School admissions are open for anyone throughout the year. Usually there are 2/3 elementary schools in a catchment within walking distance. There are usually seats available in one of those. So no worries. I am also planning to go November end along 02 kids of mine. Cheers

Bro, thanks a lot. This information helps me a lot.......

You could endorse only $5000/PP for adult and $2500/PP for child under 18 yrs of age or equivalent other foreign currency like CAD. Bank endorses only $2000 in cash and rest $3000 in bank draft or money order or travelers cheque. My suggestion..............
1. Go to the bank which deals with USD and CAD.
2. Endorse USD as minimum as you need to manage your initial expenditure (Example- $500/ PP).
3. Endorse rest of the USD in other foreign currency particularly CAD as Money Order or Bank Draft.
4. Don't go to money exchange. It will cost much.
CAD is cheaper than USD. So you will be benefited.
You can also take few CAD from money exchange without endorsing in PP.
I am sure, this is the best option. Hope this information will be of assistance. Thanks and regards
Went to bank today and found they sell 81.50 taka/USD. Riddiculously high. Wonder why!! Ontop they charge 1% commission n 15%VAT with 230 taka bank charges!!!!!! It's better to buy from curb Market where the rate is 79.30 or even less. The web site says it's 78.90/USD.

No Bangladeshi Bank endorses CAD, only Sonali bank Dilkusha branch, where there is no CAD in reality.
And no Bangladeshi or foreign bank issues travellers cheque for last two months anymore. Let alone bank draft on own name, as you endup paying bank charge, commission and processing fee in Bangladesh and in Canada's bank both, double loss and it takes 3/4 working days or even more to clear from Citi bank NY.
So only cash USD with high rate ::) ::) ::) or cash CAD from curb market. cheers and maley Bari............ ;)

Anyone in this forum booked tickets through Mr. Muhit of RAD Overseas? He is giving me a lot of trouble. He booked my tickets long time ago, but is not issuing them and telling me today or tomorrow for the last 3 weeks. I don't understand this and I am very worried cause I already paid him.

Mr. Muhit was referred to me by INDIANAJONES.

dear hhshumon

Thanks for your invaluable piece of information.

But, you are partially right. No bank endorse CAD in cash. Go to the IFIC bank, Dhanmondi branch (opposite Lab Aid) and endorse USD in cash and CAD as money order/ Bank draft. I did this in the month of May, so, i know this is true and possible.

Again i recommend that this is the best and beneficial way of endorsement. It cost TK 3000 for 10000 USD+CAD endorsement.

Best regards,
muk
 
Dear hhshumon

Sent you a PM two days ago. Still haven't received any response.

Permanent resident card

The permanent resident card, a wallet-sized plastic card, is the official proof of your status as a permanent resident in Canada. All permanent residents who want to re-enter Canada on a commercial carrier (airplane, boat, bus or train) must show this card. You can also use your permanent resident card as an identification document (ID) in various circumstances – for example, to request other government documents (health card, Social Insurance Number (SIN)), to access government services or to open a bank account.

If you are a new permanent resident, you will automatically receive your card as part of the immigration process. You will receive your card by mail at your address in Canada. If you do not have a Canadian mailing address before you arrive in Canada, you must provide your new address to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) as soon as possible after you arrive. If you change your address in Canada before you receive your card in the mail, inform CIC of your new address.



You can do this online at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/change-address.asp.

You can apply for a new permanent resident card if yours has expired, or if it has been stolen or lost. If your address has changed, you should notify CIC as indicated above. For further information and questions on the permanent resident card, go to www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card.
 
Social Insurance Number

You should apply for a SIN as soon as possible after you arrive in Canada. A SIN is a nine-digit number provided by Service Canada on behalf of the federal government. You will need this number to work in Canada or to apply for government programs and benefits.
You must present one of the following documents when you apply for a SIN:

Permanent residents:

• Permanent resident card from CIC: this is the only acceptable document if your permanent residence application was processed in Canada.
• Confirmation of Permanent Residence AND visa counterfoil affixed to your foreign passport or travel document.

To apply for a SIN, simply gather the documents you need and take them to your nearest Service Canada Centre. The Service Canada agent will need to see the original documents (not copies). If your application and documents are in order, you will get a SIN in one visit. For more information about the SIN, consult www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sc/sin. You can also call Service Canada at 1-800-206-7218 (select option 3) or visit a Service Canada Centre in person (see the Blue Pages of the telephone book or the Service Canada website for a location near you).

Protecting your SIN

Your SIN is confidential. You share the responsibility with Service Canada for protecting your SIN from inappropriate use, fraud and theft. Only provide your SIN when it is required. For example:

• To show to your new employer, after you have found a job;
• For income tax purposes;
• To show to financial institutions (for example, banks) where you are earning interest or income;
• To apply for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB), Canada Child Tax Benefit (CCTB) or other benefits (see the section on Employment and income);
• To apply for a Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) or a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP); or
• To receive a Canada Student Loan.

Contact Service Canada if you change your name, if your citizenship status changes, or if information on your SIN record is incorrect or incomplete. Also inform Service Canada if your SIN card is lost or if you suspect that your SIN is being wrongly used. You should never use your SIN card as a piece of identification and should not carry it with you. Store it safely at home. Never provide your SIN over the telephone unless you make the call and you know the person you are speaking with. Finally, never reply to emails that ask you for personal information such as your SIN.
