My Landing Experience :

Sorry for late message. We finally landed on 19th October at Pearson International Airport. The direct PIA flight of almost 15 hours was a hectic but over all it was good. You will receive the declaration card in the plan to fill in. One heading was "Home Address" ; fill your home country address in it, not the Canadian Address where you are going.

When you hear "PR persons to go separately" stay in the line and keep moving (Dont go to PR line) so take the line where you see people standing and waiting inline facing immigration Counters.

The first immigration counter staff, after seeing the passports and landing documents directed us to to the hall behind them , where main immigration staff processed our documents and directed us to "SIN (Social Insurance Number) counter.

At SIN counter, they took our information, but told us that we need to visit "Service Canada" office for registration. We were given free booklets etc etc and we left the area to grab our language. We took 2 free trolleys to grab our language from the belt and saw our cartons at one corner.
Moved ahead to Customs, and show the goods lists to custom's officer. She took the "Goods to follow list" stamped and recorded everything.
If you have "Accompany jelwlery" list or "jewlery to follow" it is very good to have pictures. It Took 1:45 mins at airport.

Next day, we went to "Service Canada" office and got our SIN numbers in 15 minutes. After that we went to the Bank and open joint account there.

Mobile connections: Fido, Koodoo & Virgin all have same rates and same packages.
Wind service is cheaper but heard that it is not good.....pls inbox me if you know anything about "Wind" mobile service.
Rogers & Bell are expensive.

Health card will come after 90 days. The time starts when you land in Canada no matter when you apply for health card, but remember you need to open the bank account first , so that you receive the first bank statement at your home, you need to carry along the statement (If you dont have statement then you can use Lease agreement) with you to apply for health card.

Now, will go for driving exam soon.

Can any one tell me where to go for Orientation course for Resume building, Access employment workshop etc etc, pls inbox me as i am not reading forum regularly. So pls inbox in reply. Thanks

I hope this info helps.

I just have one query.

When you are told to submit biopage scan copies of main & dependents' passports + Updated Information Chart from London VO,

What does that tell the applicant about the stage of application?

Send your reply by email for faster processing. You are one step behind stamping.
This is PPR-1 stage. once the enough validity is verified, you will asked to submit original passports to Islamabad for stamping (PPR-2)

Dear Dhaka2014,

Congratulations on your passport request!
I am also FSW 2014 and my VO is LBM. Being a Saudi based applicant I've a query:
"I received an email from VO to submit within 60 days PCC from all other countries except Saudi Arabia.
Is this usual practice to request Saudi PCC at a later stage, not all together?"






.

Well, I am FSW2014 applicant. My VO is LBM.
My feedback for her is good. For the 3 emails I sent her, she replied 2 of them within 2-3 days.

It has been almost 15 days that I am waiting for my passport submitted in Islamabad office. Anyone else facing same situation?

Dear Dhaka2014,
"I received an email from VO to submit within 60 days PCC from all other countries except Saudi Arabia.
Is this usual practice to request Saudi PCC at a later stage, not all together?".

I really don't know. Did you mention Saudi Arabia in your address history for the last 10 years? I guess that's the form they check the addresses (countries) you have been for more than 6 months and ask for police clearance.

Did you receive MR and RPRF request in the same email?
