Hello Everyone.... I did not for get about you all so i hope everyone is doing ok... I just want to say Congrats for everyone that got good news and trust me it the greatest feeling with you hear from immigration as long as it something good they have to tell you....lol

Here is and update with me and wifey...... We are doing good so far and wife is so glad that im here in Canada with her right now.. It now almost 3 months since i arrive on Canada soil. I got my resident card last week and my health card came to me yesterday in the mail. I have a bank account with Scotia Bank and Tangerine Bank.. Scotia Bank have a very good program for newcomers so you all can check them out if you want. The name of there program is called Startright"....... They give you a $2000 limit credit card with that program also but make sure you ask them for it because it is entitle for newcomers... The reason i got the Tangerine Bank account is to avoid the transaction fees which is something to think about also.. I just use Scotia Bank and my savings and the other as my spending....lol..... I got a job 2 weeks after i arrived and i purchase my first car one month later from saving my pay from work and my credit card.. I dont have to pay any monthly bills on my car which is good because i know we Jamaican are some boasty set of ppl on this planet. But i know what i want and im not going to show off because it not worth it in the long run and that we Jamaican need to realize. Im here in Canada driving on my Jamaican license with my 1 year international license also but for everyone that do have a Jamaican drivers license make sure to get a driving record from the tax office in Jamaica so you dont have to go tru the long process on getting a Canadian License...... If anyone have any questions just inbox be and i will sure get to you very soon........Maddant

Hey Maddants so glad to hear everything is going well. Actually since you have a driving history it will be fairly easy to get a Canadian license. When my hubby was here he brought his JA license and they let him do the written and both road tests within the week. He just had to pay the fees and he had his full G license in three days vrs the two years it usually takes.
