continue from Finally Landed by Turkish Airlines part-1, 2 and 3:

Weather of toronto was a bit hot ( 27 c) my friend rafiq ahmed came to pick me. he booked completely furnished apartment (with internet and telephone) of one bed at the rate of 850 dollars per month location is 47-Thorncliffe Park drive east york toronto. After getting fresh we went to rafiq apartment for dinner and remain their till 10:00.

Here now a days Maghrab praryer timing is 9:00 pm and isha prayer timing is 11:00. too lengthy days. iam afraid how i remain in fasting in coming ramzan in such a long days.

Next day was sunday (july 17) today offices are closed but Trust Canada bank remains open in sunday for four hours (12:00 to 16:00) so we went there and open account. Deposit our DD and they ask will be cashed in ten working days. get debt card. from there we went to Iqbal Halal foods for purchasing some grocessories. Purchase grocessories for ten days for 68 dollars (grocessory is cheap).

After taking lunch we purchase TTC day pass at 10 dollars (one ticket is for four persons two adult and two children so one pass was enough for our family) this pass is valid for TTC buses, Metro, Subways. We take 81 No. bus then subway and reached Down town (Eaton shopping centre) toronto. remain their for three hours then again have a TTC bus and visit whole china town and surroundings. Came back at 10:00 very tired but happy to see famous/ major portion of toronto in ten dollars.

On monday my friend was busy so i could not go for SIN card. So i went to TNO (Thorncliffe Neighbourhood Office) a government office where we use free internet, photocopies, printout etc. then we went to employment office for resume and other matters. From there we went to public library for kids membership. They ask for landing papers and issued membership card. Library is very very nice, internet is also free over there, movies are requlary watching, and many many other activities are there.

On tuesday went service canada office for SIN they asked for landing papers and issued SIN on the spot and iformed SIN will be mailed within ten working days. Then came again to Bank and ask for credit card. Bank required SIN so i gave them and they process my credit card and told me i will get it with in one week. Canada trust bank charge nothing not even a single penny for opening account, issuing debit card and credit card. No surety they asked for, they issued me two credit cards (one for me and one for my wife) limit is of 500 dollars.

Today i again came to TNO and asked for Child Tax Benefit. The lady get printed of all the forms filled it and by tomorrow i will dispatch it.

What happened next i will inform u, from tomorrow i will start looking job because for job SIN is a basic requirement.

Any one can call me for information at 001-647-7277907

Fully furnished apartment are usually temporary accommodation. What was in his apartment, doesn't mean you will have the same utensils and equipments.

I tried two places before my permanent move, which all advertised as fully furnished. In my opinion, one is more better furnished than the other one. For example, they have more cooking utensils such as frying pan, kettle, toaster, oven and other cutleries compare to the other one just chopsticks and one pan.
