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

[aybee]

I landed at Toronto on 5th via london. Everything was good. The immigration officers were very polite. All of them were young girls and guys. The asked me about the cash that i was carrying. They did not take my B4 forms. The gave me another form and told me to fill it. Next day i want to TD canada and opened an account and got my SIN number.....

Traveled by Brampton Transit.....and man it's hot here. Yesterday it touched 40...i could'nt believe it is Canada...!!!!

The only thing that sucks here is the cell phone plans....very costly when u compare it to INDIA. I went to get roger's or bell connection whit the Apple 3GS connection but all the 4 outlets i visited said that the 3GS are sold out as the 4G will be launching. So decided to get a Koodo for now and will get the 4G when it is out....

Hey, Congrats! And Welcome Aboard!
Pre-book that, else on the D-day (& for sometime) u'd find them gone as well (sold out). U can pre-book it online@Apple. Or visit the Apple Store@Square One, Mississauga.

But avoid pre-booking@Bell, Rogers, Fido & Koodo, 'coz they'd be locked for a 3yrs contract. With Apple it's [supposedly] coming unlocked, this time. Then the choice could be enormous. Which is really a relief, blessing I'd say.

Depends upon which Province you land and plan to stay, Ontario takes 3 months to get your health card activated.

Rocky,
Will new immigrant wait for 3 months b4 applying for health card or can apply for the card immediately they arrive but will not be activated till after 3 months.

It all depends which province you will be residing. AB has no waiting time. ON & BC has 3 months waiting time.

Apply once you have a permanent address in province and then like in Ontario it gets activated only after 3 months from the date you became PR in Canada
