My Landing experience

[avishekchaudhury]

Dear All,

Sorry I to have disappear from the forum for the last few days

Well, we landed in Toronto on the 16th of April, via the Emirates flight from kolkata.

It was soo easy at the Immigration Section. We went to the immigration officer, who asked us a couple of questions only and asked if my last name - Chaudhury - was Bengali ? -I said Yes !!!

He then asked for our COPR's , asked us how much money we were carrying and an address to end off the PR cards to.

After that he let us go and we were directed to a newcomer section, who gave us a lot of books to look into and information of newcomer help.

From there we went to pick up our bags- remember to carry CHANGE $2 per trolley !!! or porters for $10-$12 + tips ( depending on number of bags )

Finally as we went out through customs an immigration officer asked us how much money we were carrying and if we had goods to follow - we did not so, off we went!!!
