Congratulations on your safe landing. More blesings to and your family. Welcome to CanadaAbim said:Hello everyone trust we are all doing great.
Praise God with me for His mercies. We left Nigeria on July 5, 2016 for Toronto via Emirates. It was a long journey of 7hrs + to Dubai and another 13 hrs + to Toronto. We landed at about 4pm on July 6 and headed to the immigration after which we were directed to the officers reasonable for paper work. The queue wasn't that long as there were just about 6 people before us but by the time we were leaving, the queue had grown very long. The lady who attended to us was quite friendly and only asked some basic questions including how much we had for POF which she didn't ask to see or the evidence of the balance. Service Canada had issues so we were advised to obtain our SIN from anyone close to where we would stay. Next point of call was the customs which had a very long queue but we had to endure the wait as we wanted to get our excel sheet of list of goods to follow stamped, as we had sent 250kg of food & other personal items through air cargo the day before.We got all the necessary paper work and will not be charged any duties when we go and pick them.
We didn't realise that Service Canada was different from Service Ontario so we walked a 30 minutes in the hot sun to Service Ontario and met a very long queue. On getting to our turn at Service Ontario, we were told we had to go to Service Canada which was going to be another 45 minutes walk (the area we stayed in Ajax doesn't have a good transit system). Fortunately we saw a bus and the driver said he could take us but then he wouldn't collect cash for bus fares. We had to beg o and said we were JJC Canada. He allowed us and dropped us off at the stop of Service Canada. The obtaining of the SIN was very simple and short after which we went to the bank. We met very friendly people all the way who were willing to help and provide information even if it's not them you are asking from..noticed everyone we met today talked about the weather.
Onto the next level is our home search in an area that transit is easily accessible and would probably be close to potential work area.
I pray that everyone still awaiting one feedback or the other from CIC will have their testimonies on this forum veryyyyyyyy soon.
Have a pleasant evening.
;D, anyway PM your address so we know where to be coming for home made eba ;D.Abim said:Hello everyone trust we are all doing great.

....I remain grateful to God as it has ended in Praise yet again; Also grateful to every member of this most interactive, most informative and most friendly FSW Nigeria forum. I've developed "abnormal" penchant for checking my ecas in the last 2 weeks and wondered why I missed out on this all important status change which must have happened yesterday evening 8) I pray 2day that AVO starts making positive decisions with high level of urgency on all forumites whose status still reads "in process" IJN
