Can anybody guide me whts the process of landing In Canada,
make sure you have a passport with canadian visa on it ..... make sure you have an air ticket for canada ...... if that ticket is for PIA make sure they still have a plane to fly ..... and if they do .... make sure that flight is not late ..... make sure your 2 bags are not over 28 kg and your hand carry is not over 7 KG (for pia) ..... and if it is make sure you have few thousand rupees extra with you ..... you know for porter for ZARDARI TAX for EXTRA SECURITY TAX and for the photocopies of your passport that you will have to get at the airport ....... then at the airport make sure again that your flight is on time ..... if it is good for you if not .... come back home and when they call you for flight do everything all over again ..... and when your flight is ready to go and you have everything good to go, make sure you get a porter at the airport because ... personally i would get a porter at Lahore or Islamabad airport and let the porter deal with all that goes on in the lineup for check in ........ during the flight make sure you have earbuds or better yet earmuffs unless there are no screaming kids around you .... if your in PIA that is highly unlikely ....... if they try to give you breakfast at 2pm tell them to give you sandwich because sandwich is cold but at least the sandwich doesnt smell .... breakfast at 2mp kind of smells funny ..... lunch and dinner is normally ok, now they have finally changed it from buryani to rice with chicken .... i mean rice on one side and chicken on the other side of same plate .... so technically speaking its not buryani anymore ..... drink alot of water so you dont get fatigued during the flight ...... make sure you fill out your custom declaration card before landing at the airport because your going to need it at the canadian airport ...... at the airport first you will see customs officer inform that officer if you need to declare anything such as gold jewellery that officer will tell you to get your immigration done from immigration counter and then proceed to customs area where you declare your stuff ..... immigration is super simple they normally don't ask you any questions other then your address in canada .... from there you go to welcome counter where they will welcome you and give you some documents that will guide you through the process of applying for SIN card and other stuff that new comers need help with ....... next step is receiving your bags .... if your at Toronto airport .... GOOD LUCK ... because there are baggage handlers at toronto airport that some times make it even difficult to get the bag .... like some time your waiting for your bag on one end of the belt and they take your bag off on the other end of the belt and leave it on the floor sitting and waiting for you to come and find it ;D so if you dont find it on the belt make sure to look around the belt before freaking out ;D ...... plus you will need $2 for the cart to put your bags on, you can use credit card but only canadian credit cards are accepted ..... next step is customs again where you declare your stuff like gold jewellery make sure you have pictures of the stuff that you are going to declare and make sure you have the details of the jewellery written on a paper signed and stamped by your jeweller like ... what is it ?.... how many karat is it? and the price ? .......customs officer will do all the paper work for you .... and from there you go out through the arrivals door.

I see some of you Tweeted Jason Kenney but I am guessing he did not even bother to reply any of the tweet.

While he was answering to other tweets he simply ignored related to Spousal Immigration Pakistan, I can sense discrimination.
