Landed Immigrants: Share Landing, Job hunt, house hunt & other experience

[rocky272727]

Hi Rocky/ Qorax and other seniors

I have changed my name to include my surname. Only my Passport carries my name with name surname and all other documents are without it. Will that cause any knid of problem once I land in Canada. Specially License. Shall I get it sertified from DTO that Sanjeev Kumar and Sanjeev Kumar Dhiman are one and the same person or not? Tough I have newspapers with me in which notice for change in name was published. I also have my old passport with name Sanjeev Kumar with me. What shall I do? Please advise.

An Affidavit will not have any validity in Canada as its not a legally accepted documents as per Canadian laws. Rest the name thing should not cause problems but will suggest you wait for more opinions on this one

that's not good.

 

[gcctocanada]

is this effective already for all airlines? meaning we can only now take one 23kg bag for immigration? impossible!

Hi All,
How has the house search experience been?
What do landlords ask for and what happens when there is no Canadian credit history?
Are leases typically for 12 months or less?
Thanks

1. There's no such thing as a uniform with most employers. However, certain corporates maintain some sort of dress-over like a blue colored shirt carrying the company logo -as with Bell Canada, red with Rogers, overalls in warehouses/factories etc.

2. Yes, upon landing u can file-in the CTB (Child Tax Benefit) & HST (Harmonized Service Tax) forms. U get some monthly respite thereon. CTB could fetch u anything around $300-400/child/month -based on your income & the kids age. It continues till the kids r 18 &/or your income goes above the threshold limit.

3. The Unemployment Insurance is not for not getting a job. It's for being retrenched & thereon unable to get another one. Obtaining that is not easy. Moreover, as a newcomer u r not supposed to look for any & many ways to fetch Govtl funds. This is how ppl from certain regions r looked down upon here. (plz pardon me for being harsh)

4. U'd need a resume for any type of job. Else, how do u sell yourself to a prospective employer? The rules of getting a job remains the same worldwide.

5. Time diff between India & Canada is 10.5 hrs. Toronto time + 10.5 hrs for India.
