Hello to all,
Today, I landed here at Paradise, I mean Pearson International Airport, Toronto. It's really wonderful. Landing process was extremely simple. I did not face any kind of problem except getting change of 2 dollars for trolley. I did not find any vending machine and I had to go to Money Exchange Counter. I landed from Air India Flight AI 187, it was 1:30 hour late due to some airline problem and paper work at Heathrow Airport, London. Flight landed at 6:00 pm on 25th May, 2010. We had already got a form to fill (Declaration Form), filled the form and gave it to the counter at Airport and told the officer that I am the new immigrant. He sent me to the Immigration Counter. Luckily, there was no rush. A lady officer was there and she was jolly fellow. She asked me whether I am married. I said, No I am single. She again asked whether I have any children. I said I am single and she started laughing. I think she was kidding with me. I told her that I have more than 10,000 CAD and then she asked where I was working. I told her. She did not ask me anything about list of goods or any other thing. She then sent me to Newcomers Section, where I got bag and few pamphlets to know more about country and its system. After that, I was sent to another lady officer who also gave me some more pamphlets and told me about how to get SIN Number and Health Card. It took only 10 minutes to complete the process. Officers were really very cordial and supprotive. After that, I got my luggage. Struggled to get CAD 2. But, it was fine. I got that easily. My luggage was not checked anywhere. I went out and relatives were already waiting for me.
It was my landing process. I hope all my forum friends who are planning to land shortly will get bit relief with this one. I just wanna say that landing is very simple process. We have already got Visa and therefore, we need not to worry about landing. It will be done smoothly. Just be sure.
Take Care Friends.
