Dear Umair
I am also planning to land in Edmonton Inshllah next year. Which is the direct flight from Karachi to Edmonton.

Regards

I think there is no direct flight, but a connecting flight is available through other cities, We also landed in Edmonton Via Montreal no issue enjoyed in Montreal Airport and landing formulaties were done at Montrael. No issue. better to take connecting flight.

Hello ! I wanted to check about Laurel (NW Edmonton) , this is urgrnt pls it connects to Anthony hendy drive

is this area a safe neighborhood, the crime mapping of Edmonton shows v less crimes though but I still wanted to check it from someone who is already aware of areas . and reviews of real ppl .

From rest of the aspects I.e service center , grocery stores, public stores it looks fine my main concern right now is safety.

Hello friends

This is my first post here though i have read many of the posts
I have a query regarding the place to land, May you pls tell me where can I get commercial driving license easily for driving truck? I have heard that in edmonton it takes just 2-3 months to get a commercial license if i produce two years of driving experience from India. Is it true? And how much time will it take to get the same in toronto?

Thanks in advance
