Hello,

I will be coming over to CA to hand in my photos for the PR card. Will be there only for five days, during which I am looking for a cheap but decent accommodation. A pick-up service from the airport would be an added advantage, but is not a must! Any recommendations? Please let me have your recommendations as soon as you can so that I can make my bookings quickly. Time is running out. I havent found anything satisfactory during my searches. I need to visit the St. Clair office in Toronto so any accommodation close to it would be ideal.

Many Thanks

You can stay on a bench in Union Station for free

Americanindian, it may be true but this sounds quite nasty. Was that intentional??

I had asked a genuine question and I had expected some honest answers. Didnt want people to make fun of it.

Thanks anyways for your contribution

Ignore it, only certain American students would do that sort of stuff :)

What budget do you have in mind (per night)?

Ground transportation

Honestly Baloo, I dont have an idea. I guess something like a Bed& Breakfast should be alright. I have no idea of how much that costs. Do you know?

A B&B somewhere close to the office where I need to go (i.e. St. Clair Avenue East) should save time and money and of course energy on travelling. Do we get something like a DAY TRAVEL CARD, which allows you to travel indefinitely on a given day?

Many Thanks

It has been a while since I stayed in Toronto, so I don't have up to date info'.

You can get travel information at the TTC website.

Adult Senior/Student
Weekly Pass $36.00 $28.00

They also sell daily passes.
 
I had done exactly similar exercise myself. So, here some tips.

1. It is just one day task. So, you may not need to keep 5 days for it (unless you have some other plans or want to be very very safe). I would say 3 days at the most should be ok, preferrably during mid-week. Ensure that there are no public holidays during your trip.

2. You may check Yahoo Travel site (travel.yahoo.com) for very economical hotels near internationl airport. Something like under $50 per night might be available. Such hotels normally have complimentary shuttles to-from airport (and breakfast too).

3. You can very easily take a bus to Kipling subway station (hotel front-desk can help) and then Subway to St Claire. Once out of St Claire station, office is just at walking distance. Whole round-trip that day would not cost you more than $15.

Hope it helps you. Good luck !
 
The below are very close to St. Claire office

Toronto Suites
2 Elm Ave Glen, Toronto, ON M4T 1T8, Canada
+1 416-489-4611


Legacy Hotel
254 Heath Street East, Toronto, ON M4T 1T2, Canada

I would suggest that you identify hotels near by through Google maps and then have good deal though booking.com

Good Luck...

Mind if I ask you please, how did you come to know that you need to hand in your photos for the PR card? as per what I understand, when they asked for PPR along with the photographs, that photographs will be used for the PR card.

Thanks,
