable. Everything was very comfortable, but time was not passing. Entertainment was very good, we got 03 meals on board. At 1531 hrs Toronto local time, the plain landed at Pearson Intl Airport.

PR processing at Toronto:
After landing, we proceeded to the Visitors' Passport Control. A duty person directed us to the newcomers corner. The queue was very small. We were immediately under the disposal of a Duty Officer. She welcomed us with smiley face, took our papers and requested us to take rest for 10 minutes. However, by 5/6 minutes, she completed her job & signed our COPR. Then she directed us to go for our SIN. Here also we got our SIN very quickly. As my destination was Calgary, everybody was highly concerned and completed our tasks very quickly. The outside temperature was -16 degree Celsius. After getting our SIN, we were requested to proceed to the Luggage Section. Here I submitted by Form B4 and declared my fund. The officer even didn't look at my B4 Forms, he put his signature & stamped on B4 form. When I asked my copy, he just smiled & returned me both copies. He told that he does not need any copy as we didn't have any goods to follow. We then collected our luggage & proceeded to domestics terminal for Air Canada.

Toronto-Calgary [By Air Canada AC-145]:
The plane was scheduled to leave at 0855 pm for Calgary. It left right on time. The pilot was very expert, as I am from Air Force, I could feel the difference of Aircraft Manuvouring. It was far better than Emirates. However, I was very surprised to notice that there was not a single meal offered on board. Funny thing is that, the cabin crew came & told that food available on payment [ha ha ha]. My children got hungry after 02 hours & I asked the crew to serve food on payment. He brought the food, but I didn't have any Credit Card. I wanted to pay in cash, he refused, then I told him that I am very new & yet to get any Credit Card. He then served food to my kids as Complementary. After 04:30 hrs journey, our plane touched Calgary Airport at 2311 hrs local time.

My relates were present at the Airport with 02 suvs. The temperature was -21 degree celsius. But we were very happy and reach our relatives house within 30 minutes.

For any assistance, all are welcomed to mail me [naznazem @ yahoo.com]

Friends,

Today i got a reply from CIO in response to a mail query on 30th Dec, 2014 saying that my file has been transferred to Singapore VO but date is not mentioned.

Another update is my ecas is showing my home address beside my mailing address because the two is different. Does it have any implications? Seniors plz reply. I am waiting for AOR.

I found the same change, my home address and mailing address is also different. So it is a simple update

Seniors advice please !

Experts advice needed !!!!

I applied under FSW2014. Couple of days back I received PER email. However, there was no acknowledgment for the Visa office, that has been allocated to my application. I called CIC and they told me that its Abu Dhabi visa office (may be because I applied from Middle east). Whereas as per my nationality it should be London visa office. The lady at CIC told me that this is what is displaying on her system. Furthermore, If I go to the official website of Abu Dhabi visa office , it clearly says that

" Responsible for Permanent Resident Applications from:
(Includes Self-employed, Start-up visa, Quebec-selected skilled worker, PNP and family sponsorship)

Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen

NOTE: For all federal economic immigration, see London "

Courtesy: cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/abu-dhabi.asp

Furthermore, I was going through the old posts ... Many applicants who were assigned Abu Dhabi visa office ... were irritated with the long and tiring processing times taken by Abu Dhabi visa office people ... I am also a bit worried due to this factor ... Please advice me that:

1) Should I call CIC and ask them to change my visa office as per my nationality i.e. London VO ( as the lady on the call told me that my application has not yet transferred to Abu Dhabi visa office) OR Should I leave my case as it is ? ? ?


Please also advice , if there are people in the forum who gone through the same phase with the Abu Dhabi visa office and found it normal ?

Note: When I applied, In the updated form i.e. Generic form ... the option for selecting the visa office was not present , so I had no option to write the Visa office by myself !

Hi All,

I don't know if you like to read the news for Muslim Canadian citizen during their travel to US at Pearson Airport.

It is really alarming from BD applicants who has visited to other Muslim countries...

These are the reasons for criminality check has been more tightened for BD applicant and getting delay for the processing compare to other countries at SGVO.
