Dear Friends

after a long wait (painful and slow) I have got the PPR and waiting for the visa. I will have to enter Canada by April (which is next month) so i have literally a very short time to sort out everything including tickets, packing, finance and lots of other small things. I was wondering if anyone can help me to find a place to stay in Toronto:

i am actually looking for a place to stay in Toronto as I have no relative/ acquaintance/ friend who live in Canada. I am looking for a long term place to live like house or flat share. I really do not want to stay in a hotel as they r too expensive......

I know I am asking too much but just trying my luck here as I know this forum has helped me so much


Regards

1. go to
http://www.sulekha.com/

2. search for word
Roommates

3. Click on change
City: CityName

Once you click change city name, you will get option to change Country to Canada, and you could search for sharing accommodation.

I have never tried with Canada, but this site has proved to be gr8 help in USA to find sharing accommodation, so hope it would be good help to find same in Canada too.

good luck.

It's actually not wise to fetch a 'long-term lease' prior to landing. A short-stay accom is your best bet for a week or two. Rest, as per my response to your PM.

Why do you have only till April. Just curious.. because the time to complete landing formalities is usually 1 year after your medicals..

hello Shibleebd:

Mabrooooooooooooooooooooooook for your PPR:::

Do you really Think that getting PPR from CIC London is a confirmation of the getting Visa, my friend got his PPR and wanted to plan ahead like you are doing, I mean book a ticket and arrange a accomodation etc. etc, do u think he should do that?

Please reply?? how much % confirmation of visa is there if someone gets his PPR...?

cheers

Every neighborhood has earmarked schools within - which r either walkable or the school bus fetches the kids, it's free, just like the edn. And never the ride is more than 15-20 minutes.
