[WRaafat]

Welcome guys,

Thanks for the fast response.
are you sure its just travel permit ? (خلصت الخدمة العسكرية و لسه فى فترة الإحتياط)
i searched the internet and i think i have to tell them that im immigrating and get papers from (وزاره الداخليه & هيئه ا لتعبئه) so they can give me the travel permit and remove me from (فترة الإحتياط).

What was your case ?

Bro, welcome to our lounge ...
لو خلصت الخدمة العسكرية و لسه فى فترة الإحتياط بتطلع نصريح سفر من حلمية الزيتون

We got immigration visa on passport, when you do landing we get PR cards.

Bro,
For me I have finished the "fatreet E7tiat" already so not sure if you have to tell the army you are immigrating (well I guess not but better you check).

Hello bros,

did any one reach something solid about the travel permission from the army? in my case its mentioned "gheir matloob" as i finished fatret el e7teyat but I' am worried that i have an immigrant visa and not normal visa and just want to make sure I will not need a travel permission or something.

Dear All,

Does anyone considered " Landing " in Canada and then return to home country or country of residence for some time before travelling their for good ??

Have anyone decided the province where to settle and why?

Can we open discussions and exchange ideas

Thanks
Ramo

Yes let us have a discussion.
One thing I noticed is the time to get PR cards now is 85 days from landing day ... long time isn't it?

I' am planning to go there first alone without family, start looking for work till things get stable so they can land and stay, in case of things did not get stable and the visa is about to expire they will land to go back home till it gets stable
most probably will land in Ontario as its the best place for my career

so he did not need to get any permission before traveling?

 

[AbdelAllah]

No he didn't get any permissions before traveling (his passport is stamped with "غير مطلوب"

For me I would do quick landing with family, come back and then go finally in August inshaa Allah. Although it is expensive but better to apply for OHIP (requires three months) and P would take the same so by the time we go back these things will be ready inshaa Allah. Same as you Bro Toronto seems the place to go for the same reason of career, although I wish I live in Vancouver :-[

Hello Abdallah
your Health Care 3 month qualifying period will only start from the day you actually reside in Ontario, if you land and stay less than three month you have not qualified yet and you will start again your 3 month qualifying period when you come back to Canada and stay(August in your case).
so my advise, save your money and come once and stay, second advise come as soon as the weather starts to warm up in may or june and don't delay
because you may have to take the bus and walk and may not buy a car right away but if you come let's say in mid August you may have issues with weather on late September and October when fall starts to kick in (weather still manageable still in Sept. and October but why not actually enjoy your first few month instead of dealing with cold weather)

there are a few things also that may help you
as example you can bring as much money and goods when you are landing without having to pay customs but after that on your next time entering the country you will have to be careful what to bring and must declare everything and they are serious about customs and taxes here
car insurance is a lot cheaper the further you go from Toronto (big issue for new comers $400/month in Toronto)
please translate your driver license and have it stamped by the ministry of foreign affairs as it will cost you $40 to translate here (without it you will have to wait 1 year before you can drive)
try to study the driver license book and take the test as soon as you come (you can use it as a photo ID to apply for the health card and bank account...etc)
your international driver license is good to have only if you are going to rent a car not to buy a car( rent during the weekdays is cheaper)

also know your residency rules, how much you can leave the country for and how often is very important.
good luck to you all and let me know if you need help with anything
I wish you guys the best
