* 1 laptop bag (just keep laptop/chargers/few documents in this bag)

*Please check the weight limit applies to special student tickets contact your travel agent or airline for clear instructions on your itenary.
*Must Carry your passport, Acceptance letter of your college and Other documents as instructed by the CHC along with VISA approval letter
*Carry your original educational certificates/degrees with multiple xerox copies of all the important documents with you
*Scan and email all the documents to your email account so that in case you lost physical copy you can retrieve copy of originals from emails.
* Latest passport size photographs and stamp size photographs


Money
* Its advisable to carry 3000 CAD with you.
* INRs can be exchanged to CADs easily by various agents who are omnipresent in most of the cities of India
* Try carry a change of 10$ with you coz you will need 25 cent coins to make calls. ($50C per call/ $2 for trolley at airport)
