ALL BANGLADESHI APPLICANTS FORUM

[mmustafa]

Dear Experts,


I am planning to apply for Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia but I am not sure which form I have to fill up and submit. Can you provide me the link? I have already updated my express entry profile. I am waiting for my settlement fund which will be resolved soon as I am going to show 3 months of account activity.

If you have any suggestion, please share.


Thank you

Hellooo.

landed on Winnipeg 04 months back. I have my PR card, Bank account, SIN card, Health card but NO JOB. Still searching for jobs.

We wish a good news for your shortly.

By the way what is your NOC? And do you try for something other than your profession? Just to have an idea about the market.

What do you think the most important factors for us to get job?

Hello Friends,

Can you pls share your experience concerning your application's employment verification processes done by VO's in Bangladesh?

I came to know that in other countries only 1% of the applicant's employers usually get a call from the VO's, where only some basic questions are asked for the verification process, is it the same here in Bangladesh?

I am sure if our friends who have already gotten their PR could share their experience regarding the topic, many of the new applicants would be immensely benefited. Thank you so much

Thanks for your reply, actually one of the lawyer I have talked to, told me that CIC always give a call to the employers HR manager or even they sometimes visit your office and talk to the managers to know more about you. So, do you think that this statement is not correct?

Actually, I am looking forward to change my job, so I am scared that if CIC visits my office, they might not be able to get our HR manager to ask about me as he always keeps in running to our factories. So, it will be great if you can answer my query, thanks

Usually they don't call the employer in Bangladesh unless they have significant doubts or the company is unknown. They will not visit your company in Bangladesh.

This is something i shared on the forum a year ago, when i landed here. Hopefully this will help you:

LANDING: DAY 1

We landed in Toronto (YYZ) terminal 1. The whole process at Toronto airport took almost 90mins (from aircraft door to airport exit gate). The word 'Welcome to Canada' was heard more than 15 times in between Smiley

1st step: Passport Control counters, there was a short queue in the visitors queue (BTW, we should go to visitors queue not residents queue, because at this point, we are not residents yet), it took around 10 mins max. Officer asked for the purpose of our visit (which is immigration), took our passports, stamped on the immigration visa and customs declaration, asked how much fund we are carrying (we declared over 10K CAD), then asked to go to new immigrants office just on the right side of passport control counters.

2nd Step: New Immigrants Counters: The officer took our passports, COPR, asked few questions (like do we have any other dependents, how much fund we are bringing for settlement [he didn't ask to show it], etc). And asked for our Canadian address (I recommend that you print the address in a paper and give it to them instead of dictating it). Then asked us to sit in the lobby until he finishes his work). This took around 20mins.

Note: The COPR had one photo attached and stamped from visa office and another photo clipped, I added another recent photo to the clipped one, the officer asked which photo is more recent, so I showed it to him, he returned all the other photos. So, it is acceptable that you clip a new photo other than the COPR photo....

3rd Step: Newcomers Welcome counter; They gave us some brochures and papers titled Welcome to Canada, health insurance forms, and some child tax return docs and some other papers.

4th Step: SIN numbers (ServiceCanada Counter, Terminal 1 at YYZ): We landed during working hours. Around 3:30pm on Friday. Officer asked questions like fathers name, mothers name, correct spelling, etc.. Then printed SIN numbers on A4 paper. There are no longer SIN cards. This process took around 15mins.
Note: If you land outside working hours, SIN counters at the airport will be closed, you will get your SIN number from any ServiceCanada office. It takes 5-10mins max.

5th Step: Baggage Carousal: Our bags were already in the carousal, we just collected them.

6th Step: Customs, as we entered the customs queue, the officer noted that we filled YES in 'Are you carrying funds over 10K CAD' so immediately she directed us to customs office next door, we entered there, the officer took the good to follow list (I prepared B4+B4A+Picture of all gold that we will bring later). The officer was really happy to see our organized preparation, stamped all the 3 pages (B4+B4A+Gold pic) and asked me to wait a bit. He entered the total value in his system and gave me an official printed form for tax-free import. This process took another 15mins.

This was the last step in the airport. Then we headed out of the terminal where my friend was waiting for me.

Next Day, we opened a bank account in TD Trust Canada (booked an appointment earlier by online chat with TD Bank). The brunch was in the next building of our apartment and open until 8pm. So we opened 2 separate accounts (for myself and my wife), got debit card instantly. Applied for credit card, usually it takes 7-10 days delivered to your mailing address.

MY RECOMMENDATIONS

I recommend that you prepare the following ahead of time, they will be very happy if you do your homework, as it will make their life much easier. Many officers were very happy and said 'You guys are very organized and prepared everything.. Thank you'.

1) Canadian address printed in a small paper
2) Print form B4 and B4A. Write the total value in the last row. ONLY FOR THE GOODS TO FOLLOW.
3) If you are bringing gold or other jewelry later, print a colored picture of that. ONLY THE GOLD YOU WILL BRING LATER.

For the accompanying goods and gold, the officer said we don't need it. But if you want to make a list, make sure that you make a separate list and don't combine it with good to follow list.

Please let me know if you have any question. I will be glad to help.

Thanks a lot
Debashish

Dear Debashish Da,

Thank you so much for your reply. I have already landed and the whole process was pretty smooth. All done but the Service Canada Office was close due to weekend. But later I acquired the SIN from nearest office. I am still to open a bank account. Could you please suggest me what bank should I take as a new immigrant as I have no idea.

Also I need to go to Service ON for Health Card and Driving License purposes. Please suggest me if there is anything I need to know regarding this. Also please let me know for Flu Shot; where should I go and if there is any free service for this available.

Again thank you so much for your reply.

With Warm Regards,

Zakir
