Dear friends

i have landed smoothhly in toronto yesterday and slept whole time to get up just now.iam posting this straight away

i came by jet airways..fom chennai..flight was good and nice expect cramped leg space( iam 6ft tall)

the landing formalities are very simple..dont get too much fear or confusion in landing.i tell u have will feel so hapy and hav a sense of achievement when u land in canada

they just ask for proof of funds and dont even count them. the whole process took 15 mins for me.

got lot of info on newcomers desk

now in a apartment in scarborough. tmrw planning to get sin ohip etc..and after that planning to look into some survival jobs initially


the weather is great 27 degree..and the whole city is neat and superb.

Congratulations, wishing you a happy and rewarding life in Canada.

OMG, Jet Airways??
You didnt see Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific?

Toronto is an expensive city, if you fail to get a survival job quickly then you'd be in real trouble.

Hello Gigab,

I have just landed in Halifax Nova Scotia Aug 10., although we had relatives in the province...they lived very far from the city so I didn't want to bother them. We got a "Relocation Specialist" who did all the job for us. They met us at the airport, brought us straight to Service Canada to get the SIN, Medical insurance opened a bank account all on our first day. They arranged for a temporary stay and helped us with apartment viewings. Now we're on our 3rd day and we already signed a lease for an apartment and will be moving in over the weekend. Just an advice, don't book an apartment through the internet, you may not like the place and the neighborhood. I don't know if there is one in Toronto, but these Relocation specialists prove to be a big help. They helped us with the bus map routes, and you can ask them anything you want to know about since they were once immigrants like us at some point in their lives. Now they're helping us network to look for jobs.
