Thanks everyone
About the landing process, they gave me 4 copies of a card on the airplane which I had to fill in for each family member as we were 4 ppl. I filled only one by mistake giving details of all 4 on single card as our home address was same for all. I first landed in toronto and the cbs staff asked for that card. I had only one form filled but they were very kind and said its ok..and marked my card with red marker.One advice would be to keep ur sponsors phone and home address handy to fill this form (I had planned to stay sith my sponsors ) and also the list ofgoods to carry and goods to follow. I had list of goods prepared but they didnt ask. They only asked how much money I carry and iif I havs any bank drafts etc. I told them I have draft, cash and gold but they did not ask about gold though I had my gold evaluation done and the gold certifcates were with me but they didnt ask. Please do get ur gold evaluated though as they keep changing thier strategy and every person is checked differently. I was travelling with kids so I got more relaxed checking maybe.
I was also given a bag which contained some booklets for new immigrnats and child support documents. Also they said I can apply for health at the toronto airport as it will take only 15 mins but I wasn't sure a d I told them that I'll get the helth cards from my destination cityII.e. winnipeg. They said its my choice. I had taken the boarding pass for toronto to winnipeg alredy from dubai aidport so no wait for boarding pass at toronto. Only I got the luggage, hired a ported for $20 for 9 pieces of luggage. And he guided me. Their was to much checking for air canada. Every carry on was opened. They evn checked baby food. Ever liquid must be in zip lock and should be 100ml or less. They had provided ziplocks in a corner where we could pack our things before the security check. Ladies please be prepared, they asked me to take off my scarf/ duppatta and my jacket too
Please keep warm woollen clothes, gloves jackets socks caps handy, also buy inner thermals as first winter we need to adjust. Also get lot of halal packed snacks for airport stop oved.One spare bottle for toronto airport as no water available In toilets. In emirates I had to ask for baby food and they gave me heinz bottled food on request.my suitcases were not checked thouh I was prepared for checking and had maintained a list of items in each suitcase but only the hand carry were checked only for air canada boarding. Food was good in emirates airline and we ould get snacks and fruits as much as we like but not in air canada as I wasnt sure if its halal so I avoided.also we got so tired that we kept sleeping in air canada flight.. winnipeg airport... no checking at all and my relatives were waiting near the luggage belt inside the airport so it was a big surprise unlike our local airport where relatives have to wait outside.
