Top 10 Financial Steps you need to take before leaving

1. Settle your affairs

Pay your debts. Review your insurance policies. Cancel your monthly services and obtain the necessary proof. Sell your properties, or make solid arrangements on how to manage them from afar. In the stress of moving to another country, it is incredible how easily we can overlook certain details and leave behind loose ends. Never say “I’ll deal with it later,” because settling financial affairs from a distance often turns out costlier and more stressful.

2. Research living costs

Before you leave, you should have an idea of how much the basics cost in your city of destination. While you won’t be able to estimate your monthly expenses down to every detail, you should know the costs of the average rent, transit pass, basic bills, medical insurance and special services you may need. While you can curb spending on things like food, entertainment and clothes, you will find that other expenses are a lot less flexible.

3. Gather all your important documents

Newcomers to Canada may be eligible for certain tax credits and other benefits. You can file an income tax return even before you have an income history in Canada. Make sure you and your spouse have a documented history of your earnings for the two years previous to immigrating. Also, gather originals of all the documents that may help you in showing proof of your past insurance and credit history.

4. Research what goods you can bring into Canada

On the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) website (www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca), you can research the permitted and forbidden goods that you may or may not bring through customs. You don’t want to find yourself in the unpleasant situation of paying fines or extra taxes or of having to dispose of certain goods.

5. Pack quality

Even if you bring in a comfortable amount of savings, you will want to avoid shopping sprees until you find employment. So try to pack good quality personal items that are likely to last you a while. In terms of clothing, keep in mind the weather conditions and important situations such as job interviews.

6. List your necessities

Not including the items you bring with you, make a list of everything you will need to buy to set up a home, down to forks and spoons. The things we take for granted at home cost money, every single one of them. The list may be frighteningly long, but you should always have a realistic idea of your needs. This way, you will avoid getting carried away when you shop for your new life.

7. Increase your savings

The Canadian government requires immigrants to present proof that they have the minimum funds to support themselves and their dependants for six months after arrival. If possible, do not rely solely on this minimum. The bigger your city of destination, the sooner your savings will shrink. If you can take on extra work or cut down unnecessary spending, do it.
8. Take advantage of cheaper services

Make your life easier when coming here by taking advantage of any useful service that is cheaper in your home country. For example, in Canada, like in most advanced countries, dental services are notoriously expensive, and so are many other medical or cosmetic procedures. Repairs and restorations of items such as artwork or other valuable possessions will, most likely, be more expensive here as well.

9. Find temporary accommodation

If you don’t have any friends or family willing to offer temporary accommodation, research the cost of hotels or short-term rentals well in advance, and make reservations. Pick a cost-effective and convenient location that will allow you to move around easily in your search for a permanent home.

10. Obtain the appropriate financial tools

Know in advance how you will be handling your money. Will you be carrying cash? Will you be relying mostly on plastic or travellers’ cheques? Be aware that many hotels here do not accept cash and require a credit card, and rental buildings require payment either by debit card, cheque or money order. Too much cash could be stressful to carry around, while relying solely on plastic may get you to lose track of your spending. Always keep a balance.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me in this issue.

We completed our medical exam from Montreal, Canada. I showed to the clinic receptionist that I need to send my medical files to Manilla VO but they said that they will send all files to Ottawa VO as I am doing my medical exams from Canada. Now, it elapsed more than a month and I dont know whether SGVO received it or not.

I asked clinic receptionist how ottawa vo recognize my file and send it to Manilla/Singapore VO? In reply, she said that by identifying the barcode, they will recognize but I am still in doubt.

I sent a CSI to SGVO and yet to get a reply from them.

Hi

I am new in this forums. I don't how it work, so please help me. I have submitted my application for study permit on 11th Nov 2012. After that I checked update in vfs, it says 'passport received at 14th Nov 2012 and is under processing... Later I received a email from Singapore for medical examination. I complete my Medical report on 3rd Dec 2012 by Dr.Abdul wahab. I have submitted my Passport to VFS on 5th Dec 2012. It have been 28 days since I submit my Passport still there no change in the update on vfs website. I am really worried my class will start on 7th Jan 2013. I need your supports. So can any one discuss with me about this?

i think since you made CSI to SVO you should not worry, sometimes they don't reply if things are in order
