I stopped checking the forums about a month ago just to get my mind off Canada for a while.

I literally read through 50+ pages just to catch up yesterday and was hoping for PPR at the end of it. Somehow it worked

Folks, how soon you got your PR card?

Hi - Does anyone know if US customs at Toronto or Vancouver airport must be cleared before 8:30 pm? If my flight is at 11 pm, does that mean I should arrive at the airport like at 7 pm to ensure i clear customs on time?

I'm glad people in this thread are getting their PPRs. And for once they are actually justified in using the word "finally". I hope that by December this year, this forum becomes irrelevant and this thread dies out completely.

I hope you get your ITA before IRCC starts their NOC specific crap.

You didn’t get it at the airport?

They don't have Service Canada desks at airports anymore AFAIK. Been like that for almost 2 years now.

Congrats bro,I am really happy you finally made it.Welcome to canada

Thanks, mate. Been waiting for this for so long - no more worries about visa extensions, stampings, H1B lotteries... Can just live life now.

I think in Torronto finding a job is very easy if you are in supply chain ,IT,BI.... The pay ,rent and tax is what makes it hard there.

It's mainly just the pay. Tax is on par with most American states (WA and TX are exceptions ). One would make like 90% in CAD of what they would get in USD in big US cities in the tech industry. And the rent is actually quite comparable to west coast cities even after accounting for the lower pay. So, I'm not feeling the pinch.

Good luck, hope you can get an apartment and employment sorted as soon as possible.

Thanks! I've been holding onto a job offer for a long time and will finally join next week. Will start the apartment hunt tomorrow.

Interesting, shows how long I’ve been away.

I agree, if you are early in your career Toronto's better. If you are experienced and have quality work experience, then get a job in Alberta (preferably before you move there)

I hope the tech industry catches on in Calgary. I see some startups coming up these days. Living close to Banff is worth a paycut IMO

Lol @“finally”, I think that should be reserved for me…

I may be the head of the OGs, I’m not even of this era…
