thanks. see you soon in maple land.
Good luck Hitesh

Enjoy your landing trip, its a trip like no other - ( i have traveled to 12 other countries - but it was only Canada that gave me permanent residency), its definitely worth enjoying every moment of it and it will be remembered for long afterwards - as it will probably have a much larger impact on your life than any other previous trip

keep up the high spirit and positive energy - you'll need that the most in your first days - and also further along the way

One of my friends has chosen Vancouver as POE for his first landing. He plans to come back after two weeks. He has no relatives or friends there. Can someone please suggest what options does he has to get his PR cards mailed to him. Need a quick reply. Thanks.

I think it is of necessity to state an address in which, if sought for within the first two months , one will be found. However, if there's no address to show at the time of landing, no problem. Go on with your life, as soon as you have a stable address, you can contact them, and your PR Card will be delivered to you when ready.

HELLO FRIENDS
FINALLY LANDED IN EDMONTON ON 21ST JAN 2014 :D
LANDING EXPERIENCE WAS VERY SMOOTH AND ENJOYABLE ;D
THE LANDING FORMALITIES AT CALGARY AIRPORT WENT SMOOTH AS WELL. AFTER FILLING THE DISEMBARKATION FORM, I WENT TO THE PASSPORT CONTROL, WHERE I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE COME TO DO MY LANDING. SO I WAS DIRECTED TO THE IMMIGRATION COUNTER, WHERE A LADY OFFICER SAW MY VISA AND COPR AND ASKED ME TO SIGN COPR IN FRONT OF HER.
I GAVE THE MAILING ADDRESS OF ONE OF OUR FORUM FRIEND WHO IS IN EDMONTON. I WILL GET MY PR CARD IN 6-8 WEEKS TIME.
FROM THERE I WENT AND COLLECTED MY LUGGAGE AND WENT TO CUSTOMS. I HAVE NOW OFFICIALLY BECOME PERMANENT RESIDENT OF CANADA. IN NO TIME I WAS OUT OF THE AIRPORT AND TOWARDS MY HOTEL ACCOMMODATION IN EDMONTON.
THE CLIMATE WAS 1 DEGREE CELCIUS. IT WAS BEARABLE.
AFTER REACHING HOTEL ROOM, CRASHED IN BED AND SLEPT LIKE A BABY FOR THE NIGHT.
NEXT DAY, AFTER HAVING A HEARTY BREAKFAST AT TIM HORTONS FOR $ 5, WENT TO SERVICE CANADA AND GOT MY SIN NUMBER. SIN CARD WILL COME TO ME IN A WEEK'S TIME
THEN WENT TO HEALTH ALBERTA AND GOT REGISTERED FOR MY ALBERTA HEATH CARD, WHICH I WILL GET IT IN 1 WEEK
THEN WENT TO EDMONTON CITY CENTRE AND HAD A DELICIOUS LUNCH FOR $ 8 AT KFC.
NEXT WENT TO EDMONTON CITY HALL FOR NEW ARRIVALS AND GOT LOTS OF BOOKLETS AND BROCHURES FOR NEW ARRIVALS ON TOPICS LIKE HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT ETC.
NEXT WENT TO EDMONTON CITY LIBRARY AND BECAME A MEMBER AND GOT ACCESS TOP FREE INTERNET AT THE LIBRARY APART FROM BORROWING UPTO 40 BOOKS, DVD'S ETC FROM THE LIBRARY. THE LIBRARY IS HUGEEEEEEEEEEE AND WELL STOCKED WITH EVERY IMAGINABLE TOPIC OF BOOK TO READ IN THEIR SPACIOUS SPRAWL-OUT.
SEARCH FOR A RENTAL PLACE TO STAY IS GOING ON. HOPE TO FIND IT SOON.
WILL SOON GO TO SCOTIA BANK TO OPEN UP MY A/C.
EDMONTON IS A VERY NICE CITY TO START FOR A NEWCOMER.
I AM VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY TO LAND IN EDMONTON AND START MY NEW LIFE FROM HERE.
WILL KEEP YOU ALL POSTED WITH FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS.
