hiiiii Friends
it has been a long time to see u guys. first of all congratulations to all those who got MR/PPR/VISA.
i was busy with the landing preparations and then landed at 19 june at vancouver international airport under wonderful weather conditions. i used British airways, its cheap and best. excellent take off and landing experience with BA. custom check took half an hour. after that 1 hour to complete immigration process.
Nobody asked about proof of funds and cash with me. they only asked few people about cash in hand.(nothing importance). Nobody ask goods accompanying list, only required is goods to follow list.
Life is pretty fast in canada but its enjoyable once u have a job in hand. its difficult to find your first job but for the skilled people like all of you its a bit easier although it will take some time to be in your profession.
for the people going to land here, donot bring any grocery items with you its very cheap here. utensils, electronic accessories, and cloths are expensive here. Bring your driving licence from your home country (it will shorten the process of obtaining DL in canada).
for the people with kids, try to leave your kids at your home country for some time if you can, it will be easier to settle down here without kids during initial time.
Rest everything is so organised here, you will be excited to see the system run by Govt.
My best wishes to all of you for your respective next step. you people are free to ask any question. i will try my best to answer.
